    Summary

    "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

    Awareness drifts back to him in fragments. One of the first things he identifies is that he hurts—his arms and legs ache something fierce, his brain throbbing in his skull. His whole body is sore, as though he’d just finished running a marathon. Which…which he wouldn’t know, actually. He’s only ever managed a 5k at best—there’d been a walkathon fundraiser at Grover Cleveland Middle, years ago. He’s not much of a runner, more of a biker, and not by choice.

    His eyes flutter open, then, almost of their own accord. Everything’s blurry and far-away, as though he’s squinting through a tunnel to see it. His glasses are gone. He’s horizontal, sprawled out with his legs twisted awkwardly underneath him, lying on what feels like the floor. It’s cold and hard and presses uncomfortably against the side of his face. Something lukewarm and wet has pooled against his cheek, gathered around the corner of his mouth.

    What…?

    Summary

    While on the way to Erid, Grace gets what he believes is food poisoning. He chalks it up to Earth being in such a rush to let the Hail Mary set sail. Even if the quality of food seems like a /particularly/ important factor in the health of the astronauts that will end up saving their species. But who is he to say? He’s not that kind of doctor.

    After all, it’s nothing he can’t handle, even with Armando spontaneously out of commission. A little bit of an upset stomach never killed anyone.

    Although, this is an /exceptionally/ bad case of food poisoning..

    OR

    Grace's shitty human biology almost kills him, and Rocky has to save the day. They eventually end up dumping their hearts out to each other. I dunno, don’t ask me!

    Summary

    Having a panic attack is no fun. Getting stabbed through the stomach by a rogue pipe also isn't very fun, either, in Grace's opinion, and yet here he is. Pinned down, freaking out, unable to think or breathe with the past catching up.

    Through it all, though, Rocky won't leave his side.

    Summary

    Rocky doesn't let me work if I'm on painkillers. He's kind of right not to, they make me stupid, really stupid, slow and dumb. It's been over a week that I haven't taken any, and I've gotten used to it okay.

    Summary

    Why would Grace be so scared to admit that he needs help? On Erid, when someone somehow falls sick, the entire family gathers to take care of them. Was that not customary on Earth? Rocky could hardly stomach the thought… humans suffering, cold and alone, with no one to comfort them…

    OR: Ryland Grace gets a nasty cough when the Hail Mary is only about halfway to Erid. Rocky doesn’t know what to do, or how to help, until it might be too late.

    Summary

    On the journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss their respective alien biologies and Rocky learns that a lot of humans don't make it to the average 80 year life expectancy.

    Years later, it looks like Rocky is going to learn that lesson again in a more personal way, but not if he has anything to say about it.

    Feat: Grace being susceptible to medical misconceptions aka being a little dumb about human medical science (he’s not that kind of doctor, okay?), old man Grace ignoring pain and injury because he’s used to it, worried Rocky, and a peek at daily life on Erid

    Summary

    ”Have robot arms check you arm before you get Beetles,” Rocky insists. He taps the wall again. ”Been hurting you more since before power outage and arms no change cloth in sleep.”

    “They probably didn’t because of the outage. I’ll have the NannyBot check it before I get ready,” Grace says, absentmindedly rubbing the offending appendage. He’s not exactly surprised that Rocky’s noticed his increased discomfort. He figures it’s because of the lack of painkillers and from spending hours inspecting the fuel lines for Taumoeba contamination, but doesn’t voice it. He knows the Eridian already feels bad about his ammonia burns and pushing him off the pain meds.’

     

    Or: Grace and Rocky run into an unfortunate complication when getting ready to execute their plan to escape planet Adrian.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    Sending a middle-school teacher with epilepsy light-years into deep space without his medication was, in retrospect, a terrible idea.

    Luckily, Rocky is fantastic at detecting them and protecting Grace.

    Or, WLC server thought about the prompt: What if Rocky was like a seizure alert dog for Grace?

    Or or, part one of me putting chronic illness, ailments, and conditions onto Ryland Grace.

    Summary

    The memories were slowly coming back as the duo set course for Erid, but Ryland had mostly made peace with the fact that he may not fully recover all of his history. Until today.

    Turns out, mid-seizure is a really bad time to remember you're epileptic.
