    Summary

    And what will you do, Daniël, if you don't get the things you need?

    Two days deep, something changes. Daan wishes he could say he didn't notice until it was too late, but he has always known.

    (Or: All three of this man's health bars are low, all he wants in the world is a cigarette, and he is so normal right now. Also, he's stuck in this awful moldy apartment complex, and it might've been nice to die somewhere a little less... wet?)

    Summary

    Ragnvaldr was a strong man… Definitely both a warrior and a survivor. Yet, he spoke in that hopeless tone, as if part of him had already died, and he was simply waiting for his body to follow the same fate.

    -

    Cahara and Ragnvaldr share an honest conversation while Moonless and the girl rest.

    Summary

    Daan doesn’t know how he left on the train to Prehevil with not a soul in the world to care about him, but returned with two kids.

    Taking Levi in was an obvious choice. As the only doctor of the group, someone had to oversee Levi during his rehabilitation. The boy had expressed many times that he hated being addicted to heroin, so Daan immediately agreed to help him. Even though he never took the Hippocratic Oath, he still feels obligated to help every life he sees if they need it.

    Marina was less obvious and less necessary. She expressed interest in staying with Levi wherever he went since the two had become friends quickly—likely due to their age and Marina’s kindness—but had nowhere she wanted to return to. Vatican city didn’t feel right, she had said, not with all she knows now. And staying in Prehevil wasn’t even an option anymore. His bleeding heart accepted her right after she pouted at the prospect of finding a new place to live.

    Perhaps he just didn't want to feel lonely anymore.

    Or, the one in which Daan becomes a father and Levi and Marina are better for it.

    Summary

    “I’ll be alright, doktor,” Marina says, shaking her head, starting to trace the wooden knots of the counter with her fingertip. “Really. I can defend myself. But, well…it’s good that you care, I guess. I’ve met too many men who, well…” She shudders, face scrunching in disgust. “Some of them even pretended to be men like you, at first— good men. But not all of them were very good at hiding what they really were.”

    Just like you, old chap. They can see it. They can all see exactly what you are. They’re just waiting for you to realise it.

    Daan, feeling protective, intends to bond with one of the youngest of his fellow contestants. The creature inside his mind encourages a different course of action.

    Summary

    "There's no sound in space. Not after the last of my crewmates died; it was just the ambient noise of our ship ever since. Nothing else. Not for a long, long stretch of time. Quiet is one of the worst things for us. Same as darkness for humans, I suppose. We try to avoid it as much as we can; Eridians, when together, rarely sit in silence. There is always talk or song or at least hums that carry no meaning and rythmic taps. Just to say I am here."

    or; after being away for so long, coming home doesn't go exactly the way Rocky had expected it to.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    One Grace-sleep is not so long.

    It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.

    This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.

    ~~~

    Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

    Summary

    Grace is always asking me about my mate. “What was he was like when he was young? How did you both meet? What does he act like when I’m not around?” Slightly invasive, personal questions, all of which I find myself answering without hesitation.

    I try to hold back my excitement. It becomes rather clear to me that “best friends” must mean something slightly different for humans.

    Summary

    Five times Rocky helps keep Grace warm and one time he doesn’t have to (but does anyway).

    ~

    There’s something warm shoved against him.

    He creaks his eyes open.

    Finds his quilt and Rocky.

    Moves to drape the quilt around his shoulders and press his cheek against the xenonite ball.

    Closes his eyes when he feels Rocky press against the ball too.

    “Grace rest. Grace warm. Rocky here.”

    Summary

    “No, human holiday. Dear beloved sweet mate told pebbles story about Earth holiday in morning because is day of holiday. Pebbles decide to do holiday. No warning, did not know until home arrival,” Adrian said, sounding an ounce frazzled. Which wasn’t common for her. And she was using sarcasm. “Rocky did not say no. Rocky…” They made a series of somewhat affectionate and somewhat exasperated chords. “With pebbles when doing fun learning.”

    Maybe the word she was looking for was indulgent? Or he was a pushover when it came to the kids and 'fun learning'.

    -------

    In which Grace doesn't realize it's October 31st and that matters because Rocky told the pebbles about Halloween. And now they want to go trick-or-treating at their big squishy alien uncle's house. Adrian to the rescue.

    How do you explain sexual arousal to a guy whose species doesn't experience it? Whatever the case, Ryland Grace is definitely not the right person for the job.

    Unfortunately, a hands-on demonstration might be in order.

    Summary

    “What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.

    “Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”

    Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.

    “Yeah,” Grace breathes.

    ~~~

    On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

    Summary

    After the launch of the Hail Mary, Eva Stratt starts seeing ghosts.

    The first time that Eva Stratt sees Ryland’s ghost, she is still one-hundred percent certain that he is alive.

    For a moment, she stops breathing. He’s here, he’s somehow escaped her men, fought his way out of her death sentence. Exuberant joy sneaks its way up her spine for just a moment before her mind takes over again, before fear settles in her throat like a stone.

    If he’s here, then the planet—this precious, singular Earth—will be dead.

    Summary

    Going back to save Rocky is, funnily enough, one of the easiest decisions Ryland Grace has ever made. However, once Rocky is aboard and tells him how grateful he is for Grace's sacrifice, Grace is blindsided by a feeling he hadn't expected.

    Guilt.
