    Summary

    “What? What? What?” Grace stared at Rocky, eyes wide, before a hand flew to his face, fingers pinching at the bridge of his nose. “Sorry, what?”

    “Adrian is loving mate,” Rocky hummed. “Adrian curious about you.”

    Or: Adrian courting Grace (and it goes very well very quickly)

    Summary

    Rocky, my best friend in the universe, doesn’t know that his mate is a fraud. A coward.

    "A coward, and full of shit." Stratt’s voice echoes through my head, flooding my veins with an icy chill. I never volunteered for the mission. I never even wanted to try. The survival of the planet depended on me, billions of lives, an infinite amount of flora and fauna, all potentially doomed because of me. Would have been doomed, if Stratt hadn’t drugged me and thrown me on the ship herself. Oh God.

    And now I’ve doomed Rocky.

    I stumble to my feet, tripping over him as he follows me, squawking in Eridian faster than my tiny, useless human brain can keep up with right now. I can’t let him touch me, I don’t deserve it. I’ve doomed him to a life where his soulmate is a liar and a useless waste of carbon. I feel like the biggest failure and also as small and miniscule as a speck of dust.

    Coward.
    Coward.
    Coward.

    I do the only thing I can think of at this moment, I need to get away from Rocky before I poison him further. He already almost died saving me once, I won’t risk him sacrificing more of his life for me. And so I run, again.

    Summary

    He has Rocky make a couple thousand metres of Xenonite string. It is taking a few tries for Rocky to get the right level of thickness, stretchiness, softness. The yarn takes a lot longer to perfect than the needles, which Grace received ages ago. Yarn has energy, the twist using kinetic energy to create its very structure, Grace knows, from using it as a teaching method in his classroom. Rocky tells him that one of his siblings (lit. clutchmates) was a fabric fabricator, his claws waving as he tells story after story, suddenly opening up now that Erid seems a possibility - for Rocky, anyway.

     

    Grace takes apart one of Ilyukhina’s sweaters and practices his stitches.

    It passes the time.

    Summary

    Grace's cheeks flushed red. In all honesty, he'd completely forgotten why they had come all this way in the first place. His head tilted sideways towards his backpack. It was packed full of supplies: lubricant, blankets, water, and a few snacks just in case. Maybe more junk too.

    Simon stared at the side of Grace's face expectantly, adding, "Only if you still want to, though. I'm just fine with watching the ocean too."

    He did want to, of course. How long had it been since Grace had actually had sex with someone else?

    Answer 1. Well over two decades.

    Answer 2. His entire life, if only other men counted.

    Answer 3. About 12 hours, if jacking himself off while Simon half-drunkenly sexy talked over their communicators last night counted.

    Regardless, his answer was a resounding, "Yeah, I do. Just don't mess me up too badly, okay?"

    Or: On a warm day on Erid's beach, Ryland Grace gets dicked down by Simon. Mutated edition.
