    Summary

    He had a ledger that reminded him of all the ways Zagreus had died before, and he had a prodigiously good imagination. That was all he really needed. It gave him answer enough.

    He felt the way Zagreus’s mind shifted and swayed towards unconsciousness as his fight went on and he must have sustained more injuries, seeking desperate shelter from pain. The mind always shied from its own suffering — when agony was too sharp, too much, it reached desperately for that solace that Hypnos held at his command. It yearned for unconsciousness. So whenever something hurt Zagreus enough for his mind to start reaching for the oblivion of Sleep, desperate to faint rather than endure some acute torment, Hypnos felt it.

    And then he always felt Zagreus struggling to master his own mind. Trying — just through sheer force of will — to pull away. To stay conscious. To stagger on.

    And Hypnos had to decide what to do.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    Zagreus gave a low questioning hum and he turned his head lightly to look at Hypnos.

    Their eyes met. Hypnos breathed out.

     

    "Marry me."

     

    …what.

     

    "What?"

    After Persephone chases Zagreus out and tells him not to return he loses all hope for his future.

    Tired and angry he seeks comfort from his old friend. And then Hypnos suggests something crazy.

    And it might just work.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been living in the human-friendly bio-dome on Erid for a human month. But with Rocky being busy with other work most of the time, the Eridian scientists start to wonder if maybe they should let him socialize more. Adrian knows a bit about Ryland, and Ryland knows a bit about Adrian, so the decision is made to let Rocky introduce the two and see if Adrian could be the one to keep the human stable until the dome is stable enough to let him freely socialize.

    Short happenings of Grace’s life in the dome, with time skips interspersed

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is, against all odds, alive. He's living a lavish life on Erid with all the me-burgers he can eat and more probing (not like that!) scientists than he could have ever imagined. He's a teacher again, he's got beachfront property, and he's known as Savior Grace to a planet of aliens. Life is good.

    Rocky is, against all odds, alive. After over half an century (always Earth units!) away from home, he's more than ecstatic to be back. His star is brightening, his mate waited for him, and all of Erid loves him. Any request he has is almost instantly fulfilled. Life is good.

    So why are neither of them happy?

    Summary

    Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.

    It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.

    When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.

    And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

    Summary

    “There’s, um, two clinical manifestations of beriberi. Wet and dry,” he explained. “Dry damages the nervous system. Numbness in the hands and feet, difficulty walking, confusion, all that good stuff.”

    Rocky would never understand how Grace could talk about his body deteriorating so casually. His wry smile every time the taumoeba came right back out of his mouth, the blood left on his toothbrush after he brushed. “I’m leaking again,” he’d laugh. Humans could laugh without sounding happy, Rocky had learned.

    Grace gets beriberi on his way to Erid. Rocky copes.

    “Grace!” Rocky says. “Look!”

    I look. Then I gasp.

    “Is Adrian!” Rocky says.

    Summary

    Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”

    Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”

    The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.

    Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”

    ———

    Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.

    Summary

    So I can't die.

    I was in undergrad when I finally couldn't deny it any more. I'd been hit by a car and walked it off with barely a scratch. Though, really, "can't die" was a wild oversimplification of something I still didn't fully understand.

     

    Aka Grace remembers that he's literally indestructible at the worst possible moment. This complicates things.

    Summary

    “So... Grace moan lots in mating, question?”

    I was going to hear that inquisitive repetition of thump-thump in Hell- which is definitely where I would be going, with this whole 'crush-on-a-sentient-rock-based-alien' thing I have going on right now… Actually, well, maybe not? Maybe that was just like, a weird-thing, and not a go-to-hell thing.

    ...Was alien-fucking in the Ten Commandments? Wait, did I know the Ten Commandments?

     

    TL;DR: Rocky, in increasingly futile attempts to flirt with Grace, is desperate to know if Grace is a moaner. Does Grace moan, question?!

    Summary

    “Why Grace think about Earth question?” Rocky blew steam from his vents and grumbled, “Earth throw Grace away like trash statement. Rocky care for Grace now.”

    Ryland Grace has never been great at relationships, or social cues, which leads him to accidentally give Rocky an Eridian courting gift. More issues arise once the two finally reach Erid and Grace meets Adrian. Some angst because its a requirement in this fandom, all science and culture for Eridians is made up please don't read too deeply into any science or space stuff I am doing my best.

    Summary

    Simon was prepared to die alone in the depths of a blood ocean for the sake of the remnants of humanity. He wasn't prepared to live a changed man - monster - in an entirely changed universe, with little memory of how he'd gotten there or who he was or what he'd done.

    Who the fuck was this Ryland person, and what did he want with him?

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid. While Grace is more than happy to be one-step further from death, he has yet to confront his very human brain about it. Memories of his time on earth, near-death experiences in space, and being suddenly surrounded by giant alien spiders is a recipe for disaster. Luckily, Rocky is there to help him every step of the way.

    or

    The Eridians have a lot to learn about their new alien roomate.
