Summary
When it came down to it, he would always be too scared to die. He would just trudge on through life as miserable as ever and wishing with everything that some higher power would take him out in a vague, nebulous way that didn't require a hand on his part and also wasn't the looming inevitability of a suicide mission.
So yes, he was a coward.
A coward who has run out of antidepressants.

False Friends by IvyLee

Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an Area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
OR: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
“Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”
“An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.
chat, it was not an anthropologist
or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.

Summary
“Careful, with that kind of language you’re gonna start a space war.”
“I am being kind.” Rocky deadpans, and now I’m really grinning. I’m sure it’s the most shit eating grin I’ve worn in the past few weeks, and my chest feels a little lighter.
“Pfff, you know humans would beat you in a space war anyway.”
“Yes. You would drown us.”
I can’t hold back the laughter that shakes my belly as Rocky sits there with his arms crossed—another habit he’s picked up from me—pretending not to be amused.
The laughter feels warm, it feels earned. Maybe everything will work out. Maybe it was just one bad dream. Maybe I’m not a coward. Maybe it will all be alright.Bang!
The laughter in my throat catches. The lights flicker. An alarm blares from the cockpit.
Ah. Jinxed it.
****
Grace never really had time to process a lot of the memories that returned in the midst of their world-saving mission. Now, with him and Rocky on the long haul back to Erid together, problems are making themselves known.
He's not a coward, and he'll do anything to prove it.

Summary
Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.
Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.

Grace is dying. He's been dying half this trip. There's no point in ignoring it, though he and Rocky try to anyway. One particularly bad day, he finds he can't shake the thought of Yao's gun, hidden away down in storage and calling to him.

Summary
There are times when Sonic feels empty. There are times when he cannot speak. There are times when everything feels as if it takes too much energy, and when he doubts what the point of doing it. Even more than running, he finds himself napping a lot to escape 'now' and get closer to a 'better tomorrow.'
He's handling it. He's not doing much else.

Summary
Shadow's dying. He can feel it in the ache of his bones, the pull of his tendons. His blood runs black, his wounds weep, his head pounds like the beat of a drum. It's getting too much. His body is betraying him.
He watches the odd family that has surrounded him and realizes he can't say goodbye. Not in words.

Summary
"And there's already so little you can keep, when you're [in a place] like this. Your possessions aren't yours. Whatever events happen to you aren't yours.
All that's left is you."
- Quote from In Stars And Time, regarding suicide in a time loop.
She can't sleep, because she can't stop thinking about it. The gun. How it felt. Her finger on the trigger, the bullet in her head. Her body on the floor.
She wouldn't do it again. She doesn't have a gun to do it with, anyway. It still... sticks. The idea. Like, she can't stay dead—what's the harm in, say, snapping her neck right now, just to see what it's like?
(A look at why killing yourself in a place you can't die is still bad, and a dive into where it leads and what it means.)Series

Summary
“You’re bleeding out!” was her astute assessment, Jax’s ears starting to ring,“I’m pretty sure you lost half your blood between here and the door we crashed through and I don’t know where the others are, I don’t know where Caine is and I don’t know what to do!”
She accentuated her point with a censored curse at the new wave of liquid bubbling through his abdomen.
“And you say it’s ‘Not that bad’???”
“I’m just dying, it’s fine.”
An adventure goes a bit wrong and Pomni forgets for a small second that death is not a thing in the Digital Circus.
