Thinking about the ways Rocky and Grace balance each other out, aside from the whole scientist engineer thing.
Like, despite his big act of cowardice, Grace is usually pretty impulsive. Like the real reason he was the one who needed to go to Tau Ceti (unbeknownst to Stratt) was because there is no way that the original team would have been as uncautious about approaching an alien species.
I'm not saying they would have ignored Rocky, but I'm saying that with the whole planet at stake they probably wouldn't have been as basically trusting, which in turn would have made team work harder, and that team work eventually led to the discovery of Taumoeba.
Stratt's whole reason for bringing Grace onto the project originally was that she knew he had a reputation for coming up with wild new ideas and standing by them, and she needed somebody with that kind of original thinking.
The downside to this, however, is that Grace doesn't tend to think through consequences and will often do self-destructive things on impulse (“staggering waste of carbon”).
Rocky, meanwhile, is actually deceptively cautious.
Like he comes across as very direct and forward at first— making first contact with the alien, moving into his place, going fishing on Adrian, etc— but you gotta think that this is after like multiple decades of not achieving anything.
Not achieving anything because he knew that he didn't have the expertise, while he had more than enough fuel to go back home and knew that his whole planet was at stake.
Grace, I think, would have turned back and asked for help in that situation, and turning back would have been the right thing to do. Like there would have been a huge risk associated— what if whatever kept Rocky safe from the Mystery Space Disease stopped working and then there was nobody left to communicate with Erid or study Tau Ceti?— but realistically the only way they were gonna solve the problem was by figuring out what went wrong and getting more scientists out there.
(Unrealistically, but fortunately for Rocky, an intelligent alien with super advanced tech came along. But it's not like he could have predicted that!)
Also all of the first contact stuff is very much on Rocky's terms. Rocky sends the first message (which Grace catches with his hands, while Rocky uses a robot). Rocky sets up the tunnel. Like if Grace had been aggressive, Rocky's managing of the situation is such that he wouldn't have been in much danger, and he doesn't actually move into the Hail Mary until he's certain that Grace is harmless.
And both of their major traits are needed to save their planets.
Erid and Earth are saved because Grace figured out how to selectively breed an alien species with no thought whatsoever as to what other traits he might accidentally be breeding in. (And yeah, maybe if he'd thought about it he would have been able to prevent the whole xenonite disaster from happening… but equally he might just have realised how dangerous it was, and how impossible to account for every variable and never done it at all.)
They're also saved because Rocky manages to keep Grace from dying of burnout that whole time, and because he introduces revolutionary new ideas to Grace like “what if we look at the information more slowly and use visual aids to see if we can think of a different way to tackle the problem, rather than just going with our first reaction”.
Rocky alone would have died up there without having achieved a thing.
Grace alone would have died up there because he tried to do an EVA sleep deprived or subjected himself to multiple Gs without putting in any safety precautions (he actually tries to do this in the book. After the Adrian incident revealed why its a bad idea. No Rocky is not thrilled by this).
Only together can they save the stars.
Normalize being so happy and excited about shit that you proceed to promptly eat shit.

feels like a real step back that with all the sexual freedom available to us we moved to Hookup Culture instead of Having Sex With Friends Culture

“What the fuck is that?” You look up from the cat on your lap to see Titus looking confused as ever.
You chuckle, “A cat.”
“Yeah and why the fuck is it here?” He crosses his arms over his chest, staring down at the animal.
“I wanted a pet and a dog was too much work, so I got a cat instead. This is Titus,” you smile at the grey tabby cat.
The human Titus cocks a brow at you, “You named it after me?”
You shrug, “The animal shelter said he hates everyone but when I met with him, he was all cuddles. Reminded me of you,” you look back up at your human Titus with a smirk.
He scowls, “I am not like that,” he murmurs as he nears you.
Titus the Cat immediately hisses at his namesake.
“I hate it.”
You can’t help but cackle, “Well tough shit, because he’s mine and you’re not getting rid of him! He’s my baby!” You nuzzle the tabby cat and he purrs at the affection.
“We could’ve just made a real baby instead. That’s more fun…” Titus murmurs as he exits the room, slightly dejected.
Titus the Human absolutely refuses to have sex with you if Titus the Cat is in the room.
“He doesn’t know what’s going on, Ti.”
“But what if he does and he decides to claw at my dick or something?”
“…You can’t be serious.”
“I wouldn’t have to worry about this if we just had a real baby instead.”
Now here’s Robby x short!reader
“Well, well. It’s a dead man walking!” You quip as Robby heads toward the hub.
He snorts and shakes his head at you, “Isn’t a little too early for your shit talk, Smalls?”
“Never too early, Gigantor,” you reply back with a smirk.
He hums and leans down, pressing a kiss to your lips, “Morning.”
“Morning. If you can’t tell, I’m a little delirious.”
Robby chuckles, “You don’t say?”
“I can’t wait to be back on day shift and sleep like a regular person!”
“Hey! I thought you liked being a Nightcrawler,” Jack says as he circles around the hub.
You shrug, “You guys are built different.”
Both Robby and Jack both chuckle. Robby then asks Jack, “You treatin’ my girl okay, Abbot?”
“She’s a trooper…when she’s not being an annoying little shit.”
“…I’m not afraid to steal your prosthetic and beat you with it, Abbot.”
Jack chuckles, “So much fire in such a tiny body.”
You go to launch at Jack and Robby holds you back, “Alright, honey. Ease up. We’re gonna do hand offs and then you can go home. There’s food waiting for you when you get there.”
“Yay!” You hug your partner and then go finish up checking on your patients.
Both Robby and Jack’s eyes follow you. They shake their heads in disbelief.
“She’s like a gremlin.”
“Careful, if you get water on her, she might multiply,” Jack murmurs, clapping a hand on Robby’s shoulder and guiding him to the South wing.
