    Summary

    Ryland Grace has never been great at making friends. Now that he has a mutated, traumatized, and possibly insane man in the Hail Mary's quarantine room, he wishes he would have practiced more. Rocky wishes they'd ejected the monster out of the airlock.

    Summary

    I do not believe in prophetic dreams. There is no reaching beyond the veil, and there are no gods to send me guidance while I’m trying to rest.

    And, most definitely, there are no strange men crying for help in the middle of the night. No one is actually stuck in what looks like a submarine that is slowly filling with what I’m hoping is not blood. Even if I’ve been seeing it every night for the last couple of weeks.

    I try to ignore it, at least in my waking hours. I somewhat succeed in it.

    …That is, until I see a suspiciously submarine-shaped blob of please-please-please-let-it-not-be-blood through the Hail Mary’s telescope.

    Or: the Hail Mary finds the SM-13 on the way to Erid. Everything would be fine — if not for the second, much bigger (and suspiciously… toothy) thing floating in space next to it.

    Summary

    Simon thought he had given his last. His last gasp, last fighting breath. He was going to be the last one to go against the beast. And he was going to die, he was dying. Alone and full of rage.

    But then the light fell upon him and brought him an angel. No not an angel but something more. Now he must come to terms with the fact that he's alive. Broken but alive. And not alone anymore. Somehow, he was saved by a man named Grace and his...companion? some odd creature that was named Rocky. But did he really get out of that hell? or does the blood and the beast still have its claws in him? They have a mission of their own, to save the stars before they die, to save their planets from destruction. Simon must choose whether to fall back into the blood's echo or help them in the void of space. Maybe, just maybe he will find a home.

    Summary

    My eyes are wide, but I see nothing. My hand clenches around the sheets. My heart is pounding in my ears. I’m clawing through my brain, scratching at every inch of it to dig up something but there’s just… nothing. No memories. I can’t dredge up anything past the first time I woke up in this bed. I don’t know where I came from. I don’t know what happened to me.

    I don’t know who I am.

     

    Simon arrives on Erid with no memory. His wounds, his vessel, and his fear are his only clues to his past, and Grace his only shepherd.

    Or

    Simon experiences amnesia on Erid similar to the amnesia Grace experienced on The Hail Mary.

    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.
