    Summary

    “Do you think I’m pregnant?” Billy asked a few days later.
    Ray choked on his last bite of dinner despite Billy deliberately timing his question.
    “I don’t know,” Ray answered when he finally stopped coughing. “It’s too soon to tell, isn’t it?”
    Billy noted Ray’s wary look while he internally hyped himself up to say the next part. He’d been thinking about it since that first night after, after they’d moved Ray’s bed back into the sleeping area. Staring at Ray’s back across the divide between their beds, remembering the weight of Ray’s hand on his hip, the warmth of him pressing down between Billy’s legs, Ray’s voice vibrating against his neck, it was all he could think about.
    ~~~
    Or, Billy and Ray have a lot of sex and talk about their feelings with moderate success.

    Summary

    Ray understands his emotions on an intellectual level, of course, but embodying and articulating them are another thing entirely. It's much easier, and safer, to bury them in favour of being single-mindedly goal-oriented, especially in the predominantly white spaces that he used to operate in. It leaves Ray feeling out of his depth when navigating the emotional space between him and Billy.

    But planning an experiment methodically? That is in Ray’s wheelhouse, and so getting Billy pregnant is what he turns his attention to.

    Or: Ray and Billy try to navigate making a baby in a totally straight and platonic way.

    Summary

    In experimental methodology, a round-robin test is an interlaboratory test (measurement, analysis, or experiment) performed independently several times.

    Summary

    He’s actively stepping around Rocky, stepping over him, and heading towards the other end of the lab, cabinets and rows of samples. He could find something else here to look at, check up on the Taumoeba farms…

    Except, he doesn’t even make it to the threshold to cross the hallway of the ship. His feet stop. A complete, precise standstill.

    Rocky had chittered at him, a short burst of notes, monosyllabic in Eridian despite the layers of chords. He registered it not as any word, yet the command still struck.

    Stay.

    Heeled. Like a dog.

    And it wasn’t by any doing of Grace’s own decision making.

    Summary

    “Would like to do it. But cannot touch. Rocky not know how to jerk off, either. Grace show first, so Rocky can learn. Maybe do later.”

    Three of Rocky’s claws raise and they open and close as they sway this way and that, all pointed at Grace. The only thing keeping them apart is a thin layer of xenonite and the incompatible atmospheres. Air and a few atoms. Somehow, the idea that Rocky might have just shoved Grace over and started touching him because he wanted to had him embarrassingly hard. He would be strong enough to. Grace wouldn’t even be able to fight him off…

    “Grace thinking about something exciting. Statement. Share.”

    Taptaptap, a claw on the glass. Excited.

    “Body is changing. Erection. Observation.”

    “Okay, you looking through my clothes is cheating,” Grace wheezes.

    alt; Grace jerks off while Rocky watches... well, a little bit more involved than watching.

    Summary

    "So how humans pick partner?"

    "Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”

    “Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

    Summary

    Grace points at the five tentacles.

    “So. Normally these are inside of you. But they have some length to them, if they’re able to reach outside of your body entirely like this. Do…? I mean, has any Eridian tried putting them into another like, Eridian, or…?”

    Rocky squeaks, a rush of air from his vents in a short burst. Scandalized.

    “Put inside!? No no no. Disgust! Grace think like pervert! No no no.”

    “It was an innocent question! Humans put their penises in any hole that can fit! Even stuff that isn’t alive, like, food or—”

    Another squeal, this time Rocky stands on three legs. His two limbs used currently for his arms wave erratically.

    “Perverted! Perverted! Perverted! Grace disgust! All human species disgust!”

    Summary

    “Grace?"

    Grace shakes his head, bringing himself back into the moment. “Sorry, Rock. What’d you say?”

    “What Grace want for birthday,” Rocky repeats himself, tone more insistent this time.

    “Y’know,” Grace says, deciding an unrealistic idea is better than no idea at all, “I think I want a hug from my best friend. If you can figure that one out, you’ll never have to get me another birthday gift again.”

    “Rocky will continue to get Grace gifts anyway.” Grace flushes at the declaration, which he does not want to address. Rocky is quiet for a moment after, tapping his claws on the ground in thought. And before Grace can tell him he was just joking, don’t worry about it, just make him some xenonite barbells so he doesn’t lose these muscles so fast, Rocky is perking up and skittering to leave the room again. “Rocky know how to get Grace gift! Will take some time. Late gift. Will make up for it next Earth year.”

    (Or, the one where Rocky's birthday present to Grace ends up getting a little out of hand.)

    Summary

    Gifting someone a stethoscope at a milestone was very traditional, he knew, but some traditions should be observed. They kept you anchored to something greater than yourself. And this one was just...warm. Jack always thought of the people who'd given him his steths—Colonel Jacquemin, who'd gifted him his first Littmann when he finished residency, or Lizzie, who'd given him his current Littmann III when Adamson hired him as an attending. It was a reminder of the people who loved you, believed in you, helped you along the way, a physical token of those you carried with you.

    Sure, maybe it wasn't exactly Jack's place to give one to Robby, more properly the domain of family or mentors. If Adamson had lived to retire, he would've gifted Robby a steth to celebrate his promotion, Jack was sure. Robby's family was gone, so that wasn't an option, and Jack would be damned if Robby's elevation to one of the highest posts in their field would go uncelebrated.

    Summary

    I did not expect the kiss. I mean I expected a kiss, preferably chaste, to seal my unholy commitment to Titus Danforth. I did not fight when my groom grabbed my chin and pulled me to him. The moment our mouths met, I knew something had changed. My lips felt as though they were aflame, and his, the only source of relief to cool the embers. I've kissed plenty of men in my time, some enjoyable, others not, but it has never felt like this. As though if I tried to pull away, my own body would betray me and drag me back to it’s promise land. It's resting place. Titus finally released his hold on my face and dragged his lips away, instead pressing his forehead into mine.

    "It's our blood oath baby,” Titus spoke "You're mine for eternity."

    The devil works in mysterious ways.

    ~*~*~*~

    Or Grace Le Domas’ murder of Titus Danforth doesn’t go to plan.
