How You Doin'? Good? That is SPECTACULAR :)

Simon *blushing* : ….oh I didn’t know you’ll be that direct

Grace : wh- what ?

*Simon kiss Grace*

*pause*

*kiss more passionately*

Grace : bedroom now

the day later

Project Hail BloodyMary AU

And what if Simon was brought onto the VAT to help solve space navigation issues and ends up falling for the chatterbox blonde scientist that acts as their boss’s lapdog.

Eridians understood gender, in a way. Painstakingly explained to them by Grace. How there was masculinity and femininity, and androgyny. They didn't understand how the first two were often applied forcefully, how the third was perceived negatively. They accepted Grace whether he wore skirts or pants. Their saviour that became their friend.

Grace would not have felt brave enough to wear a dress in front of anyone from Earth, and that's what Simon looked like at first. A terrified Earthling who didn't understand Eridian.

Grace was not delighted at seeing another human, in all honesty. He loved humanity in the way one loved their overbearing parents. From a distance. He felt joy knowing Earth and humanity would live, but had felt a sense of freedom knowing he would never unknowingly break another unspoken social rule and feel people's judgement.

Seeing another human in Erid changed all that. A man looking like the peak of masculinity, with his broad shoulders and bulging biceps, looking at Grace, still slightly thin from years of malnutrition, and wearing a dress. It was the worst way to meet another human in over ten years.

(Simon, on the other hand, is looking at an angel. He's never seen anyone so clean — no dirt or grime anywhere on them. They're wearing a soft, flowing dress in a light shade of green, a colour he had never seen in person.

safe now

context:

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
