Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.

Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

Summary
Jesus, my back.
I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.
God, I hope he can't. Please God.
It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.
"I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.
I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.
The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Summary
There was a hole in the Hail Mary right above him. He could see a great big... tree. It glowed with flecks of purple and blue. Bioluminescent, his brain slowly supplied.
And beyond that?
The green, swirly sky of Adrian. The planet they'd just crash landed on.
***
Rocky and Grace's fishing attempt does not quite go as planned. Marooned on an alien planet with limited resources and limited time, they struggle to regain their footing.
And when the natives come a-knocking? They can only hope they're friendly.

Summary
"You know what?" Grace leaned back, shifting his weight from his knees to his heels, "This could not get any worse. I'll just have Rocky fix it when—"
"Greetings… 𝅗𝅥♪𝅘𝅥♪𝅘𝅥… This 𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥♫… Erid ♫𝅗𝅥♪𝅘𝅥𝅗𝅥 𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥♫... ♪𝅘𝅥♪ Please 𝅗𝅥♪♫♫ 𝅘𝅥♪𝅘𝅥𝅗𝅥 ship..."
Rocky sat in his xenonite ball, his legs tucked up and asleep in an attempt to speed up healing from an accident. Rocky is asleep. Rocky is sleeping and injured and Grace's only way of effectively communicating with unknown Eridians is broken.
"Aw shoot! This absolutely can get worse!"

Everything Looks Smaller From Up Here by Bookkeeper1
Fandoms: Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types
23 Oct 2026
Tags
Summary
Grace and Rocky had solved the Astrophage problem, and were less than six months away from reaching Erid. That was the good news.
The bad news? They just passed through some sort of wormhole that came out of nowhere, and now Grace is physically and mentally much younger than he was before.
To an Eridian, a difference of thirty years is nothing. To a human? It’s the difference between being a doctor and being a second grader.
Good thing Rocky, the number-one human expert, is here. Hopefully whatever that wormhole did wears off eventually, but if not? Well, he and Adrian did always want to start a family someday…

Summary
Rocky didn't mention the asteroid belt surrounding Erid's Solar System. After a meteor collides with the Mary, Rocky suffers a fall and is out for the count. Grace knows very little Eridian, but by God, he's gonna get his friend some help.
It's just too bad the Eridians think they're talking to a pebble.
***
"Have fi-x," he whistled. "Life eat. Hurt bad."
Oh, God, this was not gonna work. Not one bit.

Summary
While studying the astrophage in the dingy, hollow hangar, Grace coughs. And a cough isn't supposed to trigger a full-scale quarantine, but Stratt disagrees.
Grace is pretty sure everyone is overreacting. After all, it's a cough. A cold? The sniffles, at worst. It's nothing to freak out about and it surely doesn't warrant this type of shutdown, right?
He is, unfortunately, wrong about that.

Summary
Ryland Grace is many things: brilliant, stubborn, and absolutely terrible at taking care of himself. He isn't exactly well-known for a bulky constitution or having an incredible immune system. In fact, ask anyone who knows him well and they'll say, "Oh, yeah, he gets sick. A lot."
But those who do know him love him and care.
After all, that's their Ryland Grace.
Or, a nine-chapter sickfic focusing on nine people (or groups of people) and how they perceive and care for a sick Grace.

Summary
It’s the first and suddenly the only thing he can process. He feels Rocky’s claws, as close as he can ever safely get to them, wrap gently against the exposed skin of his arm, firm and real and warm, just above where he’d burned a scar all those months ago to save his life. The flexible xenonite suit is solid and wonderful and suddenly it’s the best thing he’s ever felt, the only thing he ever could have wanted.
...
A snippet from the journey to Erid; Rocky's first use of the form-fitting xenonite suit.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.
