    Summary

    The two sides of wanting to trust.
    Looking at a stranger and seeing a friend.
    Looking at yourself and finding you're lacking.
    Extending a hand anyways.

    Or:
    Come read how I picked at these two dumbasses brains in the middle of the night when they were sleeping (I found out they were YEARNING for connection).

    Summary

    Grace never sees or hears his nightmares coming; he feels it in his body first. He finds himself unable to move freely, struggling and failing to move against the invisible, omnipresent pressure holding him down. His increasingly panicked mind fills in the details for him: the smell and feeling of wet grass and dirt against his face, the hands pinning his arms and legs down, the knee pressing against his back. A rainbow in the sky above a barbed wire fence. Adrenaline forcing his breathing to hasten and heart to pound in his ears.

    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

    When Ryland Grace agreed to take the middle school science position at St. Thomas Catholic School in San Francisco, not once did he assume his life would become like this. When the resident priest of the school dies unexpectedly and tragically, the clergy is desperate to find a replacement for him.

    Father Simon feels like he's not cut out for this. Seminary school was a last resort for him, which isn't something a lot of young priests like to admit, but it's the unfortunate reality for a lot of them. When God or fate or some other third party brings him to fill the massive, terrifying shoes of the previous priest of St. Thomas Catholic School, he begins considering other career choices all together. Especially when that role means he has to be around Dr. Grace all the time, who keeps interfering with his work.
