    Summary

    "How's Earth?" Grace asked.

    Simon was quiet for a long time.

    "...There isn't one."

    After Dr. Ryland Grace vanished aboard the *Hail Mary*, an unidentified human vessel drifts into the Erid system.

    Inside is a single survivor.

    Simon should have died in a blood ocean beneath a dead moon. Instead, he wakes in an alien hospital with one arm, too many nightmares, and the last person he ever expected to meet waiting beside his bed—a man who has been dead for hundreds of years, according to history.

    Grace never thought he'd see another human.

    Simon never thought there were any left.

    Together, they'll have to navigate the uncomfortable reality that sometimes surviving is far harder than dying.

    There is no way back.

    Only forward.

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    ** If you didn't read the tags, there's weird monster/mutation tummy fucking going to happen. You've been warned. **

     

    When Grace found Simon, Grace always said that Simon had been found a mess.

    Grace leaving balled up papers on the ground, that’s a mess. Rocky leaving xenonite scraps everywhere, that’s a mess. None of them picking up after they eat, that’s a mess.

    Calling whatever Simon must have looked like when he was unconscious was an understatement. 

    Because Simon knew he must have looked like a fucking nightmare.

    Summary

    [This is set between my fic, "To Want to Live is to be Human" and "Gratitude in a Sea of Green". You don't need to read either to understand what's happening in this fic.]

    Simon didn’t think he’d be behind the control panel for any sort of ship ever again.

    Especially after the SM-13.

    Yet here he was, behind the controls of the Hail Mary, mentally cursing the blue puppy eyes that had silently pleaded with him.

    Goddammit…
