    Summary

    Simon knew better than to trust the intentions of the man who saved him. Everyone wanted something. Even Ryland Grace, who had a ship full of everything a man could need. The only thing the scientist lacked was human company.

    Which meant that Grace wanted something only another person could give.

    Summary

    There is nothing heavier than a guilty man’s conscience. There is nothing bloodier than a murderer’s hands still clutching the knife. There is nothing more pathetic than holding the truth while bathing in lies.

    Carl isn’t sure when all three of these statements started to apply to him simultaneously, but he’ll make sure at least one of those doesn’t anymore.

    (Carl has a video recording of the day Ryland Grace’s life on earth ended, and he’s not taking it to the grave, even if it takes decades to convince himself of that.)

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.
