    Summary

    Grace and Simon have ended their stories. Unfortunately, neither of them had their happy ending.
    Grace has found a tentative home on Erid. He's living with his soulmates, Rocky and Adrian. He's saved the stars, set foot on distant worlds... and he's starving. Not even just for food, although that's part of it. His first love was humanity, Earth. He loved science, teaching children, and making friends wherever he went. And now he's 10 years away from it all and desperate for human connection.
    Simon is objectively worse off. His prayer to live was answered by the Blood God, but in its ignorance it did not distinguish between Simon and the rest of the SM-13. He's stuck in a hellish limbo, encased in the mutant tree and fused with the submarine, reliving the horror of the last moments of his life, waiting for freedom.

    I know I know. Another "Grace finds Simon floating in space" fic. Listen, I was blissfully ignorant. After consuming some bloodymary fanart I was unwillingly possessed by a creature from hell, vomiting the contents of this fic into my notes app while the Great Unknowable Eye of God beheld me in my stupor. After three days of not eating or sleeping, I returned to consciousness and had to upload this.

    Summary

    OR; After finding himself in the past, Ryland Grace has to try his best to keep his head down and figure out what he wants to do with his second try at solving the Astrophage problem and returning to his family. He struggles with language barriers, culture shock, and worst of all: he never really recovered all of his memories from his first time on earth.

    Summary

    Simon Fletcher was awaiting an execution when he was given a chance to save earth and the stars- to make up for his sins, only for it to all fall apart while he could do nothing.

    Ryland Grace studied hard to learn what happened during the Quiet Rapture, but he crossed one too many lines and is now facing his own execution via blood ocean.

    They're both facing their own worst-case scenarios. Now what?

    __
    OR:
    Simon is from the Project Hail Mary universe and they waited a little longer to deal with their problems. Grace is from the Iron Lung universe and he's about to figure out how fucked he is.

    They might just be the answer to each others prayers

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...
