Summary
“Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.
I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.
or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

Summary
I pour myself orange juice and fill the rest of my plate. Eggs, bacon, a couple of slices of tomato I smother with salt and pepper, and the biscuits and gravy take center stage. Normally, I save the best things for last, but my stomach pangs and I’m about ready to drool just from the smell of the gravy alone. I need to taste it first.
It’s incredible . I want—
“Your face is leaking again. Food hurt you, question?”
I blink, and Rocky unblurs as the tears drip out.
or Grace finds the Day 1-9 first meal tubes of the other crew members a year into the trip to Erid and accidentally unlocks some difficult memories.

Summary
“Good to see you,” I offer up when anything better eludes me, but Hatch doesn’t seem bothered at all. He’s not even looking at me. I follow his eyes, and it turns out it’s Stratt he’s eyeing up. Maybe he’s got something overdue to give her, too. “Better watch out,” I grin. “Stratt’s on a secret warpath tonight. Anyone holding out on her’s about to get mowed down in front of everyone.”
“She can mow me down anytime,” Hatch says with a little sigh, and did I hear that right?
or Grace gets roped into being Steve Hatch's wingman. He does as terrible a job as you'd expect.

Summary
I need to get it together. I’ve got a long trip ahead of me, and I can’t spend half of it mourning the only true friend I’ve had in years. Or can I? It’s been enough time, right? My body heads to the control panel without a moment to spare; it’s time for my daily ritual. I’ve only got so many Rocky checks left before he’s truly gone. There. He’s still there. Fainter every day, but even seeing the light makes me feel a little warmer.
Or a slightly longer look at Grace's time alone as he returns to Earth. To no one's surprise, he spends most of it missing Rocky.

Summary
“Got it, no problem, I’ll dial it back. Gotta say, though, Fizz didn’t seem bothered by me being all up in his biz. Gave me this key and all, right?” Blitzø spins his key ring around a finger, expression surprisingly unreadable as he meets Ozzie’s eyes. “So is this a Fizz problem, or a you problem?”
Ozzie’s jaw feels tight. “It’s a you problem. As in you are eating up my husband’s time. Don’t you have other friends? Those little imps that sang at the club? Stolas?”
or Blitzø is back in Fizz's life in a big way. Ozzie isn't ready to learn how to share.

Summary
Barry's life is weird. He wakes up in a cave with no memories and is following orders from a particularly bossy coin. When he meets someone handsome and friendly in a tavern, he can't quite talk him out of having a little bit of fun.
Which he barely even thinks about, until their memories come crashing back to him. Thankfully his family has an excellent sense of humor.
