    Summary

    Iron Lung meets Project Hail Mary. After spotting the floating remnants of the Iron lung from the Hail Mary on Grace and Rocky's journey back to Erid, Grace insists on bringing it with them.

    Grace gets on his space suit and goes and tethers it to the hail Mary. Rocky uses his ship to manufacture a link with the iron lung and they manage to pry open the window shield to reveal someone inside.

    They manage to cut open the iron lung and get its sole passenger to med bay and have Armando stabilize him until they get to Erid.
    Simon barely comes to, but just manages to make out Graces sillouette in front of a bright light, before falling unconscious and kept in a stable coma for the rest of the trip.

    How did the Iron Lung end up in space? How will these two Patron Saints of One Way Trips learn to cohabitate on a completely foreign world? Will Simon be able to adapt to living a more stable, civilian lifestyle? Will Simons shadows stay behind him and not destroy the life he will build for himself?

    Will both of these lonely humans be able to find solace and acceptance being the only human souls on the edge of a foreign galaxy? Only time will tell.

    Summary

    It's been seven months since Grace met up with Rocky and they started their journey back to Erid.
    It's been three months since an unexpected and unexplainable passenger joined the Hail Mary.
    Three months of Grace hoping the only other human he's likely to ever encounter will survive despite having horrific injuries that he reasonably shouldn't be able to. But he'd made it so far, it'd be a shame to give up now, right?
    And just as the man finally wakes up, Grace is left wondering if maybe letting him inside the Hail Mary was a huge mistake.

    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

    All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

    OR

    The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

    Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

    “That’s very strange," He remarked.

    “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

    “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”

    Summary

    Simon doesn't know what happened, or how it happened. The last thing he remembers is the walls of the sub exploding inwards as the last remaining space filled with air around him was flooded with thick blood. He thrust the black box with the life jacket out with his hand, hoping, praying, that it would reach the surface and the COI would find it.

    Everything went black.

    And then he opened his eyes. The sub was intact, still partially flooded with blood, but it was floating all around him instead of settling at the bottom. Simon was in zero gravity.

     

    or: Simon is saved by what he can only assume is an angel taking him to the other side

    Summary

    Ryland Grace had finally been free from the pressures of living on Earth. No one to look at him, no one to judge him and best of all, no one to know his medical history.

    To the Eridian's, Grace was the perfect example of a human man.

    Then Simon arrived.

    Summary

    'Grace—' Rocky warned, clutching his shirt.
    Grace gently removes the claw.
    “I promise you I'll be careful, I swear Rock, but I need to see him.”
    Rocky steps back, his suit is covered in blood. Grace's hands are shaking.
    He is about to meet another human for the first time in years.

    Or: grace had turned the page with humans until one of them popped in space.

    Summary

    “Simon, as far as I’m concerned, you can stay for as long as you want. No question about it. Just get some rest, okay?”

    Well. That settled it. This man was either fucking stupid, or he was the most kind hearted person that Simon had ever met. Deep down, he had a feeling he already knew which one.

    He looked up at Ryland with heavy, drooping eyelids to see hair sticking out in every direction, glasses askew, and a big cozy sweater swallowing his frame. Cute.

    If Simon didn’t watch himself, he was going to be in big fucking trouble. As his eyes fluttered closed, he also got the sense that it was already too late.

    Summary

    It is red. A bright, remarkable red. Ryland unbuckles himself, stepping around Rocky to press his hand to the window, and rubs at his eyes when his vision blurs. “Rocky.”

    “Grace-friend sit down. Head leaking.”

    “It’s got an ocean.”

    -

    An AU where Simon survives to be found by Grace, and accidentally brings something else with him.

    Summary

    "You…" The stranger was looking at him with watchful, bloodshot eyes. What was a face lax with sedation was now a strained, piercing gaze. "No. Who are you?" He sounded cautious, maybe even a little angry.

    "I'm just… Grace, Ryland Grace. Scientist. Teacher." Grace twirled a hand in consideration. "Uh, astronaut, I guess."

    "Bullshit."

    Grace tensed and huffed nervously. He was taken aback. "Uh, what do you mean? The astronaut part? Yeah, I still don't believe it myself–"

    "No, ass-hat," he spat back, "you're with the C.O.I., aren't you? You're–" He flinched, looking down at the restraints that held him in place.

