    Summary

    There’s a sign in front of Shane. It says Welcome to Scott Hunter and Kip Grady’s Happily Ever After in a cursive font that makes Shane think of Etsy. Shane’s stomach churns. He briefly squeezes his empty ring finger. He feels, all at once, like he might cry. Instead, he swallows, and breathes, and pastes a smile on his face, and marches his ass down to Scott and Kip’s fucking wedding of the century.

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    Grace, question?

    His tone is patient, the chords of his words simplified so that I can definitely understand him without my laptop-translator-rig. See, he’s just considerate like that.

    No one in all the Earth Sci-Fi stories and movies tells you that the aliens will be kind.

    Another tap of his arm. Sad thoughts?

    “Sad thoughts.” I concede. No point lying to someone who can hear your heartbeat.

    Hm.

    I’m proud of myself for identifying the note as a thinking sound, a filler word. I gotta say, my foray into exolinguistics has been an excellent distraction from the general misery that is my now-mostly-remembered-life.

    Do you want to talk about it?

    ----

    Some overdue conversations . Time spent together on the way back to Erid re-opens some old (and some fresh) wounds.

    Summary

    There's something floating in the Eridian atmosphere.

    It's been sending out some kind of transmission that the Eridans can't make sense of, even with the help of Saviour Grace the transmission makes no sense.

    When the ship finally touches down, Grace steps off.

    Which is strange, considering Grace had gone with them to greet the newcomers.

    Summary

    ❝ Between the trunks of trees in your favorite cluster, two boys surge forth straight to you. They're grinning almost wickedly, but your first instinct is to look around to see if they made another clever getaway or if—

    There. Sylus is unmistakable even from the distance he maintains, thumbs hooked into his pockets and his expression neutral. He wears a fresh suit in his typical fashion: dressed down and less crisp than you assume it was when he put it on this morning, complete with the park-safe sneakers. ❞
