    Summary

    Ryland Grace was supposed to be doing the dishes.

    He was.

    He was doing the dishes.

    Yep. His hands were in the soapy water and he was definitely touching a plate (maybe it was a bowl…)

    He was definitely doing the dishes and not watching what was happening outside the window.

    Because what was happening was just gardening.

    Summary

    There is not much these days that would surprise Ryland Grace, an expert on oceanic biology and one of the world's leading figures in marine genetics. Or so he thought, until his entire world is shaken by the biggest marine discovery in the past century; Merfolk are real. Or, to be precise, at least one of them is. Grace is looking right at him.

    In all his life, Grace has never seen something, no, someone so breathtaking. He doubts he ever will again. Suddenly, he finds himself indescribably protective of this creature, this man, captive in front of him. The world is not ready to witness someone like him—nor could it ever deserve to.

    Or about how Simon is a bloodnymph and Grace is a little monster-loving freak first, and a scientist second.

    Summary

    "Anomaly Simon very friendly toward 'little rocks' but frequently forgets Eridians fully sentient and capable medical professionals, statement."

    Grace parses that. "He's not taking you seriously when you talk to him?"

    "Keeps trying to hug nurses, statement. Upsetting. Upsetting."

    Summary

    The closer the date came, the more reluctant Grace felt sharing a home with the thing that was coming back on the Eridian ship. He felt himself growing uncomfortable at the idea of him even sharing a dome with it. How should he be expected to?

    What if it was dangerous? What if the being was more animalistic and violent? What if it was sick? What if it got him sick? How will it react to a new planet? Can he really be trusted to take care of this thing? What if he doesn’t know how because it’s not human?

    God, but what if it was human?

    OR

    Grace is forced to come to terms that he is no longer alone, while Simon struggles with the reality that he deserves any of this. Does he?

    Summary

    On the trip back to Erid; Grace and Rocky come across a sub that shouldn’t be there with a man who know’s he shouldn’t be alive. Simon is REALLY grateful to be saved at first but what happens when you live beyond what should have killed you?

    Summary

    Grace could easily say that his current life was about as peaceful as it could get.That's why Grace choked and almost suffocated on his tea, when Rocky came barreling in through the front door, the xenonite shell that kept him protected from the atmosphere clicking against the floor, as the alien filled the room with frantic chitter and song, stomping in place.
    “Human! Human on Erid!”

    Grace raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

    “New human! Very injured, Eridians need help to save!”

    or;

    The Eridians find a strange man on a moon close to Erid. As Grace tries to nurse him back to health, the man refuses to say a word.
    (basically nonverbal Simon)
    Following events from random days, as they get to know each other and learn how to communicate without pressure and anxiety.

    Summary

    There was nothing, nothing in this whole, entirely vast universe, as perfect as Ryland Grace’s mouth.

    Simon knew himself to be good for close to nothing.
    But one thing he'd always excelled at was the act of worship.
    He’d long said goodbye to purpose as he’d known it.
    If his new direction in life, his singular, daily task was the endless, mindless veneration of his Savior, the adoration of the singular star in his vast, dark sky, he would find comfort in it.
    More than that, he’d find pleasure in it.

    Or about how Simon confesses (sort of) and things take an unexpected turn.

    Summary

    “Teach me how you like it, Dr. Grace." Simon's breath on his neck was warm and wet and intoxicating. His vision blackened.
    He'd never felt like this before.
    The next words from Simon's mouth nearly caused him to choke on the saliva pooling in his mouth.
    "I’d love to learn a thing or two from you.”

    Simon is Ryland Grace's demisexual awakening. They're being real freaky about it, too.

    Summary

    Life on Erid is good. In fact, Grace might even go as far as to say it's the best. Right up until the Eridians freak him out by having this whole big meeting about a signal coming from a moon somewhere? And Rocky volunteers them to go check it out? Rocky, not cool, man.

    During the two year mission to go check out this weird moon, the signals keep changing, until they arrive and find a Really Weird Guy. And, man, he has some problems. But Rocky and Grace are here to help! Falling in love was not on the menu, but that's never stopped anyone.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    The worst part about it, Simon thinks, is that when his skin starts to slough off, it’s replaced by a film of blood. And when that starts, the line of demarcation that separates what was strictly him and strictly other starts to fade. Even when his left arm detaches with an uneven rip and the voice in his head stops being his voice, he still hopes there’s a way to distill his real self from the sludge.

    Simon subscribes to the idea that people get what they deserve as a consequence of their actions. Something along the lines of karma. It brings a sense of closure, and he’ll take closure where he can get it. With that, Simon submits himself to the notion he’s getting exactly what he deserves. This is how it’s going to end - with him blindly slinging an axe in a battle for unsatisfying gulps of metallic air, fumbling around the dark for a line that used to exist.

    But he wakes up. And the first thing Simon’s traitorous brain thinks is that this man has the kindest eyes he’s ever seen.

    Summary

    ** If you didn't read the tags, there's weird monster/mutation tummy fucking going to happen. You've been warned. **

     

    When Grace found Simon, Grace always said that Simon had been found a mess.

    Grace leaving balled up papers on the ground, that’s a mess. Rocky leaving xenonite scraps everywhere, that’s a mess. None of them picking up after they eat, that’s a mess.

    Calling whatever Simon must have looked like when he was unconscious was an understatement. 

    Because Simon knew he must have looked like a fucking nightmare.

    Summary

    “Look.” he continued, hands raised in surrender. “You’re pissed. I get it. As you know, the rest of my day wasn’t that fucking great either.”

    He nodded towards the corner of the ceiling, where one of several small CCTV cameras sat. “But if you’re going to incinerate me, could you at least do it in a blind spot? I don’t exactly want my charred corpse caught in 4k.”

    Flambae glanced around at the cameras, puffing out a warm, steady breath. He met Robert’s gaze again, hot embers burning beneath his glare. Flambae’s other fist curled, trembling slightly.

    Robert licked his lips and braced, fully expecting to have to come up with a brand new excuse tomorrow for why his nose was busted this time around.

    Instead, his eyes narrowed when Flambae’s glare — for the smallest, most imperceptibly short moment — flitted down, tracking the motion. Flambae’s gaze snapped back up, looking caught.

    Robert blinked, eyes widening. His mouth fell open, the corner of his mouth ticking up just a fraction. “Oh.”

    Or, Robert and Flambae run into eachother after hours, post the “comms incident”. They argue a bit, then finish what they started.
