    Summary

    Gideon tries not to think too much these days. She wants to focus on fighting this war, not the weird side effects of perfect Lyctorhood or the fact that Harrow can barely seem to be in the same room with her or that everyone keeps treating her like a bomb about to go off. It's going pretty well, if you ask her. Until she gets herself hurt protecting her useless necro, again, and Harrow's reaction does not fill her with warm, fuzzy feelings.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace kept his joint pain a secret for more than a decade from almost everyone. But his jaw is out of place now, and he's hurtling towards a planet with twice the gravity he's used to, and trouble is on it's way.

    “Rocky, you know I wear special clothes sometimes.”
    “Yes, culture.”
    “They’re not cultural. I have something wrong with my joints. So I hurt all of the time, and sometimes my joints pop out of place.”
    Rocky’s full attention was on me, his hands even still for once. “When Grace wear special clothes, you hurt. You hurt today. But you no hurt for reason.”

    Book and film canon variable, leaning more to book canon but sharing both based on what I felt like. Spoilers for everything.

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.

    OR

    Grace receives an unexpected visitor one night in his home on Erid.
