    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    Ryland Grace will only live for a short part of Rocky's life, something the Eridian can't seem to come to terms with. But when Grace suddenly is changed into an eridian, Rocky's problem seems to have been solved. But is that even something Grace wants? The two have to tackle the difficult realities they are now facing, leading Grace to an impossible choice.

    Live a longer life in a body that is not his, or let Rocky spend the rest of his life without him.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace does not have a soul mark.

    That alone wouldn't be too unusual. Plenty of people don't have them or develop them later in life. If that was all it was he would be fine with it. Thrilled in fact!

    No, it wasn't that he didn't have a soul mark. It's what he had instead.

    On Ryland Grace's forearm, there was a patch of unpolished hematite where a patch of his soulmate's skin should be.
