    Summary

    Dr R Grace, Curator of Natural History is about to have his big moment. The Natural History galleries at the flagship museum he works for are being refurbished. Finally, his vision is going to come alive. But does he have the confidence to push for his ideas, or will his natural shyness prevent his dream from becoming reality?

    Simon Gardiner is the gruff Assistant Manager of the Display Team. He’s responsible for helping Grace’s vision become reality. He doesn’t have time or bothered for relationships. But he does agree to a blind date… which he cancels. Simon has a past, one he’d rather forget. Will it catch up with him? (Of course it does)

    Will they manage to have a professional working relationship, or will their proximity lead to something more?

    Well, my hobby is writing smut with a story so…

     

    For all of the meddlesome Mary’s and demented Dimitri’s of the museum world.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace hates Simon Fisher. He hates that Simon's so loved by everyone, so easy to get under his skin, so stupidly attractive. When they get paired up for a summer project he has to at least try and be cordial. But god does Simon make it so hard, especially when Simon's being a brat.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Most belligerent sexual tension I have ever read. It's like the Ruby Roman grape of "attempted hatesex turns out to just be a really kinky first time."

    Summary

    Footsteps and shuffling outside the door break Grace out of the uneasy doze he’d fallen into after being shoved into the cell. If he’d known he was going to be detained, he never would have steered the Hail Mary toward the mysterious cobbled-together-looking station hanging in loose orbit above the tiny dark planet.

    Blinking to bring himself to full alertness, he stares dully forward as bodies approach. He knows by now that he can't understand these people. What's the point in saying anything?

    “Hey,” a voice says, low and rough. It’s a new voice, different from the ones who chased him down and threw him in a cell. Grace ignores it. So they're mimicking him now? Great.

    The new person clears their throat, then coughs like it was painful. He hears them muttering something, and a more familiar voice – one of the guards – growls back. Grace listens with everything he has, tuning all the xenolinguistic skills he's learned working with Rocky into the problem, and he still can't tell what the heck they're saying.

    “Hey,” the new voice says again. “Ai, uh...ai herdjer talkin' oldstyle.”

    “...What?” Grace tumbles to his feet and stumbles forward. “What did you say?”

    Summary

    All Simon ever wanted was to live a normal life. He accepted years ago in prison that he would die there. At least he got to live. Besides the occasional new inmates trying to pick a fight with him, it was decent.

    But when a mysterious woman named Dr. Ava offers him a chance at freedom, he takes it. All he has to do is poke and prod at some alien sample from a distant moon. It sounded easy enough.

    Now he was on SHIELD's most wanted list. Every agent in the city was looking for him. That included the cities resident Star-Spider, who definitely wasn't told what Simon looked like under all the alien goo.

    ---

    A Simon centric story about how he met Ellie, the symbiote, and accidently became a vigilante while on the run from SHIELD.

    Original idea came from the Star-Spider AU created by kyri45 on Tumblr.

    Summary

    Ava steps into the room as the COI officers spin him back around. In her hands are two things: a cuff and a muzzle.

    “No,” Simon whispers again. There is nowhere to go and yet he still sways backwards.

    “Yes, Convict.”
