    Summary

    Simon's been on Erid, physically, for 2 months.

    He's been conscious for only a week.

    He doesn't trust Grace or Rocky by any stretch of the word, not even sure he's convinced those are their real names.

    And yet, seeing the usually cheerful, compassionate, and unnervingly trusting scientist so afraid had put a cold dead weight in his stomach.

    or

    Some overzealous Eridians(its quite literally a cult) decide to take matters into their own hands regarding their saving grace. All while Simon is still recovering from the blood ocean.

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    AU where Simon did all his suffering on Earth and is dragged against his will onto the Hail Mary alongside Grace

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has had his fair share of surprises. Between meeting Rocky, visiting an alien planet, collecting Taumoeba, and surviving what was supposed to be a suicide mission. So, saving a man from a blood-filled submarine floating in space after receiving a radio transmission should be child's play.

    Except it's not. Because now he has a dangerously mysterious man who would rather die than answer Grace's questions. And all Grace has are questions.

    OR

    Two "Oh yeah I was forced on a suicide mission despite having the strongest will to live" guys meet and learn that living is not just surviving but being able to love gently.
