    Summary

    Ryland Grace— savior of two planets— uses that title to get whatever he wants from the rock aliens that serve him. That familiar, human, tendency to abuse status and power is the only reason Simon knows that this is real— that Erid and Ryland aren't another trick, and Simon the Butcher gets to keep them.

    Only, he's known Ryland for months now, and the short tempered, scarily intelligent, sad, *kind*, man he knows doesn't seem like the type to ask for anything at all

    The rock that barely tolerates him has a surprise for both of them, and Simon still has more to learn about his housemate.

    Or: Simon falls in love with Grace's flaws before his virtues

    Summary

    "A boon, for the one who joined us all into God."

    "What do you want, my son?"

    His voice comes out, half sobbing, desperate. “I- I want- I want someone who can save the stars. I want someone to make me human again, really human. I want the quiet rapture to have never happened- I want planets and stars again-”

    ---

    A prayer is answered. Simon is transported to a very different world, with very strange new friends, and forced to keep very close contact to keep his body whole.

    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

    The Mer is colossal. Chase can see that much, even from the way that it’s curled around itself; the expanse of its tail long enough that it might be as long as the ship—perhaps even longer.
    It looks as if it was drawn from ink and leapt straight off of the parchment; rich black coiling between patterns of charcoal and slate that snake across its tail in intricate patterns, like cooling magma although set in the colours of darkness, glistening where the sun’s light kisses each scale and sets them shimmering like stars in the midnight sky.

    Beneath the natural beauty, the darkness of the Mer’s tail softens as it travels further up its body although it’s dorsal and back remain dark as storm clouds while it’s stomach and chest softens into silver, just as precious as it’s obsidian scales, but cut with gills that follow the shape of its ribcage. Or, perhaps, where a Humans’ ribcage would be when compared to its shape.
    It is winged by fins that are barbed in frame but thin into almost-gossamer veils: the same gentle curtain of glistening mercury as his tail fin and spines on his back and stretching between clawed fingers that are as rich in shade as the base of its tail.

    Mer AU but make it Giant/Tiny

    Summary

    “You like touching me,” he says, and there’s no teasing in it now, just doubtless certainty.

    Buddy swallows. “I do,” he confirms, rough and unguarded. “You never stop me.”

    “Why would I?” Chase murmurs, head cocking slightly to the side. “I like it too.”

    Buddy exhales slowly, like something in him is crumbling under the weight of all this torturous, aching closeness.

    “I know.”

    “You should do it more,” Chase says, voice just barely audible over the TV.

    Buddy watches him carefully. Their breaths weave together in the limited space between them.

    “I’d touch you all the time if I could,” Buddy admits.

    or, chase and buddy have a 2am makeout session.
