    Summary

    “Well, I think it started with a B. Mr. B… Buh… uh…” Grace swung the door open.

    Before he could stop himself, he crashed into a person who was going out at the same time...
    He then realized, in the collision, he had spilled his coffee all over this stranger. Oh no.

    “Gah-what the fuck, man?!” the stranger exclaimed in a deep, gravelly tone.

    “Oh my gosh oh my gosh I’m so sorry-” Grace stepped back, barely keeping his balance, then started digging in his bag. “I-I think i have napkins o-or something.” As he pulled the napkins out and pressed them to the stranger’s chest, he noticed the guy’s lanyard.

    Simon Butcher, Language Arts

    Oh yeah, that was the name.

    OR

    Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher, with very little life outside of being such. Which doesn't really bother him. That is, until he meets the new English teacher, Simon Butcher. The two are so very different, like a hot black coffee and a caramel frappacino. But, is that really such a bad thing? As the too get closer, maybe their differences aren't as pronounced as they'd thought...
    What's that phrase, 'opposites attract?'

    Summary

    Living in the Districts was, erm. ‘Bad’ didn’t nearly begin to describe it–but Ryland figured that with Courtland and Colton, things would be okay enough.

    But then Colt’s name gets called at the Reaping.

    Ryland would not let that happen.

    Or: All Ryland ever needs is someone to be brave for.

    Summary

    Vampire Ryland Grace gets sent to space where he is expected to save the stars. Werewolf Simon the Butcher gets sent into the blood ocean of AT-5. Twice. Both carry the weight of saving humanity, and in doing so manage to find each other.
    Fic is almost fully written, updates daily or every other day! The tags are heavy, but each chapter has individual content warnings. I don't think any of it is much heavier than canonical levels of suffering.
    ---
    "The intent had always been a one-way mission. A last ditch attempt to keep humanity alive.
    Grace's role in all of it?
    To be the failsafe, until he found a way to end it all.
    ___
    Simon’s skin crawled, twitching and prickling with chills despite the heat. He yearned to be let out of this oppressive thing. A prison far worse than he could have ever imagined when the COI came to him with the offer of reformation and freedom.
    He should have known better than to trust that he’d have a year of body-breaking manual labor and then could be released into the general public.
    No, they had something special planned for the Butcher of Eden. "

    Summary

    A lot can happen in six months. Grace never thought that might include a zombie apocalypse, the collapse of modern civilization, and him going on the run from the government, but at least life can’t get any worse by now, right?

    Simon would like to disagree with that idea, thank you very fucking much.
