    "“Whatcha doing, Simon?” Grace leans in the doorway, sweater on his shoulders and a tired look in his eyes.

    “Looking for scissors.”

    “How come?”

    “I- I want to cut my hair.”"

    Or, Simon cuts of his hair and works through the journey of growing it back out

    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

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    Rocky, my best friend in the universe, doesn’t know that his mate is a fraud. A coward.

    "A coward, and full of shit." Stratt’s voice echoes through my head, flooding my veins with an icy chill. I never volunteered for the mission. I never even wanted to try. The survival of the planet depended on me, billions of lives, an infinite amount of flora and fauna, all potentially doomed because of me. Would have been doomed, if Stratt hadn’t drugged me and thrown me on the ship herself. Oh God.

    And now I’ve doomed Rocky.

    I stumble to my feet, tripping over him as he follows me, squawking in Eridian faster than my tiny, useless human brain can keep up with right now. I can’t let him touch me, I don’t deserve it. I’ve doomed him to a life where his soulmate is a liar and a useless waste of carbon. I feel like the biggest failure and also as small and miniscule as a speck of dust.

    Coward.
    Coward.
    Coward.

    I do the only thing I can think of at this moment, I need to get away from Rocky before I poison him further. He already almost died saving me once, I won’t risk him sacrificing more of his life for me. And so I run, again.
