Grace Monroe/Simon Laurent, also known as Grimon or Mall Rats, is a het ship in the Infinity Train fandom.
Canon
Grace and Simon were both trapped on the Infinity Train as children. Due to a breakdown in train management, they misinterpreted the numbers on their hands and believed that the aim was to get high scores in order to "win" the train, rather than to reach zero in order to escape.
The duo eventually started the Apex, an organization of children trapped on the train, led by Grace with Simon as her right hand.
Simon appears to have had a crush on Grace for a long time when we meet the characters and often blushes when he is around her.[1] A deleted scene later released on Twitter shows tween Grace and Simon practice-kissing, which Grace finds hilarious and Simon pretends to laugh at.[2]
Grace eventually learned the true nature of the train and how their actions were harming the train's denizens, who she previously believed to be non-sentient. Simon, however, grew bitter and refused to change his beliefs, eventually attempting to "wheel" Grace (throw her under the train wheels, killing her). During that fight, a ghom attacked the duo, killing Simon.
Fanon
As of August 2024, Grace/Simon is the fifth most popular Infinity Train relationship on Archive of our Own, as well as the most popular ship for each character individually.
AUs
Grace and Simon are often compared to Veronica Sawyer and Jason Dean from Heathers, a crossover that has sparked many fanworks.
