    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.

    Summary

    "I don't- I am not your dog," Grace defended himself weakly, pulling his hands from her shoulders with a huff.

    He tried not to cringe away as Stratt slowly rotated her chair to face him. She had one eyebrow cocked slightly, eyes half lidded and hands folded in her lap.

    "No?" She questioned. "You are one of my most obedient scientists. It isn't difficult to see why they draw such a comparison."

    Summary

    Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.

    Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.

    Grace, though…

    Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

    Summary

    He’s fine, he’s slept alone before, he can sleep alone again. He doesn’t need someone watching him, he’s not a baby, crying in the dark for a… what’s the word…. nightlight! Adults don’t babble for their parents after a nightmare. His skin doesn’t crawl, there’s no sense of impending doom, there’s no danger crawling up from the shadows, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with Rocky- he’s in the next room over, the same place he’s been for the last few days, working on his project alone, just like he wanted-

    Grace is tired. He’s so, so tired.

    Or: Grace and Rocky have an argument that results in them avoiding each other, which leads Grace to realise he's become more reliant on Eridian customs then he first thought.

    Summary

    Eridians show affection mostly through singing, or by making gifts. Rocky has always found it an easy, uncomplicated way to express his feelings.

    Human affection is neither easy nor uncomplicated, he quickly discovers. It’s full of strange customs, involves a lot of touching and is, sometimes, worryingly violent.

    Summary

    “We call this ♪♫.”

    “The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.

    And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.

    “What?” I ask.

    “Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.

    “It’s a rock.”

    He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.

    “Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”

    /////

    Or: Rocky learns the meaning behind the name Grace gave him.

    Summary

    “Insanity,” he says, eyes flitting across the milky-white pages. “Nothing but insanity.” Mirage smiles and flips a page. The book opens to a charcoal drawing– a faceless void with a sharp grin, and streaks of black across the page in distressed lines without rhyme or reason. Inside the creature’s hands

    death blooms.

    “I think it’s beautiful,” Mirage lets out a breathy voice, studying the art and running his gloved hands over the marks. “There’s always insanity somewhere inside the tortured artist.” He looks at Tommy with a soft honeyed gaze. “At the intersection of art and humanity, there is madness.”

    Your average vigilante!Tommy fic, but the villains are actually villains.

    Summary

    Tommy has always felt pulled towards witchcraft. The warm tingling in his hands whenever he got into contact with anything even remotely magic, his constant urge to collect trinkets and clutter and his wild dreams were just examples for that. You could say he was born for it. But witchcraft is frowned upon and the only people who were allowed to tend to it properly were the witches of the Academy.

    That doesn't stop Tommy from dipping his toes into the matter, in the most chaotic and dangerous ways possible.

     

    Or: Tommy's shitty altar and feral behaviour catch some unwanted attention of the rest of the SBI.

    Summary

    For the first time in years, Wilbur wakes up alone. The room is dark with the night, and silent without Techno’s soft snoring. When Wil looks to his side to search for his brother, he finds a little slip of paper instead.

    On the paper, he finds a confession.

    He finds that his brother has been bit.

    (Or, zombie apocalypse AU in which Techno and Wilbur have grown dependent on each other through survival. Techno ends up getting bit, and as a result, he leaves Wilbur in a safe town so he won't put him at risk.

    Wilbur doesn't agree with being left behind. They will stay together, through everything. Even something like this.)

    Summary

    It’s not the first time a scared kid has run to a Hero and insisted on staying with them, saying they’re the only one who can keep them safe. Hell, it’s not even the first time it’s happened to Techno.

    But there’s something different about this one. He’s sharper, a bit too knowing of what’s going on around him despite his age.

    Tommy is a different case but Techno’s duty is just the same: Protect the kid. Above all else, protect the kid.

    Every other Hero would do the same. So why are Phil and Wilbur acting like Techno is doing anything other than his job?

    (Or, a scared kid named Tommy only seems to trust Techno to protect him. That would be fine if Techno wasn’t suddenly getting overprotective over a kid he just met, neglecting his duties, relationships, and experiencing a sudden personality shift...)

    Summary

    Theseus, who didn’t know about him? He was the snarky hero that went from sitting in the medbays of the underground hero complex of Pogtopia, healing every hero that came in injured to fighting with the best heroes L’manberg had ever seen. He was a legend, an influence, and he always worked for the greater good!

    Tommy wished that was how he saw himself too. Ice cold water dripped around him, his body screaming from the pain of the fall, though his power worked to fix him.

    He couldn’t think of himself as the hero. Not as his hands stitched together the bruised and cut body of the one and only villain Siren. With both their breathing was shallow, near close to death, Tommy would be damned if he didn’t think the other was questioning why he was doing this. Even Tommy didn’t know.

    Tommy was no hero, not after he had saved the life of Siren.

    Or: Healer hero Tommy saves villain Wilbur and neither of them know how to handle that.

    “What if we screw things up? Gods, Tommy is so fucking happy now. What if—what if this ruins that?”

    “We’ll figure it out together, Phil,” Kristin assures him. “The way Tommy has always talked about him—how much he’s dreamed of seeing him… even if it’s hard, we can’t take this away from him. Even if things get messy.”

    “We’ve got each other. We’ve always gotten through stuff together. This’ll be no exception, you’ll see.”

    It has been four days, eighteen hours, twenty minutes and fifty seconds since Tommy has seen the sun. Or another person. A plant. One of those mangy stray cats that frequent the same secluded alleys as him. Or anything, really… beyond the stained walls and faded carpets he'd been surrounded by since he first found himself here.

    Wherever "here" was, that is.
