    Summary

    Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.

    “Can you…help me with something?”

    ---

    Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.

    Summary

    Eventually, Simon opens his eyes.

    He was drowning, he's pretty sure – but this isn't the first time his brain has been fucked with since he allowed himself to be welded into this death-tube. At least this time, he's not vomiting up blood on the floor of the sub.

    He's not sure where he is, though. It looks like the inside of the sub, still, but everything is tinged red and his vision's a bit wobbly, like he's peering through water. He's sprawled on the floor with his back against the camera controls, and the navigation panel is obscured by something that looks like a thicket of branches that wavers in his unsteady view.

    Also, there's a dog sitting on the floor in front of him.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    Broken body. Broken mind. Radiation. Trauma. Psychosis. Broken body. Broken mind. Radiation. Trauma. Psychosis.

    No cosmic purpose lurks behind every scar, and no celestial hand guides the chaos rattling around inside his skull.

    Simon's brain is just… injured; his nervous system is just damaged. The strange sensations, the voices, the distortions, the flare-ups, and the impossible certainties all stem from a body that failed to heal completely.

    That is all.

     

    Or: Simon, safe on Erid, tries desperately to avoid falling into another episode

    Summary

    Eridians have recreated more of Earth than Grace could have imagined. Waves, trees, flowers — Grace is grateful for all of it. Simon feels the same, even if he doesn’t say as much. Grace can tell from how curious Simon has become.

    Answering his questions about plant life was a breakthrough for their relationship. So, as long as Simon wants to know something, Grace is willing to teach him about it. It's just that giving a lesson on this particular flower isn't quite like what Grace is used to teaching about. After all, it's not like he'd have ever brought up marijuana in the classroom.

    Summary

    It's their own private joke. Their little hush-hush. A mutually assured, closely kept secret: Those censors are thrilling.

    They've played with the settings. My, oh, my, how they've played. Off again, on again, a little slip of Mettaton's fingers on that switch to cut him off just long enough to hear that strangled yelp and bring him back again.

    The tricky thing is, they create an absence of. That switch has no advanced settings. No filters. It's all or nothing, which can only take them so far. There's nothing to fight against. They are there, or they aren’t there, and that's all there is to it.

    It just won't do.

    Mettaton wants him straining.

    Summary

    “Look how lonely it is, Anthony. Abandoned, begging to be loved.” He sighs dreamily. “I couldn’t love it right. I don’t know how to play.”

     

    Tenna moseys closer and rubs the back of his neck.

     

    “I played for people every now and again, back in my day.”

     

    Metta’s eyebrows fly upwards and his head snaps to look Tenna in the face. This man — this famous, sweet man, free of his red jacket and waistcoat after a long day of incredible hosting, looking all suave with his cig and tie and classy shoes — can also play piano?

    or: tenna’s full of surprises and they’re both over the moon 4 each other

    Summary

    Spamton always wanted freedom, the ability to choose his own path, his own choices. He's gotten that, at a price. But it's better than no freedom at all. Better than being stuck in a tiny cage for decades. You don't need a bunch of strings to be trapped forever, apparently all you need is one goddamn wire.

    --

    In which Tenna's power cord prevents him from ever leaving TV World and Spamton is having a very hard time accepting this. Surely, it's possible to twist fate just a little? Even if just for one day, can't he give Tenna a taste of freedom?

    "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs" was one of the most destructive computer worms ever to have been released onto the internet. It was able to rapidly proliferate by hijacking its victims' email programs, sending copies of itself to everyone in their address books, concealed inside spam emails.

    In other words, Spamton's come down with an intestinal parasite, and he doesn't appreciate its opinions on his love life.

    Summary

    The average CRT Television can hold onto stored electricity for an indeterminate amount of time depending on their make and model. But time moves differently in the dark world. It can take longer for the effects of the light world on the darkner's true form to fully take effect.

    A year after being unplugged, Tenna reminisces on what he misses most, left in a box with his world becoming darker than ever. At least one old codger is still in his corner.

    “Ladies and gentlegerms,” it comes out in a semi-coherent slur, “kindly avert your eyes. The following material is not suitable for a family audience, as this is the part where I get rewarded for my excellent behavior.”

    Tenna and Mettaton have had...-something- going on for a while now. Neither have put a name to it, nor have they pushed the envelope. An empty stage post-award ceremony provides the perfect opportunity to change that.
