  Summary

  A new human is moved into Grace's biodome! They get along great and everything is going well... Then grace develops Hanahaki and has to wrestle with his feelings for Simon. And of course he takes this chance to synthesise some new plants from the seeds and flowers he coughs up.

  or: grace is an idiot and almost fucking dies because he wants better food
