   Summary

   Simon is determined not to become the monster the COI thought he was. Grace is determined to have a conversation, preferably in coherent sentences, and possibly involving sex.

   Communication between these two humans is clearly going very well. (It isn't.)

   (Trans!Grace; both these men need therapy but especially Simon; serious prison-related trauma; Grace is bad at reading people)
