    Summary

    “I thought you weren’t at all upset about any of this?” 

    “I’m not,” Al-Haitham insists. Stubborn.

    “Well, what happened then? Surely something’s bothering you, or else you wouldn’t be moving your things back and forth in the same spot like that.”

    Al-Haitham’s eyes drop to his hands, between them a box filled with little trinkets—souvenirs from his trips to the desert, no doubt, gleaming gem stones and jagged blocks of stone, the old runes on them barely legible from erosion. Al-Haitham sighs.

    “Nothing happened,” he begins, slow and measured, “I’m just looking for something.”

    The morning after their return to Sumeru City, Al-Haitham’s cover of nonchalance is blown for good.

    Summary

    Kaveh shoves at his roommate to little avail. “Don’t click your tongue at me when you’ve been going on about unpaid debts for the last week or so.”

    Alhaitham sighs. Up close, the skin below his eyes is a shade darker than normal. “Surely the concept of subtext isn’t so foreign in Kshahrewar for you to misinterpret my words.”

    “Enlighten me as to what else you could have possibly meant by ‘at this rate, you might as well forgo the month’s rent.’”

    Or, in which Kaveh has a revelation.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is a coward. Always has been. He doesn't take risks, and his failed scientific career, failed friendships, and failed romantic life don't prove otherwise. But he saved Rocky, whether that be out of selflessness or the fear of being alone again. He took a risk.

    Grace is glum in the midst of waiting for Taumoeba-06 to evolve (any day now), burdened by loneliness and touch-starvation. Attentive Rocky notices this in Grace's demeanor and checks in on him. Grace confesses how much he misses physical contact and surprisingly discovers the feeling is mutual.

    Rocky engineers a solution. Something that will drastically change the course of their relationship.

    Summary

    Two years, seven months, and change until Erid. Grace is starving, and Rocky's been counting the hours out loud like it might change anything.

    There's not much room on the Hail Mary for secrets. So Rocky says the word he's never said before: one Grace didn't even know existed.

    Summary

    After four years alone together in space, Grace and Rocky are finally learning how to enjoy being together without being in survival mode.
    Then Grace learns that Eridian houses have soundproof rooms for things best kept private.
    It turns out privacy means very different things to a human and an Eridian. So does being together.

    ***

    "What? What is quiet room?"
    "Room where nobody hears. Eridians have in houses."
    "And what do you do there?"
    "Eat."
    "Only eat?"
    For several seconds, Rocky tapped his fingers on the floor.
    "No."
    "That was a very long answer for such a short word."
    "Question was complicated". Rocky tapped his fingers against the floor again. "Why Grace asks so many questions, question?"

    Summary

    Rocky parrots the gesture equivalent of a sigh, forcing air through his vents and tilting his carapace forward.
    “Grace need release. Grace no do since Rocky got here. Bad Bad Bad for human health. Grace need to…give.” He reaches two arms forward in a mock “grabby-hands” motion.
    “Give, what do I need to give-”
    “Translator. I enter new word.”
    “Itll melt in your atmosphere, plus can't you just explain?”
    Rocky drops his arms to the ground and starts pacing around, clicking his fingers together. Grace turns his attention back to his computer. He can feel minecraft calling his name…

    “Why Grace no jack off, question?”

    OR

    Grace has erectile dysfunction, and Rocky is convinced he can fix it.

    Summary

    I’ve been looking forward to this moment for four years.

    For a variety of reasons, as well. Getting my feet back on solid ground. Being able to walk around properly. Having company, new actual sentient lifeforms other than Rocky to have conversations with (Armando and Mary don't count).

    But also seeing Rocky happy. Back with his mate, who he has basically not shut up about for the last two months, and various friends. Back on his home planet, that he spent 46 years alone thinking he would never see again. And that’s without the time spent with me on the Hail Mary, or the time travelling to Tau Ceti with his crew.

    You see, I have been excited about being somewhere new that isn't the spaceship. Rocky was excited about being home, on a planet with his own species, and most importantly, with his mate.

    That was two weeks ago, when we first landed.

    Since then, the only way I can describe it is that things have gone totally and entirely to shit.

    ****

    Grace and Rocky arrive back on Erid, and for the most part, things seem to be okay... until Rocky discovers that Adrian has another mate.

    Summary

    I snort. It's plain he's just being facetious, but I call him out on his bull-puckey anyway. "Me?! You're the one who threw the first punch—er, pillow—here, buddy!"

