Summary

“You’re MURDERING him!” Grace screamed into Captain Ava’s face, gesturing towards the coffin of a submarine behind him.
“Well, if you like him so much, why don't you go join him?”
An AU where Grace is in the Iron Lung universe, and is thrown into the sub with Simon.

Summary
The Eridians had made little sense of it when it was first detected, resonating from within an astrological body only a fragment of light years away that had—apparently, impossibly—not been there before. A crooked moon with no star, they’d said. No planet. And, from it, this little noise that had reached the Eridian transmitters, quick as a heartbeat. Staggering like a gasp of breath.
A sign of life, crying out into the universe for help.
And Dr. Ryland Grace, in all his cosmic stupidity, followed it.
--
OR: a cosmic anomaly brings two lost and broken souls together and reminds them of what it means to be human.

Summary
Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

In Murky Waters (Your Bloodthirst Quenches) by Shineyybean

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
Dr. Captain Ryland Grace has been safely received by Erid. He is the most captivating spectacle the planet has ever seen. He only hopes they’ll let him down with minimal scandal when they find out what a coward he really is.
First Engineer of Alien Technologies, Savior Rocky, has known the truth about Grace the whole time. He only notices how beautiful his alien is too late, with the rest of the world watching.
-----
(Or, what happens to two introverts when they become planet-wide celebrities overnight. Grace sounds pretty pretty pretty in his formal wear at the gala.)Bookmarked by moonbig

Summary
To say that Ryland Grace and Simon of Eden get off on the wrong foot would be the understatement of the century.
Being rescued didn’t miraculously solve all of Simon’s problems. He has a lot to adjust to. Being a fresh amputee, the stars not being dead, aliens being real, living on an alien planet, having a human neighbor who doesn't want to kill him, trusting in this so-called “reality” that’s too good to be true… yeah, no, making friends isn’t a priority. Exiting survival mode is easier said than done. He barely even knows who he is when he’s not fighting tooth and nail.
Grace is doing his best not to get attached to the handsome stranger he helped save. Simon may choose to leave Erid once he’s healed. He’s not so desperate for human company that he’d pursue someone who attacked him in their first-ever interaction. He has a good life here on Erid; he totally doesn’t dream of holding another human being’s hand, or being looked at fondly by someone with eyes, or seeing another person’s smile. He has Rocky and Adrian, who are more than enough family for him.
But who does Simon have, if not Grace?
