    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

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    Summary

    It was almost surreal for Grace to imagine that there was another actual human being aboard his ship right know. Well, it was surreal because there was logically no way for a human to have travelled all the way from Earth to Erid in a gosh darned submarine, but let’s assume Grace was beginning to accept that fact (at least until he could ask the man a few questions), but back when he had remembered the details about the project Hail Mary, back when he had first remembered that he had been sent out in space to die on his own, with no hope of seeing Earth ever again, Grace had been forced to come to terms with the idea that he would never see another human being ever again. The last faces he’d see were those of his two deceased colleagues, and that wasn’t necessarily a good memory.

    To have another human here, with him, Grace couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    It didn’t make sense.

    It didn’t make any flipping sense.

    Up is down, left is right, xenon’s a solid, and apparently THERE’S ANOTHER FREAKING SPACESHIP IN TAU-CETI.

    Summary

    When a blood soaked stranger makes his way into Erid's orbit, the most important thing, Grace tells himself, is that this person is safe. After many long nights spent next to a hospital bed, his priorities shift. What was once friendly care slowly turns into a change in lifestyle.

    If taking care of this man means lending Grace's house to him, then so be it. And if lending Grace's house to him means sharing the same utilities, bathroom, and bedroom, then that's fine. Grace is more than eager to help.

    Summary

    Grace and Simon go on a day trip to the beach

     

    One shot that just takes place in an alternate timeline where there was no Taumoeba leak and Rocky got back to Erid completely fine and happily reunited with Adrian as a hero to his world and told the Eridians about Grace and Earth, for why Simon was even with Grace is in the full length fic before this and just diverges after the Hail Mary and Rocky go their separate ways. This can be read independently I just wanted to give Simon some stories of getting to experience Earth because I don't think people give him that too often.

    Summary

    Grace found Simon in the Tau Ceti system and returned with him to Earth and showed him the world that he thought he could only hope to dream of

    Can be read separately but based on my fic Too Good To Be Untrue in this same series just instead Grace and Simon actually go back to Earth in the end (AU where there is no leak, Rocky made it back to Erid safe and sound and happily reunited with Adrian and hailed as a hero to his world)

    Summary

    "...emitting a radio frequency, I tuned into it expecting little more than feedback, maybe due to a magnetic inbalance-”

    “And??”

    Wordlessly, they flick a switch, and the noise is played loud enough for the entire room to hear it. 

    “Please,” a voice sobs, “Please, it hurts- I'm scared, I just- please, I just want to live. Why doesn't anyone else want that? Why can't I- I want to-” it breaks off into more sobbing and the room practically vibrates with tension. 

    “That-! That is the language spoken by Engineer Rocky's Grace! That is HUMAN language!”

    “Yes.”

    “There is a human down there?? That shouldn't be-”

    “But there is. What now?”

    Summary

    There weren't many things that Grace would trade his peaceful life on Erid for.

    Honestly, most aspects of his new life were far better than his old one.

    But sometimes he wished for human company, someone to understand slightly better how he felt.

    So when Adrian's team had discovered a human trapped in a submersible while surveying other planets that might need treatment with the Taumeba, he'd said yes without hesitation to looking after the man.

    Summary

    Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.

    After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
    Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.

    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

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    “Are you family?”

    “I’m–” he isn’t. Derek is just someone he once met. Just someone Avery barely knows. Derek is just someone who saved his life and someone who decided Avery was worth more than his own life. But Avery can’t come up with something good to lie to the paramedic’s piercing gaze. “I’m–”

    “His boyfriend?” The paramedic asks, a glint in his eye telling Avery that he understands the situation and that he’ll cover for the lie. Avery nods, swallowing hard, and enters the ambulance.

    +

    After the events of DAWTDE, Avery finally finds Derek alive. The King is gone, and for the first time, Avery thinks he and Derek may rest. But between fragile smiles and blushes, it becomes clear one does not need to exist in order to haunt the narrative.

    What happens when you're the horror?

    It took eight failed placements for Techno to be assigned a social worker with the bright and beautiful idea that, as a changeling, he probably should be placed within a family of magicks. Techno isn't fond of the idea. But it's not like he has anywhere else he belongs. Even if he's quite sure Phil and the rest of them all hate him.

    OR: 5 times Techno was certain he'd never fit in his new family and the 1 time he finally saw the truth
