    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    Summary

    The Blood Eel only knows pain and isolation in its world. Others have come searching for answers, only to learn in the end that death is the only one that matters. But then it meets Simon. As it unmakes him it catches a glimpse of something its never seen before, Happiness. It wants to learn about it, yet Simon doesn't know it. It goes to throw him away, but then he utters a prayer.

    Hail Mary, full of Grace

    The Blood Eel searches the cosmos and comes across The Hail Mary, occupied by Ryland Grace, and it decides this is what Simon was asking for. So it obliges.

    What follows is the story of two lost souls coming together in a cosmic event, learning together to live, to love, to be happy. All while The Blood Eel looks on, insuring it continues to learn, one way or another.

    Summary

    Eridian scientists and engineers had been working on a project unknown to Ryland Grace, one that would give him the chance he thought he gave up years ago. A life he thought he would never get back. Brothers he thought he'd never see again.

    Or, Grace go home, and bring Rocky, Adrian, and Simon with him

    Summary

    Grace laid Simon down into bed and tucked him underneath the covers. He stood to leave, but Simon's fingers caught the inside of his wrist, right at his pulse point, and he whispered two words.

    "Stay. Please."

    His voice was hoarse, and beyond that, broken, as though something fundamental within him had to shift without his permission, and he could not reassemble the pieces by himself.'

    5 times Grace attempts to take care of Simon, and 1 time Simon looks after Grace.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Nothing beats cuddles, if you ask me,” Grace said, trying to lighten the mood.

    Simon’s frown only deepened. “I wouldn’t really know.”

    Grace’s smile dropped. He fidgeted with his glasses, an idea already forming, but no. No, that’s a lot to ask. Too much. They’re barely friends. More like roommates of pure circumstance who mostly get along.

    But what if…?

    “Would you…” Grace started. Stopped. Tried again. “This is like, totally no pressure, and you can say no. But, uh, if you wanted to, we could, um—”

    “Spit it out, man,” Simon said, not unkindly, if a little annoyed.

    “Wouldyouwanttotrycuddlingwithme?”

    Simon blinked. “What?”

    Or... against all the odds, Simon finds himself in Ryland Grace's universe. This is how they find home.
