    Summary

    On the trip to Erid, Grace decides to introduce Rocky to the concept of musicals - and decides to perform one for him.

    Un(?)fortunately, what Grace wasn't aware of was that this was a very important Eridian courting custom.

    Or, in short: Grace basically just asked Rocky out, and he has no idea. Rocky attempts to return the gesture, but for some reason his leaky alien friend isn't picking up on any of his efforts. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    “Grace and Grace-Friend bonding, question?” Rocky’s musical hum began, catching Grace’s attention. Grace blinked at the alien. Rocky had never referred to himself in the third person as anything other than, well, Rocky.
    “Aw, yeah, we are bonding, Rocky,” Grace smiled, but the Eridian huffed and stomped in frustration.
    “No. Grace stupid. Grace Rocky not bonding. Grace bonding with Friend. Rocky and Friend not bonding.” Grace and Friend?
    “Alright, you’re freakin’ me out here. It’s just you and me, pal. Are you sick, Rock?”
    Rocky hissed steam and hit the ground again, pacing around in his ball. “No! Rocky perfect! Grace stupid, stupid, stupid! Is Grace sick, question? Grace cannot hear friend, question?”
    “Hey, hey, let’s calm down. I can’t hear like you, remember?” Grace reminded, “I can’t see our friend. Do you mind pointing him out for me, pal?”
    Rocky tumbled closer in his ball and came to a stop in front of Grace’s legs, pointing a claw at the glass. “There. On back of Grace shirt.”
    A horrible, dripping feeling of dread fell down Grace’s spine.

    Or,
    There is a spider on the ship.

    Summary

    She's been staring at the footage for over an hour today, the chase playing on a loop as it had in the days since it happened, Grace's bright yellow jacket a beacon in the blurs of gray buildings, black coats, and dull green grass. She stares at it for so long that it becomes the only thing she sees in her dreams anymore.

    She meant to delete it. She meant to put it behind her and focus on the mission, focus on the Astrophage, focus on putting her betrayal so far back in her mind that she could continue living with her choices.

    The videos are archived onto the Hail Mary instead.

    Eva Stratt will never know.

    Summary

    Grace is sick. He doesn't want to admit it. He doesn't want to be a burden. So he hides it and tells himself he just needs to finish one more tablet.

    But Simon has spent months learning to read Grace the way Grace read him. And when Simon finds Grace's abandoned thermal blanket and follows the trail of sniffles to a shivering, feverish scientist who can't stop apologizing for feeling things.

    "I've got you" Simon says, pulling Grace into his arms.

     

    Or:

    The one where Grace got sick and cries a lot and Simon is an overprotective heating pad.
