    Summary

    Stratt tasks Dr. Grace with studying Ken, a manufactured plastic life form, after the drama of the Hail Mary's launch.

    ***

    Stratt follows my gaze. "Dr. Grace, this is Ken. Ken, this is Dr. Grace. He will be working with you for the foreseeable future. Please remove your sunglasses."

    "Ken" raises his head but doesn't rise from his slouch. He lazily removes the chunky shades and tosses them away with a grin. He has a smaller pair underneath.

    "Remove *all* your sunglasses," Stratt barks.

    Ken scowls and takes off the remaining pair. I stagger backward in shock. "He's…it's…me!" Ken looks just like me—that is, if I'd spent all summer tanning at the beach and had my minimal fashion sense surgically removed.

    Summary

    The Light had turned Simon inside out and put him back together. He couldn't imagine that it had accidentally given him a gift during reassembly.

    --

    Simon blinks into existence in the Hail Mary's airlock, injured minutes ago, killed seconds ago, and already healed.

    Grace lays bedridden at the bottom of the Hail Mary, two months away from Erid and dying from malnutrition.

    Summary

    Maybe what scares him most is how meaningless it feels even to himself. He's fought so fiercely to live, to carve out space for himself with bared teeth and bloodied fists, but the force and drive that had him surviving for so long just isn't anywhere near enough in the face of this complete hopelessness. And so what else is he to do but slump into the corner and see if he'll get lucky enough just to slip gently into oblivion.

    And isn't that some sick fucking joke.

     

    Self-indulgent platonic bloodymary fic in which Simon is a teenager that Grace finds cast out into space to die. Someone needs to get that man a child.

    Or rather, the other side of one.

    At the hour of his death, a sinner prays:

    Hail Mary, Full of Grace...