    I try yet again to squirm out from under his grasp, but he holds firm, the hand on my bicep restraining me just that much tighter. My face feels strangely hot—must be from the heat of Rocky's body permeating through the suit. But why the heck is my heart beating so fast?

    "Because Grace become sleep dumb, obvious," Rocky dismisses. His musical trills have pitched down into a low, vibrating thrum that reverberates across every point of contact between us. I shiver at the sensation, at the way I'm pinned there, at the heavy, warm weight of Rocky's body pressed against mine. My pulse quickens further, blood rapidly rushing both to my face and down south to my—

    Oh God.

    …or:
    The one where Grace is acting Strange™️ and Rocky uses the scientific method to deduce why.

    Summary

    “Whoa, wait, back up.” Holland instantly sat up in his seat, grabbing hold of the arm so he could twist round to face Holly. “Klein? As in Janet Klein? Did you fucking punch Janet?!”

    “Mr. March!” Principal Harrison admonished, “Language!”

    Holland gave him an apologetic wince before he looked back at Holly.

    “Holly,” he said, gentler, “Look at me.” He waited until Holly complied with his request. “Honey, did you punch Janet in the face?”

    ——OR——

    Janet runs her mouth, and Holly finds that sometimes, a little violence is very helpful, actually.

    Summary

    A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.

     

    Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.

     

    Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

    Summary

    March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.

    Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.

    Summary

    Inspired by a tumblr post by @goldenaltar about a no astrophage/space diplomacy AU I literally could NOT stop thinking about since I first read it.

    The first collaboration between eridians and humans involves planning for a proper first contact, out in space so their respective interstellar trip times are cut (approximately) in half. Grace was conscripted for ‘Project Neighborhood’ as one of many biologists on the team. He sneaks out to the tunnel connecting their ships after hours to try and catch a glimpse of a Real Life Alien - and there's an eridian on the other side who has the exact same idea.

    When their sneaking around catches up to them, they're forced to consider the implications of all this sneaking around, and maybe lean into them a little to keep from being thrown out the nearest airlock - or starting an intergalactic war.

    Summary

    On a flight to Fontaine, Kaveh gets mysteriously upgraded to first class beside an annoyingly handsome alpha who smells like the very essence of the heavens. Kaveh, however, has never willingly given an alpha the time of day, and he's certainly not about to start now.

    Probably.

    Maybe.

    Except why does this one smell so damn good?!

    As Kaveh made his way to row 3 seat B, the woodsy, petrichor-rich scent he’d assumed was some expensive air freshener in the airport terminal filled his senses far more strongly.

    ... The alpha. Seated in row 3, seat A.

    Kaveh stopped so abruptly the passenger walking behind him stumbled into his carry-on.

    His gaze collided with the alpha’s once more. From up close, the ocean hidden within those devastatingly beautiful eyes felt endless, inviting him toward depths he was already drowning in - instantly overcome by the dizzying sensation of falling from a cliff overlooking the vast, expansive sea.

    reminders
    • grade papers tablets
    • convince rocky not to pick twilight for movie night
    • dust the shelves or rocky WILL start counting the individual dust particles on them
    • biodome rain test soon!
    • look for gastronomy research articles

    tell the biodome workers to tone the rain down a little. just a little. because they may or may not have struck the fear of god into you last night with the storm simulation they threw at you.

    is it still platonic if you and your best friend cuddle while watching a romance movie and he scoffs at the couple on the screen and says they'll never have the bond you two have

    never let rocky watch movies with love triangles because again. he'll just keep saying, "when in doubt, poly it out." actually maybe we could do that nope scratch that!

    Summary

    “No.” Rocky said, cutting Grace off. “Grace big.” His carapace did a slow tilt in a very pointed ‘look down’ kind of motion.

    Grace swallowed hard and looked away from Rocky with another laugh, albeit more awkward and forced than before as he reached for the pipette.

    “That’s kinda something you’re supposed to pretend you haven’t noticed, pal.” He said stiffly and adjusted his weight on the chair. Maybe if he just silently acknowledged and made peace with how pink his face was it would go away.

    -----

    or, alternatively: grace has a massive dick. rocky is ovulating and horny about it.

    Maybe Stratt was right all along.
    Maybe I am going to die in space.
    I can feel it getting worse every day now.
    I feel it in the creaking of my bones, the burning in my eyes, the aches in my muscles, in my head, in the pit of my stomach.
    But there isn’t anything I can do about it now.
