    Summary

    “We call this ♪♫.”

    “The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.

    And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, his gaze follows me very, very slowly.

    “What?” I ask.

    “Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.

    “It’s a rock.”

    He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.

    “Grace,” Rocky says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”

    /////

    Or: Rocky learns the meaning behind the name Grace gave him.

    Summary

    Getting your brain beamed temporarily into an Eridian body is really weird on the senses. On the plus side, though: there's now so much more of Erid to explore!

    Summary

    “Joy does not know Grace,” Rocky grumbles. “Joy thinks Grace is ♩♭ ♬ ♫ ♩! I know Grace— mean is good for Grace.”

    I'm about to argue back, but I'm distracted by Joy's annoyed whistle. “I do not think that!”

    “Wait, what?” I look between them. “Hey, new word. What does Joy think I am?” I address this to Rocky, who is far more likely to tell me if I've just been insulted.

    “Ignore,” Joy says. “Rocky is inaccurate.”

    Summary

    Rocky doesn't know how to feel about birthdays. He knows less what constitutes "good" gift-giving on Earth, or at what point structure becomes art.

    But Grace saved his life. It's only fair he gets a little life back.

    Summary

    "Aw, don't give me bad news." Grace tipped his head back, smiling idly. "Isn't life in prison enough for one man? What's next, they're taking away my birthday?"

    Carl waited, sitting still with his hands folded on the table, patient as Grace's wandering gaze and tapping knee stayed erratic. When their eyes met again, Grace's expression fell.

    "What?" Grace said, with more dread.

    Summary

    He must have been on some strong painkillers not to realize as much when he first woke up. His wings close around him protectively, and-

    Wait. Rewind.

    His… wings? He manages to look up to see an enormous wing with pure white feathers edged with black around the tips stretching over his head. The feathers slowly straighten as he attempts to flex it. Huh. Has he always had those?

    (Or: Grace wakes up from his coma with wings. This has some unfortunate implications.)

    Summary

    Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.

    "I've got it reversed," Grace decides.

    I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.

    "Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."

    Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.

    "This is actually a second cousin," It says.

    I decide not to ask.

    Summary

    Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.

    Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.

    Grace, though…

    Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

    Summary

    “How many cycles have you skipped?”

    Kim Soleum stared at the man’s frustration with visible confusion.

    “Don’t tell me you’ve skipped multiple cycles,” He said, leaning closer. “Weren’t you taught how detrimental that can be to your health?”

    “I can take care of myself fine.” Kim Soleum said, but the tenseness in his shoulders didn’t leave.

    “You obviously aren’t!” Agent Choi said.

    Three instances where the people around Kim Soleum are concerned for his health. Unbeknownst to them, Kim Soleum is from a world where omegaverse is just fiction.

    Summary

    It would have probably been best if Grace recovered a few more memories of his life on Earth before asking the Eridians to synthesize alcohol for him. Like, maybe, all the memories of how dependent he used to be on substances and how much of a train wreck his life was whenever he let them control him. Surely, though, things will be different on an alien planet.

    Summary

    "Is this about their latest SecUnit rescue subject?" ART asked. Nosy fucker; I should have known it would have bullied the other bot pilot for details.

    "SecUnit extraction," I corrected, to be pedantic. Or is it pediatric? Whatever, I wasn't going to ask.

    "So it is about that project?" ART plowed forward. "I am not surprised they want your input. You are one of the more valuable information sources they have."

    "I just feel like they're setting themselves up for failure," I admitted. "Their newly freed SecUnits keep trying to self-destruct."

    There was a .5 second pause. In the feed, it felt like an eternity. "I see," ART said, not sounding so smug anymore. "Yes, that is distressing."
    .
    Or, the first (sort of) organized suicide prevention effort for SecUnits.
