    Summary

    The thing rises back up with an ungainly lurch, almost careening backwards. It’s another mechanoid but nothing like the Hail Mary units, which have a long-limbed, almost lanky look to them. This thing is big and bulky, made of an unpainted, dull grey metal streaked with rust-orange. Ostensibly iron, but it has to be a stronger alloy to withstand landing like that. A spherical, cage-faced head puts Grace in mind of an old-timey diving suit.

    Is that… it is one of the Consolidation of Iron’s Evangelions. Grace has only seen blurry photos of them, C.O.I. dissuades media coverage. They’re a completely different line to the Hail Marys, apparent competitors, he knows that much, but that’s about it.

    Stratt’s voice is harsh and urgent, “Iron Lung confirmed? Which number is it?”

    “Which number?” Ilyukhina asks as well. “If this is IL-13 come to kill-steal again, I swear to dick, I will end them myself.”

    -

    AKA What if I put Grace and Simon in giant robots and made them fight giant biblical kaiju. And they kiss about it.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    A dying universe casts out one of its last survivors, a man named Simon who carries the final truths of his collapsing world, and sends him into the path of the only human left who can save him: Ryland Grace.

    What begins as an impossible rescue becomes a fragile alliance as Grace and Rocky uncover the truth behind the destruction of Simon's world and the quiet, devastating fallout left in its wake.

    As Simon starts to trust that surviving is something he may finally be allowed, the three of them start shaping a plan that might bridge realities.

    But saving a universe demands precision, trust, and a closeness none of them expected… and the doorway between worlds is far from stable.

    Summary

    "Sometimes they leave the light in the window because they want someone to come home."

    Seventeen years after the Hail Mary mission launched, Ryland Grace has finally built a home worth staying for.

    Fourteen years after being sent into the Blood Ocean, Simon has forgotten what home is.

    A machine keeps singing into the dark, and two broken men discover that being rescued is sometimes harder than surviving.

    <THE DISGUSTING SKELETON CREATURES BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT CLEARLY ALIVE AND MOVING GIANT FANGED SEA MONSTER?>
    <WELL THE FUCKED UP SKELETON IS MY JOB>

    <THE KIND YOU DONT GET A FUCKING SAY IN>

    Ryland Grace has already saved humanity once.
    Simon has spent most of his life trying to survive what was left of it.

    Separated by improbable distance, impossible timelines, and a computer terminal that should never have been able to connect them, two men who know far too much about sacrifice find themselves sharing research, terrible jokes, increasingly personal conversations, and a problem neither universe should still be alive to have.

    Because somewhere between a dying reality, a blood ocean, and a mission three hundred years in the making, something is trying very hard to close the distance between worlds.

    Unfortunately for the universe, both Ryland Grace and Simon have always had a problem with sacrifices...

    The second work in The Third Survivor.

    Seed of Life ended in the galley, on a kiss, with the Tree. Taking Root picks up from there.

    Taking Root is post-canon to that story and rests entirely on it.

    Summary

    "Your cooking tastes like prison food," Simon muttered into the glass, his voice bitter but without a trace of venom, fogging the pane as he spoke.

    Ryland let out a breathless, watery sound, halfway between a laugh and a sob. "I'll take that as a compliment."
    ---
    A continuation of the story after the events of Project Hail Mary and Iron lung. I try to be as story (and fact) accurate as I can be for the nerds out there. I see you, you're welcomed here (and everybody else). I heavily rely on PHM book with some details from the movie.
    TL;DR Grace is panicking because Simon is hot, but make it slow burn and cosmic horror. >:D

    Basically, what if I put Ryland Grace with amnesia in to the SM-13 right after Simon flash banged the COI crew with radiation?

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky

    Summary

    Ch.18 excerpt:
    “Simon needed it. Needed Ryland to do something - anything. To hit, to bite, to scream in his face and demand what it was he wanted in return. Kindness wasn’t free. Everything had a price and those who denied that universal truth were liars.

    > What do you want from me?

    “I don’t want anything-”

    Ryland was a liar.”

     

    Still trying to save their respective planets, Grace and Rocky gain a new problem they need to solve: the body of an impossible human appearing in the Hail Mary's airlock.

    Simon doesn't want to die. He might just get what he asked for, but everything comes with a price.

    Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

    Summary

    "Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"

    There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.

    Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."

    Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."

    "Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."

    "Rock, someone's on the ship."

    An AU where Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture both happen in the same universe, but at different times.

    Summary

    "I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."

    Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    Simon was prepared to die alone in the depths of a blood ocean for the sake of the remnants of humanity. He wasn't prepared to live a changed man - monster - in an entirely changed universe, with little memory of how he'd gotten there or who he was or what he'd done.

    Who the fuck was this Ryland person, and what did he want with him?

    Summary

    Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.

    The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.

    They found another human inside the vessel.

    Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has never been great at making friends. Now that he has a mutated, traumatized, and possibly insane man in the Hail Mary's quarantine room, he wishes he would have practiced more. Rocky wishes they'd ejected the monster out of the airlock.

    Summary

    It's something of an unspoken commandment that when you hear the SOS beacon, you respond, no matter what. Grace knows this. He knows that it might jeopardize the mission, but he can't leave someone in danger. He can't.

    ***

    Through a bunch of coincidences and the author pulling many worldbuilding strings, the Hail Mary picks up a faint distress signal and goes to investigate. When it does, what should it find but an ocean of blood on a tiny moon drifting in a starless void.

    Summary

    Simon had sprinted out of the lung from the first gaps of light that where made from someone cutting a new door into it.

    This event did lead him to slam what he originally assumed was a 60 year old man directly into a metal wall, ignoring the blood still pouring out of the lung, and then get "restrained" and hosed down, but not the worst thing that could happen in comparison to the blood ocean.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”
