Grace actively dying and starving near the end of the journey to Erid, and because his body is shutting and using less energy down he's refusing food. And Rocky has to try to hand feed him while begging him to eat. Grace pushes him away to save Rocky from the grossness and Rocky is like I don't care I just want you alive
ive seen multiple ppl make "grace is now an eridian" aus (which i support) so i thought id take a whack at it

I imagine that, once Simon is a bit more settled and in a better headspace, Grace would probably want to take samples from him to study. Especially if Simon still has physical changes from his experiences in the blood ocean (i.e. the teeth growing out of the side of his face). So he grabs a sample kit, and gently cups Simon's chin while he very carefully swabs him.
And Simon just...freezes. Because Grace is barely even paying attention to him, too focused on making sure he doesn't contaminate anything as he collects the samples, but he's also touching Simon more gently than anyone has ever touched him in his life. Grace is holding his jaw like he's something delicate, something precious. He's also not flinching away or grimacing even though he's currently seeing Simon's more monstrous features up close. Grace is calm and collected, completely focused on what he's doing, like Simon being some sort of creature is no big deal.
It's in that moment that Simon realizes he might be a little bit in love.
#ooooh#yes#it's definitely poor etiquette to treat the only other human(?) being or well only other being he can truly touch like he's a lab specimen#grace belatedly realising that hey maybe that was pushing some bounderies he shouldn't have?#he can't even pretend to start understanding whatever happened to simon#but its very clear the poor man has gone through something highly traumatic and that might have been too much?#even if simon didnt say anything its not like grace gave him any time and simon is the quiet type in the first place#and just grace awkwardly apologizing for taking liberties a short time later#meanwhile simon is wracking his brain trying to find othes excuses for grace to touch him#hearing the apologies and coming to the terrible realisation that grace is about to never touch him ever again#'ITS FINE'#it comes a bit more desperate than he intend to but desperation on him sounds like anger and grace is looking at him dubiously and guiltily#'*coughs* no i mean its fine im fine with you touching me i mean for samples and all'#grace nodding slowly still dubious but something on simon's expression must have make it clear he's being honest#and then later on grace realising he's got another problem because simon said it was fine touching him for samples#but what if grace wants to touch him for other reasons? just like comfort stuff is that not okay?#and then trying to find a casual way to bring this topic again#bloodymary#iron lung#project hail mary
@elletromil i need to peer review you again YOUR MIND !!!
@merrilybloody I hope you don't mind me writing something for your idea ;)

Samples, Science and Stuff
Later, Grace couldn't say what exactly it was they had been talking about, only that at the time, it had seemed to him like the only natural conclusion was for him to take a sample.
He would blame his time spent with only Eridians for company, but if he is being honest, he isn't sure if he wouldn't have ended up doing exactly the same back on Earth if presented with the mind-boggling physical changes Simon had undergone after his exposure to the blood ocean.
He's always been curious after all, so of course he would want to study what could possibly be causing teeth to grow out of cheeks. In all truth, he wants to study everything that is different with Simon, but as Simon has expressed the most distress about the teeth, it just seems logical to start there. See if maybe there is a way to reverse the mutation - if it even is a mutation.
And so, with his sample kit lying open just next to him, Grace reaches for Simon's face, gently cups his chin and slowly turns his head so that he can carefully swabs at the teeth and the slightly gooey matter around them.
He offers Simon a quick smile before letting go and turning to his microscope and slides, conversation already forgotten in the wake of having science to do again. And while there is no denying that it could have important implication for Simon, it is nice to lose himself to something that isn't - as far as he knows - life or death.
He is so engrossed by his observations of the sample that it takes him some time before he realises that Simon hasn't moved at all since he let go of his chin. From anybody else - if there had been anybody else - Grace would probably haven't even notice, but Simon hasn't exactly been completely stable since his rescue.
Nothing dangerous to himself or Grace, but he's had a few panicked episodes that quite frankly, considering everything he's been through, seem like an appropriate if somewhat belated reaction to Grace.
He turns back to Simon, ready to offer him reassurance that he is safe now, but the other man looks bewildered rather than in any great panic.
It's only then that it dawns on Grace that maybe he crossed a line there. It's definitely poor etiquette to treat the only other human being in this part of the universe like a lab specimen, no matter how fascinating his mutations are and that it's only in the hopes of helping him somehow.
Grace winces. He won't claim he's ever been the best at human interactions, but he definitely used to be better than this.
Hell, he hadn't even asked Simon before taking the sample. Or maybe he had, he doesn't really remember, but even if so, he sure didn't gave Simon any time to answer.
It doesn't matter that Simon hadn't protested either because Simon isn't exactly chatty. What Grace calls "conversations" is mostly him speaking at the man and Simon grunting a few words to indicated his continued interest in whatever Grace is talking about. Or at least Grace presume it's interest. Simon is a hard man to read.
