    Summary

    It was almost surreal for Grace to imagine that there was another actual human being aboard his ship right know. Well, it was surreal because there was logically no way for a human to have travelled all the way from Earth to Erid in a gosh darned submarine, but let’s assume Grace was beginning to accept that fact (at least until he could ask the man a few questions), but back when he had remembered the details about the project Hail Mary, back when he had first remembered that he had been sent out in space to die on his own, with no hope of seeing Earth ever again, Grace had been forced to come to terms with the idea that he would never see another human being ever again. The last faces he’d see were those of his two deceased colleagues, and that wasn’t necessarily a good memory.

    To have another human here, with him, Grace couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

    Summary

    “Convict,” said the woman with the bone leg, her voice a dusky rattle. “You’ve been brought here to accompany a necromantic adept on a scientific expedition as his protector, in exchange for the pardon of your sentence.”
    “You’ll kind of be like my cavalier,” said the gorgeous man jovially.
    “He is not a cavalier,” corrected the woman. “Not even close.”

    aka: the locked tomb bloodymary au that (literally!) came to me in a dream. Simon is a former prisoner of the Ninth house prison tasked with protecting necromancer Ryland Grace and his best friend/fossil bone construct on a dangerous mission to a planet full of mysterious necromancy. fun stuff ensues.

    Summary

    It’s been a few years since the Hail Mary succeeded, and now Grace and Rocky are on a mission to help the other affected stars that are being eaten by Astrophage. They’ve been traveling around the galaxy, letting taumeoba loose on the infected areas, when they run into a strange solar system. It’s got a planet with a moon that has an ocean full of… blood? And what’s even more strange is what they find on the surface. Or a more fitting description: who they find.

    Summary

    You and Ryland Grace know each-other fairly well. I mean, being trapped on a spaceship indefinitely with no other company but (very casually) alien life will do that to you.

    So, when Ryland starts acting… off… it’s safe to say you and your scarily perceptive alien friend, Rocky, start to notice.

    Who knew alien life was so confrontational?

    AKA: touch-starved Ryland Grace cause IF YOU WON’T DO IT, I WILL

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    God, what a bitter sweet ending. I generally don’t like being reminded of mortality but the way you wrote this fic and ended it. Truly a masterpiece. I am crying. Thank you for putting this out into the world for people to see (including people at nasa! That’s huge!!)

    Even not having seen either content (besides Mark playing iron lung)(yet. Fully planning to) this was a truly enjoyable read and I love that Rocky and Adrien encouraged them to be together, bc in their eyes, life is short for the humans
