    Summary

    Uh oh! The new human in town doesn’t seem to like Ryland all that much. How are the Eridians supposed to make them get along?

    OR

    Simon doesn’t trust Grace. Grace doesn’t trust himself. Grace needs a hug. Simon needs a nap. Rocky and Adrian don’t know how the hell these humans managed to survive to adulthood.

    Summary

    Simon has a problem. If it’s left up to him, he’ll try to take it to his grave.
    Grace isn’t able to try the same, not for this.

    ——

    Simon can’t tell if Grace actually glances down to his lips as he puts his glasses back on his nose or if it’s just his own wishful thinking, as it happened in the blink of an eye, if it happened at all. “I, uh, was wondering, only if, well, I-,” Grace quickly averts his gaze, shaking his head with a nervous laugh, “You know what, never-”

    Still reeling too much from his debatably imagined glace, Simon reaches across Grace’s space, placing his hand down in the space between Grace’s thigh and his hand. “Use your words, Grace.” One of his brows twitch, not nearly as patient as Grace is. “I hate guessing games, so spit it out.”

    The nervous grin never leaves Grace’s lips and the bulb above the stove highlights the way blood rushes to his cheeks.

    Summary

    She's been staring at the footage for over an hour today, the chase playing on a loop as it had in the days since it happened, Grace's bright yellow jacket a beacon in the blurs of gray buildings, black coats, and dull green grass. She stares at it for so long that it becomes the only thing she sees in her dreams anymore.

    She meant to delete it. She meant to put it behind her and focus on the mission, focus on the Astrophage, focus on putting her betrayal so far back in her mind that she could continue living with her choices.

    The videos are archived onto the Hail Mary instead.

    Eva Stratt will never know.

     

    OR Stratt uploaded the cctv footage of Grace running for his life and Simon finds it, forcing Grace to face that dark spot in his memory

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been housing three for some time. The dinner situation is not going very well.

    Rocky can get along fine on Eridian food, and due to his mutations, Simon can too.

    It's Grace's lack of Earth rations that are the problem.

     

    OR

     

    Simon and Rocky have to watch as their saving Grace starves in front of them.
