    Summary

    “I don’t know,” says Simon. “I don’t even know where we’re going, they won’t tell me.” He buries his face in his knees and arms again, and Grace hears something that sounds suspiciously like a sob. Maybe Simon’s eyeballs were sweating too.

    “You have to promise you’ll come back,” Grace demands, his own lower lip trembling. "Pinky promise!" He jabs his pinky into Simon’s cheek and pokes him with it until Simon looks up.

    Simon’s eyes are red-rimmed, but Grace’s glad that he’s managed to surprise just the tiniest smile from him. “I’m not pinky promising, that shit’s for babies,” he says, eyeing Grace’s extended pinky with mock disdain.

    “Then how am I supposed to know you’ll keep your promise?” Grace shoots back.

    “We gotta seal the deal with something else,” Simon says seriously.

    A modern-day AU with no astrophage or the quiet rapture where Simon and Grace are childhood friends and met at a playground when they were eight.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    He had stood before Simon and stayed and damn him if even for just a second, he wanted to believe that heaven was real.

    He had offered his kindness, his patience, his hand, and selfishly— foolishly, Simon prayed that for once, just once, his gluttony could go unburdened. That daring to desire instead of condemn— That daring to run and breathe and wonder wouldn’t lead him towards the light and then paint the gates to heaven in his filth.

    Funny. There’s blood everywhere, but none of it is his.

    AKA: A group of Eridians attack the house. Simon deals with the aftermath. Ryland echoes what transpired. Both have a bad time.
