    Summary

    Grace doesn't have an exact timeline of his decline, but he does remember being only four months out when he finally notices. His nails are brittle and breaking, his eyes have been gaunt for a while. He's the thinnest he's ever been in his life and just carrying equipment around the lab is starting to wind him. He's able to ignore it for a good while. To smile too widely at Rocky and distract him with the newest game or movie to watch.

    Grace is in the lab when it happens. When he's finally forced to face the facts. Looking back, he'll call himself vain for that very moment being the turning point. He's doing his routine checks in the morning in between gulps of Taumoeba slurry. He runs his hands through his hair. it's a mindless action, one he does without realizing most days. When his fingers fall away, a chunk of hair follows. Like his nails, his hair has gotten brittle and prone to breaking. It hasn't just fallen out before. Not in such a large quantity or all a once.

    Ryland Grace is dying.

    The trip back to Erid isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Grace faces his mortality.

    Summary

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

    or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

    Summary

    “So, you want me to be your mate?” I ask, my stomach full of delicious butterflies.

    “Of course, what else would all of this be for?

    “I dunno,” I grin. “Maybe you just wanted to have some sexy fun with an alien.”

    Adrian lets out a tinkling little burst of laughter.

    “I’ve heard you are very good with your hands. But I have designs on all of you, Grace. If you'll have me.”

    “We’ll see.” I push myself awkwardly up off the floor. “Let's have our big important date first.”

    ***

    Follow up to 'I am healthy, I am whole, but I have poor impulse control'

    Adrian, Grace and Rocky work to establish something special on a planet that is pretty incredibly uncool with that.
