    Summary

    I don’t think; I react. There’s an incredibly loud bang, far louder than I ever imagined, and I watch as if from outside myself as the man who was in front of me crumples to the floor. I see red spreading across his chest, and I hear gasps from the others. I don’t think they believed I would do it. I didn’t think I would do it either.

    Ryland Grace's attempt to flee from his destiny goes differently, allowing him to escape. Who can he turn to but his long-lost older brother?

    This was originally supposed to be a one-shot for Whumpay 2026, Day 17 (Self-Defence killing/“Does it ever get easier”) but it just kept going and has instead become this!

    Summary

    All life on Earth evolved, in the beginning, from aquatic life forms. To many, the call to return to the ocean is instinctual, a feeling deep in their bones that goes far beyond any rational reasoning. To float amongst the waves, to kick and splash until it feels as though you were always part of the water, is to be entirely free.

    --Or--

    Grace gets access to an ocean, and immediately forgets everything else he's supposed to be doing.
    Rocky is not as thrilled by this.

    Summary

    “What are we naming this project?”

    “Project Human Comfort Activity.”

    “...Nah. That sounds like a sex thing, still. Uh. Project…Hug?”

    “No. Dumb name. Bad. Dumb.”

    “Well, jeez, what else do you suggest?”

    “Project Hold Human.”

    “Sounds like jail.”

    “Project Touch Grace.”

    “Yikes.”

    “...Project…Cuddle.”

    “...Yeah. I like that one. Project Cuddle a go?"

    "Project Cuddle APPROVED. Excite. Excite. Excite."

    ***

    Grace is touch-starved, and tired of contact only through Eridian space suits.

    Rocky doesn't want Grace to die.
