I Talk Real Slow, And Speak Real Low (Hoping She'll Lean Into Me) by ghoullovinbutch

Summary
Simone has been in education as a paraprofessional for years at this point. He's gotten used to the routine. That includes summer work like summer school, crosswalk, painting classrooms, and doing other menial tasks for staff on campus for some extra money over break. So when some hotshot new teacher shows up and tells admin that his and Ava's help isn't needed to paint their room, robbing both of extra work hours, he's a little annoyed. Unfortunately, it's hard to stay mad at someone when they're one of the few teachers to understand your work. Maybe she wouldn't be the worst clueless newbie to stroll through the gates.
Doctor Rylee Grace has finally earned their teaching credentials, and the upcoming year will be her first as a solo eighth grade science teacher. Pro?: she finally has her own classroom she can decorate and set up as she wants. Con?: they appear to have rubbed some of the staff the wrong way. Pro?: one of the paras is cute and kind and also butch (and just her type). Con?: said para is completely oblivious to the effect he has on Rylee. His friend, however, seems to not like her much.

Summary
Footsteps and shuffling outside the door break Grace out of the uneasy doze he’d fallen into after being shoved into the cell. If he’d known he was going to be detained, he never would have steered the Hail Mary toward the mysterious cobbled-together-looking station hanging in loose orbit above the tiny dark planet.
Blinking to bring himself to full alertness, he stares dully forward as bodies approach. He knows by now that he can't understand these people. What's the point in saying anything?
“Hey,” a voice says, low and rough. It’s a new voice, different from the ones who chased him down and threw him in a cell. Grace ignores it. So they're mimicking him now? Great.
The new person clears their throat, then coughs like it was painful. He hears them muttering something, and a more familiar voice – one of the guards – growls back. Grace listens with everything he has, tuning all the xenolinguistic skills he's learned working with Rocky into the problem, and he still can't tell what the heck they're saying.
“Hey,” the new voice says again. “Ai, uh...ai herdjer talkin' oldstyle.”
“...What?” Grace tumbles to his feet and stumbles forward. “What did you say?”

Grace parses that. "He's not taking you seriously when you talk to him?"
"Keeps trying to hug nurses, statement. Upsetting. Upsetting."

Summary
Grace has come to terms with the fact that he will never see another human or Earth again. And that's okay, because he's happy on Erid with Rocky and Adrian. However, with the Hail Mary in mint condition, the Eridians propose that he travels to a red moon in a planetary system with a dead sun, along with Adrian and Rocky, to determine just why it's so...weird. The answer's no. Obviously.
Until they hear a human distress signal coming from that exact moon, and suddenly everything changes.

Summary
"The starvation-predation hypothesis (SPH) posits that, during food shortages, the risk of starvation requires prey to forego antipredator behavior to increase feeding rates. Such shifts in antipredator behavior may further increase the risk of predation."
Grace finished his math and flitted his eyes over the formulas, checking for errors. The result had him pretty confident that Rocky would wake up before it was too late to check out the anomalous blip. Satisfied, he acknowledged the alert and silenced it for the next six hours. Mary would only re-alert him if something new appeared or the blip suddenly changed trajectory or speed.
Grace flopped back in the pilot chair and looked over at the window in the side of the cockpit. It pointed in the same direction as the cupola downstairs, and Grace found himself staring at the binary stars again. A bright blue-white dwarf and its dimmer red-gold mate, quietly dancing and switching sides every few days as they orbited their primary star together. The odd pair. The dancing couple.
As far as Grace knew, they were reflecting off the retinas of the only creature who could sense light within about 15 light years.

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 and compassionate, 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
It's their third trip out since they found the taumoeba.
The Hail Mary has been upgraded, and now runs with a crew of nine Eridians. Plus the human mascot, Grace.
It might be his last trip out, but Grace is making the best of it. He's just in the way at that point. His eyesight is no longer needed for the ship to run smoothly, and he could be teaching instead. He's enjoyed the trip. He really has.
But the last of the new beetles are off, headed to distant star systems. Grace was settled in at the viewport when they found an anomaly.
That's an odd astrophage signature.

Summary
Vampire Ryland Grace gets sent to space where he is expected to save the stars. Werewolf Simon the Butcher gets sent into the blood ocean of AT-5. Twice. Both carry the weight of saving humanity, and in doing so manage to find each other.
Fic is almost fully written, updates daily or every other day! The tags are heavy, but each chapter has individual content warnings. I don't think any of it is much heavier than canonical levels of suffering.
---
"The intent had always been a one-way mission. A last ditch attempt to keep humanity alive.
Grace's role in all of it?
To be the failsafe, until he found a way to end it all.
___
Simon’s skin crawled, twitching and prickling with chills despite the heat. He yearned to be let out of this oppressive thing. A prison far worse than he could have ever imagined when the COI came to him with the offer of reformation and freedom.
He should have known better than to trust that he’d have a year of body-breaking manual labor and then could be released into the general public.
No, they had something special planned for the Butcher of Eden. "Series

Summary
Ryland Grace isn't teaching summer classes this year, so he comes up with the bright idea of going on a "vacation" - AKA, driving across nearly the entire continental United States to go to a research summit. His car breaks down just outside a town so small it's hardly included on maps: Salt Creek, Tennessee, right by the Kentucky border. Maybe it's the warm spring air, the charming tiny library, or the cheap diner food that makes him want to stick around awhile. Or maybe it's the quiet, handsome stranger fixing his car.

Summary
There is a void where they could not save the stars. Empty and cold, it lays dormant in its silent death. But some erdians found something impossible: life. Moving, writhing, violent life.
And they brought it home to Erid. Back to where Grace can learn and observe the impossible alongside his friends and neighbors.
But what they brought back isn't some mindless creature. It's not just a violent beast. It's human. Undeniably human.

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.- Language:

Summary
“Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”
That made Grace pause. “What?!”
“If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”
“Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.
“Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.
---
When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

Summary
A Eridian scout ship finds an injured human and returns him to Erid. Doctor Ryland Grace is initially excited by the prospect of another human being! But after a catastrophically failed first encounter where Ryland tries to save this newcomer's life as the expense of any trust, they must learn relearn to trust each other.
---
“If you leave,” Ryland pulled himself to his knees, “You’ll die.” He pressed his hands to his knees and stood to his full height.He lunged again, driving the stranger’s body into the wall. A pained roar echoed off the walls and threatened to drown out all else. A fist connecting with the side of his head. His vision blackened, vignetted at the edges. Grace screamed an answering roar of his own. Before his legs gave out, he dug in his heels, struggling against the man fighting for his life against him.
