    Summary

    Once I’m within range, I start hearing those sounds Rocky was talking about, little groans and hitches of breath. He’s trying to keep himself quiet, I can tell, another bad habit of his.

    Wait, there’s something else, too, a sort of faint squelching? Well, he’s either very vigorously washing his hand - but, no, I don’t hear the water running - or he’s-

    Suddenly, I hear what is very clearly a moan from the other side of the door, even if muffled.

    Oh.

    Oh my god.

     

    Or when Rocky hears Simon making some concerning sounds in the Hail Mary’s bathroom, he sends Grace to go check on him, and the man is met with quite the surprise.

    Title from Do I Wanna Know? by Artic Monkeys (but I’m specifically thinking of the Hozier cover y’know?)

    Summary

    Grace is beautiful and brilliant and, inexplicably, always has a smile for him. He's an angel to Simon's dog and Simon will spend the rest of his life groveling at his feet.

    He doesn't mind.

    [Or: Simon believes he needs to give Grace something in return for everything. Along the way, he falls in love, all while thinking Grace views their arrangement as something purely sexual.]

    [Read the first work in this series first! It's essentially chapter 1.]

    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

    Summary

    There was something to be said about how sad it was to be in your thirties, single, and spending your Friday nights talking to a stranger on the internet that you paid for naked videos of themselves.

    But Ryland Grace was in far too deep to care.


    There was something to be said about how sad it was to be a convicted felon, single, and spending your Friday nights making content for strangers on the internet who paid to see you naked.

    But Simon Edenson had nothing left to lose.
