    Summary

    I look to the clock Rocky forged for me, my ‘Earth’ clock as it were… died a few months ago, turns out I’m not great at figuring out how to build triple A batteries! Add it to the to-do list. 11:34am.
    With a deep sigh I roll onto my back, but my vision swims further, twisting my ceiling in spiralling ways.
    ----

    Ryland Grace is settling into his life on Erid, a place to now call home. Working hard to teach kids and pushing himself to find a new normal, Grace becomes sick with a unknown illness. Can he get better under Erdian care or will his mysterious illness consume what's left of him.

    Summary

    “Oh,” I sigh, rubbing still-shaking hands across my stubbly face because oh, that was so close. Too close. We were supposed to be done with the theatrics, with the life-and-death bullhonkey.

    What the heck, universe? Not cool.

    I don’t want to move for a bit. The siren song of dissociation calls my name, and honestly, I’m so, so chill with just sitting here for a second and decompressing and trying to remember all the breathing techniques I learned for my students, butー

    But the lights are still flashing red, flashing with urgency and Mary is saying something and I have to drag my mind, kicking and screaming, back to focusー

    “-ected. Toxic gas in Laboratory detected. Toxic gas in Laboratory-” Mary drones, and once it clicks into place the cold sweat is backー

    Oh god noー

    The banging noise. The gas leak. The lab.

    Rocky.

    Summary

    Rocky drops his tools, making Grace jump. “Nightmare? Grace had nightmare?”

    He sounds panicked. Grace hurries to reassure him. “No, no, not a nightmare. Just a…just a dream.”

    “Just dream?”

    Grace sighs. He wrings his hands and sniffles. “We were…on a beach. Together. Sharing the same atmosphere. Safe and…and happy. You asked me about the constellations.”

    “Rocky no understand,” Rocky says. “Sound like good dream. Why Grace sad, question?”

    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. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.
