    Summary

    “Did Simon forget that I am much larger? And stronger?” Adrian asks in a hair raising tone, the claw of their limb bumping Simon’s chest testily like a human tapping a foot.

    Simon’s eyes are huge.

    Blown out wide with the man’s shock.

    Second by second, their face flushes until its so dark it teeters on being purple. He could tease about how strongly Simon reacted to this display of strength but…

    He’s no better.

    He can’t remember the last time his face has been this hot.

    (or: peeks into the daily happenings of Grace's life on Erid with his new family)

    Summary

    I don’t need all my memories back to know that home is wherever I’m with Rocky. I knew that when I turned around for him. Maybe I even knew it when we said goodbye for the first (and last) time.

    Summary

    Grace doesn't have an exact timeline of his decline, but he does remember being only four months out when he finally notices. His nails are brittle and breaking, his eyes have been gaunt for a while. He's the thinnest he's ever been in his life and just carrying equipment around the lab is starting to wind him. He's able to ignore it for a good while. To smile too widely at Rocky and distract him with the newest game or movie to watch.

    Grace is in the lab when it happens. When he's finally forced to face the facts. Looking back, he'll call himself vain for that very moment being the turning point. He's doing his routine checks in the morning in between gulps of Taumoeba slurry. He runs his hands through his hair. it's a mindless action, one he does without realizing most days. When his fingers fall away, a chunk of hair follows. Like his nails, his hair has gotten brittle and prone to breaking. It hasn't just fallen out before. Not in such a large quantity or all a once.

    Ryland Grace is dying.

    The trip back to Erid isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Grace faces his mortality.

    Summary

    “You admit you liked Rocky watching,” he says, the vibrations of his voice low enough to feel through the barrier. I place my hand against it to feel them better. “Let Rocky watch again. Let Rocky help.”

    “How?” I find myself asking, my voice hesitant. “How are you going to help?”

    Rocky purrs, the sound making goosebumps rise on my arms, a shiver running down my spine.

    “Does Grace trust Rocky?”

    “Yes.”

    Or:

    Grace and Rocky finally come to terms with their relationship

    “So Liesel tells me El’s on a warpath,” Alfie said leadingly, and Orion sighed.
