    Summary

    Doctor Ryland Grace is not dead. Far from it, he lived. He recovered from his starvation and (some) of his traumas, and can now live a peaceful life in his very own biodome. That is until the day that the sky cracks, and the planet shudders. Something has entered the atmosphere, bringing with it visions of viscera and tragedy, and... humanity? He can't sit by and do nothing, but will he risk the safety of Erid and it's people for his own greed?

    Convict Simon, aka "The Butcher", wants to live. It's all he's ever wanted. When he's sealed away into the creaking darkness of his makeshift sub, he knows his chances are slim. That is, until he starts to hear a voice. It soothing, happy, free. It even calls itself a grace. Why does he feel like he knows that voice more and more with each passing sentence? Like he's... known it before?

    Aka, Simon learns to trust again and Grace heals, and they both find love.

    Summary

    Clearly, Grace’s refusal to engage with Simon’s outwardly destructive behavior had given Simon an excuse to turn that destructive behavior inwards.

    The beam of his flashlight swept across the sandy beach, illuminating the rolling waves. The distant hum of the wave machine combined with the sound of water crashing was just enough of a comfort to make Grace want to close his eyes and go back to sleep right there.

    But he couldn’t, not without Simon at his back.

    --

    For the first time in a while, Grace wakes up alone. Simon is nowhere to be found.

    Until Grace does find him...in the ocean, with no pulse.

    Summary

    Grace thinks he’s fine being alone and plans to spend the rest of his days as a teacher, relaxing on his biodome beach. He already has everything he could ever want; who needs human connection? So when the Eridians find a bloody submarine near their planet, he's surprised by how the terrified man who came along with it captures his attention.

    Now, Grace has a new goal: to get Simon to trust him enough to open up about his past, the injuries they found him with, and the reason he refuses to sleep.

    ----

    Blending of movie genres ~ Simon experiences PHM-level hope for the first time in his life, and Grace gets thrown headfirst into horrors beyond his comprehension.

    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace had been doing quite well, considering the circumstances, but he would really appreciate if his dreams did not start affecting his daily life. Something slithers its way into his dome and makes itself at home, and he cannot tell whether it is a friend or an enemy or if that makes a difference at all.
