   Summary

   Grace lives a peaceful life on Erid, until the day he is woken up with news of an odd structure hurling through the star system. A partly man-made structure - with multiple people inside it. Living, breathing people.

   Living, breathing people who had very different, conflicting ideas about what they wanted from the future, and thus, from Grace.

   TLDR; Ava and Simon are found free-floating through space

   Using some Game lore for IL here, taking inspo from both book and movie Grace.

   Fast chaos/slow romance.
