    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

    Summary

    What human do when restless, question?” Rocky asks me from his starfish position. I half-ass one last sit-up, then flop onto my back, mirroring him.

    “Uh. Depends on the human, I guess,” I say, chest rising and falling as I recover my breath. I wrack my brain for examples. “Exercise, mostly. Like going for a walk, or to the gym—that’s a special building just for exercising. Or, you know you can play sport, go dancing, have sex—”

    Rocky perks up at that last word, and I immediately regret it.

    Summary

    "But Grace have sex in crew quarters sometimes."

    "That's not— you shouldn't—" Grace shakes his head. He knows Rocky doesn't mean to make him uncomfortable. Heck, Grace's biggest problem at the moment is that the knowledge of Rocky watching him doesn't make him uncomfortable. Not in the way it probably should. "It's not really sex. Since I'm by myself when I…" he trails off and hopes that's the end of it.

    "Rocky is here when Grace have not-sex."

    "No, I mean—" Grace sighs and tries not to pull out his hair. "It's only me. Touching myself. You don't touch me."

    Rocky sinks back on his hind legs and goes quiet in a way that Grace recognizes as careful thought. Stony fingers click together and drum against the aluminum composite flooring. When Rocky speaks next Grace nearly falls off his stool.

    "Grace let Rocky touch, question?"

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.


    OR: The universe's most unlikely meet-cute.
