    Summary

    "The starvation-predation hypothesis (SPH) posits that, during food shortages, the risk of starvation requires prey to forego antipredator behavior to increase feeding rates. Such shifts in antipredator behavior may further increase the risk of predation."

    Grace finished his math and flitted his eyes over the formulas, checking for errors. The result had him pretty confident that Rocky would wake up before it was too late to check out the anomalous blip. Satisfied, he acknowledged the alert and silenced it for the next six hours. Mary would only re-alert him if something new appeared or the blip suddenly changed trajectory or speed.  

    Grace flopped back in the pilot chair and looked over at the window in the side of the cockpit. It pointed in the same direction as the cupola downstairs, and  Grace found himself staring at the binary stars again. A bright blue-white dwarf and its dimmer red-gold mate, quietly dancing and switching sides every few days as they orbited their primary star together. The odd pair. The dancing couple.

    As far as Grace knew, they were reflecting off the retinas of the only creature who could sense light within about 15 light years.

    Summary

    Es De Anatomía

    Idéntica A La Mía

    Su Rostro Es De Alegría

    Y El Mío Es De Agonía..

    -OR!!

    Simon appears on Grace’s ship, they meet VERY ugly, Simon’s trying to believe that he is in fact safe and free. He’s totally not so guilty that he’ll start crying if he thinks about the implications of his survival for too long, and he’s 100% not wondering if he even counts as a real person at all anymore. (But Grace doesn’t need to know that..)

    Also Grace is highkey a monsterlover on the DL.

    Summary

    The worst part about it, Simon thinks, is that when his skin starts to slough off, it’s replaced by a film of blood. And when that starts, the line of demarcation that separates what was strictly him and strictly other starts to fade. Even when his left arm detaches with an uneven rip and the voice in his head stops being his voice, he still hopes there’s a way to distill his real self from the sludge.

    Simon subscribes to the idea that people get what they deserve as a consequence of their actions. Something along the lines of karma. It brings a sense of closure, and he’ll take closure where he can get it. With that, Simon submits himself to the notion he’s getting exactly what he deserves. This is how it’s going to end - with him blindly slinging an axe in a battle for unsatisfying gulps of metallic air, fumbling around the dark for a line that used to exist.

    But he wakes up. And the first thing Simon’s traitorous brain thinks is that this man has the kindest eyes he’s ever seen.

    Summary

    An Eridian mining crew find a human welded into a stranded ship on the surface of a moon. They bring him back to Erid, to the only other human they know.

    Something in Grace's chest flickered into life. He had buried it so long ago that he hardly knew what it was anymore, and so he took off his glasses and cleaned them on the edge of his cardigan, as if Rocky's words were a smudge he could clear away before finding the will to hope.

    “Ah…” his words failed halfway out of his mouth. Rocky chittered at him, a little sound of encouragement. “There’s another human? Here. And… alive?”
