    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    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

    Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts after the war intending to resume a normal life.

    Instead, she accidentally dismantles her emotional regulation with experimental magic, gets caught hugging armor in the middle of the night, unloads several years of unresolved grief onto Severus Snape, and starts something that absolutely should not be happening with her professor.

    Snape is quite certain this is a terrible idea.
    Hermione is persuasive, stubborn, and—most irritatingly—often correct.
    Unfortunately, they may also be exactly what the other needs to figure out what comes next.
