Summary
'Every missed call sent a spike of guilt through Gon that made his limbs feel as if they were made of lead. Every time a text pinged, his arm hairs stood on end.
Even so, he could not bring himself to call Killua back. His body was too heavy, and his mind was molasses.'
-
Gon, alone on Whale Island, struggling to be a person after the Chimera Ant War, meeting Ging, and, most importantly, separating from Killua.

Summary
“Lots of Eridian view Grace Rocky bond ♪♫♪♬. This include Adrian.”
“No understand word, Rock.” Their relationship? What about their relationship? His heart skips. Their occasional language barrier is like getting a patch of static right at the good part of the show you’re invested in.
Rocky hesitates to speak for a moment. “New word: suspected mates.”
Grace’s world tilts on its axis. There’s just no way that’s right. He reaches up and drags his beanie off of his head. Only then did it feel right to implore, “…Your people think you and I are mates?”
Or
Ryland Grace spends years in space falling in love with his best friend and keeping it secret, convinced Rocky could not possibly feel the same. Rocky, always on the same page, is conducting identical research.
It’s why they’re such a great team.

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.
They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.
Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
Now they have to navigate all of... that.- Language:

“Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.

Summary
“Grace, question?” Rocky was becoming increasingly more nervous. He’d never seen Grace do this before. Sleep was supposed to be restful. This didn’t look restful at all.
