    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    Simon has never been good with kids. When a child appears out of thin air in his submarine and the COI still refuses to pull him up, all Simon can do is protect her from the horrors of the ocean. Even if he knows there's not much hope for either of them to live.

     

    Ryland Grace is living his best life on Erid. He has a wonderful best friend, scientific colleagues who respect him, and students who adore him. Unless he decides to make the journey back to Earth, however, he doesn't expect to see another human any time soon. He certainly wasn't expecting to stumble upon a traumatized father and daughter welded into a blood-filled submarine.

    Summary

    Grace and Simon have ended their stories. Unfortunately, neither of them had their happy ending.
    Grace has found a tentative home on Erid. He's living with his soulmates, Rocky and Adrian. He's saved the stars, set foot on distant worlds... and he's starving. Not even just for food, although that's part of it. His first love was humanity, Earth. He loved science, teaching, and making friends. And now he's 10 years away from it all and desperate for human connection.
    Simon is objectively worse off. His prayer to live was answered by the Blood God, but in its ignorance it did not distinguish between Simon and the rest of the SM-13. He's stuck in a hellish limbo, encased in the mutant tree and fused with the submarine, reliving the horror of the last moments of his life, waiting for freedom.

    Will he get his freedom?

    I know I know. Another "Grace finds Simon floating in space" fic. Listen, I was blissfully ignorant. After consuming some bloodymary fanart I was unwillingly possessed by a hell-creature, vomiting the contents of this fic into my notes app while the Great Unknowable Eye of God beheld me in my stupor. After three days of not eating or sleeping, I returned to consciousness and had to upload this.

    Summary

    The first thing Simon Fischer learned about saving humanity was that no one asked whether he wanted the job. They simply informed him he was the only engineer qualified to keep the Mary alive. Every propulsion system, environmental control, fabrication unit, air recycler, or electrical failure would be catastrophic. If something broke millions of miles from Earth, there would be no repair crew to call, no replacement parts waiting in a warehouse, and definitely no second chances. There would only be Simon.

    He'd argued, refused, and even pointed out there had to be someone else. There wasn't. The sun was dimming, and every calculation ended the same way: someone had to go. So Simon went.

    He hadn't expected to become humanity's last engineer, and he certainly hadn't expected to become friends with a mysterious scientist welded into a submarine.

    Summary

    Simon doesn’t know if he fully believes the stars are dead. He does know that Father says they are, and he has to trust that. He has to trust that everything he's been told is exactly the way it is. But, when a man named Ryland is brought to Eden from a place of unknown origin, everything he's ever been taught about the world he lives in - and himself - are put into question. Does Simon have the strength to forge his own path under the watchful eye of Father and the other Sons of Eden? Or will he continue down a path of destruction, hurting Ryland in the process.

    Summary

    Distance was not unfamiliar for Grace, physical and emotional, it was like all his life had been living inside a bubble covering him to keep him in his solitude. He didn’t know what to do when that bubble burst against his will, forced to coexist with his best friend the alien, his brother, who he barely talked to anymore, and the quiet stranger that he rescued.

    Or Ryland is sent to space with his twin brother, and he rescues Simon along the way. And Rocky is here too.

    Summary

    Colt Seavers is asked to be a Stunt Coordinator for TerryBytes first film while Tom Ryder is on an "indefinite hiatus" that films in San Francisco. He accepts because the pay is great and he gets to hang out with his twin brother during filming.

    Simon Fisher is a brand new stuntman with a past he's trying to outrun that just wants to do a good job. When he learns the legendary Colt Seavers is joining, he thinks this is his big break. Then he meets Colt's twin brother, and damnit he's just Simon's type.

    Ryland Grace is just a science teacher, his brother is the big deal, not that he's particularly fond of what Colt does for a living. Well, okay, maybe it's not all that bad, especially not when he gets to be on set for his favorite Youtubers new movie when class gets out. But ope, his stuntman is the most handsome guy he's ever met.

    Then Tom Ryder enters the scene again, and all hell breaks loose.

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    --

    AU where Simon did all his suffering on Earth and is dragged against his will onto the Hail Mary alongside Grace

    Summary

    Stratt deals in outcomes.

    The equation was simple:

    One man

    for eight billion lives.

    The kind of math that pretends to be brutal but is, in truth, embarrassingly straightforward.

    And so she does not regret.

    Or,

    After 49 years, Dr. Ryland Grace comes back to earth with alien allies and a scarred stranger. (Stratt’s POV)

    Summary

    How many times in his life had Simon stared out into the fading stars, and heard others calling out to deities or a universe that didn’t care…or if it did, was powerless to fix anything. Simon didn’t know what was worse. And then, just when all his hope had been thrown alongside him into a Blood Ocean on a mysterious moon… he finds himself lost to a flash of light. Maybe the C.O.I were right all along, Grace is the true salvation.

    Now with sequel!

    Summary

    You knew it wasn’t safe to walk down the side alley, but you also knew it would cut a good ten minutes off your travel time and it was getting very late. You couldn’t help but look behind you as you walked, swearing you had seen something out of the corner of your eye. Suddenly you ran into something solid, which you quickly realized was a person. “Sorry! I didn’t see-” You stopped, getting a good, long look at him.

    He was wearing a long black coat with a deep red turtleneck that had him nearly blend into the shadows. His sunglasses were particularly off-putting as it was the dead of night, yet you couldn’t deny he was handsome. He softly grinned. “Don’t be sorry.” He stepped closer, which had you back up a step in response. He softly rumbled his next words, sending a shiver through you. “Well, aren’t you a lovely sight.”

    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.
