    Summary

    “This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.

    “Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”

    Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”

    “I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”

    “Do you want to talk instead?”

    Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”
    -----
    Or Eridians find Simon's submarine while spreading Astrophage to the galaxy and bring him back to Erid. Grace has to change his normal routine to help this new human adjust to life. Slowly, they get to know one another, despite Simon potentially being a war criminal from a moon with an ocean full of blood. But there's just something else about Simon that Grace can't shake, and he's pretty sure Simon feels it too...

    Summary

    To be simple—the Collective were so very, very close to defeating death completely—but then the astrophage began to devour the sun, and the planet began to become deathly cold, and death started dancing so very, very close to the futures of the planet’s dwellers.

    But death found the crew—death warped the crew’s bodies—death forced the sole survivor to deposit the corpses into the relentless ocean of space, and to wait forever for the whispers to resume.

    —OR—

    Rocky does his best to keep Grace alive on the journey home to Erid. He comes very, very close to failing—but recognizes the only thing he can do to fix the weird space blob who's basically his only connection to reality at this point.

    Ryland Grace's body can be replaced.

    Ryland Grace's body doesn't need to survive—but his brain does.

    Following Grace's very very dubious consent to whatever Rocky's doing, Rocky does his very best to save the saviour of the stars—and it works. Cue the chaos and recovery.

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is a coward. He's aware. He only saved humanity because it was forced upon him. But now another ship has appeared, along with a cry for help.

    Simon is a convicted murderer. He knows he's not worth saving. But he can't help but ask.

    And he gets an answer.

    Summary

    As The Convict shifted in the medical bed, he noticed a warm, heavy weight just below his knee. It was pinning him to the mattress.

    He looked down.

    There was a man. Leaning on him.

    ---

    OR

    Simon wakes up on planet Erid and is immediately infatuated (albeit confused) by the generosity and unbridled hospitality and warmth from Grace (and of course, Rocky). As Simon heals from his wounds (physical and otherwise), the two realise they have a lot more in common than they originally thought.

    AND

    Adrian and Rocky ship them so hard.
