Summary
He meant what he said. Saving Rocky and getting him home had been the only thing that mattered. Yes, he wanted to live, but he had accepted it was an unlikely outcome. Having made it this far, he supposes he started to get a little selfish again. He really doesn't want to let Rocky go. But he has to. That was the whole point of all this, wasn't it? Turning around, risking it all, it was to get him home. He is home now. He can be with Adrian again.
It was going to be awful to be alone again. But for Rocky, he'd do it. There isn't anything he wouldn't do for him at this point.
"…I believe," Adrian finally replies, in a low and quiet chime, "there has been some kind of misunderstanding."
OR: Grace thinks Adrian hates him. As it turns out, this is not the case.

Summary
Two survivors try engineering a solution to touch starvation and discover they’re building a way to admit they love each other. Or Big Gay Yearning: the fic
“All this for a hug. You must want it pretty bad, huh.”
It slips out before Grace can stop himself. Rocky stops for a brief second, carapace tilting towards him intently. He wiggles slightly, it’s the ‘I’m watching you’ wiggle, and Grace puts his hands up in defense.
“Hey, you said it!" Grace defends himself, "Rocky Grace same!”
Rocky hums and goes back to work. Grace thinks maybe he got away with it.
“Grace tell Rocky how badly he wants Rocky touch.”
Oh. Grace did not get away with it. Crap.
“What was that?”
“Did Rocky stutter, question?”
Double crap.

Summary
Rocky knew he had been weird last night about the word ‘brave’. Grace had lapped up every other scrap of praise with abandon except that one specific word that made his blood run cold.
Rocky so desperately wants to know what memory is bothering Grace. Grace so desperately wants Rocky to never learn how he was a coward who valued his one life over billions.

Summary
Grace's [esophagus] makes that undulating motion again, rippling through his entire bodily plan. His [coughing] — a forceful expelling of it's air to clear it's passage of irritants — is wetter, this time. Somehow. I tap at the floor restlessly.
On one limb, my own: it is grotesque. Grace has not lied to me about how… plainly, how gross this process is. Surely even more so in person. Even now, my carapace is shivering slightly, buzzing with the need to sub-vocalize. On the other four, if Grace has not lied about that, then it stands to reason that he has not lied about how it will ease his feeling. And if there is anything in this empty, lonely universe I want more than anything, it is for Grace to be okay. To feel better.
OR: Grace gets sick off a bad batch of Taumoeba. Rocky helps him throw up and is very, incredibly normal about the whole thing.

Summary
Grace had joked, occasionally, that they were a liquid and I was a solid, two completely different states of matter; it was a joke because it was an exaggeration, an overstatement. In reality, Grace had bones and teeth, and I had blood and steam, but we both enjoyed the pretense that we were more different than we were. It reminded us that our new friendship was something rare, something strange and special. Grace called themself a blob and called me a hunk of granite (a great insult that I was saving to use again on Erid), or they called themself a water balloon and called me a little mountain, or themself a puddle and me a pile of rocks: and they tilted at me, the human mouth tilt they called a smile, and that tilt always made me think again, lovingly, about the enormous odds against us ever having met.
Stone and water, water and stone. That comparison, even as a joke, never failed to ring a bell deep inside of me. Because I would think about erosion, about the long slow beat of water against rock, and I would think about how the rock was always, in the end, consumed.

Summary
"Grace stupid. Question rhetorical."
His tones are flat. This is exactly why I didn't want to bring it up.
"Look, I—"
"You request me injure you on purpose! For fun!"
OR: Grace and Rocky are both hungry for touches that aren't feather-light and full of caution. It escalates, naturally.
