   Summary

   Doctor Captain Ryland Grace had found home on Erid thanks to his best friend, Rocky. Though he has just about all he needs, he still can't ignore the itch of something missing. An itch that turns to something more troubling when a stranger in need of help shows up in his dome and starts to stir all sorts of conflicting feelings under his skin.

   Or: bloodymary where i make grace lowkey afraid of simon but he does his best to hide it for the sake of simon. also simon keeps his mutations

   (will be undergoing some editing: grammar n such!!)

   Summary

   Ch.15 excerpt:

   "Things don’t just vanish. It’s the first law of matter: it cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes states! It gets reorganised during physical and-or chemical processes. The rules of physics don’t change willy-nilly! They don’t!

   Things don’t just disappear.

   Planets don’t just disappear."

   -

   Still trying to save their respective planets, Grace and Rocky gain a new problem they need to solve: the body of impossible human being appearing in the Hail Mary's airlock. Things slowly get worse from there.

   Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.
