Summary
Ryland Grace and Rocky arrived at Erid almost 7 months ago, and Grace is far more lonely than he expected to be. Rocky is worried for him, but nothing can make up for the lack of human connection.
A group of Eridians patrolling space discover an odd looking ship, labeled SM-13, passing their planet, and discover a human inside. A man.
This man doesn’t know how he got here, only that the last he remembered, he was in a blood ocean facing certain death.
Grace must break a traumatized man out of his shell, while also working through his own repressed trauma.
Or: Two touch starved men must communicate their needs, work through their trauma, and build a domestic life on an alien planet.

Summary
"This quarantine shit is stupid, you know. You saw the health panel—I'm not gonna radiation blast you with my eyes or anything. I survived a freaking blood ocean! And came out fine! What's a few germs after that?"
Grace sighed. Simon may as well have been a mutant from Area 51; quarantine was more for Grace's health than his. "Fine is a weird way to describe getting turned into half goldfish."
"It was an eel, for your information. And compared to the other option, I think I got the good ending here."
Or: Simon and Grace have phone sex while they wait for Simon to stop being radioactive.

Summary
One second Ryland sat beside the fire, breathing crying beneath the stars. The next Simon shoved into him hard enough that both of them crashed backward into the sand. Ryland made a startled sound as the blanket twisted beneath them. Sand scattered. The firelight jumped gold across Ryland’s shocked face.
Simon didn’t know what he was doing.
He had never done this before.
Not really. Simon just suddenly could not survive the distance between them anymore.
So he closed it.
And kissed him.
Hard.If you are scrolling late at night with your morals in one hand and your phone in the other and you just want to get to the smut, start at Chapter 11.
Sneak Peek: “The metal thumb of the prosthetic pressed lightly against Ryland’s mouth. Ryland opened for him immediately.”

Summary
Simon has rarely experienced human contact that wasn't aggressive in some manner. Grace hasn't experienced human contact in a very long time, and the last time he did, it was also aggressive.
So what do they do when they give each other something gentle?
(AKA: mom says it's my turn to use the gay sex laser on my blorbos and i've been waiting for five years to get my hands on this gun
OR: I had a very specific idea of how Grace and Simon might be intimate, if they were to be, so I wrote it out and accidentally dropped this bomb)
Might randomly add new chapters whenever i feel like it idk
