Summary
“Let me be there,” he pleads. “For all of it. No more hiding. Let me take care of you.”
“It’s too much,” he says sadly. “I don’t even know what to do.”
“We’ll figure it out together.”
“It isn’t fair to you.”
“Was I fair to you when I was struggling?” He asks.
Grace doesn’t respond, knowing he has a point.
(In which Simon learns about Grace’s episodes, and figures out how to support him)

Summary
Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
"I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
"You can kill me now."
AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.Bookmarked by Thumtack_Things

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.

Ryland... So that was the name of the one sent to torment him.
(Or: The words you write on your skin shows up on your soulmate's body as well. Simon has been taught this is the worst kind of temptation possible.)

Summary
It’s easy to forgive someone else, someone you’ve just met, whose crimes you’ve never known. It’s much harder to forgive yourself.
What makes one human, and when did they give that up?
