    Summary

    "You called me psychotic", Ryder says, "when I first met you."

    Ryland frowns. It’s not the answer he expected. “I think you’ve got a screw loose."

    There is laughter in Ryder’s eyes.

    “You done talking yet?” he asks.

    "Maybe."

    *
    or,

    Ryland Grace doesn't really do sex. Tom Ryder doesn't really do feelings. And yet.

    Summary

    He cannot believe how enticing the idea is to go from being a degree-holding microbiologist expected to know everything to just some random hook-up tripping out of a trailer on a film set with crooked glasses.

    or, after being fired, Ryland needs a break... so, he goes to visit his brother on set and realizes he needs something else too.

    Summary

    Sierra Six had ruthlessly culled all of Court from himself, carefully paring away slices of the boy between missions and flinging them behind him to the depths of time, until all that was left was Fitzroy's asset. Could only be the weapon the CIA had invested so much in. But as Claire threw her arms around him in the safe house where Suzanne had stashed her, Six realised that he remembered exactly when he had last been held without the intent to harm.

    -

    Court Gentry is not used to being in control of his own life, much less someone else's. He doesn't suppose a change in situation is going to lessen the universe's interest in tossing him around like a ragdoll.

    He would be right.

    Summary

    I do not believe in prophetic dreams. There is no reaching beyond the veil, and there are no gods to send me guidance while I’m trying to rest.

    And, most definitely, there are no strange men crying for help in the middle of the night. No one is actually stuck in what looks like a submarine that is slowly filling with what I’m hoping is not blood. Even if I’ve been seeing it every night for the last couple of weeks.

    I try to ignore it, at least in my waking hours. I somewhat succeed in it.

    …That is, until I see a suspiciously submarine-shaped blob of please-please-please-let-it-not-be-blood through the Hail Mary’s telescope.

    Or: the Hail Mary finds the SM-13 on the way to Erid. Everything would be fine — if not for the second, much bigger (and suspiciously… toothy) thing floating in space next to it.

    Summary

    “Think you can open your eyes for me, sweetheart?” And okay, March maybe whined a little at that. Opening his eyes sounded like too much work; he was happy where he was, thanks, plus he didn't really want to think.
    Healy huffed out a laugh like he could tell exactly what went through March’s head. “Open your eyes,” Healy said, his voice firmer but still gentle. A command.
    Well, when he put it that way…
    March likes when Healy takes control. Healy likes when Healy takes control. It’s a win/win situation.

    Summary

    To say that Ryland Grace and Simon of Eden get off on the wrong foot would be the understatement of the century.

    Being rescued didn’t miraculously solve all of Simon’s problems. He has a lot to adjust to. Being a fresh amputee, the stars not being dead, aliens being real, living on an alien planet, having a human neighbor who doesn't want to kill him, trusting in this so-called “reality” that’s too good to be true… yeah, no, making friends isn’t a priority. Exiting survival mode is easier said than done. He barely even knows who he is when he’s not fighting tooth and nail.

    Grace is doing his best not to get attached to the handsome stranger he helped save. Simon may choose to leave Erid once he’s healed. He’s not so desperate for human company that he’d pursue someone who attacked him in their first-ever interaction. He has a good life here on Erid; he totally doesn’t dream of holding another human being’s hand, or being looked at fondly by someone with eyes, or seeing another person’s smile. He has Rocky and Adrian, who are more than enough family for him.

    But who does Simon have, if not Grace?

    Summary

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

    Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.

    But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.

     

    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.”

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    Simon's been on Erid, physically, for 2 months.

    He's been conscious for only a week.

    He doesn't trust Grace or Rocky by any stretch of the word, not even sure he's convinced those are their real names.

    And yet, seeing the usually cheerful, compassionate, and unnervingly trusting scientist so afraid had felt like a cold dead weight in his stomach.

    or

    Some overzealous Eridians(its quite literally a cult) decide to take matters into their own hands regarding their saving grace. All while Simon is still recovering from the blood ocean.

    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

    “But now he was sitting on the shore, shoes off and feet in the sand, humming to himself between sips of wine. The ocean was always so pretty at night, a soft fog settling over it. He hoped his body made a good source of food for the fish. He hadn’t looked it up. He should’ve.”

    “It was too late to back out now, though.”

    OR

    Ryland Grace is fired from his job and can’t stand to find another purpose in life, so he decides enough is enough and ends it. Simon isn’t so keen on letting this human go.

    Summary

    "I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."

    Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

    Summary

    “Knock Knock.”

    Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper. 
    ...

    How did he know that?

    A time-travel, sibling au where Ryland is sent back to the moment Project Hail Mary began, gifting him a second chance at reuniting with his brothers before returning to space. Now if only the brothers, who remember everything, can convince him to stay this time.

    Summary

    The man lying in front of her looks like Six. Almost exactly like him, actually. But there are hairline differences that she's only really seeing now that he's close. He's big, but not particularly muscular. He's wearing a shirt with Snoopy on it. When she checks his mostly bare arms, she finds none of the scars or tattoos she made a careful study of during the few days she knew him.

    She also realizes where she knows the divets on his nose from; her uncle has the exact same thing when he takes his reading glasses off and kisses her head goodnight.

    He's not Six. She has no idea who this is.

    "What the fuck." Claire whispers.

    -

    I could find him. I should find him. Stop him somewhere quiet and say…what? Hello?

    Hello. I work at Eastwood. I saw you today, talking to Ethan. I need to tell you something.

    Need to tell you something.

    Need you.

    I need you.

    Please.

    …That’s it, isn’t it? Was that not clear before?

    The majority of what I’m thinking, what I’m now doing, had already crystallized inside me before I even left work today. There’s no murkiness or indecision about what this is: I’m following this man. Right now I don’t know where he is, and yet I’m trying to find out where he lives and go there. I need to go to him and…stay there. That’s what I want.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, please don’t stop, I’ll be better, I promise,” Simon gasps as he shakes his head, gripping Grace’s shirt as his words rattle around his head so harshly they come tumbling out before he can think to stop them. “I’ll be good, I swear.”

    “Hey, hey, shh,” a gentle voice washes over his concern, eroding it away bit by bit as hands cup his face. “I gotcha, I’m right here, Flower, I promise.”

    As gentle lips return to his quivering ones, Simon’s eyes focus back in on the man over him, guiding him back to the present.

    ——

    Or

    Grace guides Simon through riding him for the first time while talking him through it. Slow and gentle as opposed to the quick and rough treatment he had grown used to.

    Summary

    “Big news! Statement.” Rocky chimes brightly.

    “Okaaaay. Lay it on me.”

    “Two things. First thing.” Rocky begins, holding one arm up, “Eridian crew return safe and sound from mission!”

    “That’s great!” He nods.

    Rocky holds up a second arm.

    “Second thing: Eridian crew find strange moon. No landmasses. Consisted entirely of an ocean of blood.”

    “That is...decidedly not great."
