Neon Iron Mary by Corentine

Summary
The thing rises back up with an ungainly lurch, almost careening backwards. It’s another mechanoid but nothing like the Hail Mary units, which have a long-limbed, almost lanky look to them. This thing is big and bulky, made of an unpainted, dull grey metal streaked with rust-orange. Ostensibly iron, but it has to be a stronger alloy to withstand landing like that. A spherical, cage-faced head puts Grace in mind of an old-timey diving suit.
Is that… it is one of the Consolidation of Iron’s Evangelions. Grace has only seen blurry photos of them, C.O.I. dissuades media coverage. They’re a completely different line to the Hail Marys, apparent competitors, he knows that much, but that’s about it.
Stratt’s voice is harsh and urgent, “Iron Lung confirmed? Which number is it?”
“Which number?” Ilyukhina asks as well. “If this is IL-13 come to kill-steal again, I swear to dick, I will end them myself.”

AKA What if I put Grace and Simon in giant robots and made them fight giant biblical kaiju. And they kiss about it.

But Ryland Grace was in far too deep to care.

Summary
Captain Simon Park and his crew agree to kidnap Lord Ryland Grace for ransom.
It ought to be simple enough: take the supposedly sickly heir from his father’s estate, keep him safely aboard the Iron Starling for a handful of weeks, and return him once Count Grace decides his only son is worth paying for.
Except Ryland is neither sickly nor difficult. He is polite, capable, strangely resigned to his own captivity—and, before long, slipping into lessons beneath the open sky, shared meals, borrowed names, and the quiet rituals of a crew that has made a family out of the unwanted.
Then the ransom goes unanswered.
And Simon begins to wonder whether anyone ashore ever intended for Lord Ryland Grace to come home at all.

Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

Summary
A Eridian scout ship finds an injured human and returns him to Erid. Doctor Ryland Grace is initially excited by the prospect of another human being! But after a catastrophically failed first encounter where Ryland tries to save this newcomer's life as the expense of any trust, they must learn relearn to trust each other.
---
“If you leave,” Ryland pulled himself to his knees, “You’ll die.” He pressed his hands to his knees and stood to his full height.He lunged again, driving the stranger’s body into the wall. A pained roar echoed off the walls and threatened to drown out all else. A fist connecting with the side of his head. His vision blackened, vignetted at the edges. Grace screamed an answering roar of his own. Before his legs gave out, he dug in his heels, struggling against the man fighting for his life against him.

Summary
The Eridians had made little sense of it when it was first detected, resonating from within an astrological body only a fragment of light years away that had—apparently, impossibly—not been there before. A crooked moon with no star, they’d said. No planet. And, from it, this little noise that had reached the Eridian transmitters, quick as a heartbeat. Staggering like a gasp of breath.
A sign of life, crying out into the universe for help.
And Dr. Ryland Grace, in all his cosmic stupidity, followed it.
--
OR: a cosmic anomaly brings two lost and broken souls together and reminds them of what it means to be human.

The Things We Don't Say by DaQueen420

Summary
Grace had survived space.
He had survived The Hail Mary project, an alien planet and becoming friends with an alien from said planet. He had fished Simon up from a blood ocean, and survived the small matter of saving the entire world. After all that, settling down on Erid should have been the easy part.
And for a while, it was.
Rocky was home, and Erid was peaceful. Simon was healing. Grace had a routine, a job, a quiet house, and something dangerously close to happiness.
Then Simon started staring at him.
Not normal staring.
The kind of staring that makes Grace wonder if he has done something wrong. If Simon is angry with him. If he has accidentally offended him. Or if he is about to become the first human casualty on Erid. The problem is that Grace has grown head over heels for Simon, and does not want to ruin anything between them.
Which makes it especially unfortunate that Simon has recently started acting like the world's politest horror movie villain.
Grace had survived space.
Surely he can survive one weird roommate.
Probably.

Summary
"Simon, are we like, engaged?"
Okay, he wasn't calm. He was borderline shrill. It didn't help when he watched Simon swallow painfully, face losing colour, turning pale and nervous.
"...No?"
Grace's eyebrows shot up into his hairline. "You're not sure?"
***
Or, that time Grace and Rocky steal Simon away from the blood ocean and the starless universe tries to take him back.
