    Summary

    Careful was not a word that Jackson ever associated with his partner; the man wore recklessness like he wore his garishly colored suits. He might show tact and finesse with clients but he barged into conversations with non-paying entities with the grace of a coked-out bull in an underinsured china shop. If he was measuring his words, something was deeply serious to him. The answer meant something to Holland, which meant Jackson couldn’t just ignore it and try to drift back off to sleep.

    “Yeah, yeah.” Jackson grunted, voice rasping. He coughed, rolling over to face Holland after a moment. “What’d you mean?”

    “Does it bother you,” Holland repeated in a slower voice, as if that would clear everything up.

    It didn’t.
    --

    Jackson would be content to either admire his partner or go to sleep, but he cannot seem to do either. Holland is bound and determined to put some doubts to rest. Too bad he can't seem to tell Jackson what they are.

    Summary

    ‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’

    ‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.

    ---

    Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.

    ‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’

    ---

    Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

    Summary

    Distance was not unfamiliar for Grace, physical and emotional, it was like all his life had been living inside a bubble covering him to keep him in his solitude. He didn’t know what to do when that bubble burst against his will, forced to coexist with his best friend the alien, his brother, who he barely talked to anymore, and the quiet stranger that he rescued.

    Or Ryland is sent to space with his twin brother, and he rescues Simon along the way. And Rocky is here too.
    Coltland twins and BloodyMary AU!!
    Title from Noah Kahan's album

    Summary

    “Whoa, wait, back up.” Holland instantly sat up in his seat, grabbing hold of the arm so he could twist round to face Holly. “Klein? As in Janet Klein? Did you fucking punch Janet?!”

    “Mr. March!” Principal Harrison admonished, “Language!”

    Holland gave him an apologetic wince before he looked back at Holly.

    “Holly,” he said, gentler, “Look at me.” He waited until Holly complied with his request. “Honey, did you punch Janet in the face?”

    ——OR——

    Janet runs her mouth, and Holly finds that sometimes, a little violence is very helpful, actually.

    Summary

    “Maybe ‘cause I’m a fuckup, and I’m- I’m a bad fucking detective, and a bad fucking dad, and a shitty person, okay, Healy? And-”

    Healy’s hand was at his throat, now, just barely applying the faintest hint of pressure with his thumb pressed into his Adam's apple. March’s eyelashes fluttered.

    Healy’s eyes were serious, genuine- “Jus’ start by being good for me, okay?”
