    Summary

    “You know me. I’m not gonna hurt you.”
    The problem is, she can’t remember if that’s true.

    An Ivy League paleobiology university student, Y/n L/n, wakes aboard the Hail Mary with fragmented memories, a cryptic warning stuffed in her pocket, and only two companions lightyears from Earth: an alien who thinks emotional breakdowns are "advanced mating rituals", and Dr. Grace, the scientist from aboard the boat she can't remember why she's wary of.

    OR! Reader wakes up on board the Hail Mary with scattered memories, all of which makes her distrustful of Ryland until she learns the truth aboard the ship. She wasn't supposed to be there. Her professor was, and yet, her and Ryland are all that remains aboard the ship. Cue the investigation and feelings forming against their will!

    Summary

    You and Ryland Grace knew each other in the past.. and not in a good way. Ever since he wrote his papers about life forms possibly not needing water, you and him bumped heads. Everything you stood for was torn apart by his careless words, and you couldn’t stand his arrogant behaviour.

    Now you’re the only two survivors who were thrown into this stupid Project Hail Mary thing. (Unfinished)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace figures he's pretty close to at least starting a conversation with you, he can't follow you around like a lost puppy forever.
    It just sucks for him that his brother beat him to it, now he can't stand seeing the two of you together.
    Oh well, Ryland is used to sharing things with his brother anyways.

    DNI if you're not a freak

    Summary

    Eridians. I come in peace from Planet Earth, the homeworld of Doctor Ryland Grace. We wish to learn more about your people. Can you hear me?

    She scanned every dial, output, and monitor for any sign of anything at all.

    Nada. Again.

    She sighed heavily. Maybe they were all dead down there. She’d hoped not.

    “I, uh, hey, earthling. Fellow earthling. This is Doctor Ryland Grace. We hear– uh, we copy. Um. Sup?”

    Sup?! SUP?! Years without any human contact, and this guy’s first message is sup? The dead speak, and they are not fucking serious whatsoever.

    ---

    After the success of the Hail Mary mission, Earth sends a foul-mouthed astro-anthropologist to study Erid. She discovers a very-much-still-alive Ryland Grace. Slow burn mutual pining ensues. Will eventually be explicit, but... did I mention the slow burn?
