    Summary

    Nine candles on a homemade cake and a broken heart I didn’t have the words to explain at the time. I just didn’t want to make them sad, telling them that I wished I weren’t there. 

    That I missed her. That I wanted her. Not them. 

    “They’ll take good care of you, Rye-Rye. You won’t miss me at all, just you wait and see.”

    Bright red lipstick framing bright white teeth, flashing a smile at me before she ducked into his car and they drove off. I watched them even after I couldn’t see them anymore. 

    I didn’t even know his name, my mom’s new boyfriend. But I hated him. Because he made her choose. Him or me. 

    Nine candles on a homemade cake. 

    I remembered. 

    Grace starts to remember his past.

    It isn't even close to what he imagined.

    Summary

    “It occurs to me, after spending a few weeks with Rocky intermittently in his new suit, that I may have messed up some neural pathways in my brain. Rewired them.

    I can hug Rocky now. I can hold his hand, or pat the top of his carapace, or pester him until he cards his claws through my hair. Pretty much anything I can think of, I can do with him. It’s not without limitations, of course, the suits’s structural support occasionally providing some challenges to work around, but it should be enough.

    Yet, I find myself craving more. Not in frequency, but in intensity. I want to lay arched backwards over him until every vertebra in my spine hurts. I want him to tug the tangles in my hair and scratch at my scalp until I can feel it in the bone of my skull. I want my ribs to creak with every hug. I want more heat than the barrier will let through. To feel it prickle and sear against my skin—just the right side of actually burning. I want to dig my cheek into the jagged edges of him until they imprint on my skin.”

    Summary

    Eridians know about sex,” he begins, and I stifle myself before I can say I’ll bet you do because I know he’s trying to go somewhere with this. “But gender, it is more difficult. Erid not have social equivalent, language not have equivalent. We use same pronoun for everything, even not-Eridian things and not-alive things. You say humans, they are bothered by the wrong pronoun; you will be upset that we do not use for you a male pronoun, question?

    I furrow my brow and grin in disbelief. “Rock, no, that’s quite literally the least of my worries right now.”

    Summary

    I was going to live. If this stranger gave me a month’s worth of food I could at least stretch that out with the taumoeba in between. I’d be sick as a dog by the time we reached Erid but I’d be alive.

    Rocky continued his happy thrilling for a full minute as I hugged him, and then pulled back and turned to look at the lab.

    < What other human want for trade, question? Rocky can make. Rocky make anything! >

    “I don’t know pal, but whatever he wants is his!” I said confidently.

    OR: Starving Grace needs to trade himself for food to survive the trip to Erid. A decision that will traumatize him and Rocky.
