Summary
After a horrific injury, Simon is released early from his military service. Three years in a halfway house and therapy later he is on his own in the world. Fresh flowers and a new beginning. The past still haunts him, the ghosts who's blood taint his hands, but after an accidental meeting with his neighbor he begins learning what it means to truly live. No longer would he be taking lives, now he would be nurturing his own.
Or a mostly wholesome, domestic, slice-of-life flower shop au :)

Summary
Two weeks after the disaster of a conference that was meant to be his academic victory run and the successful start of the rest of his life as a molecular biologist, Ryland Grace escapes to one of Washington’s state parks. Hiding away in his twin brother’s cabin, Ryland has to come to terms with the fact that the life he worked so hard for had slipped right through his fingers because his ego had been larger than his logical brain, and now he’s haunted by a community of scientists and online enthusiasts yearning to run what little is left of his dignity into the ground.
But as a hike, one fuelled mostly by spite because obviously he didn’t learn his lesson just yet, goes south, he’s forced to call the rangers for help. And because life hates him, the ranger who told him not to wander into the woods is the one to take his call.
Something about ranger Simon’s disapproving and definitely disappointed look cuts deeper than he anticipated.

Summary
Has he seen this guy before? Simon furrowed his brows as they held the silence, trying to shift through the fog. No, no. Surely not. He'd never seen this dork of a man in entire life. Not even in passing.
surely.Then.. What about him seemed so familiar?
“Morning,” was shoved politely out of the dork’s mouth, like he’d been holding it in since the top of the stairs.”Mornin’,” Simon’s head jerked barely downwards, acknowledging his greeting. With the nod, surprisingly, the yellow coat quickly shuffled off in the other direction. Simon couldn't take his eyes off of him, partially shocked that's what this guy landed on after sitting and staring for so long.All that time to think about what you’re going to say and it's not even a good morning?
What was this guy’s deal?
or
Kinda hard to adjust to a whole new state & your dream job when your upstairs neighbor/new coworker gives you enough second hand embarrassment to kill a horse. At least he's not half bad to look at.

Summary
Simon is newly graduated on the government's dime, recovering mentally and physically from the Navy submarine accident that took his arm and scarred his face, and equal parts excited and nervous for his first year teaching. Somehow, after everything he's done, he gets to be the one kids ask questions and trust to give the right answer. The paycheck and sense of purpose more than make up for how alone he is.
Ryland Grace has two best friends who love and care for him, the job of his dreams, a boss he loves, and a suspiciously high paycheck for a middle school science teacher. So why is he still so lonely?
A tour of the building, matching scars, and a fragile comraderie, and suddenly their lives are far more intertwined than either is fully comfortable with.
Their friends and colleagues are almost as invested in their budding relationship as the nerdy middle schoolers are in shipping their favorite teachers.
These oblivious idiots might need a little push in the right direction

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

Summary
“Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.
Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.
“Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”
Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.
Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.
Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

Simon wakes with a dull thud in the back of his right eye and promptly ignores it because he has a stream to do later. Screens and migraines do not mix.

Summary
Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...
Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.
(Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

Summary
“You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.
“Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”
A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.
But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?
