    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

    Summary

    I can’t go home yet; I don’t want to face Adrian’s gentle comfort; I don’t deserve it. I can’t do anything useful anymore. I did my job and saved the planet, and I guess that’s it. No more engineering for Rocky. Maybe I’ll pick up something else, a new career to fill my time if no one will utilize my painstakingly crafted talents in the engineering world anymore. No, I can’t even pretend. I love engineering, I love making things, working on things, making things better. I need a project to fill up my thoughts until nothing else fits. Why won’t they give me one?

    Grace would give me one. He loves my inventions, praises me more than I can stand to hear. He wants my work still, right? I’m already halfway to the dome before I even realize it. It’s late for Grace, he might not even be awake, but I need to meet him. I need him.

    or Grace settles into Erid life pretty easily. Rocky struggles to do the same.

    Summary

    '“So, about that hug?”

    Rocky trilled and moved in much more gently this time, carefully wrapping two limbs around Grace’s middle and one up around his neck, claw resting on the back of his head.

    Then Rocky felt two arms snake up to wrap around his carapace as Grace’s legs simultaneously folded in to bracket him on either side. Grace’s torso bent forward until his head came to rest on top of Rocky and -

    Ohhhh.'

    Or the classic "Grace needs a hug" fic but from Rocky's point of view.

    Summary

    I don’t have Rocky to watch over me whilst I sleep, but the star model helps, a reminder of him every time I open my eyes. It doesn’t take long for me to start touching a hand to it when I get up, a kind of greeting. Good morning, Rocky. I hope you’re safe, wherever you are.
