    Summary

    In this fic, Patton is a little, as I really enjoyed the Littles book series when I was younger. A little is basically the same as a borrower, but with a mouse tail. They’re about five inches tall and often live secretly in human homes.

    Summary

    What would being Eridian be like?

    Not being able to see, no eyes, no mouth, no face. Living for hundreds of years longer than any human. Walking freely around the alien planet you've been living on. Speaking with other Eridians properly. Teaching your students more effectively. Being able to touch other living things…

    Grace's breath hitches at that thought.

    or

    Grace gets to be an Eridian so he can hug Rocky properly (and not die!)

    (fic name comes from the Phoebe Bridgers song "I know the end" -a really great song highly recommended <3 )

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a mission he doesn't remember volunteering for. Alone on a ship scaled far too large for a borrower, he has to try to figure out why he's so far from home, and what he's supposed to do. On top of that, he needs to figure out why this mission is so prepared to have a borrower on the crew--standing at only six inches tall, it's easy to think none of this was meant for him. And yet, everywhere he looks he finds evidence that whoever built this ship built it with both humans and borrowers in mind.

    An impossible task looms over him. A scientific mystery has somehow sent him hurtling through space, impossibly far from any other human or borrower, and it's on him to surpass an extinction-level threat that doesn't care how big someone is. It will end the world all the same if he doesn't do something about it.

    But, despite what he thinks, he's not alone.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Simon's last prayers are answered.

    Unfortunately, the god answering his prayers has little concern for his mental wellbeing. The angel who saves him is okay, though.

    AKA your average simon-crashlands-on-Erid fic but with a fairly aquatic twist! Very gorey, I actually gagged while writing it which I think speaks to the tone of at least the first chapter. I'll be messing around a lot with the themes of humanity and the effects of being connected to something that hurt you. Will probably update semi-regularly if I don't get burnt out, but this shit has been plaguing my brain for a good while now so maybe we'll get somewhere who knows!!!

    Title from Stones by the Narcissist Cookbook! If this makes even one person listen to this song I'll be happy, it's SO phm-coded (https://jammechanics.bandcamp.com/album/s4e7-chat-i-got-him)
