    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    Summary

    Simon washes up on the beach in the biodome on Erid, bloody and mangled, and it's up to Ryland Grace (and Rocky!) to nurse him back to health and piece together exactly what happened to him. Simon may have a few misconceptions about where he is and why.

    Or,
    My personal take on the whole Project Hail Mary/Iron Lung crossover thing lol

    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    Summary

    [FINISHED WORK WITH EPILOGUE ONESHOTS]
    Ryland Grace has officially lived on Erid for one whole year. Everything's set up to his liking. He has food, a lab, and his best friend who visits him on the daily.
    Sure, he's the only human person here. But given his background, he doesn't mind suffering from touch-deprivation. He's safe right where he is.
    Well, not for long. Now, there's a new guy. Who's pragmatic and flat when it comes to any form of expression.
    That's fine! Grace can deal with that. He has no worries...
    And why does Rocky keep trying to push the idea of them dating.

    ----
    Or here's my take on the Ryland Grace x Simon ship. I had a vision, I followed it to the end.
