    Summary

    I stare at Rocky with dawning horror. “So, you’ve just been naked this whole time?”

    “It is not a big deal!” Rocky says. “You were fine with it the whole journey.”

    “That’s because I thought Eridians didn’t wear clothing!” I say.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace and Rocky are so close to saving stars they can taste it. A series of mysterious symptoms leads Grace to discovering that things are about to get a lot more complicated than he could have ever imagined.

    (Heavily inspired by The Cosmos Within Us by QueenOfAllCorgis. Highly recommend you go check out their work before reading mine!)

    Summary

    Five times Rocky helps keep Grace warm and one time he doesn’t have to (but does anyway).

    ~

    There’s something warm shoved against him.

    He creaks his eyes open.

    Finds his quilt and Rocky.

    Moves to drape the quilt around his shoulders and press his cheek against the xenonite ball.

    Closes his eyes when he feels Rocky press against the ball too.

    “Grace rest. Grace warm. Rocky here.”

    Summary

    It’s been a while since he’s gotten a good night’s sleep and it’s been even longer since he’s eaten enough to keep him full, so his thoughts are nothing more than buzzing, white static these days, which is why he doesn’t think much of it when he feels a light tap against the small of his back.

    With a grumbled complaint, Grace rolls over, a feat that feels similar to pushing himself through rapid water, and freezes.

    “You’re . . .” His thoughts muddle as he blinks, the rusty gears in his brain churning smoke. “You’re . . .not in a ball.”

    . . .

    Malnutrition has left Grace colder than he's ever been before and Rocky comes up with a solution, but the contact reminds Grace of the last time he was on Earth.
