Summary
Rocky leans in, so their carapace is almost all Grace can see. “Grace needs to use his words.” The notes are so deep and bassy that the translation software struggles to pick them up, but Grace manages to make them out.
“Rock— please,” he’s pleading now.
He can hear the satisfaction mixed together with the same unplaceable tone from earlier, can feel it in the way the vibrations reverberate through the rock into him. Grace feels it in his bones, right down to his core. “Use right words.”

Summary
Glint rests against Crows’ chest, keeping a watchful eye on his Guardian. It has been less than three hours since they attempted the severing ritual, and Glint doesn’t have to be able to read his Guardian’s mind to know that Uldren’s words are playing on repeat in his mind.

Crow has had nightmares ever since placing his hand upon Savathun's crystalline cocoon, and they have only gotten worse since he stepped foot on the Derelict Leviathan and bonded with his Nightmare.Series

Summary
“Hey,” a soft smile spreads across his face, “it’s…” he pauses for a moment, “it’s good to see you again.”
His voice is soft and tender again, like it was before Savathun revealed everything to him and Rai feels a weight she didn’t even realise she was carrying fall off of her shoulders.

Summary
“How can you say that when you don’t even know who he is? If the truth is what you really want, then lay your hand on me.”
Rai throws her gun on the ground, it makes a loud screeching noise as it scratches along the marble floor, and runs across the room towards Crow and stands between his outstretched hand and Savathun.
“Crow, don’t. Please.” Glint and Rai both beg him in unison, Rai reaches out and takes his hands in hers as he tries to take a step forward towards Savathun.

Summary
“Farewell for now, Young Wolf,” Mara calls out, as they pass through the doorway and the doors begin to slide closed, “do take care of my brother for me won’t you?”
Rai’s heart stops, for a moment, and if she was not a Guardian with her Ghost by her side she genuinely thinks that might have been her final death. In her peripheral she sees Crow whip his head around to face the now closed ornate doors, before looking frantically back and forth between Glint and Rai.
“Brother?!”

Summary
A collection of writings of my Guardian named Rai and The Crow from Destiny.
Sometimes canon compliant from the in-game events, but not always.
Titles that are inside brackets are fics I had written previously before events occuring in game, and therefore no longer match the canon. I wish to keep them published for record but no longer are part of my canon.Rai summary: She is a Veteran D1 Guardian and is an Awoken Warlock who pretty much exclusively runs Stormtrance. (Here's a pinterest board for her)
I also have a Pinterest board and playlist for this pairing!
(series has been renamed and so have the fics in it! apologies for the confusion!)

Summary
“Grace?"
Grace shakes his head, bringing himself back into the moment. “Sorry, Rock. What’d you say?”
“What Grace want for birthday,” Rocky repeats himself, tone more insistent this time.
“Y’know,” Grace says, deciding an unrealistic idea is better than no idea at all, “I think I want a hug from my best friend. If you can figure that one out, you’ll never have to get me another birthday gift again.”
“Rocky will continue to get Grace gifts anyway.” Grace flushes at the declaration, which he does not want to address. Rocky is quiet for a moment after, tapping his claws on the ground in thought. And before Grace can tell him he was just joking, don’t worry about it, just make him some xenonite barbells so he doesn’t lose these muscles so fast, Rocky is perking up and skittering to leave the room again. “Rocky know how to get Grace gift! Will take some time. Late gift. Will make up for it next Earth year.”
(Or, the one where Rocky's birthday present to Grace ends up getting a little out of hand.)

Summary
He’s actively stepping around Rocky, stepping over him, and heading towards the other end of the lab, cabinets and rows of samples. He could find something else here to look at, check up on the Taumoeba farms…
Except, he doesn’t even make it to the threshold to cross the hallway of the ship. His feet stop. A complete, precise standstill.
Rocky had chittered at him, a short burst of notes, monosyllabic in Eridian despite the layers of chords. He registered it not as any word, yet the command still struck.
Stay.
Heeled. Like a dog.
And it wasn’t by any doing of Grace’s own decision making.

Summary
“I guess, um,” I say, licking my lips as I stall. When did my mouth get so dry? “I don’t know why, don’t ask me why, but… you’re… obviously a lot stronger than me, and I guess that… activated some part of my brain that’s… into that, I guess.” I wring my hands, fussing with the arms of my jumpsuit tied around my waist- anything to avoid looking up at Rocky. “It’s just… been a long time since I’ve, uh. Mated with anyone, on Earth, and I think I’ve just been a bit- frustrated, so my body’s just reacting to whatever it can. Don't- don’t get me wrong, I know it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense, I mean- you could literally crush me if you wanted to, but- for some reason, I… I guess it was just… exciting. To me.” I finish lamely.
Rocky stares at me, as much as a being with no eyes and 360 degrees of echolocation ability can stare. I am acutely aware that he can hear every beat of my heart, every hitched breath. He can probably sense the pinpricks of sweat that bead on my forehead. I swallow, my heart hammering in my chest at the silence.
Rocky finally tilts his carapace ever so slightly. “You are aroused by strength in mate, question?”

Summary
“Lots of Eridian view Grace Rocky bond ♪♫♪♬. This include Adrian.”
“No understand word, Rock.” Their relationship? What about their relationship? His heart skips. Their occasional language barrier is like getting a patch of static right at the good part of the show you’re invested in.
Rocky hesitates to speak for a moment. “New word: suspected mates.”
Grace’s world tilts on its axis. There’s just no way that’s right. He reaches up and drags his beanie off of his head. Only then did it feel right to implore, “…Your people think you and I are mates?”
Or
Ryland Grace spends years in space falling in love with his best friend and keeping it secret, convinced Rocky could not possibly feel the same. Rocky, always on the same page, is conducting identical research.
It’s why they’re such a great team.
