    Summary

    Simon has been living on Erid for a year. As far as the Eridians are concerned, Simon is just a normal regular guy. The eel teeth, the scales, the tree bark? All normal human things. Simon lets them believe it. What are they gonna do, check?

    Then Adrian’s mate arrives with another human in tow, and Simon’s panicking. If the savior of Erid thinks he’s a monster, if he leverages the debt Erid owes him to kick Simon out…

    Grace knows he’s a guest in this stranger’s home - Adrian made it very clear that said stranger is cagey around new people and if he asks Grace to leave, Grace has to go back on the Hail Mary until they can build him his own place. After four years crammed in a small space ship, Grace is desperate to be allowed to stay.

    There’s a miscommunication in there somewhere.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    Soap’s ridden Ghost until his thighs cramped before. He's stolen and pulled Ghost’s own knife on him in bed, and he's tore up Ghost’s back and shoulders with his nails and teeth. And Ghost likes his enthusiasm, the visceral proof that Soap is into...whatever is going on between them.

    But this is novel. Soap drugged and subdued and on his back. Soft and submissive and staring up at Ghost like he’s some benevolent God sent to take care of him here in the infirmary—when all Ghost’s really thinking about is how well Soap’s going to take his cock like this.

    Summary

    “Johnny, fuckin’ hell.” Skull-framed eyes widened. A hand shot out to grab Soap’s shoulder, turning him to get a better look at whatever had caught Ghost's attention. “Why didn’t you say anything?”

    Soap looked down at himself to get an idea what the lieutenant was freaking out about.

    Ah. Blood. Quite an impressive amount, actually.

    Soap gets a little bit shot. It's fine, but the shock rattles their small group, making them even closer than before. Also, there's a game of Cluedo, for some reason.

    Summary

    Soap freezes as he hears that infamous piece of fabric slip away.

    “'Thought you slept in that thing,” he tries to quip, but the strain in his voice is obvious.

    “Shut up, Soap,” Ghost grumbles, slipping into bed behind him, “move over.”

    or

    Being the last ones to the safehouse means Soap and Ghost get last pick of the bedrooms, but thankfully they're more than used to being in close quarters with each other.
