Summary
Eddie was awake. He was pretty sure that was a mistake. Blinding light greets him as soon as he forces his eyes open. Too bright. Too soon. He swallows a groan as the room slowly comes into focus. Sterilized walls, clean white sheets, machines beeping rhythmically, tubes entering his arm in various locations.
A hospital.
He is very aware of three things. One, he is alone. Two, he has no idea how he got here, and three, the sinking feeling that something was very wrong tugs at his thoughts.or, Eddie wakes up in a hospital having no clue how he got there.

Summary
There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.
When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.
One is a middle-school science teacher.
One is a convicted eco terrorist.

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
Simon wakes up thinking the universe is a cage, survives an eel attack, and then spends the rest of his recovery absolutely refusing to be anyone’s problem.
That is, until he sees Ryland Grace dancing in a classroom like joy is something that still belongs to him. It makes no sense to Simon. It shouldn’t be possible. But somehow the sight of a ridiculous scientist swaying badly to music he can’t hear becomes the first thing in a long time that feels like life instead of survival, and Simon spends the rest of his time pretending he’s not looking for it again.
