22010; the future of the eridian-human football by Hellooobeees

Summary
TEN: It’s haunting. Humanity asked them to sacrifice themselves, and in the end we know so little about that sacrifice.
The rest is post-history. Humanity had its hands full trying to prevent mass starvation, then recovering from the environmental disasters, and figuring out how to be immortal. When all was said and done, there was little desire to look into deep space. The price was too steep.JUICE: yeahhh pretty much. Unless the whole planet’s on the line interstellar travel is just so not worth it to humans.
even in a post-scarcity world its like... why bother. Its pretty pointless and not very rewarding
and there are much more rewarding pointless things to do
like illinois chess and pesäpallo and brazil-style mancala and footballNINE: I’m glad that their sacrifice wasn’t in vain. That today people get to do all the pointless and rewarding things in the world and never run out of time. I’m sorry they aren’t here to do the same.
TEN: Me too.
JUICE: yeah. RIP hail mary crew i bet you would have loved football
Everyone on Erid had stopped dying, and stopped being born. Ryland Grace had no way of knowing if the same had happened to Earth.

Summary
Thrust into the Frieren universe in the middle of the wilderness with a newborn demon who already walks and stalks prey, Clara Taylor’s new life is a nightmare.
Project manager, failed Olympic archer, anime fan, divorced mom... none of her credentials had prepared Clara to wake up inside a Greater Demon's body mid-labor. But she's dealt with more difficult things than a horned baby with predator instincts and zero concept of affection.
Clara has raised a child before, and she isn't about to let a little thing like demonic biology stop her from being a good mother.
The real question isn't whether she can raise him, it's what happens when a demon is loved from the very first day.

Summary
Simon expects to die alone in the Blood Ocean.
Instead, he wakes up in another universe years earlier, in the body of a man who shares his name and face, but not his life. Here, Simon isn't a convict. He's a technician working for NASA on Project Hail Mary. Everyone expects him to remember his coworkers, his life, and the man he's supposed to be.
Ryland Grace, the hopelessly curious scientist he is, is the first person to notice something isn't quite right.

Summary
“You… you really think you’re a pet.” Statement. Grace felt like Rocky, needing to clarify that it wasn’t a question.
“Some days, yeah.” Simon didn’t seem concerned. “Good days, usually. Some days I wake up convinced I’m dead and this is just the weirdest purgatory-adjacent afterlife. Or paradise. Or that I’m still actively dying and all this is an incredibly long hallucination my brain is running to keep me calm during the transition. But that one’s pretty easy to talk myself out of.”
“So every morning you have to sort out where your brain thinks you are that day?” he asked, all scientific curiosity gone. Simon gave an affirmative hum, more of an Eridian sound, affirmative in the note, than a human one, affirmative in the arrangement of notes. Grace thought of that morning, of every morning, where he had to piece together the blank emptiness of his mind. “I think I get it.”
~~~
In which Rocky and Grace arrive and find the Eridians much more equipped to handle the specific needs of a leaky space blob than they had anticipated.

The obligatory 'Grace saves Simon' fic that everyone has to write because I am /obsessed/. Expect this to be the first in a little series I'm working on because I really want to explore Simon's past a bit more because I love myself a cryptic (traumatic) backstory.
Mind the TWs in the Notes!

Help, I’m A Middle School Teacher Who Woke Up As An Omega! by spitfired

Summary
It takes Ryland Grace three days to figure out he’s in a different reality but in his defense, it was a school weekend and summer break was on the way.
Here's a few things that clues him in:
One, the weirdest thing that Ryland notices when he wakes up is that he smells like sugar cookies. He doesn't even know how to bake.
Two, the second weirdest thing is that when he orders take out, his DoorDasher leans in really close to his face and sniffs him. Which, okay, so he forgot to shower last night, is it such a crime? Sue him, whatever.
The last and final thing that broke the straw on the camel's back was the man who stops him outside of Grover Cleveland Middle School while he's fumbling with his bike lock and sweating over rewriting the answer key for his practice exams, to ask if he could hit up that "Sweet Omega Ass," which- what the fudge? Who do you think you are, and what even is an Omega?
OR: that one isekai fic that no one asked for where Just A Normal Guy Ryland Grace wakes up in an omegaverse reality.

Summary
Simon can't shower.
Not won't shower — he'd love to, in theory, stand under a hot deluge of water and just exist, passively, while it massaged the tension from his muscles. No, he is physically and mentally incapable of taking a shower. Any and every attempt he has made at correcting that deficit, of addressing this stupid fucking phobia head on, has gone the same way.
The only other option is asking Grace for help, and Simon would quite literally rather tear his other arm off than bother Grace with such a ridiculous request.
The worst part is, he knows Grace would do it in a heartbeat.

Summary
"I'm not going to just let you starve. We need to at least try to make it to Erid together."
The man is staring at him again, this time in disbelief. "You don't even know me."
Grace's brows pull down in the center. "I'd still like to avoid jettisoning your corpse out the airlock, if possible."
The Hail Mary acquires a second human mouth to feed. Grace's plans for survival include extreme rationing, unhealthy ship acceleration, and possibly cannibalism. Simon's plan is murder.

Summary
“Grace. What are you testing, question?”
Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.
“CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.
“Purpose, question?”
Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.
Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3
THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

Summary
Baelor Targaryen died on the Fields of Ashford Meadow, but he woke in 93AC, as a boy of five in Dorne, a younger brother named Maekar in his arms. He's too young, too powerless, and too Dornish to even begin to grasp how he might alter the history stretched before him. Whether he is in the Heavens or the Hells, he knows he must make the best of the knowledge and skills at his disposal and end the Dance of the Dragons before it can start.

Summary
The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.
Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???
...
Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Summary
“Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”
That made Grace pause. “What?!”
“If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”
“Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.
“Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.
---
When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.
