    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher who has, by your reasonable estimate, never once clocked a flirtation in his entire life. He explains photosynthesis by analogy. He bikes to school. He wears science pun t-shirts.

    You have been winding him up for eight months. You have been doing it for the love of the game. You have been getting away with everything. Then he figures it out.

    And it turns out he is significantly better at handling a brat than you had budgeted for.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is your both your professor and your doctoral academic advisor. You are his student. Which meant that being anything more than that was soooo off limits. Right?

    Summary

    Rocky surprises Grace with his new human body. How will they adjust their norms?
    Edit New Summery:

    As Rocky struggles to adapt to unfamiliar social habits, Grace finds himself unprepared for what it means to no longer be alone. What starts as scientific curiosity slowly turns into something softer such as quiet mornings together, shared meals, accidental touches, and the growing comfort of simply existing side by side.
    But after years of isolation, neither of them quite knows what to do with the fragile, unfamiliar connection forming between them. Especially when every small moment suddenly feels like it means everything
