Simon wouldn’t meet his eyes, but Grace was close enough to see his resolve breaking. He could see how desperately Simon wanted to give in. And he was suddenly, painfully aware of how close they were standing to one another.

“I’m not trusting your hunger. I’m trusting you.”

“Okay. We’ll start over.” The man placed his hands over his own heart as he spoke. Gentle. “My name is Dr. Ryland Grace. Most everyone just calls me Grace. You can too, if you’d like. Can I ask you what your name is?”
Grace. Maybe his soul hadn’t been abandoned.
OR

The Grace, the Body, the Eucharist by Shineyybean

Summary
There was nothing, nothing in this whole, entirely vast universe, as perfect as Ryland Grace’s mouth.
Simon knew himself to be good for close to nothing.
But one thing he'd always excelled at was the act of worship.
He’d long said goodbye to purpose as he’d known it.
If his new direction in life, his singular, daily task was the endless, mindless veneration of his Savior, the adoration of the singular star in his vast, dark sky, he would find comfort in it.
More than that, he’d find pleasure in it.Or about how Simon confesses (sort of) and things take an unexpected turn.

Summary
“Teach me how you like it, Dr. Grace." Simon's breath on his neck was warm and wet and intoxicating. His vision blackened.
He'd never felt like this before.
The next words from Simon's mouth nearly caused him to choke on the saliva pooling in his mouth.
"I’d love to learn a thing or two from you.”Simon is Ryland Grace's demisexual awakening. They're being real freaky about it, too.
Based on and inspired by this gorgeous art by ollicrillix.

Summary
Still, as they stare at each other, waiting for someone's resolve to crack, Grace holds his gaze. He never looks away. Never denying him that connection.
“Did you want to come in?” Grace suddenly asks, voice quiet and raspy.
Simon blinks. Casts his gaze aside. Shifts his weight. He must want that, right? Why else would his subconscious drag him here?
TLDR; Simon sleepwalks into Grace's room

“You built a teleporter?” Grace swallows. “You – did I know you could do that? Did you know you could do that?”
“Could not do that.” Rocky lowers himself back down, fiddling with the device. “Had theory. Much trial and error. Build long time. Should work.”
“Should – it should work?” Grace sputters. “You haven't tested it?”
“Not without you,” Rocky says, as if that should be obvious.

Summary
“Can you talk?” Simon asks. “Or are you past that?”
In response, Grace licks his neck. Okay then. Definitely past the point of coherent verbal communication.
“Stop that,” Simon says mildly, shrugging his shoulder to jostle Grace, who grunts when Simon’s collarbone thuds into his nose and tightens his grip on Simon’s shirt in mute protest.

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.- Language:

Summary
The blond’s hands are raised up above his head, slowly, like a trail of blood from an open wound, blue eyes set on him from the ground, footsteps cautiously making their way towards Simon’s bed ladder. Simon’s knees come to curl in towards his stomach, his arm going to wrap itself securely around his legs, only for the sensation to never reach them. A quick glance to his empty shoulder, and Simon looks towards the top of the bunk, blinking away the burning in his eyes.
Ryland is approaching him like he’s a rabid dog, and, for once, Simon wishes someone didn’t see him as one that bites.
Simon wishes that he didn’t feel like a ghost walking around in his own skin, anymore. He was so, so tired.
“I’m not an animal,” Simon huffs out, turning his face towards the other human, and Ryland vaguely notes the fact that, in the light, one of his eyes looks a deep, crimson red.
“I didn’t mean to-”
“I know. Nobody ever does.”
OR
Simon has a nightmare, and Ryland has a perfect idea on how to help.

Summary
It started out purely out of scientific curiosity. The staring, that is.
The mutations Simon endured, the teeth, the tongue, the extra bones, the scars on top of his radiation poisoning, the blood- it was all so fascinating, and Grace would always be a scientist by heart.
As they got to know each other over the weeks on Erid, it occurred to him that the staring might be strange, and he should probably stop. Simon would squirm when Grace stared too long, and ended up looking at him in turn until Grace got the hint and focused on something else. Above all else, he did not want to make Simon uncomfortable.
It was hard to keep this promise to himself however, because as soon as he'd first seen Simon in his harness framing his broad shoulders and firm, muscled chest, he knew he was a goner.

Summary
Simon and Ryland Grace were dead before they had been sent on their prospective missions, bothgiven the allusion of a choice they were never allowed to make in the first place. There had only ever been one option for both of them; do your missions and choke on it.
Neither was supposed to be alive. Technically neither of them were, not on paper.
Grace is built of scraps of memories stitched together with massive holes that needed patching, but with kindness pouring out of him like water.
Simon is made of calcified soil, hard packed and sturdy as iron, walls erected to keep it all in, to keep it all safe.
Water can be a corrosive thing, a dangerous thing, a suffocating thing.
But in the right hands, it can create a garden.Bookmarked by AbsintheRain
