    Summary

    After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.

    Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

    so so so cute and fun! I absolutely adore the idea of grace speaking/sounding like a pebble when speaking eridian because his vocal chords can only manage simple sounds. also just love how the eridians treat him here, how frantic to find grace rocky was after waking up, and honestly just all the good feels from this

    Summary

    The door opens. 

    Claire chokes. Ryland is standing there in blue PJ pants and an oversized PBS t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes, which are missing his glasses, which makes it even more obvious how similar they look. When his hand falls away, Six watches him process what is standing at his door. His eyes go from Six, down to Claire, then back up to Six. 

    He laughs, high and stressed, then closes the door in their face.

    OR, Six needs help taking care of Claire after they break free from their respective jails. He decides that his younger brother Ryland Grace is the solution.

    THE coltlandgentry bible to me. possibly THE best coltlandgentry au I have ever read. so many incredible relationships in this fic, ryland and Claire, ryland and Colt, ryland and court, claire and Colt, Claire and court, Colt and court, Colt and Jody, ryland and Talia, i'm just listing every single one but I love each one so fucking much. coltlandgentry + Claire this family means the fucking world to me I will never forget them. such a wonderful and beautifully written fic, genuinely perfect in every way.

    Colt's heart tumbles in the face of Ryland's grace.

    FAV FAV FAV LINE I LOVE IT SO MUCH

    foaming at the mouth I love a gray man fic that explores six and fitz's relationship. and the way you can feel the contrast between court and six. the differences and the few similarities that remain. courtland gentry your backstory is so tragic and I love how you come out of it with an air of playfulness I love how we can still feel your youth radiating from you and I love/mourn how it is trained out of you until you are a closed off quiet disciplined hardened killer.

    Outliving your expiration date is a funny feeling. Expiration date, you mouth to yourself, and picture a plastic-wrapped foam tray of ground beef turning into pink-gray mush.

    Summary

    "You can keep taking hits all night," Ryder crosses his arms. "But you know what? I can think of a few people who can't."

    He gestures behind him vaguely, one of the hired muscle nodding. Something in Colt's stomach twists.

    "That brother of yours is in town, isn't he?"

    -

    or: an alternative take on the torture scene from fall guy, coltland twins edition. what if ryder held up his threat?
