    Summary

    The human body is weird, Rocky knew that. What he didn't know was that getting a human body to be healthy again is a lengthy, uncomfortable process. Things can look worse before they get better. When a human starves for so long, many odd things happen when they finally receive sustenance again.

    Increased sleeping is one of them.

    Summary

    “Not — not understand,” Rocky continues, a little higher now, his body shuddering. “Try Vℓ times, all failure failure failure. Eridian mating sometimes fail, but not this much. This much unprecedented. Thought location, temperature, time of year problems in previous attempts — fixed all, Grace know Rocky and Adrian work to fix all, and still failure, still.”

    Grace fidgets with his hands, stretching each knuckle and palming the free edge of each nail, to keep from throwing himself onto Rocky and howling like an animal.

    (Because somewhere along the way, Rocky and Adrian's wish for kids had become Grace's own, too.)

    OR: Rocky and Adrian's eggs keep dying long before they hatch, and no one knows why. Grace — who definitely doesn't see himself as a parent to those hatchlings, how stupid and impossible would that be?! — has the normal reaction, which is inventing gene therapy from scratch to help the next egg survive.

    Summary

    "Rocky is sleeping more. More often and for longer periods. He sleeps, sleeps, and sleeps. And every time he sleeps, I wonder… I…"

    Or:

    The days following the fishing incident have left scars. Watching Rocky sleep is becoming more and more terrifying, and Grace is convinced that he is going to lose his best friend. He doesn't realize that Rocky is just as worried about him.

    Summary

    The lab always stayed in a state of organized chaos.

    Dried out dry erase markers, stacks of petri dishes, pots of fresh greens scattered around every surface and area, microscopes that were collecting dust, discarded boxes of latex gloves

    Rocky and I had spent months together on this ship

    Sleeping next to each other, telling stories, celebrating each other's traditions, eating in each other's company (though it was rare). Solving problems, creating formulas, testing theories.

    And somehow, I had gone this long without this happening.

     

    OR

     

    Grace has a meltdown and ends up educating Rocky as to what they are and look like for him, and Rocky responds to it a lot better than Grace expected him to
