    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    Alternative title: Until Morning

    Iruma was kidnapped by the Six Fingers.

    As his familiar, Kalego came to the rescue.
    Unfortunately, the Six Fingers had been experimenting with dangerous new magical technology. One accident later, the rescue mission goes horribly wrong.

    Now Kalego has been de-aged into a teenager, both he and Iruma have lost their memories, and escaping their captors is no longer an option.
    With no memories of who they are, no idea why they're being held, and no one coming to save them, the two boys are forced to rely on each other to survive.

    At least they aren't alone.

    Or
    I wanna make young Kalego interact with the misfit class!
    No Ship!

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.
    (Simon thinks he's dead and that Grace is an angel for A While due to continued misunderstandings)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Words cannot describe how much I adore this fic. The way it handles Simon's struggle to make sense of the world around him mixed with his complicated
    background is so fresh and new. I could barely put my phone down the last two days of reading, and absolutely no other form of entertainment could get me to stop. I love love LOVE where this is going.
    I can't wait for more.

    Summary

    “I called it the Good Luck quilt,” Grace says. “It’s all symbols of luck from across the world, it was a parting gift before the mission - but let’s not get into all that. It’s silly but it’s comforted me through some pretty hard times. I thought…I don’t know. I’m probably just being sentimental.”

    Simon grasps the edge of the quilt that he can reach, if only to make sure it’s real. It’s beautiful. There’s not a lot of color left in the world, and colorful, soft fabric of this quality is worth a fortune. The patterns are joyful, almost childish. For some reason that Simon can’t quite articulate through the sickness and exhaustion, it makes him suddenly very certain that this isn’t the COI.

    In Simon’s old universe, fabric, thread, and yarn are all precious commodities. He's had to learn to mend clothes and knit socks out of practicality. On Erid, it's a way to pay back what he owes, to make friends, and eventually, to heal.
    A love letter fiber crafts and the people who do them, an exploration of physical disability, and of course, a very soft love story.

    Summary

    The last five years living on Erid had been some of the happiest of Simon's life. He felt safe, happy, fulfilled, and had people he felt genuinely cared for him. Simon was sure that his perfect life was about to crumble when Rocky returned with another human. Where all Simon has ever known on Erid is compassion, his experience with humanity had rarely been so kind
