Summary
Simon lives in Filament, a small mining town in the country of Slagton in the late 19th century. Airships float in the skies, and angels fall from them. This angel, however, is being chased by pirates, the army, and a mysterious spy. He holds the key to a secret city, which is more myth than real. But the drawings in his mother's journals line up with the angel's story.
On the run, Simon and Grace must escape peril, find the hidden city, and discover the truth for themselves with only a magic stone to guide them.

Finding Home by C4t1l1n4

Summary
A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)
Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.[This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

Summary
“Grace how old, question?”
Grace blinks, lifting his head up from the cool metal of the lab table where he’s been nursing a headache for the last hour. Caffeine withdrawal, he thinks, having finally run out of coffee four months into their four year journey to Erid.
“Thirty—uh…” His mind blanks for a second, forgetting to calculate the four years he spent in a coma, and the still slightly patchy memories that have come back from his life. “Thirty-six, I think? Give or take a year or two.”
Or: Rocky finds out how long humans live and crashes out.

Last Night on Earth by Nativestar

Summary
Dr. Ryland Grace is being held in Quarantine, the sole patient on the entire floor, with guards posted at every exit and only his small team of medical staff approved to come and go. So it’s entirely reasonable for Eva to expect no one to be in Grace’s room given that it’s 2am and she specifically timed her visit between the night shift’s routine medical checks.
He’s not alone.
Missing scene, Grace's last night on Earth.
