I see so much of Simon being the vaguely unsettling one in the relationship and I love it and I support it but may I raise you; Grace is NOT normal about Simon in the SLIGHTEST.
Whenever he thinks Simon isn't watching, Grace is there.
Doing some gardening? Grace is watching. Learning how to mend clothes creatively? Watching. Learning how to fix little things around the Hail Mary? Watching. Sleeping? WATCHING. Always while half working on his own stuff of course, he has things to do and he also needs a reasonable excuse for 'nono I'm busy here I don't know what you're talking about'.
Documenting his eating habits and his mutations and his injuries healing and at first it's just a good thing to keep track of but it eventually becomes a source of comfort to review all the pages and remember that Simon is HERE despite EVERYTHING.
And Grace KNOWS that this is kind of creepy he just can't really bring himself to CARE anymore. A solid 75% of his social rules have been broken apart by hanging out with an alien rock spider for 4 years he's not above a little indulgence in the presence of another human. And it's not like Rocky knows this isn't normal. Honestly Rocky is just happy to see his favorite human interacting with another human.
This is the first and ONLY human he has had contact with in YEARS. He is just a little obsessed. And it's just a little concerning. He gets better about it after they're on Erid (Simon's not leaving a planet. No way would he ever. Simon's staying. Statement.)
Just. Grace being as afraid of Simon disappearing as Simon is afraid of Grace disappearing. They cling to each other like feral animals.
hoooo buddy this one is a three-fer. i couldn't fit everything i wanted on the dual pages and adding a whole other double page felt like a lot, ergo: 3 of them
I think this is Simon's first genuine smile in my fic. He gets to be excited, as a treat. Pilot Simon!
(Wip for my tenth chapter)
āI could give it a go,ā Simon offered.
Ryland straightened and blinked. The frustration etched onto his expression loosened in his surprise.Ā Ā
Slowly Ryland turned to look at him. āYouā¦ could? You know how to pilot?ā
Simon scoffed a little bit. āOf course I know how to pilot. I was a soldier in fucking space. Itād be pretty useless to-ā
āYou were a soldier.ā
Simon froze. Did he not mention that? Shit. Information was slowly bleeding out of him, and regardless of the debt he owed, Simon was having a hard time not panicking at the valuable resource he was steadily sharing. Simon had wanted to keep his violence tightly contained, his crimes hidden from the crew. He tensed, hoping they wouldnāt connect the role with the word Butcher, that they wouldnāt think too hard about what Simon had to do as a soldier or what war he was fighting.Ā
Information was the only thing he had to vouch for his survival.
If he proved to be useless, they wouldnāt keep him. If he didnāt help with the mission, they could let the Eridians take him to their planet. Ryland trusted them, but Simon knew that they wouldnāt just let him live on Erid in peace, not without the Savior of their world protecting him. Simon hated needing protection, but he wasnāt stupid enough to think he had any power over this situation. He was at the complete mercy of Ryland and the Eridians, and if he wasnāt good, then he needed to be useful. Simon was trying to be both, but the well of useful information heād gathered was slowly drying up.
But if he had a role, if he could do something, then Simon would feel more secure in his place here. He just had to earn it.Ā Ā
Simon swallowed. ā...I piloted smaller flighters. Nowhere near as fancy as this, but I was good at what I did. Iāve been watching how you do it. I think I can do it with one arm, if you take notes. Weā¦ could switch.ā
āIā¦ dunno,ā Ryland exhaled. āItās pretty tricky to fly this thing. It took me a long time to figure out.ā
āIāve flown in space before, and I didnāt need any fancy shit to do it either,ā Simon huffed and then took a steadying breath, āLook- youāre tired, no point in arguing it- Iām bored out of my mind and I know how to do this. Letās switch. I know we move it 100 clicks out, then you gotta redo the search grid before we do this all over again. 360 turn, stop, angle it up 5 degrees, 18 planes- Iāve been paying attention.ā
āI didnāt think you hadnāt,ā Ryland protested. āItās easier to watch than do.ā
āIf I suck, I wonāt ask again,ā Simon said. āI know you have no reason to trust m-ā
āItās not that!ā Ryland said, āI just-ā
He looked over at Rocky and Adrian and stopped. He let out a long sigh and raised his eyebrows at them.
āIt is Graceās ship. Rocky cannot decide.ā
āAdrian wants to see Simon fly ship,ā Adrian said. Thatās why they were his favorite. Simon gestured to them and then gave an expectant look to Ryland.Ā
āSo?ā Simon prompted, unable to keep the hope from fluttering in his chest.Ā
āAlright,ā Ryland sighed. āIt's hard to get the hang of, so if it doesn't work out, itās okay. Thereās nothing wrong with being a note taker-ā
Simon grinned and unbuckled his seatbelt. He drifted in zero gravity, angling toward Rylandās seat. Much more reluctantly Ryland started to unbuckle, and Simon clasped his shoulder amicably. āYou wonāt regret this.ā
Ryland jolted at the touch at the same time he released the claps on his seatbelt, wobbling a bit like he had forgotten how to move in zero gravity.Ā
āRight! Uh, yeah, I mean, no, sure, give it go!ā Ryland stumbled. āHopefully the flighters you piloted have comparable mechanisms-ā
Simon tuned him out. He was thrumming with excitement as they switched places. The throttle was warm and sweaty, but Simon didnāt care. It was smooth and sleek and new. It was the nicest cockpit heād ever been inside, nowhere near the rust buckets Eden and COI had. He couldnāt contain the smile twitching at his lips as he took a steadying breath to calm his nerves. Donāt screw this up.

