    Summary

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."

    "No robot," Rocky promises.

    (Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)

    Grace blinked. It took a few seconds for the words his eyes were seeing to reach his brain, get absorbed and then processed. When the information arrived, the wheels started turning, but slowly and sluggishly and he wasn’t even sure in which direction they were turning.

    There was absolutely an itch in his mind. Something about this was…


    Grace clicks on the wrong Wikipedia link and learns something about himself.

    Summary

    River Cartwright doesn't like sex, and he doesn't like dating. Somehow, an ill-fated conversation with Spider, the first close friend he makes as an adult, where he tries to explain this results in River finding himself in a friends-with-benefits arrangement that he doesn't remember agreeing to, doesn't want, and can't find a way out of.

    It's not like it's... it's not like it isn't his fault. That's what River tells himself. He lets it happen, after all, so who else can be to blame? He doesn't get to be traumatized by this. It's not like he was raped. Later on, when people start finding out, they have a different opinion. To them, it's clear that this is in fact exactly what happened.

    OR: Five times someone learned about what Spider did to River, and one person who already knew. Ft. repulsed aroace River, a heap of internalized victim blaming and aphobia, and the pain of not having the words to describe who you are and what's happened to you.

    Summary

    "I don’t like oranges.”
    “Since when?” Eddie frowns. “You used to love oranges.”
    Christopher shrugs. “I don’t like them anymore.”
    And that’s fine, really. Tastes change. Christopher doesn’t have to like oranges.
    It’s just that he does. Christopher loves oranges. Christopher has loved oranges since the first time he tasted one, Eddie watching on over a shaky video call from the desert.

     

    Or, Eddie knows his kid, and his kid loves oranges. Buck knows both of them better than Eddie realized. He shows it in various citrus-based ways.
