    Summary

    Grace points at the five tentacles.

    “So. Normally these are inside of you. But they have some length to them, if they’re able to reach outside of your body entirely like this. Do…? I mean, has any Eridian tried putting them into another like, Eridian, or…?”

    Rocky squeaks, a rush of air from his vents in a short burst. Scandalized.

    “Put inside!? No no no. Disgust! Grace think like pervert! No no no.”

    “It was an innocent question! Humans put their penises in any hole that can fit! Even stuff that isn’t alive, like, food or—”

    Another squeal, this time Rocky stands on three legs. His two limbs used currently for his arms wave erratically.

    “Perverted! Perverted! Perverted! Grace disgust! All human species disgust!”

    Summary

    Colt had made it a point to not let that inadequacy get to him after their discussion. Ryland seemed to do the same. They balanced out each others’ weaknesses, lending a hand when the other faltered.

     

    Or: When it comes to solving a certain problem, Ryland Grace uses his fists.

    Summary

    Maybe Grace notices his hesitation, because he reaches up to cup his cheek with his hand. His blue eyes — not the buzzing, neon cyan of the advertising signboards scattered around the city, shimmering holographic illusions selling dreams to the damned, but the colour of what K imagines to be the gentle blue of a summer sky: the kind that people whisper used to be the norm, before they choked the air with smog and ash — are kind. His palm is so warm without the usual thin barrier of his medical latex gloves — K can't help the way he leans into his touch, like a sunflower turning its face towards the sun, a stray dog seeking comfort from the first kind hand that feeds it.

    It's okay, K, Grace says soothingly. I'm here. Don't be afraid; take as much from me as you need.

    How do you teach a man who has only ever been taken from, how to take?

    The answer: slowly. Fortunately, Grace is a dedicated teacher.

    He doesn't think Grace knows what exactly he has at the end of the leash, but he won't pull at it. He's a good guard dog, after all.

    Summary

    "It's me," Court says calmly. "Your favorite book at the library was the Eyewitness Book about fish because you liked the colors. You always got offended when Colt called some ugly, but there were some ugly fish in there."

    "No," Ryland whimpers. He's still crying, tears dripping down his cheeks to trail down his stubble-lined jaw.

    "Yes," Court assures him. "It's me, Ryland."

    Summary

    “Grace safe now,” Rocky repeated. “Grace safe with Rocky.”

    Of course he was safe here -- or as safe as an untrained astronaut could be on a jury-rigged ship rocketing through deep space on a mission he only half understood with his alien best friend, anyway. But there had been a time…

    He wasn’t ready to say it out loud. Not yet. Maybe not ever. But part of him was sure he’d experienced… something. Something worse than being held down, sedated, and then forced into a suicide mission. Something really bad. Something unspeakable.

    (Grace has nightmares. He starts to piece together what happened to him before he left academia.)

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Summary

    "The first thing that Ryland noticed, aside from the fact that his literal clone had just popped up in a small diner in the middle of San Fransisco, was that the guy was wearing sunglasses.

    Inside.

    They were perched on the bridge of a nose that looked like it had been broken several times—ouch—but, that was definitely his nose. Same cheekbones. Same jaw. Ryland would know. He saw it every morning, in the streaky mirror in his bathroom.

    Upwards of two decades of not seeing his twin brother, and all Ryland could focus on was that Colt was wearing sunglasses inside. Like, seriously. Who did that?"

     

    or:

    they say that distance makes the heart grow fonder.

    ryland grace and colt seavers both know that distance only makes it hurt more.

    Summary

    “Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.

    “No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”

    “You are not Eridian!”

    He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.

    or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

    Summary

    “Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.

    I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.

    or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.

    Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.

    Or: The sex pollen amoeba fic you (never) asked for.


    Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.
