BloodyMary (Simon/Grace) Fic where Grace is a godling sent to earth to find his purpose, and he falls hard in love with everything. When it comes time to leave, to return to the heavens, he tells the other gods no. They tell him he will be locked out, without their protection. No one will pray to him ever again on this earth, and he will die a human. Grace believes he is okay with this and chooses to stay, but somehow keeps part of his powers.
Project Hail Mary is ago, and Grace panics because he is actually going to die. Mortality is a bitch, and he doesnt even get to die on the planet he loves.
Meets rocky, rocky susses him out immediately.
"You say human, question?"
"Lie. Grace lie. Why heartbeat wrong then, why Grace lie question?"
"... because if you want something hard enough its sure to come true."
Cut to Tau Ceti, they retrieve the sample but Grace is crushed and placed into a comatosed state. Rocky recovers before him, watches as he sleeps. In his sleep, however, Grace hears a prayer. It should be impossible but-
"Please, I just wanna live. Is that too much to ask for?"
It's an echo of his very own soul, and without meaning to, Grace reaches for the whispering soul and drags it closer through time and space, holds it close to his chest and breaths life into it's very being.
Rocky is very surprised to check on Grace one day and see... new human. But this does confirm his suspicions about Grace NOT being human.
New Human wakes up before Grace as well, panics, before seeing Grace and calming down, claiming He must be dead because Grace is a god his cult would pray to. Eden did a lot of bad but it gave him this one last peace...
Rocky tells Simon Grace not god, Grace leaky Space blob. Simon can't understand him, but lays in reverence at Grace's side and together they watch Grace sleep.
Grace wakes up, sees Simon, and is very confused because wtf new human how tf???
Blah blah blah Grace was born in Eden, when man committed the first sin and God chose to love his children regardless, to give them Grace. The other gods could stop Grace from receiving worship in this universe, but they never expected the pleas of one scared man in another to reach sleeping, compassionate ears.
Anyways your honor I love them.
