    Summary

    Grace misses touch.
    He would be perfectly fine never having it again except for the fact that the last human hands he felt were holding his face in the dirt while he screamed.
    Meanwhile, Rocky is growing agitated-- it is almost his molting cycle, and he has concerns about building a new shell.

    -------------

    Grace thinks it's just coincidence or proximity when Rocky asks him to decorate pieces of the new carapace, or when the pieces he holds don't crumble in his atmosphere. Or when the hand that presses against the xenonite paneling during testing looks incredibly, insanely human.
    It's just him projecting. Rocky wouldn't want that.
    Right?

    Summary

    Rocky can't control his body anymore. This human body is as foreign as it was when he first woke up in it. He tips forward, leaning towards Grace like a sunflower growing towards the sun. "How to— How Grace feel sexual arousal, question?" he asks.

    "Me?" Grace turns to look at him, puzzled. "Oh, you mean the person doing this? Well, there's something called a prostate, and if it's stimulated, the person will derive sexual pleasure from it."

    Grace should not look at him. Especially when he's moving his fingers in and out of his hole. He slides a second finger in—and Rocky watches, eyes dilated, as Grace's hole stretches around his fingers.

    Summary

    What if Grace returned to earth in time to see the people he knew? What if he could confront Stratt for sending him on the mission? What if when he got to Erid, he and some Eridians went back to Earth almost immediately?

    Summary

    ”Means holy, like something special. To be worshipped.” They explain.

    Oh.

    Oh shoot, wait.

    -_—_

    Something to be worshipped.

    I scoff at myself, gathering my stuff and heading up to my house.

    Imagine.

    Summary

    5 months ago, a series of space stations calling themselves the "Coalition of Iron" appeared throughout the 40-Eridani system, bearing a bewildering and terrifying story of a universe without stars, a humanity on the verge of extinction, and a moon made of human blood.

    Simon survived the Eel and the Eye, only to reimprisoned as soon as he was pulled out, subject to the whims of scientists who seek answers in his biology. Now, Ava's dumped him into the custody of a new scientist, separate from the COI, a complete unknown. He's learned better by now than to hope.

    Dr. Ryland Grace is pulled from his peaceful life on Erid to retrieve a specimen from the COI, an organism mutated by prolonged exposure to the blood ocean of AT-5

    He expects an amoeba. They bring him a person.

    Summary

    Null Hypothesis (H₀)

    - A statistical hypothesis which asserts that no significance, relationship, or difference exists between specified populations or variables.

    Grace didn't know the bloody man he just pulled out from a submarine and Simon didn't know the blonde who took him out from it either.

    But why is it that they find familiarity in each other?

     

    Or:

    Two dudes find out they’re from alternate timelines through wonky research while being amnesiacs and an alien rock is just happy to help them.

    Summary

    Rocky promised Grace that he had a big, big surprise to give him when he arrives at Erid after a long expedition. What the human didn’t expect was that this “surprise” was barely hanging on, 1.80 meters tall and the only person that Grace had seen in many years.

    Summary

    Given a chance to live by a God that no one bothered to listen to, Simon finds himself on a planet that shouldn't exist and Grace finds himself a companion that he never imagined to come to life. Human connection and genuine kindness could be considered a bravery, others say it's the bare minimum.

    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

    Summary

    He pictured Simon behind him pressed all along his back, hot and heavy and breathing like he was barely holding himself together. Simon’s hand over his mouth. Grace wanted it so fucking bad. He wanted Simon wound past thinking, past all that restraint. Wanted Simon’s teeth at his neck and Simon’s hand low on his stomach, holding him still while Grace fell apart against him. He wanted Simon making those broken growling sounds into his skin like Grace was prey, or food, or home, or some fucked-up fourth thing Grace didn’t have a word for.

     

    Grace’s knees bent; he was barely standing.

     

    He bit down on his lip to keep quiet and pushed his fingers deeper.

     

    A low breath came from in front of him.

     

    “Grace.”

     

    His eyes snapped open.

     

    Shit.

    Summary

    Loneliness is a funny thing. It creeps in slowly, wraps itself around your bones and rests in your soul. You don't realize it's there until it's all encompassing, and when you do realize it's there, it's impossible to escape. It hurts. It hurts in a way you can’t see, it grips your throat and digs its fingers into your mind until your eyes are watering and you crave touch more than you need food.

    Ryland Grace was very lonely.

    Summary

    During their journey back to Erid, Grace and Rocky find themselves in a starless void. At first they assume there must be a scientific explanation, but when they find a man welded into a submarine they realize things are far worse than they imagined.

    ---

    Grace wakes to the sound of Mary and Rocky talking over each other. Blinking away the haze of sleep, Grace groans as he tries to focus on understanding what the heck is going on. Given Rocky’s voice is both closer and louder, his brain parses what he’s saying first.

    “Grace, what’s that mean, question? What’s going on, question?”

    Ok, not the most helpful. Sitting up, sleep properly leaves Grace’s mind as he listens to the message on the overhead.

    “Forward star detection, lost. Aft star detection, lost. Starboard star detection, lost. Port star detection, lost. Ventral star detection, lost. Dorsal star detection, lost. Autopilot offline.” Mary says, repeating the message.

    The exterior cameras on the Hail Mary use the positions of the stars around it to calculate it’s own position. That’s how the autopilot knows when to make course corrections.

    Summary

    Simon wakes slowly, booting up one atom at a time. The first thing he registers is that he's pleasantly warm— not the suffocating heat of whatever iron lung they had sent him down to die in. The second thing he registers is the plushness of whatever surface he's lying on. There's no harsh metal boiling against his skin. He doesn't immediately open his eyes. His brain feels syrupy and full of fog all at once, and he finds it rather nice to just exist in this soft in-between. He'd done good, hadn't he? Was this Heaven? He died on that ship, in the mouth of a vengeful beast that couldn't recognize its own ghastlyness. Heaven was nice, Simon decided. He liked Heaven.

    Summary

    "Grace! Grace, come look at screen, statment!" Grace rolled his eyes for a moment before he shuffled his way over to where Rocky was perched on the chair, taking a look at the screen his friend was almost excitedly pointing at. "...What the hell?" "Looks like liquid, but moon too small for liquid. We take more look, question?"

    Grace flicked a couple of switches and pressed a few buttons, and the Hail Mary ran a quick scan of the moon. And pinged that there was, somehow, LIFE somewhere within the liquid. "Yeah. We'll take a closer look."

    Summary

    "I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."

    Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

    Summary

    They both crave contact, one a sinner at the fount of the divine and the other a coward faced with a fighter.
    Grace is beautiful, forged from starlight and soft cloth and every good thing. He loves to explore and learn and his hands are so gentle that when he works on Simon, it doesn’t even feel like dissection. It’s the feather-light brush of divinity on his skin.
    God took Adam’s rib, touched mankind once and never again. How lucky is Simon, a sinner, Son of Eden and cast in Cain’s image, to touch the divine every day?
