    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.


    OR: The universe's most unlikely meet-cute.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is right. He is also, as of seventy-two hours ago, unemployed and no longer welcome near a UNESCO conference. These things are related, as is everything that follows.

    This is the story of how the best science teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle School ended up there, and what he had to leave behind first.

    A Project Hail Mary prequel.

    Summary

    “I lost my jacket because of you!” Colt pushes off the couch, shrugging out of Jody’s touch.

    “Because of me?” Jody stands up, affronted. “You cannot be serious. Because of ME?”

    “No wait,” Colt rushes over to her, ducks his head the way he always does whenever Jody refuses to look at him, one set of blue eyes always desperately searching for the other. “That came out wrong.” If there’s one thing Colt will never lose it’s his foot-in-mouth disease.

    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.

    Tom Ryder hasn't been on set in a week and (of course) Colt is tasked with finding him. It isn't until he gets to Ryder's apartment when he realizes Ryder isn't entirely keen on going back to set... unless Colt convinces him.

    Summary

    I remember tracing lazy circles against his spine, feeling the ridges of it beneath my finger tips. Feeling each vertebra beneath my fingertips and counting them without realizing I was counting.

    I remember wondering, briefly, how many falls that spine had survived after so many years of working as a stuntman. Human beings talk endlessly about the heart like it was all that, but really, it's the spine, isn’t it?

    Snap that, and everything underneath it becomes useless.

    or

    An insight into Tom Ryder's life, and what drove him to attempting to murder and frame his first love.

    Summary

    To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.

    Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.

    Or: The sex pollen amoeba fic you (never) asked for.


    Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    Summary

    “It’s different when I’m… looking at it. Thinking about it. Do I need to tell you again about the whole ‘taboo’ thing? I can go over it again.”

    “And I watch you. We are already several layers deep into taboo.”

    “I would be eating myself!”

    “Grace,” I can’t help but stamp a claw for emphasis. It needs to listen,”your body is already eating itself.”

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

    Summary

    Good morning, Dr. Grace! The time is currently 04:52 A.M., and we are approximately 11.9 light-years from Earth. Welcome aboard the Hail Mary! I am E.D.I.T. - Emergency Directive Interference & Transfer, your guide to the cosmos. Do you remember how you got here?

    Ryland Grace wakes up onboard the Hail Mary, and he doesn’t need to try and figure out what he’s doing, or who he is. E.D.I.T. is right there with him, ready to make sure everything goes according to plan.

    Summary

    His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.

    He realizes it's just the right size for him.

    ---

    The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.

    Summary

    When the burger factory was first commissioned, I was promised it would be for therapeutic cloning only. Muscle tissue for meburgers; organs if I needed them; but no experimenting with brain tissue. And absolutely no reproductive cloning – that is, making a whole other me. My provisions were ratified by the Eridian legislative body over a decade ago, and it's the reason I gave up my stem cells willingly – well, that, and I missed meat. A lot.

    I mean, I miss hugs too, but not so badly I would condemn another human to live his entire life inside this dome with me. Don't get me wrong, I like Erid; I'm happy here. But to never know Earth, to only have yours truly for human company… that's a pretty raw deal. I couldn't conscience bringing a new life into the wrong world – and neither could my Eridian hosts.

    Or so I thought.
