    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

     

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    How many times in his life had Simon stared out into the fading stars, and heard others calling out to deities or a universe that didn’t care…or if it did, was powerless to fix anything. Simon didn’t know what was worse. And then, just when all his hope had been thrown alongside him into a Blood Ocean on a mysterious moon… he finds himself lost to a flash of light. Maybe the C.O.I were right all along, Grace is the true salvation.

    Summary

    An Eridian mining crew find a human welded into a stranded ship on the surface of a moon. They bring him back to Erid, to the only other human they know.

    Something in Grace's chest flickered into life. He had buried it so long ago that he hardly knew what it was anymore, and so he took off his glasses and cleaned them on the edge of his cardigan, as if Rocky's words were a smudge he could clear away before finding the will to hope.

    “Ah…” his words failed halfway out of his mouth. Rocky chittered at him, a little sound of encouragement. “There’s another human? Here. And… alive?”

    ** Work is complete but new chapters may be added if the whimsy takes me,,, latest chapter (6) posted on 12th April! **

    Summary

    “Grace!” he calls, tumbling towards me. “Grace! There is a human! Human!” His carapace is shuddering and he’s moving his weight from claw to claw.

    Okay. What?

    “What?” Not so shockingly, that’s all I can say. I’m pretty sure my jaw is making its way to the floor.

    He steps towards me once more. “There is a human, Grace! Another human!”

    Now I have questions. So so so many questions. Does he really mean that there’s another human? Did someone from Earth come to my rescue by some miracle? Would that even be possible? I feel my eyes begin to water at the sheer thought of interacting with another person again.

    “What?” is all I say dumbly. Nice one, Ryland.

    Or

    Grace and Simon meet by fate, and being the only two humans on the planet, they have some much needed bonding time.
