PHM/IRON LUNG KID AU IDEA
I saw SOMEWHERE the idea that kid Simon gets yeeted to the PHM universe and Grace basically adopts him and it's all well and good and soft and happy found family...
Until something happens and Simon gets sent away back to his world again...
So maybe in Time Go Fishing something happens and the whole thing causes Simon to get thrown back home after he saves Grace and Rocky from the Adrian incident, so when Grace wakes up, Simon is gone.
And Grace crashes out thinking he lost his kid (or maybe he didn't exist at all) but Rocky reassures him he was real and they try to get their kid back...
THEN a sketchy bloody sub appears in space soon after, they go in, he sees Simon bloody and wrapped in the creepy tendrils inside. He doesn't recognize him at first but then he sees some pendant or trinket he gave him around his neck and he knows it's Simon...
And he gets Simon back inside the Mary and heals him and Grace has a Second crash out, Simon wakes up eventually, but ALSO crashes out and thinks its all a dream (like before, when he got sent back he was told he dreamed the whole thing) and not real and it goes until he pushes Grace away, which causes Grace to get hurt a lil bit and Simon sees him bleeding and he gets a memory of when he saved him (Time Go Fishing) and he has ANOTHER crash out and ends up passing out-
And NOW Grace sees his kid grown up, traumatized to hell and back, wounded beyond belief, and HE cRASHES OUT A THIRD TIME cause now he thinks he failed his kid and let him suffer for years and he blames himself for Simon's state and is just crying by the bedside holding Simon's hand like he used to when he was a kid...
And cue awkward reunion time after cause, great now your kid is like, 30 and he was 10 an hour or so ago
