    Summary

    Simon can't stand to watch the way Grace cares for himself, or more actually, DOESN'T care for himself. When the other has gone multiple days without resting, the former convict decides to take matters into his own hands, err, well, hand. With Adrian's help, he's able to partner with the Eridian chemists to formulate sleeping pills that will allow Grace to slow down and sleep through the night. Getting the teacher to agree to this plan is another hurdle entirely.

    Grace agreeing to Simon's schemes is surprising, the former convict not expecting to be gifted with the blonde's trust, but not nearly as surprising as how hot and bothered they both get as the teacher succumbs to his drugged state. An embarrassing conversation the next morning opens a door that Simon never expected to even exist; being offered the permission to secretly drug Grace with the Eridian pills and take advantage of him in any way he desired.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace thought he had made peace with never seeing another human being again. Until he does.
    Unfortunately, the other human appears to be actively dying.
    Fortunately, Grace has a history of terrible plans working out.

    Short summary: This fic is all about Simon and Grace falling in love (GASP Who would have thought?!) in a really corny way and being happy ever after on Erid. The end. Also, Rocky is there.
    I´ve read the PHM book and watched both movies, plus read a lot about the videogame´s lore. Still I choose to completely ignore some canon details for the sake of . ݁₊ ⊹ love. ݁˖ . ݁

    Btw, Happy Pride Month everybody! ✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨

    Summary

    “Hey Simon?”
    The voice is soft spoken, barely a whisper over the sound of seagulls calling and waves crashing over the rocky shore. Ryland cranes his head down to gaze at the man dozing in his lap.
    “Do you remember the first time we met?”

    Or

    Recounting how the two of them met, and every terrible situation that lead up to it.

    I also have been religiously listening to the same playlist on loop while writing this. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3C1peR55B9333zSQxPMgCD?si=ceATL7YTQSqeZfFRkVQzkQ&pi=3Hh4HD2-Rci5L
    Chapter 5 is in the works this very second. Should be up on the 16th at the latest.
    The playlist is in the works yall, my original outline is shifting to better reflect how i interpret the characters. Feel like its pretty solid rn though.... and gives yall way too many hints on how this thing is going to end <3

    I finally was able to buy the book!! While i read there might be edits to previous chapters so keep an eye out!

    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.
