    Summary

    “What did you call it?” Simon asked, placing his hand on Grace’s hip. His fingers slipped under the man’s shirt, causing his angel to moan. Simon loved how vibrant blushes looked on Grace. His angel looked like a tomato. He couldn’t help but tease the man. “When we talked about EDEN and Earth? Something exchange?”
    Ryland whimpered as Simon began rubbing his side. Every touch was electric. God, he was sensitive. He swallowed, throat clicking loudly. “Cultural exchange,” Grace answered.
    “Yeah. Cultural exchange.” Simon chuckled, “Let’s do that. Let me show you how we make life.” He pulled Grace to him, chest to chest.

    You saw the first tag. Will make more sense if you read the first fic of the series, but not entirely necessary.

    Summary

    While studying the astrophage in the dingy, hollow hangar, Grace coughs. And a cough isn't supposed to trigger a full-scale quarantine, but Stratt disagrees.

    Grace is pretty sure everyone is overreacting. After all, it's a cough. A cold? The sniffles, at worst. It's nothing to freak out about and it surely doesn't warrant this type of shutdown, right?

    He is, unfortunately, wrong about that.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has tattoos. Four, to be exact, and Simon assumes they must mean something important—something intentional, cultural, and understood. On Eden, after all, their tattoos always are.

    But Grace’s ink doesn’t behave like symbolism. Instead, they are road maps through his life, a physical manifestation of a messy, painful, and confusing past. And, the more Simon learns about them, the more he realizes they were never meant to be seen as art at all.

    Simon keeps looking anyway.

    Summary

    “Let me be there,” he pleads. “For all of it. No more hiding. Let me take care of you.”

    “It’s too much,” he says sadly. “I don’t even know what to do.”

    “We’ll figure it out together.”

    “It isn’t fair to you.”

    “Was I fair to you when I was struggling?” He asks.

    Grace doesn’t respond, knowing he has a point.

    or

    Ryland doesn't want to admit he is sick.
