    Summary

    “Oh, it’s a way for humans to tell each other they’re taken. To remember,” I say, popping a bunch more gummy bears into my mouth. Rocky makes a disgusted sound and I smile as I chew. “It’s just a nice way of showing they have someone they committed to.”

    Rocky freezes. I don’t notice for a good few seconds, not until I get the pressing sensation that he’s staring at me, his lack of eyes irrelevant.

    I turn to face him. He’s jittering, something like shaking from excitement or anger, I’m not sure.

    “Rocky?” I ask.

    “Grace have ring,” he points, and oh no. “Grace have mate? Why Grace no say!?”

    I hold up my hands before he can get too excited, though I can already hear a familiar sound, a repeating joyful and confused song start to escape from him.

    “No, no, no!” he freezes again. Deflates, a little. I sigh and run a hand down my face. “It’s… complicated.”

    Summary

    “I’m not an actor.” Colt chokes out.

    “I know you’re not.” She says gently. Colt wished he was anywhere else but here.

    “But you have plenty of experience in front of a camera already, and… Colt, you’re his twin. You knew him in a way no one else ever could."

    or

    Colt is asked to star as legendary astronaut Ryland Grace in a biopic about him.

    Summary

    “Our star, unto a special person, will bestow a gift,” my mothers lovely singing voice continued. “In the coldest of times, in despair and sorrow, when all hope seems to be lost, an entity will be birthed.”

    I gasped in excitement. “What kind of entity?”

    “Of light and luminance, airy and thin, ethereal in nature. A servant of the stars.”

    Aka, when Grace and Rocky reunite, Rocky tells Grace how he truly feels about him.

    Aka, Rocky being so mushy and sad and so utterly madly in love with Ryland Grace!

    Summary

    Once, his heart would have fluttered with fear as the sound of his outside environment faded, as the thrum and press of Erid and her song came down around him. He would have stumbled, tripped, grown tired from focusing his eyes.

    Grace knows the path now. He is not afraid.

    --

    Grace becomes a Saint on Erid.

    Summary

    On Rocky's grand tour of the Blip-A, eleven point nine light-years from home, Ryland Grace finally remembers the last piece of his Swiss cheese memory. He had never volunteered for this. He had said no. Yet they took him by force anyway. He doesn't want to ruin this perfect moment, but some memories hit too hard to hide, and Rocky has never once let him carry the heavy things alone.
