Dare Wolf

Rocky obvs needs a piece of grace to embed in his carapace, like he has for Adrian, right? (Whether it be because theyre mated (romantic or qpr, your choice), because grace is dead, or just because theyre superduper best friends)

But the problem is, you cant do that with human skin.

SO☝

Might i suggest:

One of these bad boys embedded in his skin

What if Grace made a lopsided crochet Rocky and cuddled it every night.

What if Rocky couldn’t stop making xenonite puppets of his alien friend.

which in turn activated my sleeper autist, and we ended up talking about fiber arts, where i learned that this woman is part of the local lacemaker's guild and uses her woodworking experience to carve lace bobbins on the lathe. she then gave me the email address of the woman who runs it, because their group has no social media and only meets when the lead lady says 'everyone come to my house.'

while all of this was going on, another woman walks up. her partner was shopping for wood repair stuff and she heard us talking about fiber- she's a spinner who does historical reenactments nearby. period accurate, processes the wool herself. of course i ask her if they need volunteers and she gives me her contact info
