    Summary

    Grace has come to terms with the fact that he will never see another human or Earth again. And that's okay, because he's happy on Erid with Rocky and Adrian. However, with the Hail Mary in mint condition, the Eridians propose that he travels to a red moon in a planetary system with a dead sun, along with Adrian and Rocky, to determine just why it's so...weird. The answer's no. Obviously.

    Until they hear a human distress signal coming from that exact moon, and suddenly everything changes.

    Summary

    Somehow, in some twisted, unbelievable turn of events, the fate of the entire planet, billions upon billions of people, had fallen on Ryland Grace's shoulders. It was a burden he wasn't fit to carry. A burden that he could feel in all its massiveness weighing down on his chest, squeezing his lungs until all he could eke out of them where wheezing, barely-there breaths.

    He pressed his forehead harder against his knees and curled his fingers tight around some of the fabric of his pants, his knuckles turning white. He couldn't—this wasn't how it was supposed to—

    His life—his kids—

    Simon.

    Or Ryland Grace is a middle school teacher turned lead astrophage scientist. Simon Fischer is a convict turned engineering specialist. Surely absolutely nothing could go wrong on a cosmic scale because neither of them are astronauts.

    Summary

    Grace's tongue nervously licks the front of his teeth. He taps at his door frame, waiting, searching for another sign— but Simon remains, seemingly settled on the idea that Grace will give, first.

    Grace inhales sharply, selfishly, like he's stealing something from Simon. But his heart, too, is a fickle thing, so as much as he wants to prolong his lonely mornings, he doesn’t find it in himself to shut the door on Simon.

     

    Or, an introspective character study on Grace and murdering one's desires. The interconnected narrative of white individualism, ego, and love for thy neighbour.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Nothing beats cuddles, if you ask me,” Grace said, trying to lighten the mood.

    Simon’s frown only deepened. “I wouldn’t really know.”

    Grace’s smile dropped. He fidgeted with his glasses, an idea already forming, but no. No, that’s a lot to ask. Too much. They’re barely friends. More like roommates of pure circumstance who mostly get along.

    But what if…?

    “Would you…” Grace started. Stopped. Tried again. “This is like, totally no pressure, and you can say no. But, uh, if you wanted to, we could, um—”

    “Spit it out, man,” Simon said, not unkindly, if a little annoyed.

    “Wouldyouwanttotrycuddlingwithme?”

    Simon blinked. “What?”

    Or... against all the odds, Simon finds himself in Ryland Grace's universe. This is how they find home.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace hated dreaming. He dreamt he would become a successful scientist, that failed. He dreamt of being able to live a quiet life as a school teacher, that also failed. Even his actual dreams seemed to mock him, showing him glimpses of his life back on earth. Places he'd never see again. Things he'd never do again. People he'd never talk to again. That's what you assume, anyway, until one of those people gets yanked out of a submarine full of blood... in the middle of space.

    Or; Ryland stumbles across and rescues a man who was also left to die alone in space, and they try their very hardest to live a peaceful little life together on Erid... but old, swiss-cheesed memories and strange, inhuman mutations keep getting in the way.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace had never intended to leave humanity behind and sometimes he missed it so desperately he clawed at the walls of the Hail Mary like a caged animal.

    Simon came from a world so ravaged he wasn't even sure what humanity was other than a writhing, screaming thing that refused to die and he yearned for a goddamn break from the cruelty.

    Three years into the journey to Erid, the SM-13 drifts into their path and Grace can't handle the idea of abandoning something human made so far from home, the last human made thing he might ever see beyond his own ship. What he and Rocky bring aboard is more than just a floating tin can. The half dead man almost certainly means Grace will starve before he makes it to Erid, but it's a sacrifice he's willing to make if it means spending even a fraction of his remaining time with another human. Rocky knows there's something wrong with their new companion more than skin deep, even if Grace seemed to be willfully ignoring it in favor of enjoying human company again. If it keeps Grace happy, Rocky will do whatever it takes to keep this new secret.

