    Summary

    "Yes. He must be dead.
    The blood eel had taken his left arm from him in the end. More than that even. His eye. His mouth.
    And apparently also his life.
    Simon drifts. It's so dark here, the pitch black making it impossible to tell if his eyes are open or shut.
    'This... Isn't so bad.' The thought comes to him as if pulled from a vat of molasses.
    He could stay like this. It was... Peaceful. In a way that he knew for a fact that he didn't deserve. Maybe the divine had granted mercy on his tarnished soul. Maybe The Last Tree had seen his devotion. Had seen his sacrifice at the end of it all and decided an afterlife of nothing was a fitting punishment.
    Simon let his body relax into the void.

    ......

    Or he would have, if it wasn't suddenly so LOUD.
    There was an awful grinding noise, like metal being ripped apart.
    And suddenly, there was LIGHT."

    Summary

    Shen Jiu spent a decade tied to an abusive husband who, very conveniently, died in a fire. Now he's trying the married life again, this time through a mail service, with a young lawyer picking fights with the encroaching railroad.

    Featuring a ton of sass, western a/b/o aesthetics, and a bit of arson, this is the married JiuYuan nobody asked for.

    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

    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.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be an alien from a society light-years away from your own, and he happens to be exactly what you were looking for all along.
