    Summary

    Dr Grace lets out an explosive burst of breath, setting down his cup. “I mean! She can’t be serious. There’s no way I could- I’m not- There’s just no way! It’s a joke.”

    Carl hums neutrally. “Boss doesn’t joke.”

    Three hours in the life of a dead man walking, and a woman with the world in her hands.

    Summary

    My doctor brings the needle closer. “Savior Grace ready, question?”

    “Ready,” I whisper.

    “Good good good,” says the doctor. “I attend you as you enter space.”

    My body goes rigid with panic and my eyes snap open. I don’t think I can breathe right now.

    Space? No, no, no….

    Even after three years on Erid, things are still sometimes lost in translation.

    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    The file I’ve found is named: Grace Don't Look Until Beetles Launched

    Creepy. Ominous, even. There’s a little code attached to the file that hides it from a system search. The only way I could have found it was an accident.

    I open the file and a video log pops up. The play button blinks mockingly. The date at the corner of the log is two years before I first woke up on the Hail Mary. It would have been recorded when I was deep in coma-sleep. When everyone on board should have been deep in coma-sleep.

    Ilyukhina’s slightly pixelated visage is sprawled across a pilot chair and she’s mid-chew on a twizzler.

    Grace wakes up in the middle of nowhere, alone, with only the fragments of memories left in his concussed skull. All he has is a map with a marked destination, two dead friends, and the understanding that the world has been lost to a virus.

    But Rocky uses another claw to grab a tissue and wipe at his skin. His touch is always surprisingly tender for being a rock.

    “Did you think…” his voice trails off. “Did you think I was gonna -”

    “No,” Rocky says immediately, cutting him off. “Grace sick. Grace hurt. But Grace no die.”

    Grace nods. “I wouldn’t have gotten through this without you.”

    Rocky dabs the tears around his eyes away. “Rocky would not be here without Grace.”

    Summary

    In order to reduce his sentence, Simon makes a deal to go onto the SM-13 and collect data from the blood ocean. He doesn’t know the extent of what that means until it’s too late.

     

    Grace, formerly a scientist but now a criminal, was shunned from society for being a survivor of one of the greatest catastrophes since the Quiet Rapture. He decides to volunteer for a research mission to put good to his name.

     

    They end up stuck together, untied only by a shared goal and a desire to survive. Things do not go smoothly aboard the Iron Lung.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ch. 3: Grace and Simon are sent back down to depth in the blood ocean and encounter the “skeleton” again, at which point Grace realizes that the creature only appeared to be a skeleton because they were looking at it with an x-ray camera. Panicked, he manages to convince Simon that they need to leave. Simon quickly agrees. As they start to make their way out of danger, Grace and Simon talk, and Simon learns that Grace used to live and work on Filament Station. Simon is immediately overwhelmed with guilt but can’t find it in himself to tell Grace the truth of what happened. They find rations and eat them, and also drink some of the (medical) alcohol that they find on the submarine.

    It probably says a lot about the state of absolute lunacy that is his life that when Grace unexpectedly jolts awake back on Earth thirty years in his past, his feelings on the matter can be summarised as

    Huh. Well I guess this might as well happen too?

    "Grace sleep less with nightmares. Grace get stupid. Grace get mean. Why Grace not tell Rocky about nightmares, question?"

    Him and his stupid genius brain! Why can't he just get it's not easy? Why can't he just leave well enough alone? Oh, right, because we're friends and he cares about me and he's worried about me. I just can't man up and tell him what's going on because I'm afraid he will either literally or figuratively explode.

    "Social discomfort." I roll away from him, shielding myself in the quilt.

    Colt falls, and the cables whir.

    They’re ten, and a group of boys corner Ryland during recess. He takes every insult they throw at him, shoulders hunched and head bowed, until Colt elbows his way between them. Colt, who shouts back with spitting insults and swinging fists. Colt, who ends up in the principal’s office much more after that.

    Colt falls, and the cables whir.

    They’re fifteen, and Colt is reminding Ryland that yes, he does need sleep to function, and no, an energy drink does not count as a meal and oh my god what do you mean that’s the only thing you’ve eaten for the past three days?

    Colt falls, and the cables whir.

    -

    Or: Ryland comes to watch Colt do his stunts, because who doesn't love watching their brother get thrown into walls and lit on fire? Only, it's Colt's first falling stunt since the accident, and things don't go so well.
