i had the realization earlier today that BaCS Simon has only been feeling eridians in their suits

How about the Stan Bros hanging at the pool?

clearing the air . . .

bonus:

additional note: gotta give some flowers while I’m here. if you’re interested in something similar to my biodome neighbors au, @hana-loves-bumblebees coincidentally made a similar fic series: How to introduce your humans, a guide by (mostly) Adrian the Eridian. recommend checking it out if you want more : )

So there’s a coworker at my job who is a morning grocery stocker and I’ve never seen or met them.

But they like to doodle! So some nights I’ll leave my own doodles and they’ll reply with one of their doodles in my department.

One day I saw that Rocky doodle and made my own next to it. The next day I had a Rocky doodle in my department!!

So…I decided to push a little and drew the “clipboard” with boxes for Project Hail Mary, Iron Lung, and BloodyMary yesterday.

Today I went to check and they replied!!!!!!!

BLOODYMARY IN THE WILD!!!!!!!

the worms in the brain demand bloodymary

AU where Grace dies not long after getting to Erid

Together, Simon and Rocky make a statue of Grace as his grave.

Later, while still grieving, Rocky makes a computer projection of Grace. It can move and still teaches young pebblings about what Grace used to teach in his classes on Erid.

It's not an advanced AI or anything. It only contains the information that Grace had on his pc or had recorded. His voice has been reconstructed to sound as familiar as possible; that was probably an easier part of the process for Rocky.

When Simon first goes up to it, HoloGrace recognizes him. There's user recognition integrated so that communication with it is simpler and slightly more realistic (Rocky still wants to pretend like he can still talk to his bestie). Simon isn't aware of this and instantly tears up. Does he have his Grace back?

They go through a few conversation points, prompted by Rocky cuz Simon was too speechless. At some point, Simon prompts something. Calls the thing "my angel" or something. And HoloGrace does something it's never done before.

It crouches down, gives a genuine smile and says, "Simon, I love you. I know you know that. But I've been too big of a wuss to actually tell you. Argh, maybe I should tonight..."

Rocky checks where that came from cuz he's not entirely sure. It's the last thing he ever recorded. The motion, the emotion, everything.

Simon is sobby at the hologram's feet.
