Summary
Somewhere between Adrian and Erid, Rocky invents the xenosuit to help Grace. It turns out they both needed it.
"The thing about sharing a spaceship with a guy in a hamster ball is you end up doing the grunt work. So here we are, en route to an alien planet, and I am once again hanging off the side of the dang ship. At least this time I’m securely fastened and not watching us sink toward our doom."

Summary
Written for a Tumblr prompt by one-step-at-a-time25/Incorrectlyright:
"Someone should write Rocky trying to tell Grace that he loves him and Grace doesn't understand and is using a bunch of other words. Once they get it Grace has to describe what love means and Rocky just says it over and over to him."
I really need that man to know he's loved, especially on the way to Erid, while he's leaving everything else behind because he loves his friend.

Summary
The Carfax case has shaken John up. Sherlock's voice note, with its blunt affection, and John's mum's honesty leaves John vulnerable. He wants to tell Sherlock how he feels; he just needs to find the words.
“Right—so. Sherlock's still asleep. It's been about twelve hours. I'm still thinking about that voice note. Didn't expect it to mean so much. I'm—I'm proud of him, right? All the time. Guess I never said it either. Maybe I should try. I didn't like going off on my own, even with Mari. I like it when he's there. I wonder if he knows.”

Summary
“Watson has always been a steady man, since I have known him: steady mind, steady hand, steady heart. And while he has called me a man of habits, I have found his habits more reliable by far. When there is danger he will stand to meet it, and where I go, he will want to go.
But it did surprise me that he agreed to retire with me.”

Summary
He does the obligatory eye-rolling, at first.
You know. The whole pfft and whatever and nah, not for me mate. All the things he’s preconditioned to say when he’s terrified of trying something new and being absolutely dogshit at it.
(Ed's still learning how to sit with himself. A post-canon exploration of mindfulness, self-acceptance, and hyperfixating on a new hobby. And love, always 💕)

Summary
Jackson almost fucked it all up before it even really started. For the rest of his life, the memory was like the feeling of a car whizzing past him in the crosswalk, a bullet passing just overhead. Like his life had very nearly stopped, in an instant.
March was the one who made it weird. But somehow Healy was still the asshole.
