    Summary

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."

    "No robot," Rocky promises.

    (Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)

    Summary

    “For the first time in my life, I have something, someone to live for,” Grace huffed out shakily. “And I can’t even keep her alive.”

    “You were never given a chance to,” Amelia reminded him. “They decided your life for you. I’m sorry, Grace. You deserve so much better.”

    He shuddered. “You should have the rest of your life ahead of you, sweetheart.”

    “You should, too,” she reminded him. “You should, too, Grace. And the hardest part about all of this for me is knowing that you don’t, either.”

    ***

    OR

    Grace and his co-scientist Amelia had 437 days of food left on the Hail Mary when they first sent the probes back to Earth. Now they have seven.

    Two scientists in love come to terms with what they need to do at the end of the week - they just don't want to do it.
