    Summary

    Simon has spent the better part of three years avoiding the Grace triplets, and for good reason. They leave destruction in their wake, thrive on chaos and somehow convince half of Fallbrook University to love them for it.
    So when one very drunk Ryland Grace barrels into him at a party, Simon expects nothing more than another reason to dislike the infamous brothers.
    Instead, Ryland does something Simon never expected.
    He apologises.

    Summary

    “I see you.”

    Something crosses between universes that should never touch. A vessel built for a blood ocean, broken open in deep space. Inside it, barely alive, a man no one was looking for and a tree that should not exist.

    Grace and Rocky did not ask for this. But Grace has not seen another human being in years, and the ruined stranger on his medbay table is, impossibly, alive.

    Simon has only ever known one law: everything costs something. Kindness is a debt. Care is a trap. He has no idea what to do with a man who keeps giving him things and asking for nothing back, and no framework at all for the one that terrifies him most: being seen, and not made to pay for it.

    Slow-burn. Two profoundly isolated people, one alien best friend, and the long work of learning to be safe.

    “Agreed.”

    Summary

    Simon believes he's hallucinating. That the man he keeps seeing and the pristine ship he repeatedly finds himself in aren't real. That that monster is fucking with his head.

    Grace believes he's got a lot more on his plate than just the fate of the earth, and he's not sure which task is more impossible: stopping the astrophage without any memories, or saving one man in another universe.

    OR

    By getting yanked between universes, Grace gets to experience the horrors, Simon gets to save the stars, and Rocky gets two (2!) humans for the price of one.

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

    "-so I think, and here's the part I'm really afraid of, I think ninety nine point nine percent of humanity got turned into blood soup," Grace says.

    "And Simon currently trapped in human blood soup, question?" Rocky asks.

    He lets his head fall back and closes his eyes. "Hes in the soup. Hes so in the soup Rocky."

    Summary

    Gracie was perfectly fine and happy with his life in Erid. He really was.
    Simon just wanted to live. What would he be willing to do to get it? Simon meets a strange, unusually clean man who tells him he's safe with him. It has to be some kind of trick, a twisted game he doesn't yet understand. But he's willing to play to get what he wants.
    Grace could communicate better; it would save them a lot of trouble.

    Summary

    “I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”

    Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”

    Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.

    “My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
    -
    Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship, and somehow surviving the struggles of deep space—all while maybe falling in love with the strange man with blue eyes.

    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

    Aloy's carried hurt like a dull bruise all her life, but only half of it is her own.

    Kotallo holds a determination that he knows is not his own, but he is selfish enough to borrow it at times.

    Both of them have a sense of hurt inside, a loneliness that only the other understands.

    Maybe that was fate's first kindness, to bring together two people who understood what it meant to feel alone.

    -

    Or - a Soulmate AU where Aloy and Kotallo can feel some of the emotions of one another, and all of the pain that comes from that.

    Summary

    While Commander Rynn Shepard deals with the most critical of missions, it falls to the good people over at N7 Spec Ops to hold the line in various smaller, but still important battlefields all over the galaxy. This is the story of one of their squads. Follow the adventures of Evelyn Rodgers, spunky Alliance combat engineer, and her teammates.

    This is a novelization of M3 multi-player. I love Garrus, but I had inspiration for a different kind of turian romance, and I didn't want to distort everyone's favorite vigilante, so I just had to make up my own lovable spiky alien and his Alliance woman.

    This story is a spin-off of Turians do not lie, and will feature a cameo by everyone's favorite crew.

    Summary

    “The first words they say to you are tattooed somewhere on your body.” Shepard explained.

    Garrus blinked, his subvocals pitching in disbelief. “That’s… so inefficient.”

    “Alright, how do Turians find their soulmates?” She demanded.

    “On the civilized side of the galaxy-“ she gave a rather undignified snort, “we find our bondmates through song.”

    -

    The Council has called for a peace summit following the disastrous First Contact War but neither side seems ready to make amends. It's up to Shepard and Garrus to bridge the gap if their fated romance has any hope of blossoming.

    Summary

    Rey is taken from Jakku and brought to a world where she doesn’t belong.

    Ben does.

    Or at least, he’s supposed to.

    But something inside him is wrong — restless, burning, slipping into nightmares he can’t escape. Everyone can see it. Everyone is afraid of him.

    Except Rey.

    She looks at him like he has all the secrets to the galaxy hidden behind his eyes.


     

    or: Two children. Two futures already pulling them apart. A story about growing up, and everything that comes after.

    ~

    It flowed in the air around her, loomed in dark smokey tendrils, circling, threatening. Like the kind that clung to him in his dreams.  

     

    And for a moment, the voice was gone.

     

    All he could hear was her.

    Summary

    The prompt: “Rey, ever the desert child, is rescued from drowning by a handsome and mysterious merman.”

    After tragedy befalls Luke’s academy, Ben Solo is presumed dead and never becomes Kylo Ren, enforcer of the First Order. Instead, he becomes something else entirely.

    Until he rescues a Jedi girl who threatens to reconcile his past and present. A girl who will determine his future.
    _____________________

    He pivoted his bulk on strong arms and dropped into the sea. Steam rose around his chest. His eyes closed, and he released a shuddering sigh. He must have been uncomfortably hot even in the cool air—drying out from the inside—all for her.

    “I want to see you again.” She rotated to her knees and leaned over the boulder. “I need to see you.”

    He bobbed with the tide below and held her gaze, expression unreadable.

    “Kylo,” he said at last. “Call me Kylo.”
