    Summary

    "Now that Simon isn’t unconscious, bedridden, nor tripping over his own feet, he feels useless. Ryland and Rocky are giving him everything he needs to keep him alive, even studying his body in the hopes of figuring out what the hell happened to him, how he got here, how he’s alive. Meanwhile, Simon is sitting around. Useless. Feeling guilty. Like he owes Ryland somehow."

    OR: Simon feels guilty for "taking up room" on the Hail Mary on the way to Erid, so he asks Grace how he can help out on the ship in an attempt to make himself feel better. Grace and Rocky remind him that not only does he deserve to be there, but that they're very happy to have him.

    Summary

    That is how it starts. 

    My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.

    But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes? 

    That means war.

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

    A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

    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.
