    Summary

    She turned around to him. Standing there in a lab coat and another ugly T-shirt, he was in a similar state to her, apparently—shifting from foot to foot, unable to keep still; his hair stuck up in all directions, as if he'd been running his hands through it (and she stubbornly ignored the awful urge in her to reach out and fix it—it was a symptom of the last few days, nothing more); he wrung his hands together and avoided meeting her eye. God, what was up with him?

    Grace has some bad news for Stratt. It doesn't go down well.

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    “We have known each other for quite some time now,” she sighs, her eyes briefly flicking over to Gideon before returning to her hands. Her eyes feel like a spotlight left on too long, slow roasting whatever lay in their path. “You may have gotten the impression that I can’t stand you, but that is the furthest thing from the truth.”

    Gideon snorts. Harrow’s dour expression contorts into a sneer. “Do not flatter yourself. I still find you hardly more of worth than swine, but- you're something. One of the only people I talk to, if I'm being honest. One of the only worth the effort. I look at people, and I see...” Her gaze drifts over to the window. Her voice has taken on a jaded edge, the serrated blade of bitterness.  “Meat. Sacks of organs.

    i have a feeling this may be spoiler-y for Harrow the Ninth so i'm putting off reading it but i couldn't just scroll past. not with that beauty of a title.