"Fuck. Simon, Simon I'm so sorry. I- I shouldn't have done that really. I'm an idiot really, I just want to see if maybe I can help- But that's no excuse. I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have touched you like that, it won't happen ag-"
"It's fine!"
Grace isn't proud of the way he jumps at that, but, in his defence, it's the first time Simon has raised his voice except for when he wakes up screaming from nightmares in the middle of the night.
At least he doesn't sound scared, but Grace isn't sure angry is much better. Not that Simon looks angry, not exactly. There's definitely something a bit wild in his eyes, but Grace can't put a finger on the emotion and after taking such liberties with Simon, he doesn't feel like it's the right time to push for an answer.
He opens his mouth to apologize again, but Simon surprises him by cutting him off a bit more calmly after clearing his throat awkwardly.
"No, I mean, it's fine- I'm fine. With you touching me. I mean, it's fine for samples and science and stuff..." The end of his sentence trails off in a indistinct mumble, but it's still probably the most words Simon has spoken to him since back in the very beginning when he was frantically retelling the horrific experience he had gone through, practically begging Grace to believe him as if his very sanity had depended on it.
For all Grace knows, maybe it had depended on it.
But that is neither here nor there.
While Simon is hard to read, Grace has decided to trust him. So be it about what he experienced or his reassurance that Grace's touch was fine, well Grace will do exactly that. Trust him that he's telling the truth.
It doesn't stop him from feeling bad for taking such liberties anyway, but that's Grace's problem, if Simon has no issue with it, Grace only needs to cope.
So instead of trying to say anything more on the subject, Grace only nods slowly before turning back to the sample.
Except now he has the opposite problem as the one he had before.
Instead of having his focus completely on the sample, he can't stop thinking of what Simon just said. How he doesn't mind Grace touching him - for samples and science and stuff.
Can't stop thinking about why, instead of relief, all he feels is a strange disappointment.
@merrilybloody @patronsaintofdemons here's Simon's POV of the same scene :3
Samples, Science and Stuff - Simon
Later, Simon won't be able to remember what it was that Grace had been explaining to him at the time. Not that this is entirely unusual. While Grace is very good at dumbing down whatever he's talking about so that Simon can easily follow along, sometimes Simon just gets lost and it has nothing to do with Grace.
If anything, Grace's excited ramblings is what usually grounds him back to reality whenever he feels himself start to drown into the memories of the blood ocean.
Grace's voice has become Simon's lifeline, an external proof of his sanity. What he talks about always makes sense or if it doesn't quite, he'll find a way to phrase it until Simon understands.
But more than the words themselves, it's that there is absolutely no doubt as to where they are coming from. Who is saying them.
Grace is right here, close enough that Simon could reach out to him. Close enough to touch.
Not that Simon has ever actually touched him. And it's not even from a fear that this is all a hallucination either. After all, Simon never possessed the imagination necessary that his mind could come up with the Eridians and the planet him and Grace both resided on now. And he sure never ever believed he deserved to be in the presence of a brave kind man like Grace.
Okay. Maybe be that was a lie. Maybe Simon is afraid to reach out only to brush skin against nothing. He's afraid that this his the dream and the nightmares he wakes up screaming from are the reality. Which, considering all he's gone through has to be a rational fear to have.
But more than that, he thinks he's even more terrified to reach out and have the certainty that this, this is real. He's terrified that if he's to reach out to Grace, if he's to touch him, he'll just taint him. Simon isn't a good man, but he's trying to be, damn it. And part of that is to not risk infecting anyone else with whatever remnants of the blood ocean lingers on his skin.
It doesn't matter that it's been weeks now since he was saved by the Eridians. Simon is still irremediably changed. He's got teeth growing of his cheeks for fuck's sake. And that's only the most visible of his mutations.
He doesn't understand how Grace can look at him without recoiling in horror. Simon wouldn't blame him considering that this is his own reaction whenever he catch sight of himself in a reflective surface.
So yeah, Simon can't even begin to think about touching Grace.
It is no wonder then that when Grace suddenly reaches out to him, Simon goes completely still in shock. He barely has the presence of mind to let his head turn, guided by the gentle pressure of Grace's hand on his chin.
At this angle, he can just barely continue to look at Grace.
It's just enough to see that even while he's staring directly at the gruesome teeth, his expression does not shift from intent focus even for a second. Even when he swabs at the slimy goo that perpetually coats his extra teeth, there is not even a fleck of disgust to be found in his eyes.
Far too soon, Grace lets go with a brief smile and turns back to his microscope. Simon could weep at the sudden loss, but thankfully his whole body is still frozen in place. Hell, Simon isn't sure he's still breathing.
Even being out in the sun for the first time holds nothing to what he just happened. Yes, being warmed by sunlight had been awe-inspiring. But being touched by Grace so softly, as if he is something delicate and not some grotesque monstrosity…
The thought comes unbidden in his mind that this, this is what a religious experience must be. He's quick to dismiss it however because, somehow, the word isn't strong enough to describe the powerful emotions roiling in his chest.
