   Summary

   But Simon has always been good at surviving things he shouldn't.

   But he's going to live.

   No matter what.

    

   Or: Simon experiences the Iron Lung, filtered through my headcanons and stuffed into a fanfic-shaped box. This isn't a crossover (though there's a tiny Halo reference tucked in there); it's more of a rewrite of Iron Lung's ending.

   Can be read as a standalone!
