    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    Here’s the thing.

    Grace is dying. Simon just wants to live.

    Hope is such a driving factor for each of them. But when Grace brings this convict aboard his ship, he was not expecting this man who was supposed to be a killer to be this soft. And…not this unhuman. Simon must come to terms with the idea that he might not be human any longer.

    Its the challenge of keeping one's humanity when you are the last fragment of it.

    And when you dont want to keep going.

    Summary

    “Will arrive at Erid in three months. Rocky get smartest Eridians to make food for human grace and help alien wake up.” Rocky says with a little more hope and incline in his voice, causing the edge of my lips to curl upwards slightly.

    Rocky always does his best to say what he thinks I need to hear, and, for the most part, he isn't too far from the mark.

    “Yeah…Everything will be okay” I respond, and hope that it's true.

    -

    Grace and Rocky have made it through a bulk of their trip to Erid. In their travels, the two discover a man in the middle of dead space- tethered to nothing, with no oxygen tank and yet alive all the same.

    Simon has been in a coma on the Hail Mary for three months now, and Grace is trying to stay sane.

    Summary

    "There's no need to negotiate for your safety, Doctor Grace," Stratt says carefully. "I can assure you, after saving the world, you will be looked after."

    "Um, no," he says, shaking his head. "I'm not negotiating for my safety." He steps aside. “I’m negotiating for theirs.”

    They step into the light of the open doorway; Simon, squinting hard against the vivid sun with his hand raised to shield his eyes and Rocky, who chirps a casual "Hello, humans!" with a wave.

    There’s a gasp; someone takes a step backward; one of the military personnel raises their rifle slightly before Stratt makes a sharp gesture for them to stand down.

    Grace doesn’t have eyes for them - he only looks at Stratt.

    And he decides, then and there, to replace the image of Stratt’s face sending him to his death, full of remorse and sadness, with the one in front of him: utter, complete disbelief.

    Grace thinks he'll treasure it forever.

    or: rocky and grace (+simon) go to earth instead of erid
