    Summary

    Blood rushes past Grace’s ears, and he can hear the steady thrum of his own pulse coming from somewhere in his head. His cheeks burn.
    This introduction was especially not going how he thought it would be.

    - - -
    This is a post-canon fic where there's a language barrier between Simon and Grace! Takes place after Grace and Rocky have made it to Erid and Simon has been dumped in the blood ocean. Lots of angst and eventually even more comfort.
    Chapters and tags updated semi-regularly :)

    Summary

    Ever since they dragged this man aboard, Grace has felt slightly insane. He hasn’t been able to function fully, always torn between his duties to Rocky and his apparent duties of watching over The Stranger
    Grace spends a majority of the day he doesn’t feel needed in the lab sitting in the med bay, watching Armando as it whirs away to keep the Stranger stable. He knows Rocky is probably worried about him, or even a bit hurt because of his newly divided attention, but he also trusts that Rocky understands. After all, this is the first time he’s seen someone of his own species in… a very very long time.
    Rocky has a whole planet to come home to. A mate. A life where he will be regarded as a hero, just like Stratt promised Grace would be.
    Grace has one unconscious man

    Summary

    I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.

    There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.

    That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.

    Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.

    Summary

    ART sent me, I said.

    I know.

    You changed your routine.

    ART doesn't like that, he replied.

    It didn't. ART was a machine intelligence. To it, humans (and constructs) were unpredictable. It meant it in a nice way. In a protective way. I knew that now.

    It was worried about you, I sent.

    I know that too.

    I sighed, and let Ship feel it. Felt an answering well of apology twist its way through our colours. I had a bad dream, he sent.
