Uhh, is this thing on?

Summary:

After saving Rocky and his planet, Grace now lives in solitary peace on Erid, teaching pebbles and hanging with his best friend whenever Rocky has a moment to spare.

But that easy tranquillity is interrupted when Rocky drags Grace away from one of his classes to help save a human found on a newly discovered moon in the solar system. This is the first time Grace has encountered another human in years, and despite his loneliness, he has questions both about the man and the strange moon that impossibly appeared in an instant, moving in time with the other planetary bodies as though pretending it belonged.

Curiosity is the name of the game, and this stranger certainly knows more than he lets on, but with all their prying, Grace and Rocky’s thirst for knowledge might lead them down a path no being was ever meant to bear witness to.

It is rated explicit for future chapters, but there are no major triggers or warnings (though each chapter may have a small content warning if it discusses something that someone might be squeamish about)

It is a Slow Burn, Injury Recovery, Post Canon Fix-It fic with no major triggers or warnings (though there is some description of injuries).

The fic has been rated Explicit for eventual spice, but we've got a lot of healing to do before we get there, so strap in!!

BloodyMary / IronMary has completed rotted my brain😌✨ So, I just had to put whatever mush was left of my brain into the world, and from the pink gloop, this fic was born.
