    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    Ryland’s starting to think the human from the submarine isn’t really a human at all, not anymore. It doesn't matter, he wants Simon all the same.

    Or,

    Simon knows that Ryland Grace is an angel, he just can’t figure out how he got to heaven. He’s not complaining, though it took becoming a devil himself to finally behold the divine.

    Summary

    __________

    Simon's fought so fiercely to live, to carve out space for himself with bared teeth and bloodied fists, but the force and drive that kept him surviving just isn't anywhere near enough in the face of this complete hopelessness. And so he slumps to his knees to see if he'll get lucky enough to slip gently into oblivion.

    And isn't that some sick fucking joke.

    ___________________________________

    Simon can't help but be pissed with himself. This is what he wanted, after all, this is what he sacrificed himself to do and he just can't be fucking happy about it. Most of all he just really doesn't want this man to kill him.

    "I really- I-i'm sorry. I won't fight anymore. I can take it. I just- I-i really don't wanna die."

    It's utterly irrational, but some part of him he hasn't killed yet was actually ecstatic at being desired. He can't help but feel crushed at the fact even this man is recoiling away from him like he's fucking disgusting and repulsive.

    Maybe because he is.

    Self indulgent platonic bloodymary fic in which Grace finds a teenager who's been cast into space to die. Someone get that man a child.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is living peacefully on Erid. Peacefully until something (or someone) so monumentally bloody stains the water in his enclosure.

    Simon is trying to get by on what he thinks is heaven, until he starts to mutate into something unholy.

    You know the drill it’s platonic bloodymary time
