Summary
Grace and Rocky survived the trip to Erid. Now, all Grace has to do is live on a planet meant to kill him, charm his best friend's mate, and figure out why all these Eridians keep giving him rocks. Easy right? As long as he doesn't die of scurvy, first.

Summary
“Why me?” He made no attempt to hide the exasperation from his voice.
“A question I’m sure you’ve asked yourself many times, at least when it comes to Arthur.” The look Hosea gave him was too heavy and knowledgeable, oppressive as this goddamned air. Charles gave no response. “In any case, I know that boy has a talent for finding himself stuck in colorful situations, to say the least. I can’t trust someone like Bill or John to go after him without making things worse for us all. I need someone with some sense.”
“Some sense,” Charles replied flatly. He wondered how much sense Hosea would attribute to him if he knew how foolish he’d been more or less any time he was alone in a space with Arthur Morgan. Hosea only nodded encouragingly.
“I know he listens to you, respects you. If you told him it’s time to come back I’m certain he’d return.” Hosea leaned a little closer, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial hush. “And if he has a black eye and some bruised ribs it won’t be the worst thing that happens to him.”
Charles is asked to retrieve Arthur from whatever sorry corner of Saint Denis he's found himself in, and after a drunken fight, he starts to see the cowboy differently.

Summary
Arthur rides away from camp in anger, but Charles follows him, refusing to leave him alone with whatever is weighing on him. Their tense argument slowly turns into honesty, forcing Arthur to admit that Charles’s care affects him more than he wants to confess. Beneath the quiet forest and moonlight, Arthur finally stops pretending, and Charles gives him the safety, patience, and closeness he has been afraid to want.

Summary
“We call this ♪♫.”
“The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.
And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.
“What?” I ask.
“Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.
“It’s a rock.”
He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.
“Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”
