   Summary

   Soulmate AU: Simon wakes up alive after the blood ocean to find a man far too clean and pretty to be COI or Eden. After trying to help him escape whatever god-forsaken station they are prisoners on (Erid) and fighting terrifying, faceless rock beasts (Eridians), Simon discovers a soulmate mark on Ryland Grace's left, heavily scarred arm: the match to one Simon once had before he tore the limb from his body.
