    Summary

    Foggy never wanted a slave. He gets given one as a gift for being accepted at law school anyway.

    They’re called study-aids - meant to help you at uni. But Foggy knows what study-aids are usually used for, and he’d rather walk into traffic than be complicit in that.

    In fact, maybe he can get away with treating him not like a slave at all? At least the guy seems like, *really* into the idea of studying law...

    An enslaved Matt gets given to Foggy and it’s the biggest lucky break of his so far so unlucky life. Foggy seems intent on letting him pretend to be a free person, even allows him to cover the collar he is forced to wear. Matt is already hiding his senses, so his legal status is just one more thing he has to conceal from the world now.

    Unfortunately, Matt still has the Devil inside, and when Foggy gives him enough freedom to start coming home with bruises, explanations to his owner become a bit tricky…

    (Note: Slavery AU focused on characterization, recovery, Daredevil shenanigans and plot, and Matt doing his best to fight for justice in the most unjust scenario he's yet been in. No non-con between Matt and Foggy.)

    Summary

    “Always think,” Rocky shifted his ball closer, bumping into Grace’s shoulder. Grace bumped it back, lips quirking up. “Think, think, think. Human brain never shut off. What Grace think about, question?”

    Grace went quiet for a moment and looked away. “Uh, my… ‘mate.’ Back on Earth. I remember I had one.”

    A series of happy little squeaks and chirps erupted from Rocky, his claws waving in frantic little jazz hands. He must have been excited to realize Grace had someone waiting for him back at home. Grace still didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, and likely never would. He shakes the thought away and focuses, eyes half-lidded and flickering back toward Rocky. The display pulled a genuine smile from Grace, though he wasn’t sure there was anything happy about the man back on Earth who grabbed him like a dog.
    ________________

    Alternatively, Grace has a flashback and subsequent revelations about himself and the person he was dating back on Earth. It affects him more than he thought it would.

    Summary

    Why would Grace be so scared to admit that he needs help? On Erid, when someone somehow falls sick, the entire family gathers to take care of them. Was that not customary on Earth? Rocky could hardly stomach the thought… humans suffering, cold and alone, with no one to comfort them…

    OR: Ryland Grace gets a nasty cough when the Hail Mary is only about halfway to Erid. Rocky doesn’t know what to do, or how to help, until it might be too late.

    Summary

    "Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.

    And there was a needle coming towards me.

    Wait."
    ...

    Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

    Summary

    Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.

    After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
    Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.
