    Summary

    He’s not much of a talker, Grace has quickly discerned, the words he does share are spoken gruffly but quietly, even the gratuitous swearing. More habit than actually irate. Still, Grace is just wondering how to fill the silence without just rambling when Simon cautiously ventures, “Say I’m not dead. Say it is real… why rescue me? Why fix me up?”

    He tilts his head, nonplussed, “Because you were stranded and you were hurt.”

    “That’s not what I’m asking,” spoken through gritted teeth. “At least, at least be honest with me. For what reason? What do you want in return?”

    In his lap, Grace’s fingers flex.

    “I don’t want anything in return,” he says steadily.

    (A bloodymary fix-it fic with extra emphasis on touch starvation, and boy is Grace ravenous.)

    Summary

    “Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?” 

    “Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”

    (or: the long, bumpy road to the truth)

    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.
