Summary
'But against all his better judgement, Grace could not resist the urge to look over his shoulder and what he saw stopped his rabbit heart and he stumbled and it slowed his pace down just enough.
Simon.
Simon was chasing him.'
(Lieutenant Simon Fischer is assigned by Eva Stratt to be the head of Grace's security team. As the project progresses and Launch Day grows nearer, they begin to fall for each other, but the Sun keeps dimming all the same.)

Summary
“I see you.”
Something crosses between universes that should never touch. A vessel built for a blood ocean, broken open in deep space. Inside it, barely alive, a man no one was looking for and a tree that should not exist.
Grace and Rocky did not ask for this. But Grace has not seen another human being in years, and the ruined stranger on his medbay table is, impossibly, alive.
Simon has only ever known one law: everything costs something. Kindness is a debt. Care is a trap. He has no idea what to do with a man who keeps giving him things and asking for nothing back, and no framework at all for the one that terrifies him most: being seen, and not made to pay for it.
Slow-burn. Two profoundly isolated people, one alien best friend, and the long work of learning to be safe.
“Agreed.”

Summary
Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.
The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”
He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”
“Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”
(Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

Summary
Simon’s breath caught in his chest. Even through the haze of pain and death, this man was . . . beautiful. Dirty blonde hair that stuck up every which way it wanted to, shocking blue eyes that felt like they could peer straight through his tainted soul, framed by the crinkles of smile lines, and speaking of, an excited smile, looking at Simon as if he wasn’t a murderer, a monster, someone worthy, maybe even deserving of being saved, of being in their presence. And his wings. The purest white that Simon had ever seen. No one had white wings, the only time he’d seen wings this white was in depictions of . . .
Angels.

Fic inspiration from TikTok user: @purple_jellyfish222
Wing AU where humans are pre-dated from birds. White winged humans quickly went extinct during the Quiet Rapture, and with a vast majority of humanities information on wildlife lost with Earth. So when Simon wakes from what should have been his death to see Ryland Grace, with the pure white wings of swans, he thinks he's met an angel.
