    Summary

    After a minorly life-threatening incident aboard the Hail Mary, Grace can't sleep. Rocky takes the opportunity to indulge their...less than scientific curiosity about their leaky human friend's body. Non-sexual intimacy abounds.

    How fragile this creature is, Rocky realizes. Its endoskeleton is so flimsy, and so far beneath the soft skin it should really be protecting. How easily injured. How malleable. How easily Rocky would be able to crush the tiny blood vessels (“capillaries”) near the surface, leaving marks that remain tender and sore and turn many colors (“bruises”). Humans etch things into their outer skin, sometimes, for decoration or religious reasons. They use tiny needles to embed colored pigments just below the surface, where it remains visible to other humans forever (“tattoos”). Rocky wonders if Grace has any tattoos. Rocky thinks about being embedded underneath Grace’s skin.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    How Grace finally gets back into a classroom, where he belongs

    Summary

    From the moment their ships had entered Penacony's orbit, Veritas knew he was being watched. In the dream, he could feel the attention on him like grease smeared across his skin.

    How exhausting; to value truth above everything and be asked to lie.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe loved the idea of starting a family with Shen Qingqiu, but becoming a parent is a whole other challenge. Luo Binghe struggles through parenthood, uncovering facets of himself he was previously unwilling to face as he learns to love his children and conquer his self-hatred.

    (I always hated how many people dumb Luo Binghe down and say there's no way he would be a good parent, and so I wanted to express through this that it's more complicated than him being just an immature, incompetent manchild)

    (Also I wanted to write pregnant Bingbong :D)

    Summary

    "First date or-?." She let the question trail pleasantly, glancing between them with an expression that was not quite a smirk and not quite a smile [...]
    "We're not…" Dan Heng began.
    "Together," Blade said, at the same moment.

    -----

    Silver Wolf has enough of Blade and Dan Heng's tension and orders them to just get a bubble tea to cool off.

    Summary

    Checking into a hotel with Blade had certainly not been on Dan Heng’s to-do list when he first stepped out onto Planarcadia, but with how often Trailblazing missions went awry, Dan Heng figured that this little detour was just par for the course.

    Going off on his own to find Blade was reasonable…necessary, even.

    Staying with Blade, even while he was resting for the day and in all likelihood would be doing little but sleeping?

    Well. Not even Dan Heng could fully justify his choice in his head with reasons that sounded more logical rather than personal, though that did not stop him from trying.

    --

    Blade and Dan Heng are forced to share a hotel room and confront all the things left unsaid between them.

    Summary

    Mikholo Varmar, notorious crime lord of the Andolla Star System, nudges his stack of chips with one hand while playing a dagger between the fingers of the other.

    He’s been doing that all night. Kakavasha finds himself watching the blade as it whirls, its tip rusted by bloodshed. On Sigonia, such a blatant display constitutes a threat.

    Still, he smiles as he pushes his own chips forward. “I’ll call your bet.”

    He’s an actor, after all, and even on pain of death, the show must go on.

    ———

    Kakavasha undertakes his first mission for the IPC.

    Summary

    Even the pure seed can become wretched, when brought to root in tainted soil. Sunday knows that there is a murk lurking within his own mind that demands of him careful tending and weeding. Now that he is set adrift both in loss and in hope, that fetid ground has begun to breed new poisons.

    Or: shortly into his time on the Express, the growing wealth of kindnesses shown to him by Welt Yang begin to give Sunday fresh material for old nightmares.

    From today, Sunday reflects, his mortal body will probably be a corpse in a year.

    Summary

    Blade pays no heed to the Nameless’ weak attempts to stop him as he crosses the distance between them. He cradles Dan Feng’s cheek, cold under his fingers, as his other hand reaches for Dan Feng’s limp, lifeless palm and places it on the slope of his stomach, holding it there, pressing it further in when it feels like it would fall back to Dan Feng’s side if he doesn’t.

    “It’s just as you've always dreamed of. Our child,” he says instead, whispers into his husband’s ear before lifting his eyes to stare unblinkingly into Dan Feng’s own wide ones.

    “Didn’t you want that? A family?”

     

    Or, can a wrong ever make things right?

    Summary

    He is pretty sure he can touch the walls on both sides if he stretches enough. The safehouse is mostly taken up by a bed and their bags of gear, rations, and other supplies, and just enough space to get to the connected bathroom. But Elio had promised that if they did not leave this room for a week, they could walk away afterwards from the planet without fuss or complications to the plans they had already enacted there.
