    Summary

    Grace is dying.

    Simon doesn't need to understand Eridians to know that.

    He stares from the doorway as Rocky takes a vigilant watch by Grace's side, little claws overlapping old scars. Bruises in the crook of elbows that won't heal. The shine robbed from his eyes.

    Nobody wants to see him go. Simon won't let him.

    -

    In which Grace navigates his lack of autonomy, Simon grapples with violating it, and Rocky can't fix.

    Summary

    Grace kept running, using frantic energy he had never felt before. He was sure if he just ran long enough, he would escape.

    Suddenly the trees ended and he was running through a meadow. The ground flattened and Grace ran faster, each breath burning in his throat as he chased his freedom.

    Something hit his back. He fell to the ground, the shock of it bringing tears to his eyes.

    Hands grabbed his arms, yanking them behind him. He twisted, crying out as he tried to get free, but he was no match for the weight pinning him down.

    He twisted his head to look up as Simon pulled a needle out of his pocket, pulling the cap off with his teeth and spitting it to the side. His gaze was cold, determined.

    “Please,” Grace begged. “Please, don’t do this Simon!”

    “I’m sorry,” the man said. “I have to.”

    He plunged the needle into Grace’s neck.

     

    In other words, Simon learns that Grace is getting sent on the Hail Mary and he makes the most selfish decision possible: saving Grace himself.

    Summary

    Colt grimaced and threw the last quick look at his phone, still ringing, sighed, picked it up and accepted the call.
    "-Look Ryland, I'm at work right now, literally walking up to the set. Whatever it is you want will have to wait until I'm done."
    He said, a bit harsher than he aimed to be. Another voice called out to him. One of the directors was getting upset. Damn.
    -"No Colt wait please-"
    Ryland's voice sounded through the speaker. He sounded weird, choked up.
    -"I'll call you later."
    He barked out and hung up before his brother had another chance to speak.

     Or:

    During a day on set, Colt recives a call from his brother, who he hasn't spoken to in a while. After getting a few more calls he gets fed up and leaves his phone on silent mode to continue recording the scenes for a new movie, and promises himself he will call Ryland after he's done with work. A couple of hours won't change anything right?

    Summary

    Simon has spent the better part of three years avoiding the Grace triplets, and for good reason. They leave destruction in their wake, thrive on chaos and somehow convince half of Fallbrook University to love them for it.
    So when one very drunk Ryland Grace barrels into him at a party, Simon expects nothing more than another reason to dislike the infamous brothers.
    Instead, Ryland does something Simon never expected.
    He apologises.
