    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.

    Grace's POV

    When an Eridian expedition happens upon a mysterious vessel floating in the middle of uncharted space, they bring it and its nearly dead pilot back with them. And now, suddenly, there's another human on Erid.

    Summary

    When Simon was rescued from the SM-13, he heard a beautiful voice that could only have come from an angel.

    But when Simon woke, he only met an endlessly rambling scientist and his talking pet rock. Still, as he adjusts to his new life and reckons with his old one, his mind still returns to the angel on the shore.

    Summary

    “Convict,” said the woman with the bone leg, her voice a dusky rattle. “You’ve been brought here to accompany a necromantic adept on a scientific expedition as his protector, in exchange for the pardon of your sentence.”
    “You’ll kind of be like my cavalier,” said the gorgeous man jovially.
    “He is not a cavalier,” corrected the woman. “Not even close.”

    aka: the locked tomb bloodymary au that (literally!) came to me in a dream. Simon is a former prisoner of the Ninth house prison tasked with protecting necromancer Ryland Grace and his best friend/fossil bone construct on a dangerous mission to a planet full of mysterious necromancy. fun stuff ensues.

    Ava steps into the room as the COI officers spin him back around. In her hands are two things: a cuff and a muzzle.

    “No,” Simon whispers again. There is nowhere to go and yet he still sways backwards.

    “Yes, Convict.”

    Summary

    “Why are you so worried about this? It’s just a guy.”
    It’s a valid question. It’s, in all honesty, a good question. It’s also one Grace doesn’t really have a good answer to. He could wax poetic about Simon’s eyes, the warm brown hiding a kindness he wants to get to know. He could tell Rocky that when he laughed he wanted to hear the sound for the rest of his days. He could ramble on about the way he could see his biceps clench through his long sleeve shirt as he made Grace’s drink.
    He could. But that would be freaking insane, because he had spoken to him for less than ten minutes and didn’t even know the man’s last name.

    Summary

    There’s something divine in the way Grace smiles— Simon has been damned since the day he was born.

    Bloodied then, too.

    OR: Simon is adjusting to a new life on Erid. One where things - he - can be different. But he's never known how to want things, how to quell his own desperation, and he fears fucking it all up far more than anything he's dealt with before.

    Summary

    Grace had "made peace" with the fact that he was going to live out the rest of his days on Erid inside a biodome, never seeing or interacting with another human person again. It was a small price to pay for saving the life of his best friend and an entire planet of intelligent life.

    Simon had "made peace" with the fact that he was going to die at the bottom of the blood ocean, alone in the dark with no hope of escape. Because not everyone gets to be saved.

    Neither of them expected fate to intervene on their behalf.

    After being rescued by an Eridian survey team, Simon is trying to find his footing in a place that challenges everything he knows. Meanwhile, Grace wants to solve the mysteries surrounding this handsome stranger sharing his living space. But both of them might find a lot more than they were expecting with one another.

    In the end, "making peace" is just something you say.

    Summary

    “Let it never be said that Simon of Eden doesn’t go down fighting.

    He staggers on his feet, agony dripping from his open arteries and veins to join the masses pooling in around him, but he doesn’t fall. Around him, the SM-13 walls shudder with the force of the Eel’s wailing. Her words are bouncing around in his skull, rattling and horrendous.

    But he is still alive. For now.”

    OR

    Simon dies at the bottom of an ocean of blood on AT-5. Except he doesn’t. Simon is re-captured by the C.O.I. and sentenced to death. Except he isn’t.

    Simon is, apparently, safe here now– wherever HERE is.

    Except he can’t be.

    Summary

    Simon wakes up. He hadn't thought he would wake up after his lungs were filled with blood. And yet, here he is, in a pitch-black room, wounds tended to, listening to the most beautiful song he's ever heard.
    He's in a world where the stars are alive, and he's been rescued from his blood-soaked iron coffin by a strange, clever little rock-spider alien trying to save the stars. Of course he'll help. Too bad neither of them are biologists...
    But the new human ship approaching them might have someone aboard who is... if they don't turn Simon into a lab rat first, anyway.

    Summary

    Simon has spent the last two years working for the COI to obtain a clean record after his participation in the destruction of Filament Station. When he's left on a drifter colony with a scrubbed identity and a tablet, Simon looks into ways to disappear from both the COI's gaze as well as Eden's, which leads him down what is perhaps the strangest avenue he's ever undertaken: a marriage visa.

    Dr. Ryland Grace may or may not know that his friend Rocky has put a marriage profile up whatsoever. Simon is lonely and Rocky is persistent. This may or may not be the worst idea in the history of the universe.

    (or Rocky uses a mail-order-bride broker to find Grace the Best Mate Ever and gets Simon)

    Summary

    “You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.

    “Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”

    A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.

    But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

    Summary

    Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.

    “Can you…help me with something?”

    Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.

    Summary

    WELCOME ABOARD THE HAIL MARY.

    “The Hail Mary?” The name reminded him of Eden. But Eden could only dream of this much light. This had to be heaven.

    Before the robovoice said any more, footsteps thudded towards them. Simon crawled back. Why weren’t his legs working? He looked down and at least they were still there. Oh God, please be heaven and not hell.

    A glowing figure threw the door open.

    ELEVATED STRESS SIGNALS DETECTED. PLEASE BREATHE AT THE TONE.

    His vision blurred again and he couldn’t even hear the chime this time, just strange musical notes. He could see the glowing figure dim into the shape of a man. No, no, this couldn’t be hell. After all, hell didn’t have angels.

    -

    Just your typical bloodymary fic. Let the poor boy live.

    Summary

    You ever see a fly endlessly bumping against a window so you open the window to let it out instead of just getting the swatter like usual. And it's all just on a whim?

    So, anyway, Simon somehow finds himself floating in space after screaming at a giant eye in an endless red void.

    Grace and Rocky are on the way to Erid when they come across an iron submarine with a dead eel monster hanging off the end.

    Simon gets to heal, Grace gets to interact with another human again, and Rocky gets to watch the incredibly awkward courtship rituals of these two disasters (affectionate).
