    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

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

    All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

    OR

    The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

    Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

    “That’s very strange," He remarked.

    “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

    “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”

    Summary

    It is red. A bright, remarkable red. Ryland unbuckles himself, stepping around Rocky to press his hand to the window, and rubs at his eyes when his vision blurs. “Rocky.”

    “Grace-friend sit down. Head leaking.”

    “It’s got an ocean.”

    -

    An AU where Simon survives to be found by Grace, and accidentally brings something else with him.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.
