    Summary

    Changed or not, five limbs or four, she had a mission to do. Billions of people were counting on her, trillions of life forms. So long as she had breath in this fucked up body of hers, she would not rest until she saved the Earth or died trying. And then died after. Only heroes got the heroin overdose.

    Or

    Ilyukhina and Yáo were not buried in space, but on Erid, along with the crew of the Blip-A. For reasons beyond their understanding, they both wake back up, but something is seriously wrong with them. And why isn't Grace among them?

    Summary

    “I’m fine.” I swallow. My mouth is dry and my tongue feels too big for my mouth. “Just… stay with me?”

    Rocky presses a claw against the xenonite, just below my fingers. “Yes. I will watch you sleep."

     

    (OR: After Grace remembers how he came to be on the Hail Mary, he’s plagued with nightmares. Weak and sick from vitamin- deficiency after running out of coma-slurry, the nightmares reach a new fever pitch.)

    “We call this ♪♫.”

    “The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.

    And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, his gaze follows me very, very slowly.

    “What?” I ask.

    “Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.

    “It’s a rock.”

    He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.

    “Grace,” Rocky says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”

    Summary

    Carl shifts. "There's something we want your input on." For a split second he looks almost uncomfortable. Good, Grace thinks vindictively, but whatever joy he gets from seeing Carl briefly flustered disappears with the next words out of his once-friend's mouth. "It concerns the manner of death."

    And suddenly Grace remembers all too clearly a time not too long ago, one of the most awkward and unpleasant moments of his life, sat down with Commander Yáo and Ilyukhina and DuBois, asking them how they would like to die.

    ***

    Carl pays Grace a visit in his cell the day before the launch of the Hail Mary.

    Summary

    Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.

    "I've got it reversed," Grace decides.

    I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.

    "Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."

    Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.

    "This is actually a second cousin," It says.

    I decide not to ask.

    Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

    "Rocky worry worry worry."

    "You don't need to worry, Rock," Grace insists with a smile and a gentle three-beat tap against Rocky's ball. "You just need to heal. Grace worry worry worry."

    (After the fishing mission, Grace and Rocky are both worse for wear. Grace breaks a rib. His lungs don't like that.)

    Summary

    Ryland gripped the wall. “What do—what do we do? What are we supposed to be doing?” His voice didn’t quite teeter into panic, but it was a very near ‘almost’. His voice cracked slightly in the middle. 

    “Not much,” Ilyukhina told him, smiling, but her eyes were sweeping him up and down. “Nothing to do. Hold onto something and get ready for a ride.”

     

    “I don’t think I got training,” Ryland warbled, realizing.

    AKA: Yáo is trying to keep things running smoothly as half his crew deals with complete amnesia. Ilyukhina plays referee. Grace does not handle 0g well.

    Summary

    Simon is more convinced that this is hell. He will be forced to relive his last moments alive for eternity, his blood wasted to slick the throat of the eel. He will be chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed, chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed for infinity. He tries to exercise some will in this cycle by falling back into unconsciousness. After all, he figures, if this truly is his punishment, some devil will ensure he’s awake to feel his death.

    It is not a devil who wakes him. His eyes open to see a light lift him from the blood, pull him from the grasping hands of the damned.

    “Angel?”

    The angel does not respond.

    ------------------------

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace encounter some weird blips. They've been watching Scooby-Doo and are getting a bit bored so might as well do some sleuthing of their own, right? Who knows, could be someone else trying to fix the Astrophage problem. And it's on the way! How convenient! They aren't prepared to find another human, who is living a blood soaked submarine. In space.

    Summary

    The nightmares were getting worse, and started to feel too real. Part of him longed to talk about them, but with who? Grace was the most obvious choice but he carried so much weight on his shoulders already, that he couldn’t add to his load. Even if the man would take on the extra pressure with a smile. He really was an angel, so willing to give every part of himself to anyone who needed some grace.

    Summary

    Rocky didn’t understand it- of course, how could he? As much time as he spent with Grace, humans were complicated. Their emotions especially so.

    And Rocky had only ever interacted directly with one human, after all.

    But... Grace wasn't happy.

    They'd found another human!

    “Why Grace scared? Question,” Rocky chirped, confused. “New human friend for Grace- thought Grace would be happy.”

    Swallowing, feeling a lump in his throat, Grace pushed himself back up to stand. “Sorry,” he said again, smiling bitterly. “I guess I should be happy, but… I’m just thinking of all the reasons Earth would send more humans out into space- and most of them aren’t good ones.”
