   Summary

   Simon wakes, and doesn't find Grace beside him. Rather, in the claws of an Eridian that is clearly kidnapping him.

   Bad things then happen, and after that, better things happen. Then they have to deal with the fallout. (The fallout is most of the fic. Fallout means that the physical damage post kidnapping is perhaps the easiest consequence to deal with.) After all, your own mind is often your worst enemy<3
