    Summary

    Armando wiggled at him.

    "No."

    Armando wiggled again, more fervently this time.

    Ryland turned and took another glance at the submarine. It had gently floated its way to the shore, staining his beach in shades of dark red.

    Well now he didn't have an excuse. It was sitting right there, on the beach.

    Ryland groaned.

    -

    Or: Simon the convict arrives on Erid with some... biological abnormalities. Dr Grace puts his microbiology doctorate to good use trying to figure him out.

    Summary

    The Eridians investigate a signal coming from a small nearby moon. There, they find their own leaky space blob. Meanwhile, in the relative sense, Grace and Rocky set course for Erid.

    Their paths intersect.

    Or

    That time Adrian and Simon spot the xenonite-modified Hail Mary hurtling past 40 Eridani C and assume Rocky has been kidnapped.

    Summary

    When Stratt opens her eyes to the achingly, depressingly familiar Hail Mary crew coma bag, when she becomes aware of tubes and medical equipment and robotic arms, she should be confused, or angry, or terrified. Instead, the only thought she can manage is yes, this seems fair.

    Stratt wakes up on the Hail Mary in Ilyukhina's spot.

    Summary

    Grace wakes up on the Hail Mary with no memory, no idea where he is, one dead crew mate and one living one. Among other issues, the one other person on board won't wake up from his coma. He doesn't know anything about his crew mate other than his name and the fact he needs him to be ok. "Please wake up Simon."

    Summary

    Bloodymary and Coltland UNITED WE STAND! It’s the AU where Simon is the convict engineer, Grace is the scientist, and Colt is the Pilot. Hopefully they can save the stars and maybe some Yaoi shenanigans will take place (oh they definitely are). The angst tag is very purposeful I must warn.

    Summary

    Simon was no stranger to blood.

    He hadn’t exactly been the most clean-nosed child, and after his enlistment, he got fairly acquainted with what pain can do to the body, what trauma can do to the mind; what spilt blood can do to the soul. There were still nights he laid awake, listening to the muffled bombs in the distance, to the whimpers and moans of his brothers as they fought through dreams. He knew how blood smelled, how it tasted, how it felt on the skin, how there were too many types of pain to accurately describe and how to inflict each one. He’d long since desensitized himself to it— there was no room for squeamishness when you were fighting to survive, and less when you were the only one who managed it. He’d had blood on his hands for a long, long time.

    --

    Or: my version of the Swap!AU. AKA my excuse to whump Ryland Grace as much as I possibly can without outright killing him. Because where's the fun in that?

    Summary

    “Okay. We’ll start over.” The man placed his hands over his own heart as he spoke. Gentle. “My name is Dr. Ryland Grace. Most everyone just calls me Grace. You can too, if you’d like. Can I ask you what your name is?”

    Grace. Maybe his soul hadn’t been abandoned.

    OR

    In which the planet Erid, impossibly, adds a second human to their population.

    Summary

    Simon wakes up. He hadn't thought he would wake up after his lungs were filled with blood. And yet, here he is, in a pitch-black room, wounds tended to, listening to the most beautiful song he's ever heard.
    He's in a world where the stars are alive, and he's been rescued from his blood-soaked iron coffin by a strange, clever little rock-spider alien trying to save the stars. Of course he'll help. Too bad neither of them are biologists...
    But the new human ship approaching them might have someone aboard who is... if they don't turn Simon into a lab rat first, anyway.

    [BloodyMary where Simon gets wormholed to PHM 'verse but it's before the Hail Mary arrives, so he's saved by Rocky and spends a while on the Blip-A]

    Summary

    Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.

    It’s another Hail Mary.

    Summary

    As an internet streamer, Simon had to keep a lot of things about his life secret even if he wanted to talk to someone about it. His past, his hobbies, hell even his clothing choices sometimes. Of course, it was nearly the same for Grace, albeit much less since he had his best friend.
    None could really predict that this would happen, but they both knew they wouldn’t hear the end of it from Rocky and Adrian wasn't about to step in.

    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

    Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

    All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

    OR

    The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

    Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

    “That’s very strange," He remarked.

    “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

    “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”

    Dr. Ryland Grace. Colt Seavers. Simon "The Butcher".

    Each of them are lost to a world that disregards them in unique ways. What happens when society decides that each of them are expendable enough to be sacrificed for the will of humanity? What happens when Grace isn't the only survivor?

    What happens when I make Bloodymary and Coltland twins real?

    All good questions.
