    Summary

    “I… I'm sorry, angel. It's just,” he looked back at the burger, “This was a part of you. You sacrificed a part of your body to feed us— feed me. How could I ever be deserving of something so selfless? So holy?”

    “Simon,” I place a hand under his chin to turn his head towards me, “It's ok, truly. There’s no trial you need to win. I want to do this for you. Please don’t neglect yourself for my sake, ok?”

    He shivered in awe, leaning into my touch, “yes angel, promise.”

    “Good, I'm glad,” I smiled. Then, I reach over to the plate. The burger was so soft and tender, I pinch off a small piece and hold it up to his lips, “Now, take a bite. And if you really don't like it, you don't have to eat it.”

    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    The Butcher does what he is supposed to do. He fulfills his role, and when he’s done Simon is allowed to make whatever meager meaning of his life he can.

    One day, when the Butcher is heading a raid, Simon discovers an angel.


    The hands that cradled your face and tilted it
    upwards to kiss your forehead
    are soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood

    but they cradled me, yes?
