Summary
After his humiliation at the UNESCO conference in Denmark, Ryland Grace loses everything. Homeless and without a job, a mixture of pride and shame stops him from approaching his estranged twin Colt Seavers, who "probably has enough on his plate post-accident to worry about his good-for-nothing brother."
At his most vulnerable, he gets recruited by the Eden Institute, a cult masquerading as an independent research facility. There, he meets Simon, and the rest is history.
Eden teaches him how to love and, ultimately, how to protect yourself and those you love. Whatever means necessary.
OR:
The result of asking: "How can we make Ryland Grace a toxic yaoi protagonist without making him too out-of-character?"
Answer: Give him a fucked up backstory.
A prequel to a greater madness.

Summary
"There's no need to negotiate for your safety, Doctor Grace," Stratt says sternly. "I can assure you, after saving the world, you will be looked after."
"Um, no," he says, shaking his head. "I'm not negotiating for my safety." He steps aside. “I’m negotiating for theirs.”
They walk into the light of the open doorway; Simon, squinting hard against the vivid sun with his hand raised to shield his eyes and Rocky, who chirps a casual "Hello, humans!" with a wave.
There’s a gasp; someone takes a step backward; one of the military personnel raises their rifle slightly.
Grace doesn’t have eyes for them - he only looks at Stratt.
And he decides, then and there, to replace the image of Stratt’s face sending him to his death, full of remorse and sadness, with the one in front of him: utter, complete disbelief.
Grace thinks he'll treasure it forever.or: rocky, grace and simon go to earth instead of erid

Summary
When two people back out of the San Francisco season of Love Is Blind, there's only so much time to find interesting replacements. So they settle on just finding replacements. They can make them seem interesting in editing, right?
Ryland is there as a favor to Colt, who submitted Ryland as a favor to his crush Jody, who wanted to find a replacement for her friend Ava, who has somehow ended up as a producer for the latest season of Love is Blind.
Simon made the mistake of befriending Ava years ago and is regretting it.
