    Summary

    "There's no need to negotiate for your safety, Doctor Grace," Stratt says sternly. "I can assure you, after saving the world, you will be looked after."

    "Um, no," he says, shaking his head. "I'm not negotiating for my safety." He steps aside. “I’m negotiating for theirs.”

    They walk into the light of the open doorway; Simon, squinting hard against the vivid sun with his hand raised to shield his eyes and Rocky, who chirps a casual "Hello, humans!" with a wave.

    There’s a gasp; someone takes a step backward; one of the military personnel raises their rifle slightly before Stratt makes a sharp gesture for them to stand down.

    Grace doesn’t have eyes for them - he only looks at Stratt.

    And he decides, then and there, to replace the image of Stratt’s face sending him to his death, full of remorse and sadness, with the one in front of him: utter, complete disbelief.

    Grace thinks he'll treasure it forever.

    or: rocky and grace (+simon) go to earth instead of erid

    Summary

    Ryland has been avoiding him.

    Not that Simon blames him. It’s one thing to be told that Simon is an experienced killer, it’s another to actually see it in practice.

    After a wild Eridian creature attacks the biodome and threatens to break it open, Simon is forced to call on his old Butcher instincts to kill it before it can kill them. Afterwards, however, Ryland won't even look at him, and Simon can't help but fear that it's only a matter of time before Ryland works up the nerve to tell Simon that he can no longer stand being around him, and kicks him out of the biodome.

    Then, about a week after the incident, Simon comes home to find that Ryland has prepared an extra special dinner for him. This must be it. His last meal in the biodome before Ryland sends him away forever.

    Only, it turns out there may be something else behind Ryland's recent behaviour than what Simon expected...

    Summary

    5 months ago, a series of space stations calling themselves the "Coalition of Iron" appeared throughout the 40-Eridani system, bearing a bewildering and terrifying story of a universe without stars, a humanity on the verge of extinction, and a moon made of human blood.

    Simon survived the Eel and the Eye, only to reimprisoned as soon as he was pulled out, subject to the whims of scientists who seek answers in his biology. Now, Ava's dumped him into the custody of a new scientist, separate from the COI, a complete unknown. He's learned better by now than to hope.

    Dr. Ryland Grace is pulled from his peaceful life on Erid to retrieve a specimen from the COI, an organism mutated by prolonged exposure to the blood ocean of AT-5

    He expects an amoeba. They bring him a person.

    Summary

    Simon is vaguely aware that Grace isn't exactly a noodle, but he doesn't think too much of Grace's strength.

    That changes very quickly the first time Grace picks him up and carries him.

    Summary

    “I called it the Good Luck quilt,” Grace says. “It’s all symbols of luck from across the world, it was a parting gift before the mission - but let’s not get into all that. It’s silly but it’s comforted me through some pretty hard times. I thought…I don’t know. I’m probably just being sentimental.”

    Simon grasps the edge of the quilt that he can reach, if only to make sure it’s real. It’s beautiful. There’s not a lot of color left in the world, and colorful, soft fabric of this quality is worth a fortune. The patterns are joyful, almost childish. For some reason that Simon can’t quite articulate through the sickness and exhaustion, it makes him suddenly very certain that this isn’t the COI.

    In Simon’s old universe, fabric, thread, and yarn are all precious commodities. He's had to learn to mend clothes and knit socks out of practicality. On Erid, it's a way to pay back what he owes, to make friends, and eventually, to heal.
    A love letter fiber crafts and the people who do them, an exploration of physical disability, and of course, a very soft love story.

    Summary

    What do you mean particles act differently upon being observed? How can multiple realities be true at once? How is the cat both dead and alive? Why did they go putting that poor cat in a box?

    On the trip back to Erid; Grace and Rocky come across a sub that shouldn’t be there with a man who know’s he shouldn’t be alive. Simon is REALLY grateful to be saved at first but what happens when you live beyond what should have killed you?

    Summary

    "...emitting a radio frequency, I tuned into it expecting little more than feedback, maybe due to a magnetic inbalance-”

    “And??”

    Wordlessly, they flick a switch, and the noise is played loud enough for the entire room to hear it. 

    “Please,” a voice sobs, “Please, it hurts- I'm scared, I just- please, I just want to live. Why doesn't anyone else want that? Why can't I- I want to-” it breaks off into more sobbing and the room practically vibrates with tension. 

    “That-! That is the language spoken by Engineer Rocky's Grace! That is HUMAN language!”

    “Yes.”

    “There is a human down there?? That shouldn't be-”

    “But there is. What now?”

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    “Simon, as far as I’m concerned, you can stay for as long as you want. No question about it. Just get some rest, okay?”

    Well. That settled it. This man was either fucking stupid, or he was the most kind hearted person that Simon had ever met. Deep down, he had a feeling he already knew which one.

    He looked up at Ryland with heavy, drooping eyelids to see hair sticking out in every direction, glasses askew, and a big cozy sweater swallowing his frame. Cute.

    If Simon didn’t watch himself, he was going to be in big fucking trouble. As his eyes fluttered closed, he also got the sense that it was already too late.

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    “I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”

    Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”

    Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.

    “My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
    -
    Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship, and somehow surviving the struggles of deep space—all while maybe falling in love with the strange man with blue eyes.

    Summary

    Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.

    “Can you…help me with something?”

    ---

    Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    Eva Stratt reviews the beetle probe footage Ryland Grace sent back; thirty-one hours of him solving the astrophage problem, introducing Rocky, and explaining how to save the sun. But across every video, in the background of every frame, is someone Grace has never mentioned. Someone injured. Someone healing. Someone who shouldn't be there at all.

    Stratt is very good at her job. She notices everything.

    "There’s something out there.

    It shouldn’t be possible, but my eyes aren’t lying to me right now. I don’t think, anyways.

    There’s an actual Blip-freaking-D right out there. Floating in space. Menacingly.

    Mary isn’t glitching. I feel like I might be sick."

    OR

    En route to Erid, the Hail Mary picks up a signal from an unknown object. It turns out to be a ship– an impossibly HUMAN ship, nearly 12 light-years away from anywhere that might make sense. Curiosity kills the cat, Grace and Rocky get a little bit more than they bargained for, and the Hail Mary might just have a new crewmate.

    If he lives, that is.
