    Summary

    “I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”

    Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”

    Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.

    “My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
    -
    Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship, and somehow surviving the struggles of deep space—all while maybe falling in love with the strange man with blue eyes.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been shunned, shamed, and left behind in the field of molecular biology. Three months after attempting to defend his thesis at the UNESCO conference as a collegiate student, he is left to work alone in a small and cramped laboratory that affords little more than the four walls it sits within. Distancing himself from friends, family, and colleagues, it all quickly changes when he rescues an actual God's-honest-truth alien and brings him home. With the government on the lookout for extraterrestrial beings and one sleeping on his couch who communicates in whistles and half-word screeches, can Ryland Grace figure out what's going on before it's too late?

    Summary

    A Eridian scout ship finds an injured human and returns him to Erid. Doctor Ryland Grace is initially excited by the prospect of another human being! But after a catastrophically failed first encounter where Ryland tries to save this newcomer's life as the expense of any trust, they must learn relearn to trust each other.

    ---
    “If you leave,” Ryland pulled himself to his knees, “You’ll die.” He pressed his hands to his knees and stood to his full height.

    He lunged again, driving the stranger’s body into the wall. A pained roar echoed off the walls and threatened to drown out all else. A fist connecting with the side of his head. His vision blackened, vignetted at the edges. Grace screamed an answering roar of his own. Before his legs gave out, he dug in his heels, struggling against the man fighting for his life against him.

    A Simon/Ryland enemies-to-lovers slowburn (hopefully)
