Summary
The axe breaks, but you are still here. Or, maybe Tommy doesn't have to be self-destructive all the time.
Alternatively, I haven't consumed any content related to this fandom in quite literally years, but goddamn if this character isn't a perfect receptacle for my emotions.

Summary
"Rocky is..." Rocky paused. The sound he made was low, the Eridian equivalent of a long exhale, the kind that preceded news that was anything except good. "...not well."
There was no such thing as a safe dose of radiation. No threshold below which you were one hundred percent safe.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.
