    Summary

    Two survivors try engineering a solution to touch starvation and discover they’re building a way to admit they love each other. Or Big Gay Yearning: the fic

    “All this for a hug. You must want it pretty bad, huh.”

    It slips out before Grace can stop himself. Rocky stops for a brief second, carapace tilting towards him intently. He wiggles slightly, it’s the ‘I’m watching you’ wiggle, and Grace puts his hands up in defense.

    “Hey, you said it!" Grace defends himself, "Rocky Grace same!”

    Rocky hums and goes back to work. Grace thinks maybe he got away with it.

    “Grace tell Rocky how badly he wants Rocky touch.”

    Oh. Grace did not get away with it. Crap.

    “What was that?”

    “Did Rocky stutter, question?”

    Double crap.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Humans make often things in their image, and said things gain human characteristics. The Hail Mary Computer is no different.

    Summary

    The soulmate string is a purely human trait; even if two connected humans have no similarities, no possible contact with each other up until their first meeting, they could have one. Sometimes the strings change colors as a relationship evolves, a phenomena that was extremely hard to track. They can't be replicated. There's no way to artificially duplicate a string or change its color. Nobody has been able to figure out if they're even made of anything other than light. And to round it all off, the only people that can see the strings are you and whoever you're connected to.

    This is especially bad for Ryland, who has two clear strings shooting straight up into the sky.

    Summary

    Rocky wasn't courting Grace. Nope. Not at all. Not even when every totally-just-for-a-friend gift he gives him is made with such loving dedication to making his Grace's life just that little bit happier. He couldn't bear to ruin what they had by asking for too much - but he didn't account for Grace returning the favor with his own gift.

    Or, two times Rocky definitely wasn't giving Grace courting gifts, and one time Grace absolutely was giving Rocky a courting gift.
