   Summary

   “What’s the matter? Am I too leaky for you?” he teases. “You’re lucky I can’t come in there and give you a biiiig kith-“

   He smashes his lips grotesquely against the xenonite, ignoring the flicker in his heart when he does it. He’s just having a weird morning, he thinks to himself, and he’s still a little hormone-y and sensitive, and it’ll pass with the next star system they fly through.

   ...

   A year and a half into their journey to Erid, Grace's PTSD worsens as he tries to make peace with his imminent death, and Rocky has a revelation that could complicate things.
