Summary
In the world, there are people with Gifts. Some are calm under pressure and some bolster strength. Some will live through what should have killed them, and others will be able to survive in any temperature. There are some who know about the Gifts, but many do not.

silence more musical than any song by hansdevice
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
Hours later, Rocky wriggles awake. The pain has eased. His heartbeats have slowed. His cells are still functioning. There is no falling apart. He can hear the scritch-scratch of his five claws on Xenonite. He can hear the machines, humming their false song. He can hear the silent expanse of space. The distant stars. His friends, dead in the hull. And the building feeling, deep in every cell — every fibre of his body — that something is so incredibly wrong.
Rocky knows this disease. Exhaustion. And all alone in space, there is no cure.
It is a primal requirement that Eridians sleep only under the trusting gaze of their companions. Rocky spends forty-six years alone in space.

Summary
Looking at things from (my take on) Gurathin's perspective. Pre-canon, during canon, way off-screen during canon, potentially even post-canon. It's all fair game.
He is a cranky wet cat of a human who desperately needs a hug and will be going through it.
There's some fluff, too.

Summary
We had been at the base of the collapsed habitat section for approximately three minutes. Approximately, because one of the large, heavy bits of plasteel that had been raining down on us had knocked my system offline for the first minute or so.
I was pinned beneath a large structural support, which was infuriatingly cliche, and had happened no less than three times in Strife in the Galaxy.
Performance reliability at 42%.
Mainly because I couldn’t stand up.
Or, Murderbot and Gurathin trapped in a collapsed building.
