screaming with probably joy

Maybe like Claire— Six is sent to protect Fitzroys sister after it gets out who she’s attached to; accept it’s like a half a year of protection and things happen— I wouldn’t say Six loved her but he would have probably remembered her as a friend maybe as some who treated him like he was a person and he’d be genuinely sad when he learns she dies. I think probably the same for her— Six was a guy she had sex with in a stressful situation he was kind and respectful and it was just once; but then oops. Baby.

But, if you want to get into the sticky morality of it all— I mean technically while he is physically stronger then Fitz sister, her brother quite literally owns him; so theres definitely a power imbalance aspect you could bring in. Could Court have said no? And I mean this is only a few years into his life as a Sierra would he have said no anyways?

That aside.

Also I think Fitzroy would genuinely consider retiring Six. He broke protocol so bad he slept with his handlers sister. Like that’s not a slip you let slide that’s massive and definitely puts his allegiances and loyalty into question. Maybe he just keeps Six off of long term infiltration from then on because obviously he has a problem when it comes to emotional attachment.

sickening… hashtag when you autisticallt infodump and then your boywhatever the fuck is so overcome w/ adoration for you he HAS to interrupt you to do something gay. tch…

Rocky: I am Grace and Grace brothers' mother now statement.

Court: ....Thanks, Rock.

Colt: Aw~

Simon being on stream and getting a call from Grace. He holds stream and takes it, chat hears "...what? Hold on," the screen changes to the ending stream card, "Ry? Ry! What do you mean they...." as the audio fades out and Simon has obviously left the room. No one knows what happened, stream ends and Simonsays goes radio silent for a long while.

Simon, meanwhile, is rushing through traffic to the place Ryland is. He confronts Eva on why he got a call that his HUSBAND was being sent into space to die, with the excuse that "he doesn't even have a dog" so nothing is waiting for him on earth.

They kept their relationship very private. Eva is taken aback by who she thought was Ryland's roomate fighting for his life rn. But she has a mission. She offers to let him see Dr. Grace, and that's it.

Grace tries to run. They drug him, and Simon hears talk of using his now-present husband as leverage to make sure he doesn't get far. Simon makes a choice.

One thing he has never told Ryland is his early obsession with the stars. Yadda, yadda, my idea is that he did astronaut training when he was young and so he knows he's coma resistant and how to fo stuff- he tells Eva that if Ryland is going into space, so is he.

Cue Grace waking up on Mary with two dead bodies and one still asleep. Freaking out cause he doesn't remember anything, and then freaking out more when he realises that the still asleep person has the same last name as him, a similar wedding ring to his, and a picture of their wedding in his bag.

Rocky and Grace bond over the question of "how I'd Grace mate doing?" Cause he'll if Grace knows! He doesn't even remember him!

Simon wakes up when Grace is rushing to save Rocky from the teomeba leak.

Also the idea of what happens after time go fishing and now Rocky has to watch over two humans instead of one 😭

Simon waking up and Grace hearing “eye movement detected.” And rushing into the medical bay where the human who shared his last name is freaking the fuck out about the robot but as soon as he sees Grace is like “you’re safe- oh god you’re safe-“ because I hc Stratt didn’t give Simon the amnesia like she did with Grace.

So Grace is like “why can’t I remember you? I’m married to you but I can’t-“

Simon feels absolutely heartbroken but doesn’t have time as Grace explains really quickly what has been happening whilst Simon was still in a coma so now Rocky is in for a surprise when he sees the human who was in a coma is finally awake! New friend for Rocky!

"New human! New human! Leaky blob like Grace, question?"

"... Angel, wtf is that thing?"

"What that word mean, question?"

Simon being sure to fill gaps in Grace's memory.

The BIGGEST moment in my mind is the moment Grace remembers he was forced on the mission. He's hidden behind a counter and hyperventilating and just hears "Angel?"

Simon will always reassure Grace that he wasn’t a coward!

I imagine Grace one night whilst watching Rocky sleep, he asks “can you….can you tell me how we met? I’m starting to slowly remember but I want to hear it from you.”

Simon telling him softly and grace rests his head on Simon’s shoulder and Simon telling him “you should go to sleep, sunlight. I’ve done enough sleeping for the three of us.”

