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
Simon's usually stoic face scrunched with confusion. "What are you doing?"
"Well- I just, ya know. I just wanted to-" Grace closed his eyes and took a deep breath that did nothing to calm his nerves before he shakily managed out. "I made you, a bouquet."
Simon's expression only twisted further into distress, "Why did you do that?"
Grace felt his measly courage wheeze out of him like a pathetic balloon, letting out a weak little, "Huh?"
After a moment for this brain to catch up with his mouth, he gulped and opened his mouth to try again, then stopped. Started again. "It’s… flowers."
"Yes," Simon said slowly, "I can see that."
Grace swallowed and tentatively added, "…For you."
That landed wrong. Simon’s immediately tensed, not in anger, more like suspicion and concern. He eyed the flowers with pursed lips before slowly drawing out another, "Why?"
"What?"

Or the five times Grace attempted to woo Simon the human way, and the one time he tried it the Eridian way.Bookmarked by RogueGhost8

Summary
“Please,” he whispers, hoping the eel can’t hear him, “please, I want to live. I just want to live, I don’t want to die. Please don’t let me die.”
The turning of a new eye upon him feels as if he’s been scrubbed raw suddenly, the truth of him pulled from the dark places he’d made to hide it away as something answers him.
“What would you do if you were to live, little star?”
OR
Simon is rescued at the last minute by *something* and dropped onboard the Hail Mary at quite possibly the worst time. Ryland Grace is fresh off a horrible fishing trip and his best friend is comatose. As the most injured and broken versions of themselves, they meet.

Summary
As The Convict shifted in the medical bed, he noticed a warm, heavy weight just below his knee. It was pinning him to the mattress.
He looked down.
There was a man. Leaning on him.

OR
Simon wakes up on planet Erid and is immediately infatuated (albeit confused) by the generosity and unbridled hospitality and warmth from Grace (and of course, Rocky). As Simon heals from his wounds (physical and otherwise), the two realise they have a lot more in common than they originally thought.
AND
Adrian and Rocky ship them so hard.

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
Simon appears on Grace’s beach, and they slowly navigate—together—what that means for their new shared reality. Both men had things they sacrificed themselves for. And yet neither of those two things are within their control anymore. They reached the finish line and cut the ribbon… but the track doesn’t end here. Not for either of them, not in the slightest.

Summary
“Grace! Grace!” He chanted the teacher's name in his text-to-speech voice. Despite it being text-to-speech, Grace could sense Rocky’s urgency
“Ship crash. Similar to Grace ship. Human question?”
Grace faltered.
Ship? Human?
Grace was utterly confused. How could another human arrive to Erid when Earth was lightyears away? What are the chances the being in the ship is human?

Or: Ryland Grace lives an ordinary life, (as ordinary as life could be on an alien planet) as a scientist, researcher, and teacher.
Enter: Simon.

Summary
After years of believing he was going to be alone forever, Ryland Grace is informed of a spacecraft drifting near Erid. The survivor he pulls aboard is Simon: younger, scarred, broad-shouldered, and carrying enough religious trauma to fill a spaceship. As recovery turns into late-night conversations, shared nightmares, and one very crowded bed, two men who have both been starved of human touch begin to realize that survival is easier when someone is there to reach back.
or
Ryland Grace rescues a human he thought he’d never find. Simon is wounded, haunted, and convinced he doesn’t deserve saving. Ryland disagrees.
EDIT: this story now has two endings like a choose-your-own adventure novel

Summary
“You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.
“Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”
A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.
But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

Summary
"So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.
"Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.
Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.
Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."
"Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.
"Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.
Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.
***
Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

Summary
Grace runs into the blood moon halfway through his trip to Erid. With limited food and resources, and a two-year trip left, adding another mouth to feed to the equation is less than ideal. But what is the man supposed to do, leave someone to die alone in the dark?
(I have no plan for this fic y'all it's gonna write itself. I don't know if i can add tags later so fuck it we ball, trigger warnings at the start of chapters if I have to.)
