    Summary

    Papers are contracts. Stratt signs hundreds every day. Their marriage certificate was not special in that regard; just a document to legally bind them together, as Ryland had wanted.

    It wasn't what he wanted though. Or, it wasn't all of it. With every day that passed that Stratt seemed no more inclined to let him past her walls than before, he came to the sinking realization that she had little intention of actually being married.


    Here are some things that make being married to Eva Stratt exceedingly difficult:

    • She wants for the world, but not herself; trying to do nice things for her is like pulling teeth
    • She trusts Dr. Grace with the mission, but she does not trust Ryland with her heart
    • And this really should not hurt so much, because it's Stratt, but— she cares about him the way she cares about a coworker; or the way she cares about every human in the damn universe. She does not care about Ryland. Attraction does not equal affection. And with every day she does not acknowledge their marriage, it becomes clearer that towards Ryland, she feels neither.

    Summary

    “Uh, I— um. There’s— um.” She squeaks, not making any God damned sense, going back to avoiding Simone’s gaze.

    “Words, Grace, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.” Simone rasps, eyes trained on the woman in front of her, and Grace makes another embarrassed noise.

    “Sorry—! Sorry. Um. Okay.” She takes a deep breath. Simone has no clue what could be making her behave this weird. “There’s— there’s another way to help with your cramps. It’s just—” She pauses. “It’s a bit more… Unusual, in a way."

    Or, when Simone is struggling with some pretty intense menstrual cramps, Grace offers a way to help her feel better.

    Summary

    “They burned it off,” Simon confesses in a halting breath. It’s enough to stop Grace in his tracks.

     

    “I guess… they didn’t want their property to have a mark of Eden. So they held me down and burned it off.” He sniffs, eyes trained on something far, far away. “Hurt like a bitch.”

     

    It’s like a dagger in his heart. Slowly, he pulls his lips away from the mark, just far enough to look his lover in the eyes. Simon’s jaw clenches, then slowly relaxes, and it’s like Grace can see the walls crumbling.

     

    “It really hurt,” Simon repeats, his voice cracking.

    Grace learns why Simon has a scar on his neck.

    Summary

    Simon returns as a ghost and begins haunting COI. Ava comes face to face with her own frail mortality, her mind decaying along her DNA. After finding out that the black box Simon managed to save is too badly irradiated to get any kind of information out of, Ava has to send yet another convict down, to make sure that Simon did not die for nothing. Down below a God lies waiting.
    This is a dissection of what the fear does to the mind. Desperation, resilience, cruelty, kindness, despair and hope are all found here.

    This is a tragedy and it ends tragically. I attempted treating Ava as human as Simon, painting them both with terrible mistakes and attempts at fortitude.
