Summary
Ryland Grace woke up 11.9 light years away from Earth not knowing who he was. With time, the memories came back, but he still doesn’t remember it all.
Of course now, as the Hail Mary is en route for Erid, Grace is struck with memories of what can only be depicted as deep-seated emotional trauma.
And of course that happens after he’d managed to trigger a localized spacetime geometry failure in the middle of interstellar deceleration during which a literal submarine crashed into them, leaving Rocky and Grace to solve yet another doomsday scenario.
Never a dull moment in intergalactic space.

Summary
Maybe what scares him most is how meaningless it feels even to himself. He's fought so fiercely to live, to carve out space for himself with bared teeth and bloodied fists, but the force and drive that had him surviving for so long just isn't anywhere near enough in the face of this complete hopelessness. And so what else is he to do but slump into the corner and see if he'll get lucky enough just to slip gently into oblivion.
And isn't that some sick fucking joke.
Self-indulgent platonic bloodymary fic in which Simon is a teenager that Grace finds cast out into space to die. Someone needs to get that man a child.

Summary
Grace turns his gaze back to the craft in front of him. Now that he takes a closer look, it is a craft, and a shoddily constructed one at that. Even from this far away, he can see patches of metal roughly welded together to create something just this side of airtight.
At least it used to be. The thing looked like it had been hit by a bulldozer, and then backed over for good measure. There were holes punched into the metal big enough to stick his arm through, the glass on the front was cracked, one tap away from shattering completely, and the whole thing was covered in dents and scratches. He couldn’t even see any way for the thing to propel itself. He leaned in a bit closer to see around the back and … is that a propeller? Like on a-
“..submarine?” He whispers, almost to himself, trying to process what’s in front of him. Maybe he needs that nap a bit more than he thought.Bookmarked by PurpleApples

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.
