    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    "Can the soft, warm domestic side of someone coexist with a version of them that uses violence as their first line of defense?

    Yes, Grace thinks, immediately. Yes, it can.

    But that doesn't make it any easier to accept."

    Summary

    As Simon felt fingers slip through his own, a golden halo without a face bloomed in front of his eyes. The side of the SM-13 was open, and waiting.

     

    Simon rose from hell, crawling on his belly.

    ---

    AKA: An unknown voice speaks over the speaker in the SM-13. A universe away and yet closer than ever as an opening appears, Ryland Grace sees a blip on the Hail Mary's radar.

    Grace and Rocky save Simon from the Iron Lung, and together they make their way to Erid.

    Some quotes and a summary, so I don't confuse this one with the other Bloodmary fics I've been reading

    Grace has been eating the taumeba, and just got caught. Not sure he won't do it again. :C

    Summary

    It's their third trip out since they found the taumoeba.

    The Hail Mary has been upgraded, and now runs with a crew of nine Eridians. Plus the human mascot, Grace.

    It might be his last trip out, but Grace is making the best of it. He's just in the way at that point. His eyesight is no longer needed for the ship to run smoothly, and he could be teaching instead. He's enjoyed the trip. He really has.

    But the last of the new beetles are off, headed to distant star systems. Grace was settled in at the viewport when they found an anomaly.

    That's an odd astrophage signature.

    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."

    Grace's pusle is beating against his check. Simon knows pulse, where it bleeds out. Its trying to tell him something new, now. He shifts to put his ear to it, hear it's secret. He hears Grace's heart beat out alive alive alive.

    No, that's not it, he knows that. What's the truth that exists now, right now. What is true about here and now. He remembers what Grace said, he had called it a comfort. He closes his eyes.
    Safe safe safe.
