I think this ship (spaceship) is really funny

☆~☆

Pages 1-3

Rocky teaches Grace to properly drive the Hail Mary after they settle back on Erid. The ship may be ready to go home, but Ryland isn't taking up that offer. But he does want to learn more about the Eridian solar system.

YEP. IM IN ON IT TOO.

GREAT MOVIE.

Summary:

I present to you: a shamelessly fluffy bloodymary teacher au, because that’s what I’m a sucker for and I write nothing but for my own selfish reasons >:3

When Eva Stratt, the Principal of the underfunded and understaffed Grover Cleveland High School, runs into her old friend Simon Butcher, a down-on-his-luck ex-con, she takes it upon herself to hire him, entrusting his training to Head of Sciences, Ryland Grace. She didn’t quite realise how well the two would get along.

Meanwhile, the starvation and loss of muscle mass means Grace is even more susceptible to Erid's intense gravity. By the time they meet, Grace is already using a wheelchair to move around.

Simon's there four years before Grace's body gives up. The Eridians have no choice but to place him in stasis until they find a solution.

Simon's life the last four years has been a beautiful dream. For the first time in a long time, he's safe. He has people — well, one person and multiple aliens — who care about him. They find him funny! They seek out his company!

There's always food. When Grace finds out he's not from Earth and has never had cake or spaghetti or french fries, Grace moves heaven and Erid to make those foods for him. Simon cries the first time he tastes strawberry shortcake.

Simon gets to see trees and plants and can pick fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse.

On his dark days, though, he feels undeserving. Grace and the Eridians have given him everything, and he can give them nothing in return.

He can fix things, but he's no engineer. He's not able to teach the Eridians science they haven't discovered and change their society. He's just a freeloader.

But then Grace is put in stasis, and Adrian wonders aloud why it is that Simon isn't impacted by Erid's gravity. They ask for a sample of his blood, and Simon doesn't hesitate — he'll bleed himself dry to see Grace smile again.

And they discover a lot of things. How Simon was made less human by The Blood Ocean, but how it's this terrible thing that happened to him that will save Grace, that will allow him to thrive in Erid the way Simon has.

He's been treated less than human his whole life, and then he finds a place where he's respected and valued, and it's there that he finds that he's now the Less Than Human he's always been treated as.

Mr Grace is always pretty lonely and sometimes the kids try to set him up with the other teachers ("Did you see how pretty Ms. Rockow looked today?" "Y'know, I think you'd get along well with Ms. Gillespie." Etc etc), and he always brushes them off. But at the start of this school year he started seeming kind of... Dazed. Off in his own world during study time. Granted- he'd always been like that but the students started noticing it more often. And then- the lunches start. Mr. Grace is known for his prepackaged meals and cheap snacks- which he would sometimes share with his kids, much to their delight. So imagine the kids' surprise when a glass container filled with a home cooked meal hits his desk.
