    Summary

    “I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”

    Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”

    Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.

    “My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
    -
    Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship? And--right. The fact that he might be falling in love with his new roommate.

    Summary

    ”Get to work Dr. Grace. The world is counting on you.”

    Stratt turned around and with a wave of her hand another man had walked over, “You’ll be remaining here with Dr. Grace. I trust you can keep him out of trouble.”

    “Shouldn’t be a problem.” The other man’s voice was smooth, and if Grace was hearing correctly it almost sounded like there was an undercurrent of mirth.

    That’s when it clicked, was Stratt siccing a babysitter on him? “Hold on! What trouble are you thinking I'm going to get into?” Should he be offended? He was a grown man, he’d worked in countless labs before and sure he’d had some questionable outcomes but they’d just let him be the first scientist to study an alien life form! They should have more trust in him than this!

    ”Everyone in the world wants to get their hands on astrophage. Simon is here to protect you from them.” Stratt explained, turning again to give Grace an exasperated expression. “I should hope you don’t need constant supervision from yourself Dr. Grace.”

    (Im not good at summaries, bodyguard!Simon and scientist!Grace, hope you enjoy!)

    Or

    Simon makes Grace recite science facts while he gets him off and then they fuck about it.

    Summary

    After the catastrophic attack on the Resistance Head Quarters, the Sarentu has done everything in their power to remain afloat. Clinging onto the belief that they, and they alone could repair the damage the humans had caused.

    But what is one to do when clutching the fragments of shattered glass together, trying to stop the crumbling sheet begins cutting away at their own flesh and bone? Jagged edges tearing into skin until blood seeps and pools underfoot, still desperate to hold onto the sharded pieces remaining stubbornly resolute. Even if it may cost their own life.

    One suffers and falls. Only clutching tighter, harsher despite the anguish refusing to let go of a fist full of broken glass. That is unless someone is there to pry their hands free.

    Summary

    "I'm- I’m a coward, Rasi.” He admits, voice solemn, like there was no room for any doubt about his character. “I am terrified of losing them.. As if keeping them at bay would make things easier even if– if something did happen–” 

     

    But something had happened.. Though he loathed to remember what Wukula had said, he knew it was the truth…

     

    His gaze got heavier as it rested on Tamí'tey's stirring chest - he half-expected for it to stop rising at any moment.

     

    “My fear held me back, and in turn it got them hurt. In. More ways than I even care to imagine.” So'lek sucked air through his teeth, his head bowing towards Tamì'tey's knuckles as he raised their hand to his forehead. 

     

    “I-I couldn't protect them from the RDA- from Wukula, from being locked up again- what good am I, Rasi? What good would I be as a mate? I failed them.”

     

    Rasi didn't interrupt the silence as she observed the steady warrior so bowed, hiding his tears from her out of shame, and it was much like a knife to Rasi's heart to see him like this.
