I don't ship Grace and Simon but the shippers did make me speculate on how it would work.
I don't think Simon is some natural aggressive alpha top (I can only see him as a switch) but he wants to survive more than anything and he spent years in a hardcore prison where he probably learned some unhealthy things about sex between men. So what does Grace (whom I can only see as a demisexual switch) who clearly doesn't care about power dynamics and masculinity do when a man like that is dumped into his habitat?
I imagine it would be an extremely slow burn where it takes a lot longer for Grace to show interest in Simon than Simon expected, and Simon has to learn that sex between men doesn’t have to be transactional and being guarded and aggressive won't do him any good on Erid.
I’ve had three people DM me now asking if they can write a fanfic based on this comic and they all sounded very apologetic for DMing me so this is a blanket approval for everyone to do whatever they want based on this comic. No need to ask. It’s all good.
