    Summary

    Simon had been working at the middle school for barely two months, and somehow, everyone already knew who he was.
    The students knew him as the new metals teacher with one arm who could somehow demonstrate every project better than they could. The faculty knew him as competent, punctual, and impossible to read. The boys' wrestling team knew him as the coach who had accidentally embarrassed their own coach during a demonstration match.

    And the girls' wrestling team? The girls' wrestling team seemed to know everything. Or at least they acted like they did.

    "Coach Simon, do you know Dr. Grace?"

    How could Simon NOT know who Dr. Grace was?

     

    -OR-

     

    A teacher AU.

    NOW COMING OUT WITH A PART TWO SOMETIME IN AUGUST

    Summary

    “They burned it off,” Simon confesses in a halting breath. It’s enough to stop Grace in his tracks.

     

    “I guess… they didn’t want their property to have a mark of Eden. So they held me down and burned it off.” He sniffs, eyes trained on something far, far away. “Hurt like a bitch.”

     

    It’s like a dagger in his heart. Slowly, he pulls his lips away from the mark, just far enough to look his lover in the eyes. Simon’s jaw clenches, then slowly relaxes, and it’s like Grace can see the walls crumbling.

     

    “It really hurt,” Simon repeats, his voice cracking.

    Grace learns why Simon has a scar on his neck.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Nothing beats cuddles, if you ask me,” Grace said, trying to lighten the mood.

    Simon’s frown only deepened. “I wouldn’t really know.”

    Grace’s smile dropped. He fidgeted with his glasses, an idea already forming, but no. No, that’s a lot to ask. Too much. They’re barely friends. More like roommates of pure circumstance who mostly get along.

    But what if…?

    “Would you…” Grace started. Stopped. Tried again. “This is like, totally no pressure, and you can say no. But, uh, if you wanted to, we could, um—”

    “Spit it out, man,” Simon said, not unkindly, if a little annoyed.

    “Wouldyouwanttotrycuddlingwithme?”

    Simon blinked. “What?”

    Or... against all the odds, Simon finds himself in Ryland Grace's universe. This is how they find home.

    Summary

    "I know you hate calling me that. Convict, I mean," Simon tells him. "And I'm sorry that I keep asking you to."

    Simon watches as Dr. Grace pauses, like his whole body and brain systems stall into a stillness that is uncharacteristic of him.

    Or: Simon needs assurances that Ryland is human and not another trick. Ryland will do whatever it takes to help Simon, even if he doesn't like it. They find their way.
