    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.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    “Grace taking long time. Grace okay, question? Need help, question?”

    Of all things Grace didn’t want, he especially didn’t want Rocky’s help.

    “Nope! You don’t need to help–I’m just…” He held his glasses up to inspect them. Well, at least Grace tried to inspect them, but he couldn’t freaking see. “I’m just cleaning up a bit before bed.”

    It wasn’t a complete lie. He had been intending to clean up.

    Grace moved his glasses between his fingers, feeling over what he knew was shattered glass. Great. Perfect.

     

    (Grace breaks his one and only pair of glasses. Naturally, he doesn't tell Rocky this very important information.)

    Summary

    Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
    One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.

    Summary

    One strong arm wrapped around Grace and pulled him into a warm, solid surface as he began to sob. He’d been afraid before, but nothing had scared him as much as realizing he had no choice in the matter.

    “You’re not a coward. Fear doesn’t make you a coward; it makes you human.”

    “Grace not coward. Grace brave. Grace Rocky heroes, statement. And Simon.”

    That elicited a laugh from Grace, which helped him to catch his breath and calm back down.

    “You’re not a coward,” Simon repeated, releasing his grip on Grace before he sat back to see him better. “If that makes you a coward, then that means I’m a coward, and I may be a lot of things, but I know I’m not a coward.”

     

    OR

    Simon has dealt with nightmares his whole life, even before his exploration of AT-5. He knew Grace got them sometimes, too, but he'd never seen him have one before. That is, until he does.

    Summary

    I don't need sleep right now, I need to focus on checking Taumoeba cells to make sure nothing goes horribly wrong with them, I can't let anything bad happen again. Of course my loyal yet traitorous crew mates disagree with me. I ponder over my feelings for Simon as both he and Rocky pester me to waste time with sleep. I cry, but that's a given.

    Summary

    Simon's been on Erid, physically, for 2 months.

    He's been conscious for only a week.

    He doesn't trust Grace or Rocky by any stretch of the word, not even sure he's convinced those are their real names.

    And yet, seeing the usually cheerful, compassionate, and unnervingly trusting scientist so afraid had felt like a cold dead weight in his stomach.

    or

    Some overzealous Eridians(its quite literally a cult) decide to take matters into their own hands regarding their saving grace. All while Simon is still recovering from the blood ocean.

    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.

    PHM_GRACE_RYLAND_9.13.23

    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.

     

    OR Stratt uploaded the cctv footage of Grace running for his life and Simon finds it, forcing Grace to face that dark spot in his memory
