    Summary

    So call the navigator set the course and go
    We've stars and planets to explore, my wild heart tells me so
    Beneath the metal decking I can hear the engine sigh
    And all I need is a mighty ship and a star to guide her by

    “This is Akha Susutek. When you receive this message, I will probably be dead and gone. At the time of recording, we are in Procyon’s orbit. We will probably be completely out of your stellar neighborhood when you listen to this. Unfortunately, we have a favor to ask of you. Three explorers have gone missing during an expedition in Rigil Kentaurus. They were exploring one of the moons of the fourth planet in the system. The local peoples call it Eywa’eveng. I have included all of our data about the moon with this recording. Please telegraph us as soon as you can. Leyol’s father was one of the explorers. I hope you will help, but my people understand if you don’t.”
    Grace stared at the texture screen when the message ended. “Rock… We’re going to Alpha Centauri.”

    Grace, Rocky, and Adrian are sent to investigate disappearances on an alien moon in the Alpha Centauri system. There, they discover a whole new clade of life.

    Summary

    Simon, Ryland, and Rocky have survived their ordeal on AT-5. Now they just have to survive for the rest of their lives, and maybe enjoy it.

    This picks up right where part 1 left off. Our crew needs to pack it up and make it the rest of the way to Erid. A casual series where they figure out their relationships, ease their traumas, mend their wounds, rebuild their lives, and maybe have a little fun!

    Summary

    Just a single moment, a single split second, and everything falls apart for no reason. Within the sound of a snap, the car crashes, lightning strikes, tragedy strikes, and people can’t even realize what’s happened until after the fleeting moment has passed. It was ephemeral, but at the same time, it was lasting, eternal, because the echoes of its consequences would continue to haunt them long after the lightning and its storm had passed. Long after the wreck of the car has been cleaned off the street.

     

    When his quirk first appeared, Midoriya Izuku had learned that all men were not created equal. Some were born into this world lucky and others were born into it unlucky. He also learned that he was one of those born unlucky. It would be hard not to be, considering his quirk was a Jinx.

    When the weight of his misfortune became too heavy to carry, Izuku was pushed over the edge. Only for another boy with a different "villain quirk" to pull him back over. Together, the both of them move forward trying to prove to the society that not everything painted in a black light is bad.

    The real question is whether or not Izuku can prove that to himself first.

    What started as a harmless prank has now resulted in the star quarterback breaking his leg right before the big game. But that’s not all that came from this moment.

    Summary

    Maybe this is why he came back as a ghost. A part of his body is missing, and in order to pass through the veil, his body needs to be completed and put together. Richie just needs to find his other eye, return it to his head, and rejoin the pieces of his body so he can move on to the afterlife.

    What a perfect plan. He needs to figure out how this happened, and how he can put an end to it. He needs to understand why he’s been resurrected, and if there’s a way to reverse whatever dark magic is keeping his soul in this world. He needs to go and learn the full history of the Waylons.

    He needs to find the others. He needs to find his eye.

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace wakes up, all knows is the weight of the world has been put on his shoulders. Yao and Ilyukhina were chosen as the best of the best, and he isn't even an astronaut. But his crewmates never needed another astronaut, they need him. The Hail Mary was designed for three. And they aren't alone.

    ---
    AU in which Yao and Ilyukhina survive the coma because I love them and I need Grace to have human contact. AKA Rocky returns home with three weird aliens.

    Currently on short hiatus, sorry!!

    Summary

    Grace doesn't have a very good estimation of himself. He has no idea how much people genuinely like him, especially (most) of the people involved in this project. Ikukhina meets him, finds him adorable, and immediately decides to adopt him. Yáo is the only one who can even somewhat contain her but finds himself also somehow adopting Grace in the process.

    Then Grace wakes up with amnesia.

    What happens when Grace remembers he was sent against his will? What happens when he still meets Rocky first, they still have to go to Erid, and now the three of them have to duke it out for custody/best friend rights of Grace?

     

    Updates every other day and has a heavy focus on the initial trio friendship before Rocky shows up, so it'll be a while before we meet our favorite alien spider rock

    Summary

    Dr Captain Ryland Grace returns to an Earth that had long designated him “history”; 58 years old, and with a body that ached in vicious revenge, Grace wanted to take Rocky and Adrian through the wonders of Planet Earth before his time came.

     

    Rocky and Adrian would very much like it if Grace stopped referencing his mortality, and are finding Earth about as peculiar and spectacular as the man the planet gave them.

     

    Earth is pleasantly surprised to see their intergalactic neighbours at their doorstep, and would very much like to confiscate Grace from Rocky for scientific study, because how the fuck was he still alive.

    Summary

    Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”

    Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”

    The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.

    Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”

    ———

    Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.

    Summary

    Science has warned us of what might be
    Dangers that drift through infinity
    Comets may call or meteors fall
    And nobody knows what lives out there at all

     

    Grace squinted at the telescope’s texture-screen. He could clearly make out Threeworld, but not quite the blob floating next to it.
    “Do we have a light-screen?”

    ♩Yes, yes.♩ The astronomer hit a button and a regular light-screen came to life.

    ♬Does that look like Earth’s probe, question?♬ Rocky asked, standing to his side.

    Grace stared stock-still at the screen. “Absolutely not.”

     

    Informed about a strange craft found orbiting Threeworld, Rocky and Grace are sent to investigate.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    Grace and Simon have ended their stories. Unfortunately, neither of them had their happy ending.
    Grace has found a tentative home on Erid. He's living with his soulmates, Rocky and Adrian. He's saved the stars, set foot on distant worlds... and he's starving. Not even just for food, although that's part of it. His first love was humanity, Earth. He loved science, teaching, and making friends. And now he's 10 years away from it all and desperate for human connection.
    Simon is objectively worse off. His prayer to live was answered by the Blood God, but in its ignorance it did not distinguish between Simon and the rest of the SM-13. He's stuck in a hellish limbo, encased in the mutant tree and fused with the submarine, reliving the horror of the last moments of his life, waiting for freedom.

    Will he get his freedom?

    I know I know. Another "Grace finds Simon floating in space" fic. Listen, I was blissfully ignorant. After consuming some bloodymary fanart I was unwillingly possessed by a hell-creature, vomiting the contents of this fic into my notes app while the Great Unknowable Eye of God beheld me in my stupor. After three days of not eating or sleeping, I returned to consciousness and had to upload this.

    Summary

    Simon Fletcher was awaiting an execution when he was given a chance to save earth and the stars- to make up for his sins, only for it to all fall apart while he could do nothing.

    Ryland Grace studied hard to learn what happened during the Quiet Rapture, but he crossed one too many lines and is now facing his own execution via blood ocean.

    They're both facing their own worst-case scenarios. Now what?

    __
    OR:
    Simon is from the Project Hail Mary universe and they waited a little longer to deal with their problems. Grace is from the Iron Lung universe and he's about to figure out how fucked he is.

    They might just be the answer to each others prayers
    (for those who care, they finally meet in chapter 16)

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...
