    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    ~~~

    Edit: I made some minor continuity and grammar edits on 6/20, this is the final version!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "Rocky," I say, "obviously, we are both the best at first contact to ever do it. I love you, dude. Fist me."

    Summary

    It's the same word as before, clear as day.

    “But… But I can’t.” Grace says blankly. Rocky knows that. Nevermind the xenonite between them, keeping one or both of them from withering in indescribable pain then a swift death, both of their species were wildly incompatible. Trying to merge their biology would be less successful than mixing oil and water.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace never considered himself to be the best guy to ask about gender. Sure, he lived in San Francisco, and he was the cool teacher, always priding himself in being understanding and making his class safe space for all of his students, including the queer kids who needed it. He’s better versed on the topic than the average cisgender man, probably, but he’s not claiming to be an expert.

    Even so, he was hoping that’d translate into being more knowledgeable about it than an alien with no concept of gender sixteen light years away from Earth was, but there were a lot of things Adrian one-upped him on.

    Summary

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

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –
