    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.

    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    Summary

    Steve could drop the subject, but he’s already said too much. He could pretend he’s over it, but he's a bad liar. Or he could just… tell Eddie. He’s another alpha—he might understand. Steve lets his head slip out of his hands and land face down on the counter. Voice muffled, he says, “...My mojo is missing, Eddie.”

    “C’mon,” Eddie prompts again. “Tell me more.”

    Lifting back up, Steve sighs. He lowers his voice. “I used to… I used to knot every time.”

    “What?” Eddie asks, voice squeaking.
    ............

    tldr: Steve’s mojo is missing. Good thing Eddie is here to help. (Alpha/Alpha)
