    Summary

    Simon wasn’t used to affection.

    The last person who had given him anything of the kind was his mother, 20 years ago.

    Cults aren’t very affectionate and prisons certainly are not.

    For more than half of his life, Simon had known nothing but pain. Any hand reaching out was never gentle or soft, but always inflicted pain.

    His own hands weren’t much better. They’d been used for…horrible things.

    Survival things.

    So when Ryland Grace first placed his hand over Simon’s right and only hand, he didn’t think his reaction was wrong.

    Summary

    So Ryland Grace will love Simon until the day he dies.

    And Ryland Grace will love Simon in the next life, and the one after that, and all the ones after that.

    And Ryland Grace will sit on an empty shore of a dead sea under a forgotten moon and watch Simon live a long, full life; loved and safe and happy and free, trails of ice crystals and moondust left in his wake as he chases the light of thousands of shining stars.

    --

    Three times Ryland Grace thought he was in love, and the one time when it was true.

    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.”

    Summary

    “What’s a ‘truss’?” Grace asked, blue eyes glancing up at Simon from where he studied the tiles on the mat.

    Simon arched a brow as he looked at Grace, as if the answer should be obvious.

    “A truss,” Simon said plainly.

    “Oh. Okay,” was all Grace could say in response to Simon’s tone. “No, hold on–not okay–that doesn’t answer my question?”

    ----

    Grace and Simon play a friendly game of Scrabble, Simon decides to be a menace, Grace is bad at emotions and Rocky is stirring the pot.

    Summary

    Simon means it. He knows no matter where he goes, how far he goes, it’s always Grace pulling him back.
