    Summary

    Usually, a parent helps a child get to doctor's appointments, teaches them to shave, helps them open their first bank account. The Elrics' biological parents aren't around, but Maes is happy to play the part, as long as he gets to call them his sons.

    Summary

    DEHUMANIZATION;
    As a child he had never understood the letters written on the board, hung high on the wall. Even as his teacher explained the concept – the act of regarding, representing, or treating a person or group as less than human. – He could never truly fathom it. How could you see something right in front of you and not recognize the life within?
    And then Filament station imploded. It wouldn’t be until he awoke to the ringing off his ears that he had learned that the blast had taken more than just matter. Somewhere between the lighting of a fuse and his placement in the submarine, someone, or something, had decided that he had become something less than. Something not human.

    Aka. What if the captain never learned of the SM-8 and so Simon was never offered a second chance? Would he fight just to prove that he was worth saving?

    Summary

    Iron Lung Group Chat AU

    In cases where the SM model submarines lose radio signal, a long distance chat server will be activated to keep the pilot and COI Captain in charge of the sub connected to prevent any loss of information that may occur. Unfortunately for Captain Ava, she's in charge of the COI's most infamous convict.

    This mission can only go so well

    Summary

    He focuses on her voice over the pain and rapidly dwindling oxygen. It sounds like she’s walking as she speaks—he can hear her footsteps. She says he’s earned his freedom. More than that, he’s a hero. She tells him it’s a good day: for humanity, for him. He wants to believe her.

    The footsteps stop. A moment of silence, and then—“Why isn’t he out yet?”

    OR

    Simon gets the data. True her word, Ava pulls him out. It’s not necessarily over after that.

    Summary

    Ava wants to reach out and touch his hand, touch the sapling, touch his shoulder, feel anything to prove that she isn’t alone and that she’s still a good woman, somehow, that she’s still human, but it’s far too late for that and she knows it.

    “Your nose is bleeding,” she whispers stupidly, because it’s all she can think to say, and to say anything else would feel cruel.

    Ava lives, if barely, if inexplicably. Whatever is left of Simon down in the depths just might have lived, too.
    They both find themselves thinking of one another.

    Summary

    The convict- Simon. His name was Simon, and some part of Ava hated that she knew it now because The Convict was a criminal, a murderer - a butcher, some said.

    But Simon - Simon - was a person, who had parents and had a childhood, and had a voice that shook and quivered and broke as it yelled at her through a shitty microphone - "You sent me to die down here, and you don't even know my name?" - and Simon was clever, and Simon's amalgamated ship of spare metal had somehow moved off their plotted map, and yet he had found the coordinates for the lost SM-8 and had begged her to set him free for it's data.

    Simon - the one responsible for the destruction of the Filament Station, the one who's life was in her hands - was an enigma of data versus emotion in her brain.

    Simon wasn't talking.

    ------

    OR:

    What if Ava got to Simon before the beast found them, and got them both (relatively) safely to the surface.

    Summary

    Ava and Simon are just faster by a life saving smidgen. Ava doesn't die, Simon doesn't loose his arm. The black blox is saved.

    Radiation poisoning aside, everyone is alive and safe. The black box may hold secrets to save the remaining people of The Quiet Rapture. Simon has earned his freedom.

    Or, that's what Simon thinks before waking up in an isolated, locked room with a one way window and a door just big enough for some food to be passed through.

    Summary

    “So then why?” Simon demands. “Why am I still in here?”

    Ava doesn’t even bother reprimanding him for interrupting again. She takes a deep breath as if steeling herself for what she’s about to say. “We tried to pull you out.”

    Simon’s heart freezes. “W-What?”

    “We tried to pull you out,” Ava repeats, the words shaky and uncertain for once. “And we couldn’t."

    Summary

    It didn't make any sense.
    A square of inky blackness stood before him. A perfect doorway.
    The blood dripped down into the expanse, freezing into crystalline little bubbles in the zero gravity, moons of themselves. Simon moved closer to it, pulled in by the suction, and…
    It didn’t make sense.
    It was full of stars.

    Summary

    Inspired by like-minded authors who have had Simon meet the egos and him experiencing life outside of The Quiet Rapture.

     

    Somehow climbing out of an ocean, A REAL ocean instead of to the surface of a blood ocean, Simon collapses with his one arm still bleeding out and him covered in the sticky blood of the moon he'd come from the depths of. It isn't long before he's found, and it's not exactly easy to believe he's alive and on a real planet with a sun, a star, and life is thriving.

    Even more so, why has almost every person he's met so far share his face?! He's gotta be hallucinating.

    Summary

    The day is new, but the dawn falls silent. Never before the Filament incident was there a day wasted, but mourning does strange things to desperate people.
    The Convict sat still at his hearing. His hands are clasped, intertwined, bloody. He looked down. Bloody figuratively.. physically clean. Something deep inside him is telling him he did kill those people, but he can’t explain why or how. So when They come in to question him, he has nothing to say.
    The Convict is given a number, not a name. He’s told he isn’t deserving of a name. He thinks he should accept that.

    Summary

    Simon doesn't make it back to the recon point before his 30-minute time limit. After Ava is attacked, communication is severed between the two pilots, and Simon assumes she is dead. With the only one willing to bring him back up gone, Simon resigns to his fate in the depths.

    Simon manages to escape the monstrosity lurking in the deep, but the SM-13 was damaged in the process. As the convict fights for his last moments of life against the rising blood and monstrous flesh growing on the walls of the sub, the radio crackles to life.

    It’s Ava

    And she's coming to find him.

    Summary

    Eventually, Simon opens his eyes.

    He was drowning, he's pretty sure – but this isn't the first time his brain has been fucked with since he allowed himself to be welded into this death-tube. At least this time, he's not vomiting up blood on the floor of the sub.

    He's not sure where he is, though. It looks like the inside of the sub, still, but everything is tinged red and his vision's a bit wobbly, like he's peering through water. He's sprawled on the floor with his back against the camera controls, and the navigation panel is obscured by something that looks like a thicket of branches that wavers in his unsteady view.

    Also, there's a dog sitting on the floor in front of him.
