Summary
Grace thought he had adjusted well enough to life on Erid. He had his best friend, a biodome for himself, a job, and he was not dying, which was a pleasant bonus. Everything had worked out, and he was content living the rest of his life among the Eridians, until they detected a strange, impossible transmission from a starless patch of the universe, and Grace just had to look into it.
Simon wonders why he ever accepted to be part of the convict realization program in the first place, when he knew full well they would have just sent him to die.
He just wanted to live.Despite being universes apart, they were Seen.
------
OR: Grace and Rocky track a distress signal from a human not far from Erid and get wormhole'd straight into the Iron Lung universe. No one is happy about this, especially Grace who's very much not prepared to deal with -gestures broadly- THIS.Inspired by The Great Tribulation by aloremrem, if you haven't read it then I beg you to read that fic. It's a dream.

Summary
When an elite knight of Astora fell at the hands of the Asylum Demon, he resigned himself to his own death and waited for the Hollowing to claim him, forgotten in a land far from home.
Now free from their cell, the last Undead to whom he had granted freedom refused to let him fade away into the Abyss.
A retelling of Dark Souls following the path walked by Idris, an Astoran knight locked away in the Undead Asylum, before being given a second chance.

Summary
"So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.
"Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.
Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.
Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."
"Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.
"Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.
Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.
***
Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

Summary
"I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."
Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

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.- Language:

Summary
Simon was prepared to die alone in the depths of a blood ocean for the sake of the remnants of humanity. He wasn't prepared to live a changed man - monster - in an entirely changed universe, with little memory of how he'd gotten there or who he was or what he'd done.
Who the fuck was this Ryland person, and what did he want with him?

Summary
Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.
The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.
They found another human inside the vessel.

Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)
