    Summary

    For a few seconds, he felt nothing but an unbearable pressure that seemed to be tearing him in two.

    Simon screamed. And screamed.
    And kept screaming until the air ran out of his lungs.

    The only thing he knew for certain, beyond his pain, was that whatever came out of him, whatever was devouring him, would no longer be his problem.

    He will be reunited with the person he loves most and who loved him. His mother will hold him, and he will no longer be afraid.

    There is music all around him; he hears notes he has never heard before and it is beautiful, so beautiful that he weeps; he has tears in his eyes. The song of Heaven sounds like redemption. If he deserves it.

    Please… he thought. God, I just want to go to her… Please, just… just let me… let me be with her.

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky

    Summary

    Ryland Grace woke up 11.9 light years away from Earth not knowing who he was. With time, the memories came back, but he still doesn’t remember it all.

    Of course now, as the Hail Mary is en route for Erid, Grace is struck with memories of what can only be depicted as deep-seated emotional trauma.

    And of course that happens after he’d managed to trigger a localized spacetime geometry failure in the middle of interstellar deceleration during which a literal submarine crashed into them, leaving Rocky and Grace to solve yet another doomsday scenario.

    Never a dull moment in intergalactic space.

    Summary

    “Well, I think it started with a B. Mr. B… Buh… uh…” Grace swung the door open.

    Before he could stop himself, he crashed into a person who was going out at the same time...
    He then realized, in the collision, he had spilled his coffee all over this stranger. Oh no.

    “Gah-what the fuck, man?!” the stranger exclaimed in a deep, gravelly tone.

    “Oh my gosh oh my gosh I’m so sorry-” Grace stepped back, barely keeping his balance, then started digging in his bag. “I-I think i have napkins o-or something.” As he pulled the napkins out and pressed them to the stranger’s chest, he noticed the guy’s lanyard.

    Simon Butcher, Language Arts

    Oh yeah, that was the name.

    OR

    Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher, with very little life outside of being such. Which doesn't really bother him. That is, until he meets the new English teacher, Simon Butcher. The two are so very different, like a hot black coffee and a caramel frappacino. But, is that really such a bad thing? As the too get closer, maybe their differences aren't as pronounced as they'd thought...
    What's that phrase, 'opposites attract?'

    Summary

    “Well?” He presses, picking absently at the grass staining his knees green. “What’s the verdict?”

    The man eyes him for a beat too long before scoffing quietly. “I think you’re the result of radiation poisoning.”

    Grace snorts. “Harsh. And here I was starting to think we were bonding.”

    OR : Ryland Grace hardly dreams anymore, but when he does, he finds himself sharing them with a bloodied man just beyond his universe.
