Summary
All any zombie can think of around humans is feeding, a mindless frenzy that overrides any lingering consciousness that they piece together when humans aren't around. One zombie sees someone they recognize from before they turned who seems a little too lively for a zombie, but she's definitely dead. She has to be.
They can't risk thinking about the alternative.

Summary
In the far future, humanity has left Earth behind and moved to the Gaia System, consisting of six inhabited planets, three inhabited moons, and plenty of others that have yet to be terraformed- colloquially known as the "Nine Worlds". But the terraforming doesn't always come without side effects, and the planet Zoe is slowly overheating due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Those without the money to move off-world are forced to live underground to protect themselves from the heat, and in many parts of the planet even this is no longer enough, leading many people- including Parker- to move to the cooler Northern continent. But something about all of this seems oddly familiar..

Summary
The seawater burns- burns her eyes, her throat, her lungs- but it does not drown her. What none of them know is that the ocean is tired of being a dumping ground for unwanted women. So it does not drown her.

“When I’m on missions, I’m no one. There’s nothing in my head, just parameters and tactics and the metronome. And I was okay with that, but-”

Summary
“Let it never be said that Simon of Eden doesn’t go down fighting.
He staggers on his feet, agony dripping from his open arteries and veins to join the masses pooling in around him, but he doesn’t fall. Around him, the SM-13 walls shudder with the force of the Eel’s wailing. Her words are bouncing around in his skull, rattling and horrendous.
But he is still alive. For now.”
OR
Simon dies at the bottom of an ocean of blood on AT-5. Except he doesn’t. Simon is re-captured by the C.O.I. and sentenced to death. Except he isn’t.
Simon is, apparently, safe here now– wherever HERE is.
Except he can’t be.

Summary
"There’s something out there.
It shouldn’t be possible, but my eyes aren’t lying to me right now. I don’t think, anyways.
There’s an actual Blip-freaking-D right out there. Floating in space. Menacingly.
Mary isn’t glitching. I feel like I might be sick."
OR
En route to Erid, the Hail Mary picks up a signal from an unknown object. It turns out to be a ship– an impossibly HUMAN ship, nearly 12 light-years away from anywhere that might make sense. Curiosity kills the cat, Grace and Rocky get a little bit more than they bargained for, and the Hail Mary might just have a new crewmate.
If he lives, that is.

Summary
Simon believes he's hallucinating. That the man he keeps seeing and the pristine ship he repeatedly finds himself in aren't real. That that monster is fucking with his head.
Grace believes he's got a lot more on his plate than just the fate of the earth, and he's not sure which task is more impossible: stopping the astrophage without any memories, or saving one man in another universe.
OR
By getting yanked between universes, Grace gets to experience the horrors, Simon gets to save the stars, and Rocky gets two (2!) humans for the price of one.
--------------------
"-so I think, and here's the part I'm really afraid of, I think ninety nine point nine percent of humanity got turned into blood soup," Grace says.
"And Simon currently trapped in human blood soup, question?" Rocky asks.
He lets his head fall back and closes his eyes. "Hes in the soup. Hes so in the soup Rocky."

Do I Wanna Know If This Feeling Goes Both Ways by St4r_L0rd

Summary
Once I’m within range, I start hearing those sounds Rocky was talking about, little groans and hitches of breath. He’s trying to keep himself quiet, I can tell, another bad habit of his.
Wait, there’s something else, too, a sort of faint squelching? Well, he’s either very vigorously washing his hand - but, no, I don’t hear the water running - or he’s-
Suddenly, I hear what is very clearly a moan from the other side of the door, even if muffled.
Oh.
Oh my god.
Or when Rocky hears Simon making some concerning sounds in the Hail Mary’s bathroom, he sends Grace to go check on him, and the man is met with quite the surprise.
Title from Do I Wanna Know? by Artic Monkeys (but I’m specifically thinking of the Hozier cover y’know?)

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.
