    Summary

    “Are you an angel?” Simon blurts before immediately regretting it. It must think he’s stupid, asking something so obvious. 

    The angel pauses, caught off guard, before managing a sputtering response. “What? No. Of course not.” It insists, looking a little flustered. 

    Simon stares at it for a moment before he realizes. “Oh. Sorry.” He says. He’s not supposed to know that, it seems. That’s fine. He can keep a secret.

    OR,
    My take on the "Simon thinks he died and that Grace is an angel" trope, but with the twist that everything Grace does just convinces Simon more that he's right lmao

    Summary

    There weren't many things that Grace would trade his peaceful life on Erid for.

    Honestly, most aspects of his new life were far better than his old one.

    But sometimes he wished for human company, someone to understand slightly better how he felt.

    So when Adrian's team had discovered a human trapped in a submersible while surveying other planets that might need treatment with the Taumeba, he'd said yes without hesitation to looking after the man.

    Summary

    Miami, 1991.
    A city where the heat lives not only in the air, but under the skin. Where even the mornings breathe unease, and the night knows all too well what must stay hidden.
    He woke up — alive. He came back — as if by chance. But nothing in this story is by chance.
    Once, at the very beginning, they were children. One took the light. The other — the darkness. They were brothers. But now, one of them doesn't remember, and the other can’t forget.
    This is a story of a reunion that was never meant to happen. Of feelings too sharp to be called safe. And of how easy it is to mistake love for something far more dangerous.

    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.

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.
