    Rocky promised to keep watch.
    The universe, it turns out, was listening.

    or "Statistical Fallacy (N=1)
    or "Mimicking you Mimicking Me"
    or "oopsie doopsie absolutely nobody here is a trained diplomat lol"

    or the Erid homecoming keeps having more issues arise. Human and Eridian relations are off to a, pardon the pun, rocky start. And Grace doesn't know why, but he is a little paranoid that Rocky somehow did it on purpose.

    Hopefully Earth gets his updated information on communicating with Eridians before they decide to send someone else. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty embarrassing for everyone.

    Summary

    “Grace, question?”

    I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.

    “Yes Rocky?”

    “Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”

    “Ah.”

    Summary

    “How much did you read?”

    “Lot,” Rocky says, and it sounds vaguely like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. “Mary?”

    “Wait, you don’t need-” I try to interrupt him bringing the ship into this (she gets involved in our spars enough as is) but I’m too late.

    “Touch-starvation. Also referred to as touch-hunger. Side-effects include aggressive behaviours, impairment in speech or communication, lowered self-esteem, increasing anxiety, depression, and self-injurious activities-”

    “Okay!” I clap my hands, cutting her off. “Thank you, Mary, but that’s enough!”

    Summary

    “Maybe ‘cause I’m a fuckup, and I’m- I’m a bad fucking detective, and a bad fucking dad, and a shitty person, okay, Healy? And-”

    Healy’s hand was at his throat, now, just barely applying the faintest hint of pressure with his thumb pressed into his Adam's apple. March’s eyelashes fluttered.

    Healy’s eyes were serious, genuine- “Jus’ start by being good for me, okay?”

    Summary

    Healy rolls his eyes magnificently. He releases one of March’s ankles to massage his forehead like he’s staving off a migraine. “Jesus, what do you think this is, some kind of shitty porno? I’m trying to have a professional conversation, and you’re over here presenting to me! In heat!”

    “What the fuck are you talking about, man,” March squawks. “I’m not in heat. This is self-defense! I’m defending myself!”

    Summary

    “Did you know there’s this weird thing called a lock? And, get this, they signify wanting to be left the fuck alone."

    “That’s funny, real, fuckin’ funny, March,” Healy sneers down at him. “You don’t get that luxury when you can’t even take care of yourself.”

    March furrows his eyebrows, having the gall to look offended. Healy resists the urge to punch him. “What is that supposed to mean?”

     

    Or Healy gets to see what March does when things get bad. Neither are equipped to handle the emotions that come with it, and they're both having a bad time on the bathroom floor.

    Summary

    Stuck without a place to sleep while the club that houses his apartment is remodeled, Jackson finds himself camping out on the March's couch, and then somehow, he migrates to Holland's bed. He blames Holly. But, as they're working opposite shifts on a stake-out case, it's not like Holland is using it at the same time. And then he's got more things to worry about, like their seemingly simple case taking quite a left turn, not to mention Holland's penchant to make rash decisions... They'll figure out the bed thing later.

    Summary

    “I don’t know how you do it, man.”

    “How I do what?” Jackson’s eyebrows quirk as he stands up, tugging March with him. “Fight?”

    “It’s exhausting,” March nods, and allows himself to be hauled to his feet. They’re standing near enough that their chests brush, and March sways toward Jackson a little when he’s vertical, wobbly with fatigue. “And it hurts.”

    Jackson snorts. “Well, I know how to throw a punch without nearly breaking my goddamn hand, for one thing.”

    Living responsibly was something most adults should’ve conquered by 27. Shouta had always been a bit of a slow learner, but adding a mute child into the mix really made things just that much more difficult.

    Summary

    A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.

     

    Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.

     

    Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

    Summary

    He raises the film reel triumphantly when they look his way, smile widening.

     

    But something was wrong. The smiles on their faces vanished the moment they saw him, replaced by a look of horror. He'd never seen Healy look like that. Did he have something on his face?

    He furrows his brows, looking down briefly over himself. Nope, all normal. His red - no, burgundy - shirt and pants were a little worse for wear, sure, but they weren't that-

     

    Oh.

     

    Hadn't he worn cream colored pants today?

    Summary

    March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.

    Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.

    Summary

    “Wow, this is so… And what happened to those soldiers? Eridians from frontlines? I gather they had some sort of severe case of PTSD then.”

    “They died.”

    “I beg your pardon?”

    This.

    This is clearly some mistake in the translation. Has to be.

    -

    On a long jorney to Erid Grace and Rocky decide to deal with traumatic nature of Eridian's experience in space. They do it with talks, singing, gossiping and dancing.

    I just thought there is a lot of works about Rocky helping Grace to deal with heavy emotional stuff, there should be one where Grace supports his friend also!

    Summary

    Rocky was everywhere in those months. Translating, explaining, checking on Grace between meetings, settling beside him on the beach in the evenings with the comfortable familiarity of someone who had been doing exactly this for years. Which he had. Which was normal. Which was what Grace had.

     

    Then the meetings got longer. Then Rocky started coming to the beach less. Then there were days Grace didn’t see him at all, just received a brief communication through the translator system — Rocky is in conference, will check on Grace later — and later became the next morning, and the morning after that.

     

    Grace told himself this was fine.

    Summary

    After a minorly life-threatening incident aboard the Hail Mary, Grace can't sleep. Rocky takes the opportunity to indulge their...less than scientific curiosity about their leaky human friend's body. Non-sexual intimacy abounds.

    How fragile this creature is, Rocky realizes. Its endoskeleton is so flimsy, and so far beneath the soft skin it should really be protecting. How easily injured. How malleable. How easily Rocky would be able to crush the tiny blood vessels (“capillaries”) near the surface, leaving marks that remain tender and sore and turn many colors (“bruises”). Humans etch things into their outer skin, sometimes, for decoration or religious reasons. They use tiny needles to embed colored pigments just below the surface, where it remains visible to other humans forever (“tattoos”). Rocky wonders if Grace has any tattoos. Rocky thinks about being embedded underneath Grace’s skin.
