  Summary

  Ryland Grace was sent to space against his will by a woman named Eva Stratt to try and fix a dying sun. He has no idea how to do this, nor does his alien friend he picked up along the way.

  But when he takes a break from the issue and ends up running out of fuel—which he surely had enough of for the trip— he has to land on a nearby moon. Which turns out to be completely made out of blood, with a mysterious godlike being slinking through the depths of the ocean.

   

  OR

  A bloodymary au where Grace discovers the blood moon, except instead of an iron lung, he discovers a semi-godlike being writhing through the depths, known as The Convict. Based on the Princess and the frog.
