    Summary

    He’s been working very hard on something he refuses to show me, says it’s for my birthday. The first time Rocky said that, even I had forgotten it was coming up to that time in a couple of Earth months. I questioned how he even knew when it was but apparently I leave my calendar open a lot on one of the sixteen laptops the Mary is stocked with. So.

    In any case, birthdays aside, he won’t tell me what the darned thing is!

    On their lengthy trip to Erid, Rocky works on a birthday present for his best friend as Grace continues to grapple with his dwindling food supplies and the heavy burden of his memory loss.

    Summary

    Of all the beautiful, explosive, exciting ways to die in space, and a leaky pipe filled with liquid ammonia is what almost takes me out.

    Grace and Rocky must journey back to Erid. Except this time, they can’t take the Hail Mary, and Grace is not built for Blip-A

    Summary

    A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)

    Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
    Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
    Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
    Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
    Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
    Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
    Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.

    Summary

    “How far did he get?”

    “Almost touched the fence,” Carl says.

    “He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired.

    “Past tense already?”

    Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now.

    (eva stratt has just kidnapped her second-in-command. eva stratt has just lost her closest friend.)
