   Summary

   Simon’s life as an unattached omega was hell before landing on the Hail Mary, Luckily, the one alpha he ever has to be around now is kind, even in the deepest of his ruts. Maybe this is someone who’ll never force anything on him
   -
   Grace’s life as a lonely alpha was what landed him on the Hail Mary in the first place. Thankfully, he gets another chance at connection when he meets a snappish omega with far too many scars. Maybe this is someone he can finally care for

   OR: Grace and Simon are the only two humans on board the Hail Mary, and even though the suppressants ran out months ago they’ve found something that works for them. They’ve prepared for any possible problem… except one.
