    Summary

    Grace misses touch.
    He would be perfectly fine never having it again except for the fact that the last human hands he felt were holding his face in the dirt while he screamed.
    Meanwhile, Rocky is growing agitated-- it is almost his molting cycle, and he has concerns about building a new shell.

    -------------

    Grace thinks it's just coincidence or proximity when Rocky asks him to decorate pieces of the new carapace, or when the pieces he holds don't crumble in his atmosphere. Or when the hand that presses against the xenonite paneling during testing looks incredibly, insanely human.
    It's just him projecting. Rocky wouldn't want that.
    Right?

    Summary

    Just another standard, run-of-the-mill totally normal "Grace and Rocky find a weird tin can with a person (????) inside" fic that's just a thinly veiled excuse to write Simon choking out Grace

    Summary

    The Hail Mary was a familiar situation. A small vessel, limited resources, skeleton crew. Grace had excess because it was supposed to be a three person team, but that didn't automatically mean it was available for Simon to use. Taking what they were saying at face value, that he didn't have to fulfill a particular role in order to benefit from the onboard resources, it was difficult. It was like trying to imagine the smell of fresh air. He knew it existed, but he had no way to know what it was like.

    Existing and taking up space on a cramped ship wasn't anything new to Simon. He had lived on his fair share of space fairing vessels and stationary structures, by himself or with others for different lengths of time. Each time, he had a job. Each time, he was expected to contribute to the crew or be considered a waste of resources. There wasn't enough of anything left to give to someone that wasn't useful. A small, angry voice inside his head screamed at him to be useful.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    Grace has come to terms with the fact that he will never see another human or Earth again. And that's okay, because he's happy on Erid with Rocky and Adrian. However, with the Hail Mary in mint condition, the Eridians propose that he travels to a red moon in a planetary system with a dead sun, along with Adrian and Rocky, to determine just why it's so...weird. The answer's no. Obviously.

    Until they hear a human distress signal coming from that exact moon, and suddenly everything changes.
