simon, after the adrenaline wears off: oh god oh no i hugged him i TOUCHED him i need to throw myself into dirt and bury myself i need a small space to- what the fuck is he doing in the mental health node
grace, after putting on a video of mars: I found your mountain the one you said you liked and the lake in the crater? we can go there when we get back if you want i think i’m turbo dead legally on earth sooooo
simon, staring blankly ahead: i would give you my seed
grace:
grace: wh at
simon: the- the seed. the highest honor when someone dies. i would give up my place in a burial chamber so you could have a seed planted where you rest
grace: HUH
Simon, unable to shut up: can we tell rocky to mix the soil our bodies become i want to be one with you
grace: hey so is planning funerals like planning a wedding
simon: no (very obviously lying)
grace:
grace: i mean
grace: sure?? we can be dirt together
simon: :)
grace: oh my god you can smile
simon: I HAVE SMILED BEFORE
grace: WH- NOT AT ME
simon: YOU JUST WEREN’T LOOKING WHEN I WAS
grace: do you smile at me when i’m not looking a lot
simon: >:(
grace: your scowl means nothing now you smile at me when i look away
simon is going to fall so painfully fast and there is nothing to catch him
he is the fall first and the fall hard poor boy
he is not ready for these emotionssss
grace’s demidemi ass is also not ready for this but in completely different ways bc he already sees simon as a friend and his head may be in the clouds but simon is right up their with him
they are both dreamers and grace is gonna learn that and its going to be very painful knowing that and also knowing how the only thing simon was allowed to get creative with for a long time was how to be violent
spoilers for soldier, poet, kindred spirit bc i need to yap before i explode
fucking around with lore is so fun unfortunately i am becoming very attached to father augustine
writing the flashback/thinking about how things used to be with him and simon when simon was a teenager makes me Big Sad
simon had his mother to teach him kindness till he was like 8, but augustine had to claw his way out of so much conditioning on his own after his missionary work made him go from True Believer to Raging Against The Dying Of The Light
he really wanted to make a better eden for his people. the only ones left on eden were true believers and he knew he had to change things slow so they wouldn’t have a civil conflict between those still loyal to jacob’s way of life and the way augustine had in mind for eden
it was an uphill battle from day one and he was going to crawl if he had to
but the astrophage seemed so unstoppable
the most he could do was try and save six people
give them twelve years
make sure the kindergarten and the apprentice station survived
he knew he couldn’t save the sisters and brothers— They No Longer Wished To Be Free
I GOT MORE THAN FOUR HOURS OF SLEEP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY DAYS I AM GOING TO LIVE FOREVER
And by that i mean hopefully have the energy to continue writing simon and grace’s very Normal conversation about what kind of relationships were allowed on eden bc grace is now curious about studying rocky AND simon

Finale/Children will Listen Pt. 2 (the Voices bothering Simon)
rotating that with simon’s healing process on erid and thinking about his mom and trying to remember the advice she gave him and what little he recalls of he papa and also the guy haunting him the most out of his crew and i cryyyy
specifically the “know we’ll sing your name when you come home” and simon hearing his name sung on erid vs the silence of the eden crowd when he left on his crusade
listening to “Going Down” from the hair musical and laughing way too much picturing Simon having a breakdown and switching to calling grace Enemy again but like affectionately like “yep me and the Enemy are doomed forever let’s fucking GOOOOO” (launches the fucking ship forward bc he was allowed in the cockpit during a breakdown
specifically “this is my doom. my humiliation” is him thinking about grace in ways he “shouldn’t” and “october not june” i picture him thought bubbling a rainbow flag and tearing it down like “NOT PRIDE MONTH NO GAY THOUGHTS”
but the “it’s like the fourth of july” bc grace’s voice is like fireworks to him due to synesthesia “thank god that angels can fly” and its flashback or something to when him and grace are pretending to fly while on a space walk and simon is just kind of… marveling at him bc his magnets stick him to the ship and grace is flying around to get shit done
that’s HIS demon and simon LOVES him (eventually)
goes from calling him enemy to morning star to guiding light probably
Fleshing out Eden has been my favorite part of writing so far tbh?? Like the kids all get pink veils to keep their hair clean while they do apprentice stuff and just bc kids are messy and it keeps them from messing with each other by like gum/glue pranks and stuff as well as religious reasons
and simon was so goddamn bitter about his veil being removed when he got older bc it kept kids from pulling his hair so i keep pondering grace is going to make him one somehow and like they’ve got a language barrier but they’re working on it the same way grace did with rocky
rotations of
simon: idk i just miss being with my friends and not worrying about so much and the veil kinda reminds me of the simpler times