    Summary

    Grace has just recovered from the shock of Simon falling into his ocean, and now there's another guy? Fantastic.

    What's the saying again? “Once is an accident, twice is coincidence?” Grace isn't sure if a second man falling through a universal portal is a coincidence, but it's certainly not an accident. Hopefully.

    Summary

    [FINISHED WORK WITH EPILOGUE ONESHOTS]
    Ryland Grace has officially lived on Erid for one whole year. Everything's set up to his liking. He has food, a lab, and his best friend who visits him on the daily.
    Sure, he's the only human person here. But given his background, he doesn't mind suffering from touch-deprivation. He's safe right where he is.
    Well, not for long. Now, there's a new guy. Who's pragmatic and flat when it comes to any form of expression.
    That's fine! Grace can deal with that. He has no worries...
    And why does Rocky keep trying to push the idea of them dating.

    Or here's my take on the Ryland Grace x Simon ship. I had a vision, I followed it to the end.

    Summary

    A different take on Bloodymarytober Day 1: Celestial

    Simon was not used to seeing people with so many freckles, the lack of sun exposure greatly contributed to that fact, and on Eden there really wasn’t a reason to expose your skin other than your face and hands with how cold it could get in the station. Seeing Grace so carefree with his back exposed to the fake light to bring back the natural faded spots on his back made Simon want to run his fingers over Grace’s skin. To Simon it was as if Grace had his very own star map on his back; and there’s nothing he craved more than to trace constellations with gentle touches. He could spend hours memorizing and worshipping each pattern and mark every beach day but he doesn’t; because he knows it's not his place. They’re not together like that as much as he would want to; despite sharing a home and a bed and waking up with legs tangled and arms holding each other. Physical contact was a necessity, Simon understood that… so, as much as he yearns to be able to kiss Grace every morning, or pull his body closer every night and run his fingers down Grace’s back he won't do it.

    Summary

    If Simon deluded himself, if he let himself slip into that living, breathing, gasping warmth, it felt an awful lot like he was right back in the arms of his mother. Maybe that's why death, the thing that had haunted Simon for as long as he could remember, wasn't so daunting.

    Simon got one last hug from his mother before he felt his body shredding itself apart, before he felt something that was not him before but was apart of him now, reaching out and out and out until his already-ruined eardrums caught the last agonized shriek of the eel.

    or, Simon is asleep for several days. He dreams.

    Summary

    His eyes drifted to the gravestone, and he squinted against the darkness to make out the words engraved upon it. He first took note of the years marked. The man had only been thirty-nine years old when he’d passed. Next, Simon’s gaze passed over the epitaph, which read, Find someone to be brave for.

    Finally, as Simon shoveled the last bit of dirt into the grave, he read the name of the man whose body would soon be studied by the scholars of Eden. It was, he decided, a name worth remembering.

    Dr. Ryland Grace.

    Simon has seen countless dead bodies in his time working as a resurrectionist for Eden, as it has been his job to retrieve corpses for their scholars to study. Usually the corpses don't stand up on their own, though. They also aren't usually so hungry.

    Summary

    There had always been a few hard-set rules to being an angel.
    1: Humanity is your top priority.
    2: You are your kin, and your kin are you. One in all. All in one.
    3: Be faithful and true to your divine mission.
    4: You will remain neutral unless a situation must be acted upon.
    5: Some inner workings of the cosmos are beyond us and shall remain that way.
    6: Living amongst humans is permitted but is an honor, and shall be treated as such.

    And finally, seared in all the angels minds like a branding iron…
    7: THE EYE LIES. DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT OF WHICH WE CAME.

     

    Or: Angels exist, they come from the Blood Eye-God in Ironlung. Ryland Grace is a literal angel, Simon is the Butcher destined for hell; they fall in love, shenanigans ensue. Oh and neither of them handle the divine in any sane manner. Also Rocky is here :)
