    Summary

    Simon died. He felt it, something ripping him open from the inside and tearing his body apart. There should have been no coming back from that end and yet, here he is. 

    The monster had spoken of a pinhole god, curious and wanting to understand their universe. Then it forcibly pushed him into the Light, where something much bigger than him, to what Simon is little more than a speck of dust, had looked straight at Simon. Had seen him, known him, said his name.

    Maybe seeing Simon sacrificing himself for the good of humanity, had earned him one last chance at life. Not enough to balance the scales of the afterlife but enough to be saved for now.

    Or maybe this god is nothing like the one Simon knows of, could not give less of a shit what Simon is and what he’s done, and is just curious to see what a dead man would do if left alive. 

    Either way, Simon lives.

    Fuck.

    --

    Simon dies and lives again. (And finds something to be brave for in the process.)

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    When in the rut of taomebia research hits a stalemate, a new blip settles on the horizon of the Hail Mary. A rusty mutated submarine adrift in space. Rocky and Grace must now tackle the hurdle of a monster man that brings new questions to the table? Including homoerotic questions.

    Grace is a rational selfish man. And Simon is a ruthless killer with a heart of iron. But what happens when these pretenses fade? What happens When two forgotten martyrs have a meet-cute in the blood pit?

    Or

    Slow burn of Simon acting like a kicked dog and slowly trusting Grace

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    Simon is more convinced that this is hell. He will be forced to relive his last moments alive for eternity, his blood wasted to slick the throat of the eel. He will be chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed, chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed for infinity. He tries to exercise some will in this cycle by falling back into unconsciousness. After all, he figures, if this truly is his punishment, some devil will ensure he’s awake to feel his death.

    It is not a devil who wakes him. His eyes open to see a light lift him from the blood, pull him from the grasping hands of the damned.

    “Angel?”

    The angel does not respond.

    ------------------------

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace encounter some weird blips. They've been watching Scooby-Doo and are getting a bit bored so might as well do some sleuthing of their own, right? Who knows, could be someone else trying to fix the Astrophage problem. And it's on the way! How convenient! They aren't prepared to find another human, who is living a blood soaked submarine. In space.
