    Summary

    Simon's been on Erid, physically, for 2 months.

    He's been conscious for only a week.

    He doesn't trust Grace or Rocky by any stretch of the word, not even sure he's convinced those are their real names.

    And yet, seeing the usually cheerful, compassionate, and unnervingly trusting scientist so afraid had felt like a cold dead weight in his stomach.

    or

    Some overzealous Eridians(its quite literally a cult) decide to take matters into their own hands regarding their saving grace. All while Simon is still recovering from the blood ocean.

    Summary

    The "Dr" in Dr Ryland Grace is an academic title, not a medical one. He can handle microorganisms just fine. Human bodies in need of first aid, less so. Human-ish bodies bearing radiation-induced piscine mutations never before seen to science, bleeding out and missing limbs and carrying so, SO many infections? Firmly out of his wheelhouse.

    But oh, when he finds a submarine(?) floating in space(??), carrying a disoriented, mutated, half-dead man allegedly from another dimension(???), he cannot shut off the Science Brain. His list of questions is a mile long.

    Maybe he'll even get some answers once this man is no longer actively dying. Correction: IF he can get this man past the point of actively dying.

    (I fell down a research rabbit hole about the absolutely HORRENDOUS ways that even the most basic medical care can go wrong in space. I then decided it would be fun to add ✨mystery mutations✨ and ✨Simon's trauma smorgasbord✨ to the mix)

    Summary

    Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.

    The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”

    He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”

    “Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”

    (Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

    Summary

    Simon has never been good with kids. When a child appears out of thin air in his submarine and the COI still refuses to pull him up, all Simon can do is protect her from the horrors of the ocean. Even if he knows there's not much hope for either of them to live.

     

    Ryland Grace is living his best life on Erid. He has a wonderful best friend, scientific colleagues who respect him, and students who adore him. Unless he decides to make the journey back to Earth, however, he doesn't expect to see another human any time soon. He certainly wasn't expecting to stumble upon a traumatized father and daughter welded into a blood-filled submarine.

    Summary

    Grace didn’t wake up in the beds of strangers anymore. In fact he hadn’t done that in almost fifteen years. Instead he woke up in his one bedroom apartment, alone but comfortable, and definitely not hungover.

    That was until an old memory decided to pop back into his life.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace unfortunately became important at work. His boss, Director Eva Stratt, moved him back to the states right after a three-month sabbatical to help Ava Ironchild with a strange issue. Her sanctuary has been struggling with a recent arrival, and someone needs to step in. Grace, for a reason he doesn't understand whatsoever, was the first person Eva thought of to deal with this... at least he gets to see his old friends?

    Summary

    1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
    2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

    Genesis 1:1-2

    Simon is offered a new life. He can't be sure if he's deserving of one, but he wants it nonetheless. He'll have to leave behind his own world and take with him only the scars and memories. And he will. Because who refuses God's offer?

    Summary

    After ramming the sub straight into the Light, Simon wakes up on a strange spaceship with no memory of how he got there. The state of the Hail Mary -spacious, clean, bright and comfortable- can only lead to one conclusion: Simon has somehow been picked up by one of the highest-ranking leaders of the C.O.I.

    Luckily, Dr. Grace doesn't seem to recognize him, buying Simon enough time to hatch yet another desperate plan for survival before his identity is discovered. In the meantime, Simon tries his best to stay in the man's good graces (no pun intended), but he's hardly known for his charming personality.

    Both of them are in for a bumpy ride.

    Summary

    Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...

    Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.

    (Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

    Summary

    Simon faced a God and survived. He's not sure if its either in spite of or because of. What he does know is that his universe cannot have produced a man as incredible as Ryland Grace.

    But it seems the God is not yet done with him, and Grace has only started.

     

    This fic is mostly to satisfy the part of my brain that likes nitty gritty world building details, and I want to watch Simon and Grace be gentle to eachother and feirce to the world, and I want to put them in a lab

    Summary

    “You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.

    “Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”

    A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.

    But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

    Summary

    So, dead or alive? Abandoned or absolved? What was he– Simon the Convict, Simon the Butcher– against this backdrop of blackness? Nothing? Everything? Inconsequential? Pivotal? Thoughts eddy through his mind until he is drowning in them.

    Until he hears a noise.

    A sound that takes shape and defies his muddled understanding of his current existence. Wavelengths that weave the shredded actuality of Simon back into something whole, something that very nearly makes sense.

    A voice.

    ~OR~

    En route to Erid, Ryland Grace pulls Simon out of a blood soaked Iron Lung. Simon doesn't know what's real, what to believe, what to trust. Grace is kind and gentle and Simon wants so badly to be safe. But whatever put him in Grace's path to begin with doesn't seem to be done with him yet.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening.

Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    Simon died. Eaten and consumed by the Blood Eel. Not until he wakes up in a place called Erid where sentient rocks live and a guy who can’t seem to wear his glasses the right way.

    OR

    Simon gets thrown into Project Hail Mary because he deserves to be taken care of after the ending in Iron Lung. (basically, in other words. Simon and Grace act stupid, made everyone in Erid their spectators of their stupidity)

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.
