    Summary

    A collection of short stories about Ryland Grace if he was Deaf. Less a cohesive and linear story told in small pieces, and more a handful of fics all orbiting around one idea.

    I'm hearing, and my knowledge of sign language and Deaf culture is limited to what I learned in my classes and my conversations with d/Deaf people. If I made any mistakes or misrepresented anything, please tell me! My goal is to be as accurate as possible and I mean no disrespect.

    Summary

    Eridian brains shut down completely when they sleep, that’s why they watch over each other during their sporadic sleep cycles. There’s absolutely no activity going on in there, except for the individual worker organisms going around and fixing things up. Eridian’s brains “reactivate” once their bodies are good and ready to wake up, and not earlier. The point is, they don’t experience anything remotely similar to human dreams.
    So, how do I explain nightmares to someone who literally cannot dream?
    ---
    OR, Ryland Grace is more deeply affected by their experiences with life and death than he lets on... at least while awake. As his and Rocky's mission progresses, sleep becomes something Grace dreads, for fear of what his unconscious mind will put him through. Rocky, in typical Rocky fashion, approaches the problem with the best solutions he has to offer.

    Summary

    “Left you a gift, Johnny,” Ghost answers.

    “Aye?” Soap says and Ghost can about hear his grin. “I’m quakin’ in excitement, Lt.”

    Soap leaves his mic on and Ghost can hear the creaking of the door open and the soft rustle of Soap's tac gear as he walks over to the body.

    A sharp intake of breath and then a low whistle.

    “Careful, Lt,” Soap rumbles, accent noticeably thicker, “bloody gifts like these, might think yer courtin’ me proper. The old way at least.”

    And that's how it starts.
