    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    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

    “Big news! Statement.” Rocky chimes brightly.

    “Okaaaay. Lay it on me.”

    “Two things. First thing.” Rocky begins, holding one arm up, “Eridian crew return safe and sound from mission!”

    “That’s great!” He nods.

    Rocky holds up a second arm.

    “Second thing: Eridian crew find strange moon. No landmasses. Consisted entirely of an ocean of blood.”

    “That is...decidedly not great."

    (or: how two humans that have little trust in humanity learn to be comfortably human with one another.)

    Summary

    « I'll start looking after school. » Grace said. « Can you just tell me what these suppressants are supposed to do so I can already think about it?»

    Simon snorted at his question, and Grace looked back at him in surprise.

    « I know you're a beta, but come on. » Simon said as though the teacher had just made a dumb joke.

    This only confused Grace further, leaving him standing still in their kitchen.

    « … I'm a what now? » He said, blinking at Simon.

    ( Or Simon comes from an ABO verse which is not the case for Grace. Now Grace is left with a lot of questions like : what is an omega and what do you do when your roommate is going into heat ?)
