   Summary

   Blood rushes past Grace’s ears, and he can hear the steady thrum of his own pulse coming from somewhere in his head. His cheeks burn.
   This introduction was especially not going how he thought it would be.

   - - -
   This is a post-canon fic where there's a language barrier between Simon and Grace! Takes place after Grace and Rocky have made it to Erid and Simon has been dumped in the blood ocean. Lots of angst and eventually even more comfort.