    Summary

    “Rocky, please stop moving,” Grace begged quietly, his hand out towards the alien in an attempt to get him to hold still. He did. It was completely silent other than the hum of the ship.

    And then a robotic voice cut the silence.

    Foreign Body Detected.

     

    When Grace hears a crash, though skeptical at first, he absolutely has to go see what it is. He refuses to be a coward.

    or, The universe had decided to take pity on the two patron saints of being expendable.

    Summary

    “Well, I think it started with a B. Mr. B… Buh… uh…” Grace swung the door open.

    Before he could stop himself, he crashed into a person who was going out at the same time...
    He then realized, in the collision, he had spilled his coffee all over this stranger. Oh no.

    “Gah-what the fuck, man?!” the stranger exclaimed in a deep, gravelly tone.

    “Oh my gosh oh my gosh I’m so sorry-” Grace stepped back, barely keeping his balance, then started digging in his bag. “I-I think i have napkins o-or something.” As he pulled the napkins out and pressed them to the stranger’s chest, he noticed the guy’s lanyard.

    Simon Butcher, Language Arts

    Oh yeah, that was the name.

    OR

    Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher, with very little life outside of being such. Which doesn't really bother him. That is, until he meets the new English teacher, Simon Butcher. The two are so very different, like a hot black coffee and a caramel frappacino. But, is that really such a bad thing? As the too get closer, maybe their differences aren't as pronounced as they'd thought...
    What's that phrase, 'opposites attract?'

    Summary

    Ryland Grace did not expect to see another person outside of his dreams ever again. He was certainly not prepared for the mutated “human” that the eridians brought to his lab. Furthermore, he was even less prepared for the baggage and weirdly confusing feelings that came along with him.

    Simon did not expect to be shown kindness from another person ever again. Especially not one that looks like he speaks for The Light itself.

    Or, Erid’s wet dog adjacent savior meets a God’s deeply troubled pet.

    Summary

    It's their third trip out since they found the taumoeba.

    The Hail Mary has been upgraded, and now runs with a crew of nine Eridians. Plus the human mascot, Grace.

    It might be his last trip out, but Grace is making the best of it. He's just in the way at that point. His eyesight is no longer needed for the ship to run smoothly, and he could be teaching instead. He's enjoyed the trip. He really has.

    But the last of the new beetles are off, headed to distant star systems. Grace was settled in at the viewport when they found an anomaly.

    That's an odd astrophage signature.

    Summary

    To make a long and deeply embarrassing story short, the Eridians have submitted a formal request to witness and perhaps ameliorate the negative effects of his long-suppressed heat.

    Translation: they want to watch him get off.

    And maybe also see if they can help. Personally.

    Summary

    “You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.

    “Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”

    A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.

    But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

    In the hopes of keeping Grace from dying of malnutrition, Rocky and Grace take the calculated risk of extending their trip in order to search for life in other solar systems, possibly life that could keep Grace from dying. And hey, if they save more stars while they're at, all the better? Everything seems to be going to plan until they arrive in a solar system with some strange, familiar looking debris floating around a moon.

    Summary

    Simon is more convinced that this is hell. He will be forced to relive his last moments alive for eternity, his blood wasted to slick the throat of the eel. He will be chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed, chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed for infinity. He tries to exercise some will in this cycle by falling back into unconsciousness. After all, he figures, if this truly is his punishment, some devil will ensure he’s awake to feel his death.

    It is not a devil who wakes him. His eyes open to see a light lift him from the blood, pull him from the grasping hands of the damned.

    “Angel?”

    The angel does not respond.

    ------------------------

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace encounter some weird blips. They've been watching Scooby-Doo and are getting a bit bored so might as well do some sleuthing of their own, right? Who knows, could be someone else trying to fix the Astrophage problem. And it's on the way! How convenient! They aren't prepared to find another human, who is living a blood soaked submarine. In space.

    When Ryland Grace and Rocky encounter an unknown anomaly somewhere in deep space, they meet Simon, a man in desperate need of rest and healing.

    Luckily, Grace knew just the man for the job. He was missing human company, anyways.

    (And, perhaps, its not just Simon with those needs)
