    Summary

    "What that, question?" Rocky asks instead of answering the question. He's got his light gun thingy pointed at the screens.
    "Hm? You know what the stars are, buddy." Grace doesn't think much of it, but Rocky goes quiet.
    "Have not seen like this before."

    Summary

    Ryland Grace saved Earth, he saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.

    Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.

    But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.

     

    or Grace learning to be an Eridian

    For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
    “Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
    Because, well—
    This might be the last time I ever cried.
    “No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
    “Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
    He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
    “Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
    “Still no understand humor.”

    Summary

    "Come on, show me your masterpiece," Grace said, feeling helplessly charmed. "What's it about?"

    "Is proposal," Rocky said.

    "Oh yeah?" Grace smiled. He stretched his arms up, reaching until his spine popped. Maybe taking a break from his experiments was the right call after all. "Sounds exciting. What are you proposing?"

    "Propose Grace Rocky get married," Rocky said.

    Grace twitched violently, fell sideways off the viewing platform, and banged his elbow hard into DGCR screen six.

     

    Rocky and Grace watch a movie and talk about their friendship. Also they love each other to the ends of the infinite, expanding universe.

    Summary

    Of course, when you see the grown man himself tackle Darkness with sheer brute force and heavy fists, it was only natural to feel a bit put off, especially when Lee Jaheon did it all while looking like half a lizard. But if Soleum were to think about it like... this…?

    Beneath his hand, under the drag of a dull-sharpened pencil, a tiny lizard comically struck a pose—almost heroic, a tiny action hero in reptilian form, throwing its fist out in powerfully cute glory. The sight was comical indeed. Lee Jaheon was a formidable and frankly terrifying person, but he was reliable, and when illustrated in such a way—

    A small huff of laughter inadvertently escaped Kim Soleum.

    Kim Soleum can’t get over the image in his head. A certain lizard image. (The image of his team leader’s head being that of a lizard.)

    He doodles to cope. Some things are truly impossible to ignore.

    (Alternatively: Kim Soleum keeps doodling lizards. Many misunderstandings ensue.)

    Summary

    Adrian knows that everything is solvable if you break it down into the right sequence of steps.

    They just need to make the alien fall in love with Rocky.

    Summary

    He doesn’t think it’s because of the system. Or because of fate, or anything like that. It’s just a truth of the world, that somehow, wherever Shin Jaehyun is, he will find Park Moondae.

    If he was a little more sleep deprived, he might say it’s because in the worlds where he doesn’t—he never lasts very long.

    But he doesn’t say that. It isn’t the time, or the place.

    Park Moondae turns up at Jaehyun's dorm in the middle of the night.

    “We call this ♪♫.”

    “The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.

    And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.

    “What?” I ask.

    “Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.

    “It’s a rock.”

    He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.

    “Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”

    Or: Rocky learns the meaning behind the name Grace gave him.

    Summary

    “Joy does not know Grace,” Rocky grumbles. “Joy thinks Grace is ♩♭ ♬ ♫ ♩! I know Grace— mean is good for Grace.”

    I'm about to argue back, but I'm distracted by Joy's annoyed whistle. “I do not think that!”

    “Wait, what?” I look between them. “Hey, new word. What does Joy think I am?” I address this to Rocky, who is far more likely to tell me if I've just been insulted.

    “Ignore,” Joy says. “Rocky is inaccurate.”

    Summary

    Rocky doesn't know how to feel about birthdays. He knows less what constitutes "good" gift-giving on Earth, or at what point structure becomes art.

    But Grace saved his life. It's only fair he gets a little life back.
