    Summary

    Three times Ryland Grace being sick is met with indifference + one time a sentient rock takes it very seriously.

    ~

    “Hi,” he says, trying out the word. He sounds snotty and sleepy. “Sorry to bother you. I think… I-I think someone el-else needs to watch my group.”

    There’s silence on the other end.

    “Why?” is all that comes next.

    Inconvenience.

    He’s always an inconvenience.

    Ryland sucks in a deep breath that leaves him coughing. “I don’t feel… I d-don’t feel very well, and… I t-threw up, and I…”

    His voice gives out before he can finish.

    Summary

    “Rocky?”

    “Apology, apology. Grace smart smart adult scientist. But sleep noises remind Rocky of small Eridians. Word is for young Eridians, first hatched."

    I pause rubbing the sleep out of my eye. Rocky just called me a baby. Or maybe hatchling would be the right translation?

    Summary

    "So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.

    "Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.

    Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.

    Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."

    "Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.

    "Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.

    Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.

    ***

    Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

    Summary

    Curled up at the back of the closet, against the wall and very unsuccessfully trying to hide himself behind the edge of a box of hazmat suits, is Simon.

    Grace stares. Simon stares back, seemingly frozen. He's sitting on the floor, legs curled up, hand halfway through shielding his face. The lighting isn't great, but his cheeks and eyes shine in a way that clearly show he's been crying. A lot.

    "Oh my gosh," Grace starts, panic lurching into sympathy and quickly joined by shock. "Simon?"

    ***

    Simon has barely age regressed before, and never in front of anyone else. But after the events in the SM-13 and while traveling with Grace & Rocky back to Erid, he needs new ways to heal.

    Summary

    Ryland wakes up on a planet 16.5 light years from home with nearly 2 decades worth of memories missing. He’s done incredible things, or so he’s told, but all of that is overshadowed by the painful process of remembering. There’s a lot of jagged edges around events from his life that he wishes remained buried. But for the first time, Ryland has the opportunity to pick up pieces previously left untouched, and create a stronger foundation for the new relationships in his one-of-a-kind, wild ride of a life.

    (Plenty of angst/hurt/comfort, flashbacks, etc. with fluff and lovely bits holding it together in between)
