#dj grace

Simon with all his mutations feeling he isnt Human Enough to be loved by someone as amazing as Grace, or Simon feeling like that cauee he grew up a bad person in a bad place he has no way of deserving to be with Grace cause hes a monster.

OOORRR

Grace who feels he isnt Human Enough as in hes too weird, too different, gets overwhelmed and was always bad at socialising, hes a person who doesnt want romance, a person who doesnt like sex, and that means hes broken, that he isnt Human, and Simon whos been through so much deserves someone who can give him a real relationship.

OR

I especially like the lyrics

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?

Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it

...

Have you ever looked fear in the face

And said I just don't care?

Simon coded, then

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?

Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

Now I gotta talk about this one for a sec because it feels very 'already living on Erid and Simon has recovered and now theyre pinning' like this is the fanfic where simon and grace have been hanging out for a while and are now slow burning their way towards kissing on the sandy beach with the sun setting in the background.

Its pretty self explanatory, I had a lot of fun with this one

So the way the formatting works is imagine the character is saying what's in their colour with characterised/personalised explanations beside some of them

Simon || Both || Grace

Rocky

You're so hypnotizing

Could you be the devil?

Could you be an angel?

Your touch, magnetizing

Feels like I am floating <Zero g - funny>!

Leaves my body glowing

They say, be afraid

You're not like the others <not like other humans theyve met or last interacted with>

Futuristic lover

Different DNA <simon is insecure about this>

They don't understand you

You're from a whole 'nother world

A different dimension <shock curiosity>

You open my eyes

And I'm ready to go

Lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me

Infect me with your lovin'

Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me

Wanna be your victim

Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien <simon talking about rocky for the first time think meme style>

Your touch, so foreign <grace being touched starved>

It's supernatural <still talking about rocky>

Extraterrestrial <correcting simon>

You're so supersonic

Wanna feel your powers <grace is freaky>

Stun me with your laser

Your kiss is cosmic

Every move is magic

You're from a whole 'nother world

A different dimension

You open my eyes

And I'm ready to go

Lead me into the light

Kissmeki-ki-kissmeInfectmewithyourlovin'FillmewithyourpoisonTakemeta-ta-takemeWannabeyourvictimReadyforabduction

Boy, you're an alien <talking about simon this time>

Your touch, so foreign

It's supernatural

Extraterrestrial

This is transcendental

On another level

Boy, you're my lucky star

I wanna walk on your wavelength <Petrova frequency>

And be there when you vibrate

For you, I'll risk it all, all

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss meInfect me with your lovin'Fill me with your poisonTake me, ta-ta-take meWanna be your victimReady for abduction

Boy, you're an alien <rocky now>

Your touch, so foreign <"I hate mark">

It's supernatural

Extraterrestrial

Extraterrestrial

Extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien

Your touch, so foreign

It's supernatural

Lyrics will be colour coded to who I feel are related to the most.

Simon | Rocky | Grace | Both

Take your eyes off of me so I can leave

I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me

This is never ending, we have been here before

But I can't stay this time, 'cause I don't love you anymore <he feels like he doesn't deserve Grace's love>

Please, stay where you are

Don't come any closer

Don't try to change my mind

I'm being cruel to be kind

I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Baby, we're already defeated

Ay-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everything changed me

You have given me something that I can't live without

You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt

But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine

The longer we ignore it, all the more that we will fight

Please, don't fall apart

I can't face your breaking heart

I'm trying to be brave

Stop asking me to stay

I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Baby, we're already defeated

Ay-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everything changed me

We're not the only ones, I don't regret a thing

Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean

It is the world to me that you are in my life

But I want to live and not just survive

That's why I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Baby, we're already defeated

'Cause, ay-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everything changed me

Lyrics that are very Simon coded:

It's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face

It's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place

And when I sleep on your couch I feel very safe

And when you bring the blankets I cover up my face

I think of Simon with those lyrics, hes in shock that someone so kind exists, and that for once in his life he can actually sleep somewhere that is truely warm and safe.

These lyrics are very Grace coded:

And when you play guitar I listen to the strings buzz

The metal vibrates underneath your fingers

And when you crochet I feel mesmerized and proud

Grace watching Simon play with Xenonite, or like actually playing an instrument, something about watching another human do such normal human things rather than hunting and murdering their own (Tips hat to Stratt).

Very bloodymary lyrics:

And I would say I love you, but saying it out loud

It's hard so I won't say it at all

Grace being the person that he is might struggle with admiting or identifying love, or platonic love.

Whether that be Internalised homophobia despite most definitely being woke, or an aroace identity that makes him crave a relationship that isnt romantic but still more than friends.

The same goes for Simon he might reject the idea of romance with a man entirely due to his time in the cult. Something along the lines of this from the COI or Eden:

-Being in love with a man doesnt benifit anyone in Eden. We dont have time for something as stupid romance when we are literally dying out.- like marrage is only for those who will have kids who are healthy.-

Omg this is such a good song. All their music is actually. Let me *rubs the Strattland braincells together*

Its strattland because its Stratt loving, caring, believing in Grace so much that she has to send him off.

Deny you ever said so

And know the one is never on his own

I might go mad son

But one day so might you and we can weep

Grace isnt on his own she knows this she sent him up there with two others, and even after they died, Grace still wasnt alone because he found Rocky. In the end, he wasnt alone, and althought she would be imprisoned, he was too, stuck on a ship to his death, it doesnt get more prison than that.

One life to trade away

No use in keeping much I say

Your heart is not mine to weigh

And I'll have words with fate

This earth is burned but I'll sing rain.

Its not stratt wanting to send him off, she silently hoped that would never happen, but unless they want everyone to die, he has to be the one to go.

Its billions of people, hundreds of billions of unlived lives that were on the line. His side of the scale never even left the ground even with her hand upon it.

Grace is strong, she tells him this, sending him off wasnt an act of betrayal but an act of belief, of hope, of love, and of prayer.

She knew that he could do it, she never lost hope. Grace even after waking up alone could do it. He did do it, she knew he could make her proud. And that he did.

Grace was Earth's champion, Stratts champion.
