   Summary

   Ryland Grace wakes up on board the Hail Mary with no memory of how he got there or who he is. He is, despite his lack of memory, 100% certain he is unqualified to be in space. He does not like being in space. Every time he looks out a window he feels sort of nauseous. Unfortunately, he's kind of got to suck it up. He has literally no way back home - home, of course, being 11.9 light years away. And (as if everything else wasn't bad enough!) the only other living human on the Hail Mary is an engineer named Simon Fischer.

   Or, a bloodymary au where Grace and Simon are alone in outer space together (until Rocky shows up)
