Summary
Simon thought he'd died. He remembered releasing that stupid black box, he remembered the blood and pain, he remembered Ellie's teeth cracking down on SM-13.
Then he woke up, floating in that hateful submarine, in a pool of blood. Intact. Had that all been some terrible nightmare? Had he failed and was now doomed to die slowly in a portion of the ocean of blood?
Then the speaker that shouldn't be working cracked to life.
"Hello?"
--
Grace was content with how his life was going. Sure, he was light years away from Earth and all the other humans. But he was alive, he had a best friend and a whole planet that cared for his happiness and well-being. He got to teach once more and had a beautiful view that was created just for him.
But he was lonely. He had Rocky and the other Eridians of course, but he could really do with a cat or something to cuddle and love. Not that anything like that was going to happen -
Wait, why was the ocean bubbling? Was that a voice? Light? What was happening?!

Summary
Grace wakes up on a strange ship to gunfire, Adrian protecting him, and no clue was "C.O.I." means.
Simon is in the middle of losing his mind when space folds and a musical rock is suddenly taking up some of the SM-13's limited space.
Excerpt:
Grace takes a deep breath and tells the Hail Mary, "Scan for any signs of Eridian life, traces of xenonite, or radio signals. Do not report traces of Adrian or this radio signal.""Scanning for Eridian life. Inconclusive." Grace clenches his jaw, staring at the microphone like he'll hear what he wants if he doesn't blink. "Scanning for traces of xenonite. Inconclusive." Next to him, Adrian shifts, a low-tone humming emanating from them in an attempt to soothe Grace and themself. "Scanning for radio signals. One active signal found."
Relief floods through Grace, his breath rushing from him and his legs almost buckling. "Can you determine the source? Where is it?" he asks.
"The signal originates from below the surface of this moon's ocean."
"The signal is coming from within the ocean?"
"Yes, Dr. Grace."
"But that's impossible. We lost the SM-13's signal days ago," Ava says.

Summary
It's their third trip out since they found the taumoeba.
The Hail Mary has been upgraded, and now runs with a crew of nine Eridians. Plus the human mascot, Grace.
It might be his last trip out, but Grace is making the best of it. He's just in the way at that point. His eyesight is no longer needed for the ship to run smoothly, and he could be teaching instead. He's enjoyed the trip. He really has.
But the last of the new beetles are off, headed to distant star systems. Grace was settled in at the viewport when they found an anomaly.
That's an odd astrophage signature.

Summary
Simon wakes up. He hadn't thought he would wake up after his lungs were filled with blood. And yet, here he is, in a pitch-black room, wounds tended to, listening to the most beautiful song he's ever heard.
He's in a world where the stars are alive, and he's been rescued from his blood-soaked iron coffin by a strange, clever little rock-spider alien trying to save the stars. Of course he'll help. Too bad neither of them are biologists...
But the new human ship approaching them might have someone aboard who is... if they don't turn Simon into a lab rat first, anyway.[BloodyMary where Simon gets wormholed to PHM 'verse but it's before the Hail Mary arrives, so he's saved by Rocky and spends a while on the Blip-A]

Summary
Flambert Soulmate AU!
There’s no burst of colour. No red string that only you can see. Hell, even if you’re lucky enough to get a mark, it would be faint. Like a light scar that has faded over the years, to the point where you could barely tell there was a scar there at all.
Soulmates exist in this world.. but they are subtle.
A subtle feeling of familiarity with someone you haven’t met before. A faint warmth in your chest that grows stronger the more you feed the bond.
Unless you manage to activate the bond somehow, then you probably would barely notice you even had a soulmate to begin with. They could be your neighbour for years, a classmate, a colleague. And you could just pass them up everyday, without noticing the quiet buzzing in the back of your head that tries to alert you of their presence.
