Summary
Over my years of living, I have watched many failing systems. When in training for my position as maintenance engineer, I actively sought them out. You learn more from failing systems, you see, than you do from pristine ones that run smoothly.

Summary
On the good days, it can understand why I can't say yes when it asks for more painkillers.
On the bad days, like today, all it can focus on is the fact that it is in pain, and its only friend is denying it relief that it thinks that friend should be able to provide.

Summary
In a few years' time, Grace can picture the two of them laughing over this. Grace will be able to joke about the incident, and claim that this was Rocky's revenge for all the times that Grace had forced Rocky to deal with nightmares and sleepwalking and all of those irritating quirks of human sleep. Right now, however? Grace can't get the sound of Rocky's terrified screeching out of his head.

the isolation au by here_be_bec
Fandom Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
01 Feb 2026
Summary
It's a gradual, insidious thing, Fox's absorption into the Chancellor's office. The Chancellor wants a clone commander of his own, so he gets one. All Fox gets is a position far away from his brothers, a lesson in how to work around natborns who detest his very existence, and a seemingly endless list of monotonous jobs to keep him occupied through all his waking hours and beyond.
Fox misses Kamino.

Summary
“We call this ♪♫.”
“The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.
And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.
“What?” I ask.
“Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.
“It’s a rock.”
He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.
“Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”
/////
Or: Rocky learns the meaning behind the name Grace gave him.

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!

Summary
Four years after arriving on Erid, Ryland Grace has built a life. He teaches pebbles, swims in his ocean, arguers with Rocky, and lets Adrian carry him when Erid's gravity gets too heavy. He feels like he is finally home.
But not everyone on Erid sees him as a person. Some see a miracle. Some see a curiosity. Some see a treasure being kept behind sound dead walls.
And someone inside Grace's dome has decided Erid deserves more than glimpses.

Summary
"What did I walk like?" The memory wearing Ryland's face laughs, and the cruelty is all her. "You don't remember. You're slipping, Director."
She takes a breath. "I suppose that makes us even, then. Doctor."
OR: Stratt, alone with her ghost, after the work is done
