    Summary

    During Erid’s ecstatic celebration of the sun returning to its pre-cold luminosity, and Grace’s 30th month on Erid, Rocky broaches a concern that has been bothering him deeply.

    What happened to Grace’s tail?

     

    Or: human evolution left over a lot of “useless” parts, luckily these structures are all entirely harmless.

    Summary

    Grace, Rocky, and Adrian spend an afternoon fishing in the biosphere. The water’s looking nice, and the miscellaneous Eridian wildlife (that Adrian painstakingly genetically modified and selectively bred to survive in a highly oxygenated, extremely low pressure, cold as hell environment) is practically biting at the hooks (that aren’t really hooks) already.

    Summary

    Adrian and Grace delve into a cave to go searching for Eridian insects. Rocky tags along as their unenthused lab tech.

    Or

    Rocky is not, as Grace calls it, a “scaredy cat”. All his fears and reservations are completely justified and rational, thank you very much. It’s just- Rocky loves his mate (and their stupid soggy human) with his whole five hearts but for the love of Eridani why can’t they be into normal things?

    Summary

    I tore my gaze away from the laptop to look at Rocky. He hadn't moved an inch in the last few hours, as expected. Still sprawled against the tunnel wall where he'd collapsed as physically close to me as he could ever be.

    Some Eridians preferred privacy when they had their “periods,” and Rocky clearly wasn't one of them.

    Summary

    It is said that a frog placed in cold water will remain unaware as the water temperature is gradually increased, placidly carrying on as normal as its doom approaches.

    Summary

    "Grace." Another poke. "Grace, wake up."
    "Mgh," Grace responds, and tries to hide in his blankets. Rocky keeps poking him.
    "Have surprise for Grace. Get up get up get up."

    OR: towards the end of the journey to Erid, Grace has to severely ration his food. Naturally, he's pretty miserable. Rocky takes it upon himself to fix this.

    Summary

    While studying the astrophage in the dingy, hollow hangar, Grace coughs. And a cough isn't supposed to trigger a full-scale quarantine, but Stratt disagrees.

    Grace is pretty sure everyone is overreacting. After all, it's a cough. A cold? The sniffles, at worst. It's nothing to freak out about and it surely doesn't warrant this type of shutdown, right?

    He is, unfortunately, wrong about that.

    Summary

    "No," Rocky said later. "Rocky not lie for the history books. If Grace kill self doing stupid shit like this, Rocky make sure everybody Erid know. Rocky build probe to send to Earth to tell all humanity: Dr Grace die from stupid preventable accident. Grace save Earth but turn out too stupid to live. Sad sad sad. Wait, if Grace die like this, Rocky WILL lie and tell everybody he die on toilet like Elvis. Earth will put this on Grace Wikipedia forever, because Grace not around to correct Rocky."

    “Okay,” I said. “I think I’m… appropriately embarrassed already.”

    Summary

    Ryland Grace loves nothing more then coffee. It is the nectar of the Gods, and there is nothing that can compare (aside from Skittles - obviously). Grace knows he isn't the only one on the god forsaken crew that loves coffee, but over the past couple of years working for Stratt, he has developed a co-dependency. Allegedly.

    No, he is not upset that the coffee machines are currently being repaired and he hasn't had coffee in over 24 hours. No, he isn't absolutely done with everything and everyone in this god damn room that just won't shut up. Bite him. He just wants coffee. And he refuses to have energy drinks. It is one hundred percent not the same!

    --------

    Or, Grace is done. He is sleep deprived, hasn't had coffee and everyone is being too dang loud.

    Summary

    “Ouchhh.” I moan, still holding my belly, “Whyyyy?”

    The familiar clunky sound of Rocky’s footsteps in his xenonite suit grow steadily nearer as he scuttles over. I must’ve alerted him with my griping and groaning. So much for not being a bother. 

    He stops near the foot of my bed. 

    “Rocky heard Grace make noise.” 

    “Sorry about that,” I say, voice muffled.

    “No apology, Grace.” He scolds, “Am worried, not bothered. What is wrong, question?”

    “My tummy hurts.” I say matter-of-factly into my pillow, “And I’m being a big baby about it.”

    ///

    Grace hasn’t had someone to take care of him when he’s sick in a long, long while. Having forgotten that he’s lactose intolerant, he’s now battling an upset stomach, which Rocky is determined to soothe. Grace finds that Rocky’s help may be exactly what he needed.

    "You appear to be experiencing a migraine."

    Great. Hypothesis proven. Still sucks.

    “Probable cause is recently-diagnosed concussion,” Mary continues. “The relative length of your recovery window may be indicative of post-concussion syndrome.”

    Huh.

    ...

    Grace (and Rocky) discover the consequences of head injuries.

    Summary

    So, Rocky promised to do fewer late-at-night-while-Grace-is-asleep Wikipedia spirals, and I promised to write up some procedures for Rocky to follow in the event of various medical emergencies. I wasn't a medical doctor, but I was closer to it than Rocky, so I got to do a few Wikipedia spirals of my own, writing up a manual on how Rocky might plausibly remove my appendix or restart my heart if it stopped. I found the process strangely soothing, thinking about how Rocky would care for me if I needed him to, how Rocky always wanted to care for me. Putting my life in his hands was nothing new, really, but it was funny how often I ended up happy-crying while writing up a Rocky-friendly explanation of an endoscopy or a tracheostomy or a limb amputation. Because all I could think was how much I trusted him, how he made me feel so safe.

    Rocky memorized every word that I wrote, and made his own notes as well. The How to Fix Grace binder, as I labelled it, grew thicker and thicker as we made plans to look after my soft human body.

    So, after all that, of course it was Rocky who got sick.
