Summary
Ryland Grace is attending his second year at HereName University. After spending the summer working and living with his cousin Roland "Rocky", he's ready to face the new semester head on with a calendar and a new pack of highlighters.
The thing is, last year he somehow managed to have an entire dorm to himself but this year he isn't so lucky. He's going to have roommates, no doubt about that. Or at the very least a roommate. He's worried sure but it's nothing he can't handle, right?
or; Grace really, really doesn't want to live with his parents.

Summary
Two weeks after the disaster of a conference that was meant to be his academic victory run and the successful start of the rest of his life as a molecular biologist, Ryland Grace escapes to one of Washington’s state parks. Hiding away in his twin brother’s cabin, Ryland has to come to terms with the fact that the life he worked so hard for had slipped right through his fingers because his ego had been larger than his logical brain, and now he’s haunted by a community of scientists and online enthusiasts yearning to run what little is left of his dignity into the ground.
But as a hike, one fuelled mostly by spite because obviously he didn’t learn his lesson just yet, goes south, he’s forced to call the rangers for help. And because life hates him, the ranger who told him not to wander into the woods is the one to take his call.
Something about ranger Simon’s disapproving and definitely disappointed look cuts deeper than he anticipated.

Summary
Grace pressed his lips together and hummed curiously. “That’s a tank of blood?”
“Yes. We need your help studying what’s inside.”
“You mean the blood?” He frowned. “Are you sure you don’t have anyone better for this? Like, aren’t there doctors who spend their entire lives analyzing blood? Surely they’d be—”
He was cut off as a loud thud made him jump. For a brief second, an inhuman hand pressed against the glass. It had five long, thin fingers, with thin membranes stretching between each to make it webbed.
Grace gulped.
Something was in there.

Summary
Hands.
There were hands on him.
Someone was pressing their hand against his chest, before pressing against his neck. Oh they were checking if he was alive, looking for a pulse he assumed. At least he hoped. Seemingly confirming that he was alive, he felt the hands readjust him, before wrapping underneath his arms to lift. He felt his body start to drag against the floor.
---
Simon is used to violence. He was used to following orders without question. Believing in the cause.What he wasn't use to was a literal angel breaking down his walls one gentle touch at a time.

Summary
Simon’s fucking stupid. He’s always been self-deprecating, but right now he really wants to brain himself on a concrete wall.
Why’d he put on the cardigan?
Why’d he put on the goddamn cardigan?
Because it smells too good, obviously.
Noxiously sweet, like his nose is pressed to Grace’s jugular vein. Temptation, deep and dark as sin, flits through his lungs.
Elongated canines strain against Simon’s gums. His tongue taps one and it’s sharp as a blade.
Shit.
He’s playing a dangerous game, testing his willpower like this.
--------
Or, where Grace and Simon live a peaceful life on Erid now. Except, they're hopelessly in love with each other, blind to that fact, and...Simon's a vampire.

Summary
“No human earns salvation through their own merit, rather than a barrier, those flaws shall bring you closer to Grace.”
------------------
Simon stared up at the angel as it slowly kneeled down to Simon’s crawled body. Simon felt undeserving, for an angel was kneeling towards an undeserving convict. He was always told how undeserving he was, by Eden, the COI, The father. He knew. Simon knew he was undeserving of life itself. But seeing an angel kneel to hold his face better made him want to cry, he didn’t, but his eyes stung.
The angel’s hands grazed over Simon’s half mutated face, those blue eyes staring into his soul. Simon starts feeling tired, like he could die in this angel’s hands as a monster and be okay. The angel raised Simon’s face, Simon complied, he wouldn’t move unless the angel told him so. Then everything around them was gone, It was just an infinite ocean of blood and the angel that held Simon close. Simon felt the angel’s fingers pass over the sharp teeth pushing out of his skin on his face, the angel blessed him by kissing over it.
Oh.
I’m dead.

Summary
Simon doesn't know what happened, or how it happened. The last thing he remembers is the walls of the sub exploding inwards as the last remaining space filled with air around him was flooded with thick blood. He thrust the black box with the life jacket out with his hand, hoping, praying, that it would reach the surface and the COI would find it.
Everything went black.
And then he opened his eyes. The sub was intact, still partially flooded with blood, but it was floating all around him instead of settling at the bottom. Simon was in zero gravity.
or: Simon is saved by what he can only assume is an angel taking him to the other side

Summary
Iron Lung meets Project Hail Mary. After spotting the floating remnants of the Iron lung from the Hail Mary on Grace and Rocky's journey back to Erid, Grace insists on bringing it with them.
Grace gets on his space suit and goes and tethers it to the hail Mary. Rocky uses his ship to manufacture a link with the iron lung and they manage to pry open the window shield to reveal someone inside.
They manage to cut open the iron lung and get its sole passenger to med bay and have Armando stabilize him until they get to Erid.
Simon barely comes to, but just manages to make out Graces sillouette in front of a bright light, before falling unconscious and kept in a stable coma for the rest of the trip.
How will these two Patron Saints of One Way Trips learn to cohabitate on a completely foreign world? Will Simon be able to adapt to living a more stable, civilian lifestyle? Will Simons shadows stay behind him and not destroy the life he will build for himself?
Will both of these lonely humans be able to find solace and acceptance being the only human souls on the edge of a foreign galaxy? Only time will tell.
