    Summary

    There's no love in placing a blade in a child's hand— there's so much in the way Ryland touches him that it fills an ache that he's known for as long as he can remember.

    Simon's been hungry his whole life. For food, for freedom, to live. He's been starving for this since the day he was born.

    OR: In the aftermath of their reconciliation, perched on the precipice of something new, Simon and Grace have to work out what they want, and decide a path forwards. Neither of them is under the illusion that it's going to be easy— both of them know that it will be worth it in the end.

    Summary

    To be honest, Grace did have his doubts about him.

    When the new human first woke up, he punched Grace in the face and tried to run away. He didn’t speak for his first three days of being conscious. Not the best first impression.

    Rocky, in the meantime, had one job. He was specifically tasked with building this new human a place to stay. Grace hadn’t made time for blueprints, too busy fumbling the situation that was his first real human in over fifteen years.

    Grace didn’t realize ‘please build the new human a place to stay’ would be translated into ‘expand my home! the human will be living with me!’

    Summary

    There’s something divine in the way Grace smiles— Simon has been damned since the day he was born.

    Bloodied then, too.

    OR: Simon is adjusting to a new life on Erid. One where things - he - can be different. But he's never known how to want things, how to quell his own desperation, and he fears fucking it all up far more than anything he's dealt with before.

    Summary

    It was almost surreal for Grace to imagine that there was another actual human being aboard his ship right know. Well, it was surreal because there was logically no way for a human to have travelled all the way from Earth to Erid in a gosh darned submarine, but let’s assume Grace was beginning to accept that fact (at least until he could ask the man a few questions), but back when he had remembered the details about the project Hail Mary, back when he had first remembered that he had been sent out in space to die on his own, with no hope of seeing Earth ever again, Grace had been forced to come to terms with the idea that he would never see another human being ever again. The last faces he’d see were those of his two deceased colleagues, and that wasn’t necessarily a good memory.

    To have another human here, with him, Grace couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

    Summary

    “Ryland,” Simon said, his tone gentle but firm.

    Grace blinked, looking at Simon.

    “H-Huh?”

    Simon’s gaze fixed on him. A look of knowing. Of understanding.

    “Take me down,” he repeated. “Pin me before I pin you.”
