   Summary

   The beast appeared seventeen days before the man.

   The man, or maybe we shouldn’t call him a man quite yet, appeared late at night.

   -- OR --

   Grace is living a quiet, if boring, life on Erid when someone - or something - mysteriously appears in the biodome's ocean.

   Simon claws his way back to personhood.

   Summary

   "So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.

   "Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.

   Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.

   Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."

   "Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.

   "Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.

   Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.

   ***

   Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

   Summary

   Based on a tumblr post where Simon works at a flowershop (made it just a general plant store) and Colt was a regular that came in buying flowers for Jody until his accident. After that, Simon starts seeing Ryland around and mistakenly thinks he’s his brother.

   Miscommunication and shenanigans commence.
