    Summary

    Foggy Nelson had a soul-numbing job as junior counsel at Landman & Zack. He never expected to be the kind of person a masked ninja saved from probable death in an alley. He definitely didn’t expect to end up friends with a friendly ninja somebody named DD 19-64.

    Summary

    "Uh," Grace stumbles on, clearing his throat roughly. "Our dad is the best. He's always there to support us. He would make us soup when we were sick, and he would let us stay up late when we kept asking him to read us books in bed. He never yelled."

    GRACE DAD IS NICE, Rocky chirps.

    "Gentry," Grace says without thinking. Then, he blinks. "His name, I mean. His name was Courtland Gentry."

    (A ColtlandGentry!AU where Ryland remembers the wrong parts of his past during his harrowing time starving in Erid's orbit.)

    Summary

    Jesus, my back.

    I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.

    God, I hope he can't. Please God.

    It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.

    "I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.

    I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.

    The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

    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.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
