   Summary

   Summary

   Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...

   Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.

   (Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

   Summary

   Sam gets shot somewhere that's notoriously fatal for nearly every mortal.

   Good thing he's not every mortal.

   Or, rather, good thing he has a space-bending husband who does not care about rules and hates any thought of Sam dying.
