    Summary

    “Grace,” she says gently. “You should really play it.”

    I don’t take my eyes off the light. “Are…are we sure it’s real?” I whisper.

    She barks out her boisterous laugh. “I am absolutely the wrong person to ask,” she says.

    —-

    When Grace goes back for Rocky, all he finds is a dead and silent ship. Being the only one left to bring Taumoeba to Erid, he decides to brave the long trip alone. He's not the same man when he arrives at Erid, but an unexpected friendship might bring him back to sanity.

    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.

    Ryland Grace wakes up in space... and he's not alone.

    Summary

    What happens if there is a fourth crew member on the Hail Mary?

    Eden Crowley wakes up in the stars unaware how she even got there. She’s surrounded by the silence completely lost and afraid.

    But in her sadness there is hope, Grace has found her and he too is lost. Unsure of how he got in the same mess that Eden did.

    Two souls in space, one mission, and fleeting memories of a past they chase in hopes of answers.

    There are two red strings in space, one is the Patrova line while the other is the string of fate.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky’s unlikely friendship saved the day. They found the cure to save the stars. Their mission is done. Now, Grace thinks, they'll have to say goodbye.

    But Rocky has seen the signs: regardless of what Grace thinks, Earth is not safe. He has different plans, kinder plans, for his human. Ones he will enact.

    Even if it has to be against Grace's will.

    Summary

    Post-Project Hail Mary. You find yourself waking up on a ship on course to 40 Eridani, with the sole purpose of contacting humanity's first exposure to intelligent alien life in the wake of Dr. Ryland Grace's revolutionary findings. You anticipate befriending some Eridians, combing through their libraries, and taking some exciting new samples back to Earth. What you do not anticipate is discovering that the tragically late hero of Project Hail Mary is alive, well, and winning teacher of the year for the second time in a row.

    completed!

    Summary

    You and Ryland Grace have history. Specifically: three years of academic rivalry, a relationship that ended badly, and eight years of not talking about it.

    -or-

    You wake up on the Hail Mary. Ryland Grace is three feet away and has no idea who you are. You remember everything. You are going to be so completely fine about it.

    Project Hail Mary Cannon AU, sequel to Margin of Error – start there if you can. Second person, slow burn, unreliable narrator, and the specific grief of being right about everything except the thing that mattered most.

    Summary

    Rocky has opted to stay on the Hail Mary for now. Someone has to watch Grace sleep, after all, and he doesn’t trust that duty to anyone else. Grace has been unwell for many days, and Rocky isn’t about to let anything happen to him, not now that they’ve made it to Erid and safety.

    (Grace's worsening illness starts reminding Rocky too much of the past.)

    Summary

    “Grace must not continue to have nightmare,” he states after a moment, “nightmare make sleep bad. Bad sleep bad bad bad for human health.”

    ”I know,” I assure him, my voice now sounding more like my own and less whiny, “just not sure what I can do about it. Trauma can take a lifetime to get over even at the best of times, and this,” I wave my hands around to indicate Mary and our general current situation, “is not the best of times.”

    Grace is desperately touch-starved and suffering from constant nightmares about the day he was forced onto the Hail Mary against his will. Rocky will fix, and Grace will discover some deep-seated truths about himself along the way.

    So basically this is me dumping everything possible onto my traumatised space cinnamon roll Ryland Grace, who is not a real human and is actually every single anxiety disorder stacked on top of one another, wearing a trenchcoat and crying. But it's OK, because Rocky is a very clever Eridian, and he will fix his leaky space blob whatever it takes. Mostly film canon but elements taken from the book. I'll leave an apology here in advance, you'll probably need it.

    Summary

    You and Ryland Grace know each-other fairly well. I mean, being trapped on a spaceship indefinitely with no other company but (very casually) alien life will do that to you.

    So, when Ryland starts acting… off… it’s safe to say you and your scarily perceptive alien friend, Rocky, start to notice.

    Who knew alien life was so confrontational?

    AKA: touch-starved Ryland Grace cause IF YOU WON’T DO IT, I WILL

    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.

     
    As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    Humans had many sayings. This one that Rocky read on his very own Grace-gifted-human-thinking machine stumped him.

    ‘Time flies when you are having fun.’ Because time just could not fly!

    Rocky understood now. He hated that he got it now.

    Summary

    His planet was just only a day away, the beautiful sphere being visible from the ship. We also did have work to do, mainly figuring out how to get close enough for the Eridians to know we’re there but also far away enough where we didn’t get pulled into the atmosphere and crash and die. But we’ve had years to prepare. We had done the math a billion times over and checked one more time, just in case. Rocky still held little faith in my piloting abilities, leaving him worried about the not crashing and dying part. He is also anxious to be home. To get off a spaceship, to be on solid ground, to tell his tales, to be reunited with Adrian.

    OR

    yay grace and rocky make it to erid in one piece! but oh... grace is stuck in the ship before he is able to come down to the planet... right... he'll be okay. probably.
