    Summary

    Everyone gets something from Bucky. A nickname. A touch on the shoulder. A rough kind of affection hidden inside annoyance and habit. Everyone except John.
    John tells himself it doesn't matter. That it shouldn't matter. But after a bad mission, a near miss, and too many old hurts dragged to the surface, he breaks down in the privacy of his room wanting one humiliatingly simple thing: gentleness. What he gets from Bucky is more than that - forehead kisses, quiet reassurances, and the kind of confession that changes everything.

    Summary

    The humans threw Grace away. Grace, who worked so hard to save them, who came back for Rocky when he realized the taomoeba would eat through Rocky's ship. Grace, who gave up his chance to go home to save Erid too.

    And then Rocky finds out exactly how Grace ended up in space.

    They're not giving him back now. Grace will always have a place on Erid where he's beloved and cherished the way he should be, even if it takes Grace a while to believe he's worth that. Rocky may or may not have plans to fix up the Hail Mary for the trip back anyways- there were a few things they wanted to say directly to Stratt's face.

    Summary

    Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”

    Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”

    The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.

    Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”

    ———

    Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.

    Summary

    “COI,” Simon growled, bringing one knee up and shifting his weight, struggling to remember how to stand. The ground bucked beneath him, sending him onto all fours, the impact jarring every nerve. “Not done feeding me to it, keep chewing and spitting.”

    He gagged on his next words, choking back a sob. “'M’not a person, am I? Just a machine to you. Patch me up, send me in again..." Every muscle seized in a violent, cramping tremor. His breath shook. Cold sank into his bones while his skin seared hot.

    “I don’t know who this COI is,” Grace said evenly. A cough. A few deep, wheezing breaths. “Wow, you really did a number on me.”

    “Rocky explain,” the alien said firmly, tapping Grace’s knee not too gently before turning back to Simon. “You in danger. You hurt. We hear distress call through wormhole. We help.”

    Summary

    It was perfectly smooth, almost polished, a dark red-bronze color that reminded me of old pennies. No markings, no lights, no handholds. Just... a sealed tube. "Reading a steady 363 degrees Kelvin on the surface, but there's a hot spot at one end - around 423. Something's active in there. Maybe the propulsion system? Except there's no propulsion system..."

    "Life support," Rocky trilled, his voice dipping into what I recognized as his 'thinking' range. "Eridian 🎶 no doors. Too dangerous. Maybe same. Pressure inside is very high. Door not open until pressure outside matches."

    That made a disturbing amount of sense. "So this thing is designed to open in a high-pressure environment. Like deep underwater? But it was in space. That's the opposite of high pressure."
