Summary
Somehow, in some twisted, unbelievable turn of events, the fate of the entire planet, billions upon billions of people, had fallen on Ryland Grace's shoulders. It was a burden he wasn't fit to carry. A burden that he could feel in all its massiveness weighing down on his chest, squeezing his lungs until all he could eke out of them where wheezing, barely-there breaths.
He pressed his forehead harder against his knees and curled his fingers tight around some of the fabric of his pants, his knuckles turning white. He couldn't—this wasn't how it was supposed to—
His life—his kids—
Simon.
Or Ryland Grace is a middle school teacher turned lead astrophage scientist. Simon Fischer is a convict turned engineering specialist. Surely absolutely nothing could go wrong on a cosmic scale because neither of them are astronauts.

Summary
Simon's new life had been almost perfect. Food, safety, and people who, for some reason, truly cared about him. Of course, nothing good could last forever; his own personal demon has somehow wormed its way into his new reality, and he won't let it hurt anyone else.
Why does it seem so scared?
OR
Ellie gets dropped into the biodome a few months after Simon, and, like him, eventually gets a safe life away from The Horrors (despite technically being a horror herself).

Summary
Grace had made peace with his decision to leave Earth and humanity behind. He truly had. If it was to save Rocky and Erid, he would make that choice a thousand times over. But whatever impossible little slice of serendipity had dropped a living, breathing human into space 16.3 lightyears away from Earth was really testing the mettle of those convictions. Because the possibility that the man might live meant the possibility of a companion with whom Grace could share a real touch and the same air. But it also meant that if he died, Grace would have to grieve the loss of all human connection, ever, all over again.
Hope felt a lot like ripping open an old wound sometimes.

Summary
The ocean has changed.
Everyone seemed to know it, reports of mutated creatures showing up on pacific shorelines growing by the day.
With the ocean seeming to be in danger, a two-manned submarine named the Iron Mary is to be sent down to gather intel and find a way to reverse the affects of the blood ocean.
---
Based on my Project Iron Mary AU being updated on Tumblr
AU in which there is no astrophage, but there is a portion of the ocean being mutated into the blood ocean, so I'm sending both of our guys into the ocean insteadSeries
