ok so I can have it stated somewhere: I think the main crux of this au is that dubois doesn’t die. he is given the correct amount of astrophage, the test goes well, he and Shapiro have some sex, and then he gets on the ship with Yao and ilyukhina. I think that the cause of death here will be faulty feeding tubes (as I see that being floated around) and ilyukhina happened to get the one Grace would have had had he have gone.
unfortunately this means Grace stays on earth with stratt and never gets to meet the love of his life (platonically) and is forever a coward but yk. The au isn’t about him 🧍♀️
