    Summary

    "♩ ♩ ♬ ♩ ♪ ♫! [Mean very important! Not many!]"

    Grace racks his brain for a moment, then offers, "Precious?"

    "[Yes! Teachers precious! Grace precious!]"

    On Erid, teachers are the protected, prized few. Rocky learns that Grace was a teacher, and they have a discussion. (Can it be counted as one if dissonant notes are shrieked at the revelation for the majority of it?)

    Summary

    Rocky makes the flexible xenonite membrane to comfort Grace.

    Eridians don't sound like this, the fleshy parts of us are more internal and not so… active? There's just so much to hear, with it in my arms like this. The textures of its skin, the lines where the skin folds out of habit. The burn where I touched it, really touched it.

    Inspired by jadepataki's Boundary Conditions :) all dialogue from the original story! I just wanted to write Rocky's POV. I thought about how *different* Grace would sound now that Rocky can hear him through solid connection instead of through air-xenonite-air.

    Summary

    Rocky’s new suit opens up a whole new world of interactivity within the small bubble that is The Hail Mary.
    It makes everything a little bit easier to deal with (a little bit easier to fix).

    Or

    5 times Rocky helps out Grace with his newfound ability to touch things around him, and 1 time touching Grace is the thing that helps the most.

    (Previously titled “Rocky Can Touch, Question?”)

    Summary

    Life on Erid has fallen into a fairly normal pattern, well as normal as it can get for living on an alien planet as the only human for many, many light years. But it’s not much different from living on Earth. Even on Erid, students still like to pry into your personal life to distract from the lesson.

    or

    Grace breaks his arm trying to climb a tree.
