    Summary

    If Grace had to pick one word to describe the trip to Erid, it would be boring.

    If he had to pick a second word to describe it . . . it would be lonely.

    Or, on the way to Erid, Grace is getting pretty touch starved, but he had kinda already been touch starved? So he improvises.

    Summary

    The awareness of time is a delicate thing.

    It is slipping rapidly from Grace's fingers. Grace, who is starving to death, who is still recovering from the most precise amnesia Earth could give him, who turned around and left Earth in the hands of the Beetles save his one dearest companion even though it would kill him, is still a scientist at heart. Scientists solve problems. He finds ways to keep track.

    Rocky wouldn't approve, but what Rocky doesn't know won't hurt him.

    Summary

    "Will Grace try to eat?"

    Grace took a deep breath and nodded, he didn't want to argue with Rocky. Tell him how broken he was really feeling. Tell him how he was missing earth. Tell him he didn't know what to do anymore, but he couldn't. He just didn't have the courage to do so.

    3 months are still left on the flight plan to Erid and Grace is counting each and every day. Malnutrition, scurvy, loneliness and the missing of earth is tearing his body and mind apart. It seems like pieces of him are breaking off that might never be put together again. Perhaps Grace his mind will give up before his body does. Rocky wonders about that too. Frustrations grow between them as there is nothing they can do and nothing they can fix. A hard talk has to take place soon, but it might break the both of them.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Grace must not continue to have nightmare,” he states after a moment, “nightmare make sleep bad. Bad sleep bad bad bad for human health.”

    ”I know,” I assure him, my voice now sounding more like my own and less whiny, “just not sure what I can do about it. Trauma can take a lifetime to get over even at the best of times, and this,” I wave my hands around to indicate Mary and our general current situation, “is not the best of times.”

    Grace is desperately touch-starved and suffering from constant nightmares about the day he was forced onto the Hail Mary against his will. Rocky will fix, and Grace will discover some deep-seated truths about himself along the way.

    So basically this is me dumping everything possible onto my traumatised space cinnamon roll Ryland Grace, who is not a real human and is actually every single anxiety disorder stacked on top of one another, wearing a trenchcoat and crying. But it's OK, because Rocky is a very clever Eridian, and he will fix his leaky space blob whatever it takes. Mostly film canon but elements taken from the book. I'll leave an apology here in advance, you'll probably need it.

    Summary

    Atsushi is gay, which was quite hard to come to terms with, Atsushi is touch-starved, and this is something he has no idea how to deal with, Atsushi is asexual, but he absolutely doesn’t know this yet.
    Also he has mild to severe anxiety, because I’ve been living with it for years and because I said so.

    Happy late asexuality day, everybody!

    Summary

    "It's just...I'm not a fan of kissing in general. I'm asexual."

    "Oh. Ohhh."

    "Yeah."

    ~

    After their first date, Davey spontaneously comes out to Jack as asexual, which, for him, includes kissing. Very much based off my own experiences, but I hope others can relate as well.

    ~

    Inspired by a lovely fic that is linked and that you all must go read! I don't care that it's a different fandom, it will still make sense. Read it!!

    Summary

    Here’s a little known secret: Jon doesn’t like kissing.

    Or rather, it’s more accurate to say he hates it, as an immutable fact of the universe. The earth revolves around the sun, Oxford is filled with elitist pricks, and Jon hates kissing.

    An examination of boundaries, or lack thereof.

    Summary

    It didn’t make any sense. Martin remembered having a crush on his friend. He remembered the fantasies, remembered coming up with a thousand first-date scenarios, remembered stammering and stuttering and wanting so badly to take Nino’s hand in his own. But now it was gone, and Martin was left with nothing but discomfort and guilt so thick he nearly choked on it.

    So, there it was. The world was nothing like a fairy tale. His mother only ever got sicker, her affection for him only ever grew more a thing of the past, and love was…

    Well, love clearly wasn’t for him.

    That didn’t stop him from falling hopelessly, irrevocably, head-over-heels in love with Jonathan Sims.

    Summary

    No matter how many partners he’s had in the past that had been nothing but respectful and considerate, it doesn’t make this part any easier. The fear that he’ll miss his chance before he even gets to take it, the nagging suspicion that people don’t really understand what he means when he brings it up the first time—it’s all hard to shake off. He has to be sure.
