   Summary

   “Are you an angel?” Simon blurts before immediately regretting it. It must think he’s stupid, asking something so obvious. 

   The angel pauses, caught off guard, before managing a sputtering response. “What? No. Of course not.” It insists, looking a little flustered. 

   Simon stares at it for a moment before he realizes. “Oh. Sorry.” He says. He’s not supposed to know that, it seems. That’s fine. He can keep a secret.

   OR,
   My take on the "Simon thinks he died and that Grace is an angel" trope, but with the twist that everything Grace does just convinces Simon more that he's right lmao

   Summary

   Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

   It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
    

   or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

   Summary

   When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
   She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

   Summary

   What do you do if someone wronged you and nobody seems to really care about it ? Do you just swallow that shit and move on or do you start throwing your weight around ?
   There is probably a balance to achieve between taking up the space you need to make sure nobody fucks with you but also not going so harsh as to try and control those around you. How annoying. Wish it was easier.

   A not so in-depth analysis of Benrey's jealousy towards Gordon's new favorite npc.
