I NEED to give you my take on the Bloodymary reverse au because I LOVE a good reverse AU
SO
Bloodymary reverse AU where Grace is a member of the C.O.I instead of Eden who used to be on their research team but is NOW a teacher to the very few kids they have after an incident ^tm where he disagreed with the rest of his team and presented a CRAZY argument. The C.O.I has run the convict program SO many times with no new results so now they want to try something different. They know a guy, someone without a family, who knows the material, who's very expendable.
Bloodymary reverse AU where Simon grew up in a cult and during a raid by police he killed an officer. As a teenager he was found guilty of manslaughter and nicknamed the butcher by the media. He was slowly rehabilitated and studied engineering in jail and then in school and is so good at it he ended up working in the big leagues, and then working on spaceships. The explosion happened and Simon was there, he was partially responsible and makes a perfect scapegoat. So the choice he's given is go in place of the crew member who died or possibly go back to prison. He tries to choose prison. He never really had a choice.
