rocky is perfect mate, question?

Gracerocky is for the intellectuals, actually 💅

You know how fucked up it would be if Rocky died first? Like, Grace, Rocky, and Adrian all expect Grace to die first because humans have shorter life spans and Grace has already been through a lot health wise due to the mission. But then one day Rocky gets sick, really sick, similar to what his crew went through. And of course Grace, Adrian, and the greater Eridian community do everything possible to save him but it’s not enough. Rocky passes away, grateful to have his loved ones at his side, leaving behind a grief and survivor’s guilt stricken Grace and Adrian. Wouldn’t that be super fucked up?

trans man grace who’d been saving up for top surgery, but was sent off in the hail mary before he could get it. when he wakes up in the hail mary he’s even more miserable and angry than he canonically is.

cut to grace and rocky on the way home to erid, rocky asks why grace is still upset, they’ve saved the stars after all. grace comes out to him and expresses his wish for top surgery that never got granted.

after rocky gets over the confusing mess that is human gender, he ends up giving grace top surgery himself on the ship. he can’t stand the fact that grace has been so upset this whole time and rocky can fix :( i like to imagine it has a warm intimate-ness that is full of love and care, bonus points if they have to do it whilst grace is awake because he can’t stand the thought of being unconscious again.

grace gets to live happy on erid and rocky is constantly very proud at how good he is at human surgery which he reminds grace of all the time (much to grace’s amusement), as he helps massively with grace’s recovery.

grace lives the life on erid that was snatched away from him on earth.

imagine never falling in love and spending your life wondering if you’re broken because you just don’t seem to have romantic or sexual feelings for anyone until suddenly you’re shot into space, meet a rock shaped alien, and are immediately plagued day and night by the overwhelming desire to crawl into his carapace and live there forever

[pcuaccount]

Do you think Grace ever like tries to mention something kinky and gets flustered cause he’s so used to human sensitivities and he’s like “dang, Rocky might think I’m weird” and Rocky is like “Grace human. Rocky already biggest freak on Erid.” Like there is no one upping the rock who chose to mate with a weird limbed mostly water alien that reacts to light that Eridian’s can’t see. Grace realizing and points at him like he just realized Rocky has an alien fetish and Rocky is pointing right back and calling him a hypocrite

Imagine being one of the people who were involved with the Petrova taskforce. You were stolen away to live on a damn boat y'all started to call the 'Stratt's Vat' because humor was just about the only thing y'all had to cope with the everything. Finally after twenty-six long years you get called because the band is getting back together to finish the mission.

You get there and not everyone you knew back then is also there. Some people were lost in the famine and wars and disasters, as was inevitable. Some simply died of old age. But you are there, and whoever's still alive is also there, and you're going to see this damn thing to completion, damnit.

You have no idea what you'll find on the probes. Perhaps it will be a miracle. Perhaps it'd be the start of something you'll need to finish. Perhaps it'd be a single message informing you that there was fuck-all to find on Tau Ceti, actually, and the entire thing was a colossal waste of time, money and lives.

There are video logs on the hard disks. And all sorts of recordings. You find out only one of the three astronauts survived the coma, which is not good to put it mildly, but at least the guy who survived is the one who was kinda really vital for the whole thing, so there's that.

You know the guy. You've spoken with the guy. You've seen the guy survive on a diet of coffee and candy. The guy was basically the second-in-command to the whole circus on the Stratt's Vat and somehow seemed to not even be aware of it. You can't help but wonder if the guy could really pull this off.

You watch the guy struggle with an amnesia. You watch the guy meet a fucking alien. You watch the fucking alien move into the ship and the guy is not just letting it, he's actively helping build it an habitat.

You watch the guy bitch and moan about the fucking alien. You watch them bicker and stumble around the uncharted territory of a shared mission. You watch the guy stop bitching and moaning about the fucking alien. You watch them messing around and singing bloody karaoke.

You watch them risk their lives for one another.

The guy used to be friendly but reserved, back then. People were hooking up left and right, and the guy seemed confused at best and uncomfortable at worst, when facing that fact. The guy's reaction to the implication he was hooking up with his commanding officer was a resolute "Are You All Out Of Your Flippin' Minds". The guy was told one of the reasons he was going to be sent last minute on that ship was because of his lack of any significant emotional connection with anybody.

You watch the way the guy slowly starts to change, and how he acts and talks and smiles and looks at the fucking alien. The guy is staring at that thing in a way that suggest he is gunning for first place in the 'yearner of whatever fucking relativistic year it is in space' competition. The guy is looking at the fucking alien like the fucking alien has hung every single star in the cosmos.

You look around because you think you might be losing your mind. Is everyone else watching this shit? Is any of this real? What the fuck is going on? Hello??? Am I going insane???

Then the guy's last message tells you he's going back to the fucking alien, actually. Have fun with the solution I gave you to save the sun. I'm gonna go save my fucking alien, see you. Or not. Because I'm going to die to save the fucking alien, by choice.

And you sit there and you have to reckon with the fact that the power of friendship and whatever mushy shit the guy feels for the fucking alien is going to save your entire fucking planet.

What the fuck.

I keep occasionally smashing my face into the fact that some people DON'T ship Grace and Rocky, and like, I keep forgetting why. At first I'm always like, reasonable, thinking 'ok, I guess some people find the inevitable codependency and degree of their soul-melding a bit off putting. Like, I don't get why anyone would find that off putting, because the way they are so entwined with one another to the point you literally cannot pry them apart without killing them both is what elevates this ship to god tier levels, but some people prefer softer, more vanilla things, so I guess there's that'.

And then I get hit with the second punch of this one-two I keep forgetting and re-find out that a lot of people don't ship Grace and Rocky just because Rocky Looks Like That. And I just. Cannot compute. What do you mean you have a mental block about one of the finest ships of the last decade just because one of them is a rock with rock legs. Where's your whimsy. Ryland 'wet pathetic meow meow' Grace did not almost die 3490 times for our sins just for you to be like 'bbbuuuttt one of them is a rrrooooock'. What are we doing. Humanity is lost.

The Petrova line being a literal embiodment of the red string theory for Rocky and Grace

[xxthedeadgodxx]

okay so this is ryland grace and rocky, they come as a bonded pair please don’t separate them they need each other or they’ll kill themselves sorry.

[shockvire]

idk if people have pointed this out before so forgive me if im repeating someone elses point but has anyone acknowledged that rocky and grace were sort of literally brought together by a red string of fate (the petrova line)

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.
