    Summary

    Simon has spent the last two years working for the COI to obtain a clean record after his participation in the destruction of Filament Station. When he's left on a drifter colony with a scrubbed identity and a tablet, Simon looks into ways to disappear from both the COI's gaze as well as Eden's, which leads him down what is perhaps the strangest avenue he's ever undertaken: a marriage visa.

    Dr. Ryland Grace may or may not know that his friend Rocky has put a marriage profile up whatsoever. Simon is lonely and Rocky is persistent. This may or may not be the worst idea in the history of the universe.

    (or Rocky uses a mail-order-bride broker to find Grace the Best Mate Ever and gets Simon)

    Summary

    Out on parole and down an arm, Simon's chances of landing a legal, steady paycheck grow slimmer by the day. When his parole officer plants the idea of becoming a blood and plasma donor in his head, it leads him into the dark corridors of the City Under the City - and directly to Dr. Ryland Grace, a vampire who lives under a museum.

    Simon's Contract is simple: provide a meal on a schedule, get paid. Purely business... well, until it isn't anymore, at least.

    ...whoops.

    Summary

    “Need word.”
    “What, suicide?” I sighed. “You know, killing yourself.”
    “Not have this on Erid.”
    I blinked. “You don’t have… killing yourself?”
    “No!” He pressed two of his hands up against the xenonite of his ball. “Never happen! Grace explain: humans not meant to go back to Earth, die in space, Rocky understand. Grace say Grace want to kill self, Rocky not understand.”

     

    An old lesson from their journey home becomes relevant again when Rocky comes to Grace with a confession.
