Summary
Ever since they dragged this man aboard, Grace has felt slightly insane. He hasn’t been able to function fully, always torn between his duties to Rocky and his apparent duties of watching over The Stranger
Grace spends a majority of the day he doesn’t feel needed in the lab sitting in the med bay, watching Armando as it whirs away to keep the Stranger stable. He knows Rocky is probably worried about him, or even a bit hurt because of his newly divided attention, but he also trusts that Rocky understands. After all, this is the first time he’s seen someone of his own species in… a very very long time.
Rocky has a whole planet to come home to. A mate. A life where he will be regarded as a hero, just like Stratt promised Grace would be.
Grace has one unconscious manOR

Summary
rocky has been alone for many many many years, he doesn't expect to be getting a new friend out of catching this sad hunk of space junk.

grace didn't know what he expected to find out in space, but an alien ship with another HUMAN ON IT was definitely very low on his list.
---
Simon wakes up in complete blackness, no glowing camera button, no spark of electricity… just fucking blackness.He slowly sits up, his hair pulling bits of congealed blood up with him; there is at least 5 inches of the stuff all around him. He sticks his arm out to feel for the wall of the sub but comes up with empty space; he moves a little further, still nothing.
He slowly gets up and walks forward, holding his hand out until he hits something, a large, smooth, curved object. He feels along it and realizes that this is the outside of the sub… he's out… he's… he's actually fucking out!

Summary
Ryland Grace had many bad experiences with other humans.
Simon has also had many bad experiences with other humans.
When coming in contact with a human that for the first time is nice to him, Simon wants to cling onto that for dear life.
Grace on the other hand doesn’t know if he can learn to befriend another human again after his last poor experience on Earth.

Summary
"Friend Grace, you are second human to visit Erid, statement."
Defeating all odds, there's already a human on Erid when Rocky and Grace finally reach the planet.
He's not in the best state as Grace soon discovers. Not only that, but the Eridians clearly have no idea how to take care of a human. Or how to communicate with someone who's even more confused (read: paniced) than they are.Enter Grace, Rocky and the massive database of the Hail Mary.

Summary
When an Eridian probe picks up on what sounds like a human voice, on a planet that wasn't previously on any starmaps, of course Grace has to go investigate what it is. He wasn't sure what he expected to find, but a welded shut submarine with a man trapped inside certainly wasn't it.

Summary
Simon…my name is Simon.”
Ryland smiles, wide and earnest. Simon has never seen the sun but he imagines this is what it feels like under the warmth of its glow.
The blond man reaches a hand forward, and Simon awkwardly takes it in his too-tired grasp.
“Nice to meet you, Simon. I’m Dr. Captain Ryland Grace of the Hail Mary and current microbiology and astrophysics teacher here on Erid. Welcome aboard.”
———
Obligate “Simon wakes up on Erid” fic with a small twist.

Summary
“COI,” Simon growled, bringing one knee up and shifting his weight, struggling to remember how to stand. The ground bucked beneath him, sending him onto all fours, the impact jarring every nerve. “Not done feeding me to it, keep chewing and spitting.”
He gagged on his next words, choking back a sob. “'M’not a person, am I? Just a machine to you. Patch me up, send me in again..." Every muscle seized in a violent, cramping tremor. His breath shook. Cold sank into his bones while his skin seared hot.
“I don’t know who this COI is,” Grace said evenly. A cough. A few deep, wheezing breaths. “Wow, you really did a number on me.”
“Rocky explain,” the alien said firmly, tapping Grace’s knee not too gently before turning back to Simon. “You in danger. You hurt. We hear distress call through wormhole. We help.”

Summary
this is my first fic 🙈 feedback is always appreciated! I'll update the tags as I continue to write :)
title inspired by Leave the City by Twenty One PilotsRocky stands freakily still, before speaking, “The Eridian research team found a human.” He stomps his feet, dancing in place.
He sings, “MATE FOR GRACE!”
For a split second, Grace stops breathing. His eyes widen, forehead creasing before he stumbles forward, sputtering, “W-what?”OR Grace and Simon trauma-bond and it's very cute

Summary
Saved from the congealed depths of a blood ocean by an angel named Grace, Simon discovers that accepting patience and kindness is far scarier than dying in the jaws of a sentient eel. The only thing scarier than those two are the damned souls from The Light now carried with him in his veins.
or
Three times Simon freaks out about giving up control in favor of being cared for and one time he lets Grace love him like he truly wants.

Summary
Simon has never been good with kids. When a child appears out of thin air in his submarine and the COI still refuses to pull him up, all Simon can do is protect her from the horrors of the ocean. Even if he knows there's not much hope for either of them to live.
Ryland Grace is living his best life on Erid. He has a wonderful best friend, scientific colleagues who respect him, and students who adore him. Unless he decides to make the journey back to Earth, however, he doesn't expect to see another human any time soon. He certainly wasn't expecting to stumble upon a traumatized father and daughter welded into a blood-filled submarine.

Summary
“Simon, as far as I’m concerned, you can stay for as long as you want. No question about it. Just get some rest, okay?”
Well. That settled it. This man was either fucking stupid, or he was the most kind hearted person that Simon had ever met. Deep down, he had a feeling he already knew which one.
He looked up at Ryland with heavy, drooping eyelids to see hair sticking out in every direction, glasses askew, and a big cozy sweater swallowing his frame. Cute.
If Simon didn’t watch himself, he was going to be in big fucking trouble. As his eyes fluttered closed, he also got the sense that it was already too late.

Summary
The journey to Erid was long and tedious, despite Rocky's best efforts to alliviate the boredom, four years with only a bossy rock for company is enough to drive anyone insane.
Upon arrival, sick and malnourished, Grace expects to be met with confusion and fear from the eridians, demands for explanations, and a long and drawn-out process to create living conditions for him.
What he does not expect to find is another human, comfortably living at the eridians' best recreation of an apple orchard and fiercely attached to Rocky’s mate, Adrian.

Summary
Grace has been living on Erid for a few years now, and life is pretty great! He loves the Eridians, especially his students, and spending the rest of his life studying an alien species and having that alien species study him is practically a dream come true. Sure, he got a little lonely sometimes, but that couldn't be helped.
It's not like another human would magically appear out of thin air. That would be crazy.