He's unsure how long he stays there, staring at the other man's back, wracking his brain to come up with another reason for Grace to touch him.
Before he can do so, Grace turns back to him and something clenches in Simon's chest painfully when now his expression crumbles into something distressed, convince he's done something bad. Again.
“Fuck. Simon, Simon I’m so sorry. I- I shouldn’t have done that really. I’m an idiot really, I just want to see if maybe I can help- But that’s no excuse. I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have touched you like that, it won’t happen ag-”
It takes a moment, but as soon as understanding dawns on Simon that this is Grace apologizing to him, he panics.
“It’s fine!”
Grace visibly jumps and Simon winces, already regretting raising his voice in his desperation. That's no way to convince Grace to repeat his actions again. He'll be lucky if Grace wants to stay in the same room as him from now on.
He clears his throat awkwardly, struggling to recover a modicum of calm before he can make things worse. He forces himself to speak again, ignore his impulse to flee. That won't fix anything.
“No, I mean, it’s fine- I’m fine. With you touching me. I mean, it’s fine for samples and science and stuff…” He trails off in a mumble and keeps his gaze even with Grace's. Silently, he wills Grace to please believe him.
He's not sure what he'll do if he's ruined forever the easy companionship that had started to settle around them in the past weeks.
There is still something uncertain in Grace's eyes, but in the end, he nods slowly. For a moment, it even looks like he'll say something, but instead he only presses his lips together in a pale imitation of his usual smiles, before turning back to his work.
And still, Simon stays rooted in his spot, desperately wanting to yell again, even as he reminds himself that Grace is kind man. A brave man.
Surely, even after this outburst, Grace will muster the courage to reach out for Simon again.
If not, Simon can't say what effect this powerful longing for touch will have on his sanity in the long run.
As if he didn't have enough fears to struggle with.
i bet the world was told the tale of how ryland grace heroically stepped up and sacrificed himself as the science specialist after the explosion. i bet his students were told that their teacher bravely chose to die to save them, all of them. ryland grace, the savior of earth.
no one will ever know he was dragged kicking and screaming. no one will ever see the cctv footage of him running, screaming, begging for his life.
the story they will be told of ryland grace, the savior of the universe, will be a bold faced lie.
and no one will know he did willingly sacrifice himself to save rocky.
no one will know he could have come home. no one will know he finally found his purpose amongst the stars.
God just. Imagine being Ryland Grace. Imagine it being decided for you that the best and only worthwhile thing you can do with your life is die. Imagine wanting to live so badly just for the sake of being alive. Imagine having your life and agency torn away from you bit by bit until you literally don’t know who you are anymore. Imagine your worst sin is that you were scared. And then imagine someone comes along and says you get to live. They’d be the first person I’d be willing to die for too.
Book Rocky: okay so I thought of this really cool design for a ball I could move around in so I wouldn't die in your atmosphere bc I reaaally want to see your ship, but I wouldn't want to impose. Would it be OK if I took a look around, question?
Book Grace: OF COURSE!!! I want to show you human technology! Lemme just go tide up real fast.
Film Grace: what the fuck are you doing in a ball
Film Rocky: didn't you hear?? We're roomies now. Why do you live in a dumpster, question?
Film Grace: you can't just say "we're roomies now"
Film Rocky: *holding up a sign that says "I CAN DO WHAT I WANT, STATEMENT"* sounds like a you problem. Let's make me a room I'm not going to live in this fucking mess

I would love to see a bloodymary fic from the pov of the Eridians
Like, there's this wierd squishy alien that doesn't speak a lick of your language, but saved your planet because he became friends with one of your people, said Eridian being the dude that got send to space with two others that you geniuinely thought were dead for some time
Said alien doesn't really want to come back to his own planet which is kind of concerning once you think about it but hey, you're more than happy to house him on your planet it's the least you can do after what he did for your entire kind
The alien, which you find out it's species is called a human and that his name is Grace, decides to teach your children about the planet he comes from, which is nice it's good that the kids are learning about different cultures
From Grace you find out that humans are actually very social creatures and need physical touch (the thing nobody on Erid can provide him) to thrive and you're getting a bit worried like, is he gonna die or something? Grace assures you that he's gonna be fine with just company but he does look very sad very often
At some point you find this odd moon with an ocean filled with some red, thick liquid and you find a machine at the bottom which is very wierd
But in the machine there's another human! Well mostly a human, without an arm and radiated to max but a human! And he's all alone on the weird moon!
You take the human out the machine, fix him up as much as you can and bring him to Grace, now he can have a friend! (Hopefully, you're not entire sure how the new human will react to Grace but you're willing to take the odds)
The new human, that goes by the name Simon, seems to be adjusting somewhat alright. Although the only way you can describe him is a sad, wet cat as humans would call it (even tho you have no idea what a cat is)
And you're pretty curious about how Grace's and Simon's relationship will develop, will they stay friends? Become mates? A secret third thing?
Your entire neighbourhood is placing bets
