    Summary

    “This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.

    “Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”

    Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”

    “I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”

    “Do you want to talk instead?”

    Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”
    -----
    Or Eridians find Simon's submarine while spreading Astrophage to the galaxy and bring him back to Erid. Grace has to change his normal routine to help this new human adjust to life. Slowly, they get to know one another, despite Simon potentially being a war criminal from a moon with an ocean full of blood. But there's just something else about Simon that Grace can't shake, and he's pretty sure Simon feels it too...

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Summary

    “Knock Knock.”

    Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper. 
    ...

    How did he know that?

    A time-travel, sibling au where Ryland is sent back to the moment Project Hail Mary began, gifting him a second chance at reuniting with his brothers before returning to space. Now if only the brothers, who remember everything, can convince him to stay this time.

    Summary

    "Ohmygod Mr. Grace I am so so so sorry I didn't realize anyone was in here!Not that im blaming you of course not listen I can explain I left my bag because I took my gym bag on accident after school but I needed my actual bag and this is just a costume for fun I sometimes like to dress up (please let him believe this) I swear im so sorry I broke in - "

    Mr. Grace lifted his hand, palm facing out like he did in class when Peters classmates got too rowdy. Peter stopped speaking abruptly, biting his lip and looking down. Not before noticing that Mr. Grace had slipped his glasses back to their proper position on the ridge of his nose, which was strange because Mr. Grace's glasses were almost always hanging precariously off of a single ear or the collar of his sweater.

    "Are you hurt?"

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was sent to die. He was condemned to a watery grave in the depths of AT-5 by people he trusted, people he thought he could rely on. All Grace can do now is bide his time before whatever lurks in the blood ocean kills him like the convicts before him. But then… he hears a message on the radio.

    aka swap bloodymary where they basically text a little bit before having a super awkward meet ugly ever and two rock aliens are there wondering why the two humans won't just kiss already while a blood eel terrorizes them in the background

    Summary

    Grace wakes up aboard the Hail Mary, confused, dazed, of course. One of the crew is dead, and the other is still in their coma.

    And then he's suddenly not alone, with someone who also can barely remember how they got here.

    Their memories as to how they got here are not helping much either, but one's might be returning faster than the others.. at the detriment of their sanity.

    (AU where Ilyukhina didn't end up on the ship, Simon is raised in a cult on Earth, is an amputee with a prosthesis and ended up an engineer on the Hail Mary. Plot will be canon but not at the same time, I'm gonna do my best)

    (Story switches between Grace centric and Simon centric during different chapters, but honestly its becoming very Simon centric as time goes on)

    Each title chapter is a lyric from a song that gives BloodyMary to me, will put songs in chapter notes

    Summary

    Colt and Ryland haven't been in contact for years, in fact Colt hasn't been in contact with his whole family for years. After being recruited during a movie where he had to fly multiple planes, they heavily criticized him for joining the navy like their dad. Too many traumatic memories were connected to the old man and his military discipline.

    Now after all these years, he gets the order to escort a group of important officers and scientists to a secret base in the middle of the ocean. He isn't aware that his twin brother would be on the ship.

    or:

    Colt being a navy pilot, Ryland being recruited for a secret operation due to his (failed) academic career. There's an explosion of the ship, Colt disobeys orders and tries to rescue his brother. (Pre-mission Ryland from the movie, he was recruited while being a teacher)

    Summary

    “What’s up, Simon? How’d you enjoy last night? Did you like the barbecue?” Colt says, using his grip on Simon’s shoulder to make him spin on his stool so they are face-to-face. Colt smiles widely.

    - Simon grabs hold of his shirt and pushes him back against the wall, crashing their mouths together. His hand sinks into his blonde hair, pulling him closer.-

    “Yeah, it was nice,” he confirms, clearing his throat. He straightens on his stool, fidgeting with the frayed edge of his apron.

    “Yeah? What about my brother? How did you get along with him?” Colt asks. “I know he’s a bit,” he gestures in the air with his hand, “you know? But he’s a really nice guy when you get to know him.”

    -Ryland is pliant beneath him, panting hard into Simon’s mouth as they move together. His skin is so hot against Simon’s that it burns. A moan rips out of his throat as he comes deep into Simon, squeezing his ass hard, keeping him in place as Ryland grinds up into him. There’s gonna be fingerprints on his ass tomorrow, for sure.-

    “Yeah, yeah, he’s nice,” Simon replies, looking down at Colt’s shoes.

    Or

    Grace intercepts Simon's radio waves from the sub, eventually Grace hauls him back to his place to begin a long healing process that totally doesn't include him thirsting over the well-built, black-haired, grumpy man that hides in his closet.

    Summary

    There was one universal constant as far as drifting went: twin’s had the best compatibility.

    Ryland? Ryland was not a pilot. He understood the situation, the threat, the stakes, everything that was on the line. But he was not a Jaeger pilot.

    He looked at Colt, he knew Colt wouldn’t ask him directly. And wasn’t that really its own sort of asking?

    Or

    Colt just lost his co-pilot. That didn’t mean the danger stopped.

    It’s him.

    Not him, as in Grace, but him as in the maybe-twin in the photo.

    He has this sad, stricken face on him, and is standing stock still several feet away.

    “Hey there,” Grace attempts.

    “Ry?”

    Or, Colt and Grace are estranged twins who begin to have very strange shared dreams.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace thought that working on secret government science projects and then being basically bitten by a radioactive spider and then turning into a gosh-darn superhuman would be the wildest thing that ever happened to him. Because why wouldn't it???

    But then one day, after coming home from his perfectly NORMAL job as a school teacher, he senses something. Something new, yet familiar. After trying to chase his best friend's worry away (that certainly won't bite him in the butt, no....) he walks into his house and finds...NINE other spider people. A good chunk of them, by the way, are TEENAGERS and he's pretty certain that he shouldn't be ok with literal kids runninga round risking lives. He's a teacher, for crying out loud!
