    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    title shortened from: 'Sharks just want to play, experienced sailors fear the jellyfish'

    In the canon universe we know, Eva Stratt and Ryland Grace would never be able to have more than what they did: a fleeting friendship, brushing the surface of what they *could* be but never dipping deeper. Stratt had a job to do. Grace had a world to save.

    Here, however, meeting years earlier and in a universe where the sun will never dim, things go a little differently.

    OR

    aroace strattland working themselves out in the world, figuring out how to settle into the secret third thing that makes their lives so much better. Domestic fluff, years worth of waiting, two souls that just connect, even if they could never explain quite how, A shark and a jellyfish, bobbing their way through the ocean.

    Summary

    Dr. Herrick is chatting up Grace in the corner. Or at least, he’s trying to. Grace is mostly avoiding eye contact, glancing across the room every few seconds towards particularly lively conversations, or looking down at his pack of sour skittles.

    Usually, Stratt doesn’t spend much time down here in the bar with the rest of the crew—she’s busy, and she doesn’t particularly wish to soften her reputation. But she has mindless emails to answer tonight, and anyway, she’s been wanting to see how Grace interacts with the others. She’s been curious.

    ~~~

    Stratt witnesses one of her crew corner Grace in a dark hallway. She intervenes.
