  • Rocky is a gift but an annoying one lol
  • Grace loses his temper sometimes
  • I DONT MAKE THE RULES
  • you try living with an alien for 3 years and see how patient /you/ feel by the end of it
  • Grace catches the flu bc he has the immune system of a toddler
  • Ryland swears when he’s moody but also Simon’s a bad influence on his vocabulary
  • as somebody who never swore before my college roommates I can confirm this as fact

  Summary

  The obligatory 'Grace saves Simon' fic that everyone has to write because I am /obsessed/. Expect this to be the first in a little series I'm working on because I really want to explore Simon's past a bit more because I love myself a cryptic (traumatic) backstory.

  • Grace wants Simon to Step on Him (AS FRIENDS YUGI)
  • some toxic relationship dynamics but they improve
  • think of it as the toxic equivalent of enemies to lovers except they do like each other

  Summary

  Grace and Simon have begun to fall into a routine-- unfortunately, Simon has zero experience living a /normal/ life, and things start to get #spooky.

  Part 2 of Hole Punch, this installment will include all the fun stuff, romance and eldritch horror alike. Also hoping to explore /Grace's/ backstory and baggage a little bit this time around.
