    Summary

    "“Today is day Grace can meet Adrian!”
    “Oh,” I hear myself say. I don’t want to say that, not really – it sounds downcast, and I don’t want Rocky thinking meeting his mate will be a problem. I don’t want Rocky to have any problems.
    But this is faster than I expected."

    Or: Grace meets Adrian. Grace subsequently has a crisis over what he and Rocky mean to each other, and then does the most idiotic thing he possibly could.

    Summary

    Lars doesn't like drinking. It's another thing that separates him, singles him out as different.

    He doesn't like to think about it very much. 


    "If you're trying to find out why Lars is the way he his, you won't find an answer."

    Crossing her arms over her chest, Karin plants herself more firmly.

    "Well, have you ever asked him?"

    Summary

    Back then, I hadn’t remembered the reason behind the weight of that ache in my chest. I’d assumed that it was loss, of course. Even if I hadn’t lost her before, my mother was lost to me now. But now I know why the ache runs so deep - a lot of things are starting to make a lot more sense to me, actually.

    I had a family, just not for very long.

    I saw it as a curse, that no one else in my family had lived past forty. I was supposed to be the exception. Maybe I can blame my cowardice on that. Deep in my bones, I’d feared and known that the universe would never let me live past my expiry date.

    Until Rocky arrived and took my fate into his own claws, of course.

    Or,

    Grace recovers his childhood memories, just in time to celebrate his 41st birthday on Erid - and remembers there was someone he used to share it with.

    Summary

    He’s fine, he’s slept alone before, he can sleep alone again. He doesn’t need someone watching him, he’s not a baby, crying in the dark for a… what’s the word…. nightlight! Adults don’t babble for their parents after a nightmare. His skin doesn’t crawl, there’s no sense of impending doom, there’s no danger crawling up from the shadows, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with Rocky- he’s in the next room over, the same place he’s been for the last few days, working on his project alone, just like he wanted-

    Grace is tired. He’s so, so tired.

    Or: Grace and Rocky have an argument that results in them avoiding each other, which leads Grace to realise he's become more reliant on Eridian customs then he first thought.
