    Summary

    He'd asked them, angry and terrified and desperate to be let out of that fucking submarine, how many more times they were going to use him, as though he didn't already know the answer.

    Until you break. Until you're more useful dead than you are alive.

    Perhaps Simon's true punishment had been endurance.

    OR: As things start to settle between him and Ryland, Simon is faced with the reality of everything that has happened to him, scars and nightmares and everything in-between. The luxury of choice is new and terrifying, and Simon finds himself teetering on the edge of another abyss every time he looks himself in the eye, Ryland's footsteps embedded into the ash beside him. Healing is slow, and patience has never been one of Simon's virtues.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, please don’t stop, I’ll be better, I promise,” Simon gasps as he shakes his head, gripping Grace’s shirt as his words rattle around his head so harshly they come tumbling out before he can think to stop them. “I’ll be good, I swear.”

    “Hey, hey, shh,” a gentle voice washes over his concern, eroding it away bit by bit as hands cup his face. “I gotcha, I’m right here, Flower, I promise.”

    As gentle lips return to his quivering ones, Simon’s eyes focus back in on the man over him, guiding him back to the present.

    ——

    Or

    Grace guides Simon through riding him for the first time while talking him through it. Slow and gentle as opposed to the quick and rough treatment he had grown used to.

    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

    When Ryland Grace finally adjusts into his new life on Erid, a very scared, very upset man is just the thing he needs to disrupt it.

    or

    When Simon is pulled out of the remains of the Iron Lung-- still very much alive and very much disoriented, he must grapple with the fact that everything he once knew to be true is a lie, and that the visions from a deity he doesn't know the name of become rampant. His eternal punishment rests in the form of a very clumsy, very obnoxious blonde man who can't seem to understand he's living in a fishbowl.

    or

    A BloodyMary fanfiction where I attempt to unveil the complicated lore of both Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung. This is the very first fanfiction I've ever posted on A03 and it's the first bit of writing I've made public in over 8 years, so apologies if it takes me a moment to regain my footing!
