    Summary

    If you were to ask Grace when this all-consuming longing for his engineering roommate started, he’d say around the beginning of their third year of college, the time that he started dragging said roommate, whom he didn’t exactly talk to beforehand, into his awful morning routine. And said roommate, for whatever reason, decided that he wanted to hang out with Grace every other second of the day, anyway.

    But if you were to ask the same question to the aforementioned roommate, Rocky, himself…

    Well, er …the truth is that he fell in love with the oblivious nerd the day he moved into their apartment.

    or, “trust me when I say that I’m usually a blunt and direct person, so I also don’t know why I can’t tell my roommate that I’ve been falling for him for the past year that we’ve been living together.”

    or, loosely, the five times that rocky fell for grace, and the one time that he finally told him.

    Summary

    Grace comes to terms with the fact that he's probably an interstellar homewrecker. Rocky finishes building his "tools."

    "So, I'm back in the lab, trying once again to focus on literally anything but the mysterious clinking emanating from Rocky's side of the ship. I still don't know for certain what he's been making, and he's been cagy whenever I try to needle him for information, but I can still make informed guesses. I try to let the scientist in me take the wheel whenever I think about it, though, or I'm liable to have a heart attack. My running theory is some kind of... phallus. To be put into me. There were a couple days earlier this week during our 'activities' where Rocky would fixate on my lower stomach and pelvis area, tapping away down there. And if his goal is to listen more closely to me without having to cut me open and get in my guts, that's about the best option he has."

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace’s life was normal and fine. Good, even. He made his living as a science communicator for a video production studio— The “Bill Nye for Gen Alpha”, they called him. As the show grew in popularity online, he felt satisfied, but restless for something else. Then he met an engineer.

    James “Rocky” Rockfield had lived in San Francisco his whole adult life, working as an engineer for a company that built mass spectrometers. He was a cog in a machine that created machines, and he liked it that way. Rocky played piano at jazz bars on the weekends, was in what the kids would call a “queerplatonic relationship” with his partner Adrian, and at least had enough disposable income to buy a fancy coffee every day. What more could he want? Then he met a scientist.

    Summary

    “Grace.”

    “What?” He asks, the corner of his mouth turning up into a grin. His eyes dart between his mates, left to right, as if he has the audacity to be surprised about it.

    “Use you?” Adrian sings incredulously, tapping the floor twice in unmistakable question. “Elaborate. What do you mean, use you?”

    -

    AKA Grace offers to carry his mates' eggs under the impression that it will be a walk in the park. How hard could it be?

    As it turns out, pretty freaking hard.
