    Summary

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover a mysterious box. Upon opening it, the two discover some strange changes. Well, perhaps way more than strange.

    Rocky finds a new marking on his arm similar to Grace's scar, and Grace finds markings similar to Rocky's on his arms and legs.

    Rocky begins to dream and can easily wake from sleep, and Grace can stay up for much longer than a normal human should.

    Grace starts seeing sound when it's too dark to properly see, and Rocky starts seeing pops of colour in his sound vision.

    Neither can understand what's happening to them and how they're seemingly linked together, but they know there's nothing in the world that could tear them apart.

    (TLDR: This fic will include almost everyone's favourite things! Rocky learns about how Grace got on the Hail Mary (Including Rocky witnessing the memory of Grace being sent on the Hail Mary)! Grace can survive in Rocky's atmosphere! Grace will live as long as Rocky! Rocky and Adrian reuinite and Adrian meets Grace! Grace will get to go back to Earth with Rocky (for a bit and then go back to Erid)! Grace will get to confront and get closure with Stratt! Fanart included!)

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng was named for a river, but even rivers can be defiled.

    He is the heir of Yunmeng Jiang, born to water. Jiang Cheng knows rot when it lives inside his own bones. He is everything a hero must not be: bitter, wrathful, ugly with wanting.

    His hands are bloodied, his voice is too sharp, his body is not his, not really, not after it was made into something else. He is seen as a villain, seen to hate the pariah boy who took everything.

    He does hate him. That is the tragedy.

    But what haunts him more is the story itself: the pages that know his name only as a foil, a cruelty, a cautionary tale.

     

    (In his beginning is his end.)
