    Summary

    "There’s something out there.

    It shouldn’t be possible, but my eyes aren’t lying to me right now. I don’t think, anyways.

    There’s an actual Blip-freaking-D right out there. Floating in space. Menacingly.

    Mary isn’t glitching. I feel like I might be sick."

    OR

    En route to Erid, the Hail Mary picks up a signal from an unknown object. It turns out to be a ship– an impossibly HUMAN ship, nearly 12 light-years away from anywhere that might make sense. Curiosity kills the cat, Grace and Rocky get a little bit more than they bargained for, and the Hail Mary might just have a new crewmate.

    If he lives, that is.

    Summary

    Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.

    “Can you…help me with something?”

    ---

    Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.

    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

    [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.
