    Summary

    As young adolescents, before the Quiet Rapture, Simon started randomly switching bodies with a boy who lived on earth named Ryland.

    A.k.a. I take massive creative liberties with the Iron Lung universe in order to make a Your Name inspired plot.

    A.k.a. doomed space boys fall in love and save their universes

    I was inspired to write this after seeing a lovely piece of art by maevedeava on tumblr!

    Summary

    Simon is newly graduated on the government's dime, recovering mentally and physically from the Navy submarine accident that took his arm and scarred his face, and equal parts excited and nervous for his first year teaching. Somehow, after everything he's done, he gets to be the one kids ask questions and trust to give the right answer. The paycheck and sense of purpose more than make up for how alone he is.

    Ryland Grace has two best friends who love and care for him, the job of his dreams, a boss he loves, and a suspiciously high paycheck for a middle school science teacher. So why is he still so lonely?

    A tour of the building, matching scars, and a fragile comraderie, and suddenly their lives are far more intertwined than either is fully comfortable with.

    Their friends and colleagues are almost as invested in their budding relationship as the nerdy middle schoolers are in shipping their favorite teachers.

    These oblivious idiots might need a little push in the right direction

    Summary

    After ramming the sub straight into the Light, Simon wakes up on a strange spaceship with no memory of how he got there. The state of the Hail Mary -spacious, clean, bright and comfortable- can only lead to one conclusion: Simon has somehow been picked up by one of the highest-ranking leaders of the C.O.I.

    Luckily, Dr. Grace doesn't seem to recognize him, buying Simon enough time to hatch yet another desperate plan for survival before his identity is discovered. In the meantime, Simon tries his best to stay in the man's good graces (no pun intended), but he's hardly known for his charming personality.

    Both of them are in for a bumpy ride.

    Summary

    Simon has been moved around the country multiple times since entering witness protection. He just wants to have a normal life, but that seems impossible. Until he gets moved to San Francisco, and the pretty science teacher at his new job, Dr. Ryland Grace, asks him if he'd like to split rent.

    Summary

    The C.O.I. puts the nosiest new prisoner next to his cell, and the man sure looks like fresh meat: looks funny; talks funny; walks funny; has zero survival instincts; and looks soft. He smells of privilege and luxury nobody has access to anymore in a dead solar system.

    It pisses Simon off. Pisses him off that he feels the need to try to protect this man. Pisses him off that looking at him causes déjà vu. It’s not his responsibility and shouldn’t involve him.

    So why is he getting involved?
