    Summary

    "Ryland wakes up as the retrieval crew drags him out of the remains of the Hail Mary. He doesn’t know if he should be delirious with joy or dread. Who knows how the world has changed in his absence? Hell, he didn’t know how it changed when he was still living there. He always looked to Stratt to fill him in on the important details.

    Mind hazy as he feels his body being dragged aboard a vessel, he lets his thoughts drift to Stratt. God, he misses her. Even though she’s the person who sent him on that mission to die, he misses her. He spent years by her side, basically her second. Her lapdog, as some crew members had joked."

    -

    In which Ryland Grace has decided to return to Earth and discovers how much has changed in his absence. Eva Stratt is in prison, and he wishes she weren't. She'd have a fifteen-step plan ready for him on how to navigate being Earth's savior. He finds existing without her to be more difficult than he bargained for, so he decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    “Much learning happens when Eridians make mistakes. Much learning happens when Grace make mistakes. Here to learn. Here to learn.”

    Ryland nods. “It’s like that on Earth, too!”

    Erid’s gravity is double the Hail Mary’s. After years in space, Ryland and Rocky struggle to find their footing.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are separated shortly after arriving in Erid. In an attempt to cope (with sickness, with loneliness, without Rocky), he knits a smaller, softer version of his best friend. A version he can touch.

    Summary

    Grace was having a predicament.

    He knew he was on the ace spectrum in some way; he knew this meant his view of sexuality and attraction were going to be different from the general populace; he knew that, even given those extenuating circumstances, anyone in their right mind would chalk these thoughts up to extended isolation. Yet, here he was, surprised and a little mortified at the realization that–

    He wanted Rocky.

    For Christ’s sake, he’s a rock! And an alien! A rock alien! He’d had some weird fictional crushes in the past, but this was out of hand. Not only was Rocky the most inhuman being he’d ever been interested in, he was real! He wanted to get down and dirty with a real life mineral!

    or: demisexual grace reasoning with himself about falling in love with rocky and all the weird sexual stuff that goes alongside that

    Summary

    "Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."

    Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"

    "We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."

    Summary

    The humans threw Grace away. Grace, who worked so hard to save them, who came back for Rocky when he realized the taomoeba would eat through Rocky's ship. Grace, who gave up his chance to go home to save Erid too.

    And then Rocky finds out exactly how Grace ended up in space.

    They're not giving him back now. Grace will always have a place on Erid where he's beloved and cherished the way he should be, even if it takes Grace a while to believe he's worth that. Rocky may or may not have plans to fix up the Hail Mary for the trip back anyways- there were a few things they wanted to say directly to Stratt's face.

    Summary

    Of the two astronauts and one middle-school teacher sent to Tau-Ceti, none survived the coma.

    By all mean, when the Hail Mary begin its deceleration it should be empty of life. Yet one Ryland Grace wakes up— unaware he already belongs to the other side. With nothing better to do, he reports his observations into a journal.

    These are the logs from a haunted ship.

    Summary

    The world may be ending, but Grace is too busy trying to be a dad to worry about it. Yet, Eva Stratt cares nothing about his sensibilities.

    He doesn’t think she’d do as well as he did when he found out he had a child out of nowhere.

    She proves him wrong, of course she does. So do the members of Project Hail Mary.

    It may not take a village, but it takes an entire aircraft carrier full of people from more than a dozen nationalities to raise a child. His child.

    Summary

    After saving Grace and nearly dying in an alien atmosphere, Rocky lays an egg before going dormant.

    Turns out being isolated for years and then nearly dying will force biological imperatives onto injured Eridians, and this one leaves Ryland Grace utterly baffled.

    Aren't Eridians supposed to lay eggs in clutches? Only fused eggs are supposed to be viable, but when Grace accidentally touches the egg with his bare skin while trying to save it, that's apparently all the genetic fusion required for life to begin.

    Ryland Grace skips a few steps when it comes to making a baby, and I test the limits of Eridian biology.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace couldn’t say he’s ever had a best friend. Fudge—he couldn’t even remember the last time he’d gone out on a proper hangout. Well, that was until he met Rocky, his new best friend. A rock spider. And now Earth’s scientists are asking him all sorts of weird questions like “How many distinct notes does Eridianise possess?”, “Is xenonite used to construct Eridian dwellings?”, and “How close exactly are you with the Eridian named Rocky?”. What has his life come to?

    a.k.a. Humans want to establish diplomatic relations between Earth and Erid and Grace is caught in the crossfire.

    Summary

    So I can't die.

    I was in undergrad when I finally couldn't deny it any more. I'd been hit by a car and walked it off with barely a scratch. Though, really, "can't die" was a wild oversimplification of something I still didn't fully understand.

     

    Aka Grace remembers that he's literally indestructible at the worst possible moment. This complicates things.
