    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.

    Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

    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

    This was supposed to be a quick one shot while I worked on my long sizzling slow burn because I was getting impatient for them to get to the kissing bit.

    Summary

    The Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage have long been known as the symbols of the Ghost King's reign. But what most don't realize is that the Crown and Ring aren't just pieces of jewelry to be worn. They have minds and thoughts of their own - and they don't hold back on sharing them, no matter how much it may annoy Pariah Dark! They've somehow grown attached to the ghost boy who dared to challenge him, and they incessantly insist that the whelp isn't getting enough food or sleep for a growing ghost his age.

    In an effort to silence their nagging, Pariah decides that something drastic must be done. And as much as he hates to admit it, the boy did show great courage and strength in their battle, qualities that Pariah would hope to see in a potential heir to the throne. Perhaps it was time to kill two birds with one stone, and calm the Crown and Ring's nagging while also settling his court's fears about the future of the Realm if he were ever to be defeated again.

    And even he has to admit that the Crown and Ring have a point. The boy had looked awfully skinny.
