    Summary

    Simon remembers when bathing was something that never took longer than 3 minutes. In, wash, and out. Not like he had a choice, with the dwindling resources. But it had seemed so thoughtless, periodic and routine that he'd never given it much consideration.

    OR

    Grace helps Simon wash his hair.

    Summary

    Grace was a chemistry guy: his world was provable and predictable. Every quantum physicist that Grace knew had a wild-eyed, pulling-my-hair-out kind of energy, so it felt like a very bad sign that the most grounded explanation for Simon's presence here might be "wormholes."

    Grace knocked his glasses off his nose to scrub his eyes, leaving them dangling from one ear. Talking to Simon had given him more questions than answers. What else could he observe about the man? What were the objective facts?

    He picked up his marker and wrote:

    -Handsome

    Really, Grace?

    Summary

    The beginning is loosely inspired by that time my 3rd degree black belt high school teacher broke up a fight during lunch.

    Grace may not have military training, or any sort of experience in hand to hand combat. But muscle memory kicks in when he’s forced to intervene during one of Simon’s more violent episodes and the convict threatens to hurt Rocky.

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    Summary

    “This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.

    “Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”

    Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”

    “I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”

    “Do you want to talk instead?”

    Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”
    -----
    Or Eridians find Simon's submarine while spreading Astrophage to the galaxy and bring him back to Erid. Grace has to change his normal routine to help this new human adjust to life. Slowly, they get to know one another, despite Simon potentially being a war criminal from a moon with an ocean full of blood. But there's just something else about Simon that Grace can't shake, and he's pretty sure Simon feels it too...

    Summary

    I had hesitated so much in even considering bringing this up to SecUnit. I had run endless simulations of this interaction, cataloguing every minute detail of how I could redirect the flow of the conversation to preserve my dignity despite the inherent humiliation of what I would be asking for. Still, I find myself woefully unprepared for how SecUnit actually reacts. It always finds ways to surprise me and evade my predictions.

    “You’re saying that being small and weak and helpless is going to make you feel better?”

    Well, it sounds stupid when it puts it like that.

    Summary

    That is to say, in the pursuit of knowledge, scientists can do some really fudging dumb things.

    The scientist in question? Doctor Captain Ryland Grace. The research design? Experimental. The line of inquiry? Whether the multibillion-dollar extensive healthcare system—a glorified nanny bot, really—aboard a spaceship hurtling into deep space could serve as a substitute for human touch. That is to say, a substitute for human touch in the interest of touch starvation… as a, uh, secondary objective. Because the primary objective involves… er… usecaseinsexualendeavors.

    Ergo: Grace wants to turn Armando into a fuck machine.

    Or: Grace and Rocky struggle with intimacy due to biological constraints. So, they decide to use Armando as a way to bridge the gap. However, when it comes to these two, things don't always go according to plan.

    Summary

    Simon sometimes thinks he actually died down there, crushed by the pressure of the dense blood and eaten by whatever it is lurking in the depth of the crimson ocean. And not just that. It seemed that apparently, whatever God that had forsaken him when he was just born into the desperation, has decided that Simon’s sins were all forgiven, let go for that suffering he endured in the submarine. It sent him to the version of heaven that Simon couldn't even dream of.

    It wasn’t any more a question than it was an acceptable greeting. I knew that he’d enjoyed it, felt exactly how much.

    "Yes," Gurathin responded, matter-of-fact, "is that a problem?"
