Grace: *thinking his gay little thoughts about Simon"

Rocky: *perfectly recreates the melody of "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" by Queen out of nowhere*

Grace: "WHAT WAS THAT"

fox grace + black bear simon on the menu

[fandomgodmother420]

BloodyMarry fic where Grace and Rocky find Simon floating around in the submarine in space and Grace sees with his own eyes how bad the situation initially is

And Simon wakes up and obviously thinks that he is either dead or hallucinating and he will not believe a word of anything else. But eventually him and Grace do have the “the quiet rapture” “the what” conversation

BUT THE KICKER is that in this scenario Grace thinks the explanation Simon has is genuinely impossible, but it’s also the only thing that explains him being so far out here alive in such an awful ship covered in blood.

So Grace starts thinking shoot AM I HALLUCINATING? the last thing he heard was that he was gonna get put into a coma, a really long coma with no guarantee of survival, has he been in the coma the whole time? Did his brain dream up dead crew members because in real life he’s dying? Is it dreaming Rocky because he misses earth? Is it dreaming up Simon and his starless universe because he’s going to fail at saving them?

And now both Grace and Simon are navigating the fear that they made the other person up. Both of them waiting for the other shoe to drop. Both of them terrified of waking up alone on an empty ship in a starless universe, or not waking up at all.

BloodyMary! Language barrier AU

Where Simon is struggling to learn how to communicate with them, but he isn't stupid.

Every day, Garce gives him literally the best food he's ever tasted, then he watches him struggle down a bowl of coma slurry.

There's so much food on the ship, and Grace doesn't know how to explain that the good stuff is almost gone. But he doesn't have to. Food was always scarce. He's seen the older boys on Eden eat the nastier stuff to spare the young ones. He's both been the younger kid and the older one in that situation.

So the best meal he doesn't start eating, he waits until Grace mixes up the coma slurry. Then he goes over and switches the two. He ignores Grace's words of half hearted protest, and take a bite.

It's still so much better than the slop he was fed at the prison. So he gives Grace a shrug and a smile and gets back with his language lessons.

Meanwhile, Rocky is over in his ball, like, "Ha! Rocky told Grace food experience not important! Half human agrees! "👎👎👎

Thinking about BloodyMary headcanons.

Simon obviously comes from a time where food is absolutely scarce. Anyone who can turn the tiniest scraps of food into meals are hailed as actual saints. Recipes become so changed due to the lack of food that most of them include copious amounts of blood.

Grace lives on a teacher's salary at the start of the movie/book. Sure, he takes every morning at the diner, but he's getting the cheapest meal and just enjoying the quiet hustle and bustle before school. On Erid, he has very limited things to work with. He's gotten very good at making good tasting things out nothing, because let's be honest, he'll have basically no money left after breakfast, and he needs to make things good for himself. That skill transfers over to Erid.

Let's say Eridians know how to synthesise plants because of the little pots in the Hail Mary in the movie.

So can you imagine how Simon feels when Grace whips up a simple stir-fry one day in their shared home? Their safe space, the place filled with plants and warmth and comfort? He will break down sobbing. He eats the food and genuinely feels his soul leave his body to intertwine with the heavens. Grace is suddenly attacked by hugs and kisses to his cheeks. He squawks, flailing the still-hot spatula to not hit Simon. Both laugh, one cries, and they would not have it any other way.

They only just got to Erid and Grace already has a tumour the size of Texas (none of them know how big Texas is)

Simon 'the butcher' not inheriently being a bad person for being a part of the destruction of filliment station

Simon 'i just wanna live' nolastname not being treated like a coward or wrong by the narrative for not wanting to sacrifice himself

with the presence of purity culture and the demand for sacrificing yourself for your country/cause in order to be a valid fighter for said country/cause Iron Lung's message through simon means a lot to me
