    Summary

    Simon’s breath caught in his chest. Even through the haze of pain and death, this man was . . . beautiful. Dirty blonde hair that stuck up every which way it wanted to, shocking blue eyes that felt like they could peer straight through his tainted soul, framed by the crinkles of smile lines, and speaking of, an excited smile, looking at Simon as if he wasn’t a murderer, a monster, someone worthy, maybe even deserving of being saved, of being in their presence. And his wings. The purest white that Simon had ever seen. No one had white wings, the only time he’d seen wings this white was in depictions of . . .

    Angels.

    -

    Fic inspiration from TikTok user: @purple_jellyfish222

    Wing AU where humans are pre-dated from birds. White winged humans quickly went extinct during the Quiet Rapture, and with a vast majority of humanities information on wildlife lost with Earth. So when Simon wakes from what should have been his death to see Ryland Grace, with the pure white wings of swans, he thinks he's met an angel.

    Summary

    Simon has never been good with kids. When a child appears out of thin air in his submarine and the COI still refuses to pull him up, all Simon can do is protect her from the horrors of the ocean. Even if he knows there's not much hope for either of them to live.

     

    Ryland Grace is living his best life on Erid. He has a wonderful best friend, scientific colleagues who respect him, and students who adore him. Unless he decides to make the journey back to Earth, however, he doesn't expect to see another human any time soon. He certainly wasn't expecting to stumble upon a traumatized father and daughter welded into a blood-filled submarine.

    Summary

    “Yes.” his own voice affirmed, as the Alien pressed the button on the communicator wall. “Speak, Mate, Home, Communicator.”

    Okay, okay. Speak, so the ship was probably communicating somehow. But the Aliens didn’t have the same kinds of communication devices as humans. And Communicator was something that they used to refer to the radio communication that Simon had introduced to them.

    “They are radioing us?” He asked “Are they threatening us?!”

    “Yes speak. No Danger.”

    Simon calmed a little, letting his hand unclench from where it was fisted against the wall. Adrian was keening now. It was haunting. Filled with unmistakable grief.

    “Who is it?” Simon asked, wishing Adrian was the one talking. It’d be faster.

    “Adrian. Mate.”

    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

    Blood rushes past Grace’s ears, and he can hear the steady thrum of his own pulse coming from somewhere in his head. His cheeks burn.
    This introduction was especially not going how he thought it would be.

    - - -
    This is a post-canon fic where there's a language barrier between Simon and Grace! Takes place after Grace and Rocky have made it to Erid and Simon has been dumped in the blood ocean. Lots of angst and eventually even more comfort.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace can come to terms with being tranquilized, crammed into an aluminum tube strapped to two million kilograms of astrophage, and launched into deep space only to find his soulmate waiting on the other side.

    Being at the opposite end of that equation when it breaks the known barriers of special relativity is a lot harder to deal with.

    Or:

    A dead man washes up out of Ryland Grace's own personal sea.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.

    Summary

    My eyes are wide, but I see nothing. My hand clenches around the sheets. My heart is pounding in my ears. I’m clawing through my brain, scratching at every inch of it to dig up something but there’s just… nothing. No memories. I can’t dredge up anything past the first time I woke up in this bed. I don’t know where I came from. I don’t know what happened to me.

    I don’t know who I am.

     

    Simon arrives on Erid with no memory. His wounds, his vessel, and his fear are his only clues to his past, and Grace his only shepherd.

    Or

    Simon experiences amnesia on Erid similar to the amnesia Grace experienced on The Hail Mary.

    Summary

    PHM x Iron Lung present day Grumpy Grace vs Sunshine Simon AU

    Grace just exists. Discredited and shunned by his peers and betrayed by his GF, he is now a Middle School science teacher with exactly one friend and no other social life. Just the way he likes it… right?

    Simon is a convict. Fresh out of prison he wants to redeem himself. Be better. Do better. And that starts with positivity.
    And apparently being hit by a handsome stranger on a bicycle he can’t get out of his head.
