   Summary

   He got used to it even though he didn’t want to. It’s like—like your lungs filling up because you want to say something, but no one lets you speak so you keep holding that air with the hope that you can finally talk. Eventually, you just let all of that air out and don't suck in another breath because you know no one cares what you have to say.

   OR

   Swap AU but make it A/B/O!

   Summary

   Simon, having woken up in a world far different than his own (and far bigger), has hid from Grace in a foolhardy effort to get his bearings. With Grace looking for him, pain medication wearing off, and exhaustion settling in, Simon has to weigh his options and take a few risks if he wants to survive.

   Summary

   Simon Aebischer has spent the last several years since being released from prison hiding from his past and quietly working toward his PhD. He has his lab, and his weird, fucked-up strand of mutated algae, and a promise he's made to himself to put something good back into the world after everything he's done. He's always assumed that "good" would take the form of meaningful contributions to marine botanical research that might, if he's lucky, do something to help their warming planet.

   But then the planet stops warming. It starts to freeze. There's life in the universe besides humanity, and it's going to kill them.

   Now there's a woman with red hair telling him he's going to be working on some kind of project. She tells him it's not optional, but he would've gladly gone anyways. He wants to do anything he can to help.

   And anything to learn more about the kind-eyed microbiologist the woman dragged along with her to kidnap him from his lab.

   Summary

   When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
   She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.
