Fics like The Scientist

Simon looks older. Quieter. More cautious. Grace is sure Simon sees the same. Two sides of the same coin, two men both touched by the passage of time and circumstance. _____ Thanks to Rocky and Adrian, Ryland Grace is suddenly thrown into lab work for the first time in years. His Summer break is now filled with petri dishes, poor notetaking practices, and Adrian's engineering coworker wiggling his way back into Grace's heart after destroying it twelve years ago. Simon Fischer has made peace with his existence. He has his cat, a small house, and his garden. It's more than he deserves after the monstrous accident his work as a combat engineer caused. But, something about seeing Ryland Grace's smile has Simon hoping for more. Memories old and new swirl between the two men. What happened all those years ago? Can they try again? You know what they say: third time's the charm. The College!AU into Coworkers/Slice of Life fic that no one asked for.
