    Summary

    Simon was no stranger to blood.

    He hadn’t exactly been the most clean-nosed child, and after his enlistment, he got fairly acquainted with what pain can do to the body, what trauma can do to the mind; what spilt blood can do to the soul. There were still nights he laid awake, listening to the muffled bombs in the distance, to the whimpers and moans of his brothers as they fought through dreams. He knew how blood smelled, how it tasted, how it felt on the skin, how there were too many types of pain to accurately describe and how to inflict each one. He’d long since desensitized himself to it— there was no room for squeamishness when you were fighting to survive, and less when you were the only one who managed it. He’d had blood on his hands for a long, long time.

    Or: my version of the Swap!AU. AKA my excuse to whump Ryland Grace as much as I possibly can without outright killing him. Because where's the fun in that?

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    “I’m just teasing,” Simon says, voice gentler. Almost apologetic. Definitely still more amused than Ryland cares for. “I’m more surprised than anything.”

    The sentence hangs alongside the rush of the shower, bouncing around the side of the tub. Bouncing around inside Ryland’s far too curious brain. Ryland sighs. “Why?”

    Simon doesn’t point out the way his voice cracks, a small mercy. “Wasn’t sure you even bothered with lowly things like…in-flight self service.”
