    Summary

    "You can literally hear inside me when you focus, bud. Has observing the action of my gallbladder in HD made you think less of me as a person, or humanity as a whole?"

    [Yes,] Rocky says without hesitation, which makes Grace choke on a laugh. He amends, […at first. Then I get used to. Kind of cute now. Humans need infinity liquids to do basic process, always new mucus…]

    "I bet I'm gonna find your ultra-high-temp organs super cute too," Grace offers with an irrepressible grin, "and actually, okay, this strikes me as a morale problem. You're getting too down on yourself. I promise you there is nothing I could find rearranging your—" Nope. "—digging around in there that would shame the entire Eridian race."

    [No way for you to know this,] Rocky says flatly.

    "There definitely is, because I'm gonna shame the entire human race first."

    This is how they spend the next three days on the glove box addition while Mary reads to them from the unreleased 2021 NEISS report, filtered by incidents requiring extraction of foreign objects from the 'lower trunk' or 'pubic region'.

    (or, Rocky eats something inedible. Grace helps. They both get Really Weird About It.)

    Summary

    It was an accident the first time.

    (One could argue that it wasn't even an accident the first time. Grace could argue this, and he would argue this, probably questioning, how does someone masturbate accidentally??? To which Rocky would then point to Portable Earth Thinking Machine and bring up the many definitions of the very word accident—one being "lack of intention or necessity," which is what Rocky means in this particular case.)

    …admittedly, it doesn't quite work. Rocky didn't start pleasuring himself accidentally after all—that was very intentional, as much as he'd hate to admit it, but he'd rather jump out of Mary's airlock than explain that to Grace.

    So no, not quite an accident. Not exactly the word that fits this peculiar situation he's gotten himself into.

    Rocky just didn't intend for it to go this far.

    Summary

    “How am I supposed to calm down and stop panicking when I nearly took Adrian’s mate away from him, when I nearly took an innocent life, who risked his own to save mine even though I was not worth saving, I was a coward, I was willing to give up the lives of billions of people to keep my own peace and not leave my comfort zone. I’m pathetic and I’m a loser and I almost killed Rocky, oh, God.

    OR

    Grace still feels guilty for nearly fucking up and killing Rocky. Those thoughts make him end up exactly as you think they would.

    Summary

    Somewhere between Adrian and Erid, Rocky invents the xenosuit to help Grace. It turns out they both needed it.

    "The thing about sharing a spaceship with a guy in a hamster ball is you end up doing the grunt work. So here we are, en route to an alien planet, and I am once again hanging off the side of the dang ship. At least this time I’m securely fastened and not watching us sink toward our doom."
