    Summary

    Before Grace could say anything further, the other man is already taking his shirt off. He fixes his hair after he drops the shirt on the floor, wearing nothing but a harness (for some reason) and…

    Something on his catches the bright fluorescent lights, shining. It makes Grace’s mouth go dry.

    Simon Fisher has nipple piercings.

    Grace is VERY normal about his coworker's piercings. (Engineer!Simon working on PHM AU)

    Summary

    There was nothing, nothing in this whole, entirely vast universe, as perfect as Ryland Grace’s mouth.

    Simon knew himself to be good for close to nothing.
    But one thing he'd always excelled at was the act of worship.
    He’d long said goodbye to purpose as he’d known it.
    If his new direction in life, his singular, daily task was the endless, mindless veneration of his Savior, the adoration of the singular star in his vast, dark sky, he would find comfort in it.
    More than that, he’d find pleasure in it.

    Or about how Simon confesses (sort of) and things take an unexpected turn.

    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    Summary

    Some things are supposed to stay private.

    For Eridians, heartbeats are not one of them.

    Rocky has data on Grace. Months of it. And the results are... significant.

    Ryland Grace really should stop being in love with his alien best friend. Unless he's prepared to have the worst — and best — time of his life.

    ~~~

    "Rocky analyze Grace heartbeat. Have months of data. The results are significant. Heart abnormalities correlate with Rocky interactions."

    I groan. Of course he analyzed my heart data! I'm not talking my way out of this. How could I, when it's my heart he can hear?

    "Extra information: Grace heart rate up by 18% when Rocky close."

    ~~~

    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.
