    Summary

    Tom had always considered it particularly petty on Albus Dumbledore’s part in assigning Tom to be the one to introduce muggleborn first years to Hogwarts. He was sure that Albus thought it was some sort of teaching moment, exposing Tom to muggles repeatedly as though he’d gain some sort of empathy and moral epiphany whenever he met a half-decent parent.

    However, it didn’t matter how many muggles he met or how many of them actually tried to be a decent parent to their magical children. There were more failures than successes, more broken homes and troubled children than not.

    And it seemed to be getting worse every year.

    *
    Professor Tom Riddle discovers the child that was thought to be a squib is not. When opportunity presents itself so neatly, he is not one to shy away from grabbing onto it.

    Summary

    The Blood Eel only knows pain and isolation in its world. Others have come searching for answers, only to learn in the end that death is the only one that matters. But then it meets Simon. As it unmakes him it catches a glimpse of something its never seen before, Happiness. It wants to learn about it, yet Simon doesn't know it. It goes to throw him away, but then he utters a prayer.

    Hail Mary, full of Grace

    The Blood Eel searches the cosmos and comes across The Hail Mary, occupied by Ryland Grace, and it decides this is what Simon was asking for. So it obliges.

    What follows is the story of two lost souls coming together in a cosmic event, learning together to live, to love, to be happy. All while The Blood Eel looks on, insuring it continues to learn, one way or another.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Grace is kind, warm, and generous with his gentle touch. Simon just wishes he could stop hurting him in return. After biting the hand that feeds one too many times, Simon seeks out Rocky to build him some items to keep Grace safe.

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    AU where Simon did all his suffering on Earth and is dragged against his will onto the Hail Mary alongside Grace

    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    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. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. 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

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    This series is called bite-verse only because I keep stealing titles from bite by troye sivan, NOT because simon was bitten in this one.

    The works in this series are all related and take place, in my mind, in the same AU, but they vary from smutty works to more general fics exploring the worldbuilding of this AU that lives rent free in my brain. They are sorted in chronological order from the beginning of the story to the end of the story as much as possible, but due to the order in which I wrote these (aka VERY out of order) there may be some overlaps.

    enjoy!

    current series order:
    1) phoenix in the fire
    2) coax the cold right out of me (wip)
    3) rapture in the dark (wip)
    4) settle down

    Summary

    Griphook sighed, pulling a book from his desk.

    “After learning of your entry into the tournament, I requested the bank’s records on the rules,” he explained, flipping through the pages. “Other than death, that is.” The Goblin smirked slightly as he turned the book toward Harry.

    ‘In the event that the entered Witch/Wizard is pregnant or under a surrogacy contract said Witch/Wizard will be disqualified without risk to her/his magic or life. This clause takes place after the first insemination attempt for surrogacy-’’

    “...Are you telling me I can get pregnant?” Harry blinked in disbelief.

    -

    After his unwanted entrance into the Triwizard Tournament Harry will do anything to get out of it. Anything.

    This is a story of how one desperate attempt to get out of a contest changes the course of many peoples lives.

    Summary

    They were a match made in hell and he was hard-pressed to put a positive spin on it.

    Listen, the idea that Vlad was perfectly compatible with him emotionally, spiritually, sexually—

    It was a lot to take in. Danny had every intention of leaving it on the curb to rot and attract local wildlife.

    Summary

    Izuku had always hoped that, one day, he’d find a love just as strong and unbreakable as what his parents had.

    And, despite the dynamics not lining up, Izuku always imagined that the perfect alpha for him would, while being as sweet and understanding as his Mama, actually be a lot like his Papa.

    Someone tall and dark and settled.  Someone who could match Izuku’s love in depth and intensity.

    Which might be why Izuku takes one look at Eraserhead and falls head-over-heels in love.

    Summary

    Vlad never actually intended to care about the boy, but he made it impossible not to. Everything about him was painfully endearing, and somehow, at some point, the pettiest possible revenge plot turned into a desperate obsession.

    It was sick. He knew it was sick. That’s why he liked it.
