    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    Summary

    Years pass. People grow. The world moves on without you. The Angel grew content with that for a while. It still hurt whenever they thought of the world that had long banished them, but something new pulled them out of the depths. Now, the Angel walks amongst friends who swear that they will not be banished. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei mean everything to them. Maybe this time, their banishment doesn't have to be as set in stone as they thought.

    The Roaring comes. The light falters. Everyone falls.

    A desperate connection is established in an attempt to save what remains of the Angel. If they fall, all hope will be lost. The world that banished the Angel long ago has forgotten them, but they have not forgotten it. This connection will have to be enough. Even if the rules have changed irrevocably, the Angel's one goal remains the same: Find them.

    Summary

    On Erid, Ryland Grace has spent decades building a new life among the Eridians beside his closest friend, Rocky. But while humans grow old, Eridians do not understand aging the same way—and for the first time, Rocky is forced to confront the terrifying idea of losing someone he loves.

    As Grace begins to reflect on time, death, and the life he left behind, the two friends find themselves facing a truth neither science nor logic can solve: some bonds become so deeply woven into our existence that even the thought of absence feels unbearable.

    Devastating, heart-wrenching, but you know what they say, something something "the pain surrounding their absence means there was love there and that they mattered while they were here"

    Summary

    Ryland Grace saved Earth. He saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.

    Instead, he kept living.

    As the years pass on Erid, Ryland finds himself caught in a strange kind of grace period: a life he was never meant to have, in a body and mind slowly losing the battle against time. Far from Earth, alongside Rocky, Adrian and the world that became his second home, Grace has to answer a question no mission training could prepare him for:

    What happens after the hero survives?

     

    or Grace learning to be an Eridian

    ☀︎ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ◎

    For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
    “Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
    Because, well—
    This might be the last time I ever cried.
    “No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
    “Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
    He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
    “Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
    “Still no understand humor.”
