    Summary

    The Blood Eel only knows pain and isolation in its world. Others have come searching for answers, only to learn in the end that death is the only one that matters. But then it meets Simon. As it unmakes him it catches a glimpse of something its never seen before, Happiness. It wants to learn about it, yet Simon doesn't know it. It goes to throw him away, but then he utters a prayer.

    Hail Mary, full of Grace

    The Blood Eel searches the cosmos and comes across The Hail Mary, occupied by Ryland Grace, and it decides this is what Simon was asking for. So it obliges.

    What follows is the story of two lost souls coming together in a cosmic event, learning together to live, to love, to be happy. All while The Blood Eel looks on, insuring it continues to learn, one way or another.

    Summary

    “It’ll work better if you insulate that wire and connect it to the bolt of this gear,” Simon leans in closer as he speaks, pointing to what he’s talking about, his breath hitting the shell of Grace’s ear with each word. “It’ll keep it from short circuiting.” The ghost of contact never made makes Grace want to writhe in his seat, maybe even dare to reach o-
    “Ri-” Grace’s voice cracks embarrassingly high before he clears his throat, “right, thank you so much, I will get right on that.”

    ——

    Or 5 times Grace short circuits plus one time that… He still short circuits.
    So more accurately 5 times Simon unintentionally short circuits Grace, plus one time he intentionally short circuits Grace.

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.
