Summary
Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

Summary
Within the tight quarters of the Hail Mary, misunderstandings, arguments, and accidents are bound to happen. It's especially unfortunate when all three happen at once.

Faithful (should I go on with no further trace of you?) by pleniluneheron

Summary
Rocky had fallen in love with Grace long ago. There were many reasons, even now, not to act on this love. Telling Grace would likely make it uncomfortable and add stress to its already very stressful short life. Their journey to Erid would last under four Earth years, which is practically nothing in the grand scheme of things. Rocky would soon be reunited with all his friends and family, and of course, his lovely bond mate.
All this to say, it would be an unspeakably stupid, selfish, illogical decision to approach Grace romantically. A decision Rocky knows he would regret for the remaining 300 years of his life. He knows he will regret it, and so he makes peace with keeping it to himself. He loves being Grace’s dearest friend. That’s plenty enough to quiet the voices in his head.
One day, while watching Grace sleep, he learns that Grace reciprocates his feelings.

Summary
“Grace bad.”
In his dreams, Rocky says it. Grace agrees with him.
An AU where Grace didn’t turn the ship around.
