    Summary

    “Can Rocky watch, question? Is for science.”

    Grace choked for the second time. He really should learn to stop sipping around Rocky. Simon froze in place, glaring over his shoulder at Rocky. And then at Grace, for taking too long to say no.

    “No way in hell,” Simon finally answered, eyes narrowed.

    “Is for science!” Rocky repeated, like that was supposed to mean something.

     

    OR: Eridians have no concept of casual sex. Rocky walks in on Simon and Grace, and wants to learn more. Y'know, for science!

    Summary

    “So you aren’t trained in it?”

    Grace closed the compartment and stood up fully, body turned to Simon, “I assume you are?”

    “Yeah, I’ve been in hand-to-hand combat a couple of times.”

    “Well you were in a space station that was fighting with another space station most days.”

    “And you have the cure to what caused my people to fight with another space station... I could teach you. How to fight, that is.”

    Or: Simon teaches Grace how to fight and they end up dry humping and discovering some things about themselves.

    Summary

    “I want you to ask to touch me,” Grace said. “Go on. Beg.”

    Simon swallowed, letting his hands rest on his thighs. “Pl-please,” he stuttered, “may I please touch you?”

     

    OR: Simon finally gets the flogging he so desperately wanted. Can be read individually, though methinks the first part is just as good and worth a read :]

    Summary

    "If you blow up, you take the whole of Spring Station with you. I'm not going to wait around to find out that you got bored and did something stupid."

    Grace shoves both of his hands into his hair and groans at the ceiling.

    "I don't need a babysitter," he grits out, dropping his hands. "No offense - actually, full offense - I'm sick of you."

    "Then hurry up and fix it if you want me gone," Simon retorts, his jaw ticking.

    "I don't know how."

    Simon, who's clearly lost his patience, leans forward and hisses, "Then we're obviously fucking stuck with each other."

    or: the hail mary falls through a void into a universe where the stars are dimming, so grace offers his help in exchange for food. problem number one: the universe has tied grace and simon together with a mysterious curse that could end with grace exploding like a dying star if they're apart for too long.

    problem number two: they hate each other.

    Summary

    Simon's eyes sharply cut up to meet his, his glare burning as he briefly paused undoing buttons. Ryland's grin was still plastered to his face and he knew it was only serving to get under Simon's skin.

    "You think wearing those to a meeting was just 'same old, same old?'" He pointedly lowered his gaze to Ryland's pants, and—yeah, okay, maybe they were a size smaller than he usually wore but they still fit. "And that stunt you pulled dropping your pencil?"

    "What!" A light laugh made his words stutter out of him. "I dropped my pencil! You wanted me to just leave it on the ground?"

    Or Simon and Ryland both work on Project Hail Mary. Inevitably, they like to rile each other up, and Simon doesn’t like sharing. Surely fucking your hot coworker is fine as long as it’s behind closed doors. Right?

    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.

    "Anomaly Simon very friendly toward 'little rocks' but frequently forgets Eridians fully sentient and capable medical professionals, statement."

    Grace parses that. "He's not taking you seriously when you talk to him?"

    "Keeps trying to hug nurses, statement. Upsetting. Upsetting."

    Summary

    It had been simmering in the back of his mind for months, Grace had tried to ignore it. Telling himself he was just pleased to have companionship. After years isolated from other humans is was nice to have someone to laugh with to talk to. He pretended that if he had to he could go back to existing without the other man in his life. What a joke.

    In which two deeply damaged people try, badly, to offer each other olive branches without mistaking them for weapons--or turning it into a sex thing.

    (It's definitely a sex thing.)

    Summary

    He slowly approaches the viewing window, afraid to move too quickly and startle whatever lurks on the other side. The acrylic curves with the wall, bowing away from him. Nearly imperceptible particles drift in the water, reminding Grace of marine snow. He gets the sudden, wild urge to press his palm flat against the barrier.

    Before he gets the chance, something disturbs the water. It’s fast, only giving Grace a moment to take it in before it disappears. Pointed spines punctuate a long, snaking body. A flash of red as the artificial lights reflect off something, like a cat’s eyeshine in the dark.

    Dr. Ryland Grace was a marine biologist and expert in jawless fish genetics before leaving academia to become a middle school biology teacher. When a woman named Eva Stratt calls on him to help with classified research, he is flown to Russia to study a creature that seems to defy the laws of science. A creature that seems strangely human...

    Summary

    There is not much these days that would surprise Ryland Grace, an expert on oceanic biology and one of the world's leading figures in marine genetics. Or so he thought, until his entire world is shaken by the biggest marine discovery in the past century; Merfolk are real. Or, to be precise, at least one of them is. Grace is looking right at him.

    In all his life, Grace has never seen something, no, someone so breathtaking. He doubts he ever will again. Suddenly, he finds himself indescribably protective of this creature, this man, captive in front of him. The world is not ready to witness someone like him—nor could it ever deserve to.

    Or about how Simon is a bloodnymph and Grace is a little monster-loving freak first, and a scientist second.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    Before Grace could say anything further, the other man is already taking his shirt off. He fixes his hair after he drops the shirt on the floor, wearing nothing but a harness (for some reason) and…

    Something on his chest catches the bright fluorescent lights, shining. It makes Grace’s mouth go dry.

    Simon Fisher has nipple piercings.

    Grace is VERY normal about his coworker's piercings. (Engineer!Simon working on PHM AU)

    Summary

    Ryland couldn't believe this was actually happening. In this tiny lab on a spaceship that was built with the hopes and dreams of those whose only saving grace was a one way journey and a man who taught middle school science, there was a spark, a connection that rivaled the odds of the mission itself.

    Summary

    Living on Eden instilled Simon with a very utilitarian view of sex and pleasure. There was never any time for more than quick and quiet fumbling in the dark, chasing release before you got caught. Even on the Hail Mary, they just didn't have the time, energy or resources to draw things out in the rare event things got heated.

    But now, with time, energy and resources in abundance, Ryland Grace insists on treating Simon. Taking his time. And taking full advantage of their newfound privacy. Simon might lose his mind.
