    Summary

    Soulmate AU: Simon wakes up alive after the blood ocean to find a man far too clean and pretty to be COI or Eden. After trying to help him escape whatever god-forsaken station they are prisoners on (Erid) and fighting terrifying, faceless rock beasts (Eridians), Simon discovers a soulmate mark on Ryland Grace's left, heavily scarred arm: the match to one Simon once had before he tore the limb from his body.

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace, scientist turned middle school teacher, should have everything a man needs to be happy. A job he loves, work friends, a nice apartment, his pet cat. His students worship him, his coworkers love him, and his bosses...well, they'll come around...right? But at the end of the day, Grace feels empty inside. His life feels dull. His heart yearns for something more, something he doesn't know how to put into words.

    When discharged CPO Navy SEAL Simon Attwood was finally released from the hospital, he came back to nothing. His mother long gone, no friends to speak of, no home, no hope. Only unanswered prayers, empty promises from the country he served, a broken body, and a mind slowly crumbling.

    That is, until Ryland and Simon's paths cross. A messy meeting could lead to just the remedy both men are looking for...if they can figure out how to connect first.

    Summary

    “You kept me here and alive just to study me. I knew it all along. The C.O.I. never had someone return from the ocean, and now that I'm back, they sent you to examine me. To take care of me. To pretend to, at least. You built weird rock robots to make it convincing. You did nothing but lie to me. That's all you ever do. That's all anyone ever fucking does.” He sniffles, refusing to look away even for a second. Refusing to even blink. Everything hurts and aches and burns. This is no better then the Iron Lung.

    Grace had become his Iron Lung. his life support. Everything. And he hates it.

    After everything, this is still bigger than him, isn't it? ISN'T IT?

    OR

    Simon wakes up on Erid, and goes through your typical BloodyMary plotline with a teeny tiny twist; the story is told from HIS paranoid, traumatized, and terrified POV. he is also mortified of his body mutations and we get a deep dive on his new found body dysmorphia.
    Like i'm being serious he has to fight literal wars before he can be at peace this is angst CENTRAL.

    Summary

    Simon was stuck. The SM-13 wasn't responding, the monster was lurking outside somewhere and the light was slowly burning through the glass. He had limited oxygen left, Ava wasn't answering and he was pretty sure he was on concussion number 3.

    But it was the terminal's insistent beeping that caught his attention. What was Project Hail Mary?

    Simon pressed Enter.

    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.