EXTREMELY important tags. Please can we have some more un-tropified Grace and Simon. It is easy and fun to write I know. BUT LOOK AT THEM. The reason we love them is how similar they are!!!!!
"simon would definitely beat grace in a fight no question" is taken for granted in a lot of fics and i don't want it to be!!! yes whatever simon is physically bigger and more superficially muscular, but grace is
taller, higher center of gravity
also pretty fucking muscular (no it was not just the ship, NMES devices MAINTAIN muscle they don't build it)
prone to explosive anger
fucking scrappy, doesn't fight fair (the chase scene)
FAST (how fucking far he got in the chase scene. which makes sense because he does cardio literally every day)
not to mention if you believe in coltlandgentry propaganda do you seriously think court wouldn't make damn sure his baby brothers could protect themselves. do you think colt wouldn't teach his notoriously clumsy twin how to take the least amount of damage from a fall or a hit.
like... let him get the upper hand. let him win, even. typical fanfic scene with simon attacking grace when he first wakes up on the ship, but grace locks in and triggers muscle memory he maybe didn't even know he had, gets simon pinned or in some kind of secure hold. "ohhh-kay. hey there. sorry, that's my bad for startling you. my name's grace..."
This version of the transcript was handwritten and edited by myself over a week after being tasked by Markiplier's deaf community. It took twelve hours and many cups of coffee. This is not the transcript from Fandom Wiki. It is from-scratch.
This is NOT the official transcript, either. Please do not get that confused. I spent many hours slowing down audio to interpret tones due to the involvement of requested tone tags. It's eons better than what we had previously, but it will never be truly correct due to the nature of it being unofficial, even though I tried my absolute best. This is meant as a free writer's resource and does not accrue any revenue.
This version includes:
Tone tags for nearly all lines.
Italic stressors for easier tone interpretation.
Sound effects, music indication and descriptions, and basic contextual movement beats.
Indication of slurring, stuttering, muttering, etc. that was not previously included on the YouTube closed captioning (I literally counted every single stutter for accuracy.)
Extra dialogue from whispering voices that were audio enhanced and then interpreted (best I possibly could.)
Access to open annotation and commenting.
I hope this helps the community out! It was a labor of love.

More socky and their āsecret third thingā of a relationship.
Would you hate me if I said I love them together sm? Idk how to explain it. But the idea of Simon being able to, for once, just be non-serious and have fun with someone. Freely be a dork without feeling judged. Ugh it warms my heart. It also helps him build the courage to properly meet Grace. (Since this is technically related to my last post) Also if youāre wondering how heās able to hold Rocky, not only do I imagine he has a strength buff because of his mutations, but his xenonite arm does a lot of the heavy lifting. And as you could tell, once heās on Erid he gets surgery to remove his teeth ingrowns.
My favorite idea for them is that they love to watch a bunch of movies together, which results in them randomly singing/dancing. Simon also gets a kick out of yapping abt anything heās watched alone. Iām lowkey torn between if he would be okay with irl acted films or would still need a lot of time. He definitely couldnāt watch them immediately, but I love to picture he starts becoming one of those āhe just like meā people after every film. (Aka all of us -yes- US) I think them being on a screen and being actors makes it easy for him to disconnect from his fear. And if he gets too stressed out he can just turn it off. If you were wondering, he definitely has a preference for feel-good movies. He absolutely despises horror films and needs like a full week recovery if he watches something sad.
Also as to why heās specifically watching an action movie in the doodle is perhaps because I had a silly coltland twins idea in mind

The Light as an enemy in Iron Lung is just. So good. It illuminates and it blinds. The Light consumes and in doing so Light is consumed. The flame that eats other flames until it's all that's left. That's some good shit man.
simon whos desperate for anyone to talk to but feels awkward helping other people vs grace who loves lending an ear to other people but would sooner tape a nail to the wall and kick it than talk abt his feelings to another human being
