    <THE KIND YOU DONT GET A FUCKING SAY IN>

    Ryland Grace has already saved humanity once.
    Simon has spent most of his life trying to survive what was left of it.

    Separated by improbable distance, impossible timelines, and a computer terminal that should never have been able to connect them, two men who know far too much about sacrifice find themselves sharing research, terrible jokes, increasingly personal conversations, and a problem neither universe should still be alive to have.

    Because somewhere between a dying reality, a blood ocean, and a mission three hundred years in the making, something is trying very hard to close the distance between worlds.

    Unfortunately for the universe, both Ryland Grace and Simon have always had a problem with sacrifices...

    Summary

    Simon believes he's hallucinating. That the man he keeps seeing and the pristine ship he repeatedly finds himself in aren't real. That that monster is fucking with his head.

    Grace believes he's got a lot more on his plate than just the fate of the earth, and he's not sure which task is more impossible: stopping the astrophage without any memories, or helping one man in another universe.

    OR

    By getting yanked between universes, Grace gets to experience the horrors, Simon gets to save the stars, and Rocky gets two (2!) humans for the price of one.

    --------------------

    "-so I think, and here's the part I'm really afraid of, I think ninety nine point nine percent of humanity got turned into blood soup," Grace says.

    "And Simon currently trapped in human blood soup, question?" Rocky asks.

    He lets his head fall back and closes his eyes. "Hes in the soup. Hes so in the soup Rocky."

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky have fallen into a routine during their trip to Erid, which means of course something must go wrong. This particular something is the SM-13, a ship not meant for space holding a human heartbeat within. Once they get its passenger stable, they find out he doesn't speak either of their languages, and he's one wrong move from stabbing Grace at any given time.

    Simon also thinks he's probably dead, so there's that. No one is having a great time.
