    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

    You ever see a fly endlessly bumping against a window so you open the window to let it out instead of just getting the swatter like usual. And it's all just on a whim?

    So, anyway, Simon somehow finds himself floating in space after screaming at a giant eye in an endless red void.

    Grace and Rocky are on the way to Erid when they come across an iron submarine with a dead eel monster hanging off the end.

    Simon gets to heal, Grace gets to interact with another human again, and Rocky gets to watch the incredibly awkward courtship rituals of these two disasters (affectionate).

    (AKA, it's my turn to play with the BloodyMary boys! :D )

    Summary

    Simon doesn't know where he is, how he's alive, or why the guard stationed to watch him is sleeping on the job. All he knows is that the air is easier to breath here.

    Grace can't believe his luck. After being the only human on this alien planet for so long, he finds himself looking down at a sleeping person in his home.

    Summary

    Surprises in space were usually bad.

    So when Mary woke him by announcing, "Incoming transmission detected," Grace's first coherent thought was,

    Well, that's not supposed to happen.

    -- OR --

    The Hail Mary picks up an impossible transmission in the middle of space, and Grace and Rocky do the only reasonable thing: reroute the entire mission to go help. Surely nothing will go wrong. Right?

    Summary

    “I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”

    Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”

    Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.

    “My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
    -
    Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship? And--right. The fact that he might be falling in love with his new roommate.
