    Summary

    “Nope–no you have to keep the pressure on that, Colt–” Jody grabbed his hand, guided it back upward, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.

    There wasn’t anything of note behind him, just the pavement and a laughing couple stumbling their way around the corner.

    Was he concussed?

    “I’m not Colt,” Colt said, interrupting Jody’s thoughts. He cocked his head to the side, frowned, tried to lower his hand for the third time like he’d already forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. “I’m trying–I need to find Colt. M’not him.”

    Oh, yeah, he was definitely fucking concussed.

     

    (Ryland is concussed, Colt is framed for murder and concussed, and Jody is definitively lost in all the sauce because someone forgot to tell her that Colt has a twin brother.)

    Summary

    Three times Ryland Grace being sick is met with indifference + one time a sentient rock takes it very seriously.

    ~

    “Hi,” he says, trying out the word. He sounds snotty and sleepy. “Sorry to bother you. I think… I-I think someone el-else needs to watch my group.”

    There’s silence on the other end.

    “Why?” is all that comes next.

    Inconvenience.

    He’s always an inconvenience.

    Ryland sucks in a deep breath that leaves him coughing. “I don’t feel… I d-don’t feel very well, and… I t-threw up, and I…”

    His voice gives out before he can finish.

    Summary

    I am participating in @seth-whumps Whumperless Whump Event for July 2026!

    Get ready for 31 different stories featuring our lovely Ryland Grace. These are mostly stories about Grace and Rocky's relationship through the lens of whump, but Adrian, Carl, Eva, and original Eridians are featured as well.

    ~

    But Rocky uses another claw to grab a tissue and wipe at his skin. His touch is always surprisingly tender for being a rock.

    “Did you think…” his voice trails off. “Did you think I was gonna -”

    “No,” Rocky says immediately, cutting him off. “Grace sick. Grace hurt. But Grace no die.”

    Grace nods. “I wouldn’t have gotten through this without you.”

    Rocky dabs the tears around his eyes away. “Rocky would not be here without Grace.”

    Summary

    Rocky likes puzzles, and he's good at finding solutions, but he's getting tired of being the person everyone calls whenever they have an issue. When it comes to the problem that is Ryland Grace? Well, that's one challenge that he'll happily indulge in.

    or,

    Five times that Rocky knows Grace needs him and one time he realizes that he needs Grace too.

    Summary

    Leon extends a hand, a peace offering he shouldn’t feel the need to offer because it isn’t him that Piers is upset with. Piers stares at the hand, palm upturned, bruised and blackened with infection, anger and grief warring bitterly in his chest.

    “Piers,” Leon says quietly. “C’mere.”

    Piers grits his teeth against the burn of reflexive tears and takes the proffered hand, letting himself be pulled in until he’s plastered against Leon’s chest, hunched low so he can get his arms around Leon’s waist and tuck his head under Leon’s chin, letting himself be held.

    Or, Piers and Leon before RE: Requiem.