And he puts the quilt around his shoulders and Grace blushes and shyly cuddles closer to him and whispers “are you sure, moonlight?”

Simon smiles softly “yeah. I’m sure.” He kisses his forehead and smiles softly “you remembered the pet name you gave me.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. You gave it to me because one night, we went for a walk and you said I-“

And this I without even going into how earth would deal with all of this! Simon's chat, editors, mods, online friends and the like. All seeing Simonsays go into space out of nowhere.

Stratt going on trial and Simon's streams and voice-mail are used as evidence. Simon had half a mind to record the call Grace told him they're sending him by force. Eva never gets respect back from the public, even more than in canon, because she told a loved man he was expendable.

Simon and Grace send the beetles back and Simonsays uploads one more video. "Simonsays goodbye." It's a video Simon recorded on the Mary, specifically asking it to be put online. It's 45 minutes of jokes and memories that rivals technoblede's death announcement. He says that he's going to erid with papa star and that he hopes him and the audience look at their suns and are looking at each other.

(Also you saying it rivals technoblade’s death announcement I can’t- I never watched him but I saw his video and sobbed like I did know him.)

“Send me.” 

Stratt doesn't even dignify it with a response, which would make Simon angry, if he didn’t know he was one of the most pathetic people on this planet. Willing to beg and cheat and steal to get his way. Not in all things. But for this, he’ll do anything.”

“Carl told me you’re starting another mission,” It had been a year and a half since the Mary’s launch. And like hell would he let the opportunity pass. “I know you’re sending a back up team. I want on it.” 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about-” “You can send me up as a pilot- I’ll take every fucking enginerring class you need me to take and I won’t sleep a wink- I swear-”

Stratt needs to have a restriction on what Carl can see. Or maybe send him out with a partner to watch what he says. But she knows he’d tell no one else these things. Probably only let the information slip as a guilty conscience trying to do some good.

“I’ll go up as a fucking experiment for christ sake just let me go-”

“You won’t find him,” Stratt says firmly, looking up from her computer with a blanket expression. “You’ll be two years behind him. Won’t even make it to starve in each other's arms. Do you think he’d want that-”

“Oh. Hilarious. Now you care what he wants?” 

It doesn’t hurt because nothing hurts. Not when you’re the one to pin everything on if the world's secrets come crumbling down around you. 

“I want this.” 

“You want to go to space,” 

No. Simon hates space. He hates it as much as he hates the ocean or the sea. But he’s not gonna say that. Because he hates being lightyears away from his husband more. And he’s scared. He’s a coward. He’s a coward because he doesn’t think he can live much longer with Ryland anyway.

“Space is.. Cool.” 

“Convincing.” Stratt tuts looking back to her screen, feeling like a dismissal.

But he won’t be dismissed.

“I die down here with the rest of you, or I live long enough to ensure the planet is safe,” Simon says slowly. “Who knows if he….. If he’ll even make it. You’re sending a back up for a reason.”

Stratt really needs to stop growing a conscience, because it’s giving men like this the opportunity to do stupid things.

“Our scientist is the leading mind in astrophage right now-” “On earth-”

“Our engineer has been with us for over a decade,” She says, resting her hands over her stomach, staring Simon dead on.

“Our Pilot is… Qualified enough…” She says slowly, noting the breath he takes in. Painful hope that will suffocate him in the starvation and endless expanse of space.

“You have six months. If you can reach higher marks on the exams and tests than he did, we’ll send you in place.”

Omg now a third hot new bombshell has entered the SimonSays universe-

Anon this was delicious I had to grab a plate and devour it!

Simon goes to space. He gets slightly blown off course, and ends up... near the blood moon. Or something close to it.

I'm imagining something like 'alien'. Somehow the eel is affecting the spaceship that Simon is on, and everyone starts going crazy.

Halucinations about Simon getting to Grace, and Grace either:

Being dead, cold and pale with Simon being helpless to save him

Being told about Simon's past in the cult and being disgusted by him. Not wanting anything to do with him, being glad that he was shipped off to space if just so that he's away from him now.

Being scared, alone, and a broken shell of himself. Simon knows he had amnestics and gets images of him crying on the floor with the "who am i?" Board covered in scribbled out jargon.

Simon does not like the eel. No amount of visions is going to get him to land on that fucking moon.
