    Summary

    Simon wakes up in a new place with plants and a beach and an angel that takes care of him and keep telling him that he's not an angel, he thinks that maybe the angel just wants him to feel more normal about having a literal divine being so close all of the time.

    Or

    Grace wants to know where the hell this man came from, why did the eridians just shoved the poor guy in the biodome, why he doesn't have wings, why he looks like he went through hell and why he is actively but slowly mutating into... Something that Grace isn't sure what it should be yet. And he really wants Simon to stop thinking Ryland is an angel.

    Summary

    “You have to be careful, Simon. Try not to draw attention to yourself. You don’t want the wrong alphas sniffing around”
    Everyone knew that owning an omega meant the highest status. The stations desperately needed the new births to sustain the population. Simon didn’t want to be owned.

    “One day you’ll settle down, Grace. Find a pretty young thing like your mother. It changes you, son.”
    Grace didn’t want to be changed.

    Summary

    As a child Ryland is hungry for food, comfort, affection, safety and love. An uncertain number of years later, dying of malnutrition on a world that genuinely loves him, Grace is still haunted by this past.

    Of course he doesn't remember any of that.

    Chapter 3:
    Ryland isn't a thief. He isn't. He never takes anything that anyone still wants, he just picks up things they they forget or don't care about anymore. That's not the same as stealing and anyone who says it is is stupid.

    The half deflated ball that Freddy had kicked onto the school roof just to see if they could? That was Ryland's now. He'd got it down with the help of a drainpipe and a big stick, and he'd fixed it up with bubblegum and a bandaid and it was practically as good as new if you didn't mind blowing it up every half hour.

    And the GI Joe that those big kids he doesn't know had blown up in the alley with fire crackers was his as well. They'd melted his left arm all down, and then tried to send him into space with a bottle rocket, so obviously they didn't deserve him, even if they did still want him.

    Summary

    I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.

    There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.

    That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.

    Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.

    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

    The people of Erid understand discoveries and science can take time, but there is only so much hope they can grasp onto after so many years. There are only so many prayers to be said and only so many scenarios that can be dreamed.

    They are expecting a dejected crew -if anyone returns at all, not an alien ship and an even more alien person, supported by the only Eridian survivor, an antisocial engineer who knows nothing but facts and how to make anything he wants tick.

    Summary

    Gracie was perfectly fine and happy with his life in Erid. He really was.
    Simon just wanted to live. What would he be willing to do to get it? Simon meets a strange, unusually clean man who tells him he's safe with him. It has to be some kind of trick, a twisted game he doesn't yet understand. But he's willing to play to get what he wants.
    Grace could communicate better; it would save them a lot of trouble.

    Summary

    "Dream... Not of what you are... But of what you want to be..."

    When her mind first touched the empty, nameless stranger, Eleanor just knew this person would become incredibly important. But would Drifter's plan of playing nice and mending friendships really be the thing that saves not just the Hex, but all of reality? And even then, would it be enough to mend the ties that bind between two women who gave up on each other long ago?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is an asexual alpha. Simon, the new and only other human on Erid, happens to be an omega. Grace is terrified that Simon might eventually need him as an alpha... How mortifying! Grace could never satisfy his needs as an omega! So Grace is desperately trying to convey that he is NOT a good potential mate or an alpha in general (he always thought he was a good-for-nothing alpha). He just has to be his usual painfully awkward self and everything will be okay!

    But... Grace being caring, respectful, kind and selfless by nature does nothing to help his case as Simon naturally warms up to him with time. Somehow, they will have to figure it out.

    Or, Simon getting the care and affection he desperately needs from an impossibly gentle alpha (while Grace struggles with his complicated feelings and identity).

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    The Drifter has answered the call from across time and space to follow Albrecht Entrati to 1999. Arthur Nightingale chases the ghosts of the past and in the process finds the one person that will play an important part in his future. The Hex are stuck in a time loop. Home is where you make it, kiddo.

    This is intended to be a multi-chapter endeavor covering the events of The Hex quest and moving into post-canon storytelling with a set end. As of now it is set to be updated weekly on Saturdays, because I am a sucker with poor impulse control.

    7/11 NOTE: No chapter this week. We buried one of my oldest friends this week and I didn't have it in me to do much writing. Should be back to my regular schedule next week. Ch 23 is about halfway done but I didn't want to give you a half assed chapter or one that was incomplete. Take care of yourselves lovely humans, if not for yourself then because I asked you to.

    Summary

    If this had been one of those books, this would be a very dramatic way to go. There would definitely be an emotional speech, some tastefully coughed up blood (which was horribly inaccurate, but they seemed to love any excuse to have someone cough up blood), and maybe a really unearned last minute rescue.

    As it was, around the throbbing pain and increasingly blurred vision, I was mostly annoyed.


    What a stupid way to die.
