    Summary

    "It's the spirit of the thing Rock, we hang out, we shoot the shiz, we play games, we watch movies — y'know, like a sleepover!"

    "How different from normal night, question? Always hang out, Grace always playing game and watching movie. Always watch sleep."
    --
    or
    Ryland Grace proposes a movie night, Rocky grumbles, and the both of them fall into a routine which benefits the both of them - being as physically close to each other as they can possibly manage.

    Summary

    400 years.

    They had been gone for over 400 years.

    Adrian didn't know if Rocky would return but, they held onto hope anyway. But hope can be a heavy thing to bear, especially when those around you held doubts.

    Adrian kept going anyway, even as the memories of the one they love begin to hurt more and more and more. Adrian had almost lost that hope.

    That was until the message came.

    Summary

    Realizing that he never volunteered for a suicide mission was not on Grace’s bingo card. I mean, neither was finding and befriending an alien, but here we are...

    Grace returns to rescue Rocky, and conveniently did not sleep the entire way there. Grace collapses in the hall, which leads to the revelation that he never actually wanted to die in space in the first place.

    Summary

    “It occurs to me, after spending a few weeks with Rocky intermittently in his new suit, that I may have messed up some neural pathways in my brain. Rewired them.

    I can hug Rocky now. I can hold his hand, or pat the top of his carapace, or pester him until he cards his claws through my hair. Pretty much anything I can think of, I can do with him. It’s not without limitations, of course, the suits’s structural support occasionally providing some challenges to work around, but it should be enough.

    Yet, I find myself craving more. Not in frequency, but in intensity. I want to lay arched backwards over him until every vertebra in my spine hurts. I want him to tug the tangles in my hair and scratch at my scalp until I can feel it in the bone of my skull. I want my ribs to creak with every hug. I want more heat than the barrier will let through. To feel it prickle and sear against my skin—just the right side of actually burning. I want to dig my cheek into the jagged edges of him until they imprint on my skin.”
