    Summary

    “Yeah. Nothing beats cuddles, if you ask me,” Grace said, trying to lighten the mood.

    Simon’s frown only deepened. “I wouldn’t really know.”

    Grace’s smile dropped. He fidgeted with his glasses, an idea already forming, but no. No, that’s a lot to ask. Too much. They’re barely friends. More like roommates of pure circumstance who mostly get along.

    But what if…?

    “Would you…” Grace started. Stopped. Tried again. “This is like, totally no pressure, and you can say no. But, uh, if you wanted to, we could, um—”

    “Spit it out, man,” Simon said, not unkindly, if a little annoyed.

    “Wouldyouwanttotrycuddlingwithme?”

    Simon blinked. “What?”

    Or... against all the odds, Simon finds himself in Ryland Grace's universe. This is how they find home.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    It is red. A bright, remarkable red. Ryland unbuckles himself, stepping around Rocky to press his hand to the window, and rubs at his eyes when his vision blurs. “Rocky.”

    “Grace-friend sit down. Head leaking.”

    “It’s got an ocean.”

    -

    An AU where Simon survives to be found by Grace, and accidentally brings something else with him.

    Summary

    There are many, many moments that Simon doesn't want to relive. Of course, that doesn't mean that they don't play in his head anyway. Perhaps too often. But Grace is there, and he usually manages to make it at least a little better.

    or i don't know how to write summaries but it's simon trauma with a shit ton of religious imagery and a very heavy but also healing but also freaked out religious experience and also simon mom stuff but highkey really sad and then when he wakes up and is freaking out grace helps him wash his hair.

    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.
