    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

    Summary

    Simon swears he died on the SM-13, but apparently a ship saved him. Apparently an old ship that's freakishly new, and full of dead people and a comatose man who'll wake up soon.

    He crafts a plan. He'll just beg the doctor to let him stay! The guy's pilot is dead, so he'll need a pilot! Genius.

    And then the doctor doesn't remember... Anything. So to save some difficulty, Simon simply says that, yes, HE is the pilot. Absolutely he belongs here.

    But Doctor Grace slowly starts remembering things...

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    The hardest scifi of any Bloodymary fic I've found to date. Read through ch 6

    Quotes and summary and things

    There was nothing he or anyone else could do to stop it. Everything was dying. Everyone. Every tree. Extinction was inevitable, and all that mattered was using their inconsequential bodies to feed the last dying tree. Atone for the sin of existing.

    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 helping 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.

    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
