Summary
The human brain is a funny thing, you see. It’s an incredibly complex structure of neurons and connections, capable of amazing feats (like sending people twelve light years into space), but it’s also a demanding little bastard. Oh, it’s very generous when it rewards you for getting it what it wants, but it also knows when it has given you enough to stop and keep you coming for more. And this is not the first bout Grace has had with his own neurobiology.
His biggest problem right now? Freaking oxytocin.
---
Grace is an stupid and touch starved. Simon is traumatized and thinks he's not worthy of love. They are both idiots. -

Summary
Grace is tasked with documenting Simon's mutations in order to better help the Eridian medical team care for him. Normally he would be thrilled by the prospect of getting to research something new, but it doesn't take long for him to realize that there's a very big problem with this.
Namely, the fact that he might be a little too interested in Simon's mutations.

Summary
It’s the same now, with Ryland. Frozen like a prey animal caught in a trap, a frog paralysed with venom; his traitorous body still shaking like a mutt from the leftover adrenaline and the sudden, overwhelming terror that, once again, he has revealed the brutality of himself, the ugly violence comprising the foundation of who he is, to someone he cares for.
And once again, they will leave him for it.
Driver almost kills a man. Ryland watches.
This fic now has a sequel!

Summary
“Simon?” Grace tries out the name, the syllables rolling of his tongue. To his surprise, Simon looks up. He looks scared and confused, regardless of how harsh his bark may come off or unnatural his eyes are. Grace longs to help him.
“Can you c’mere, please? So I can show you proof I’m not lying to you?” Grace asks with a new wave of patience. Simon looks away and doesn’t move, choosing to glare at the wall.
“I don’t bite,” Grace reassures.
“What if I do?” Simon warns, tone too soft to be threatening.
Grace sits down with a grunt, crisscrossed on the floor from where he stood with the laptop settled on his lap.
“Then that’s a risk I’ll just have to take.”
-Dialogue from Chapter 4
OR -
Ryland Grace has been living happily on Erid the past year, or so he believes. He loves his comforts and small wins of his everyday, but when he’s alone it feels as though something’s missing.
Maybe this hard around the edges and mysterious stranger, the only human he’s made contact with in years, will become a friend.
Maybe something more, as his foolish soft heart always holds onto hope.
Art now in chapter 5 as a treat while I write more ❤️

Summary
Simon’s fucking stupid. He’s always been self-deprecating, but right now he really wants to brain himself on a concrete wall.
Why’d he put on the cardigan?
Why’d he put on the goddamn cardigan?
Because it smells too good, obviously.
Noxiously sweet, like his nose is pressed to Grace’s jugular vein. Temptation, deep and dark as sin, flits through his lungs.
Elongated canines strain against Simon’s gums. His tongue taps one and it’s sharp as a blade.
Shit.
He’s playing a dangerous game, testing his willpower like this.
--------
Or, where Grace and Simon live a peaceful life on Erid now. Except, they're hopelessly in love with each other, blind to that fact, and...Simon's a vampire.

Summary
En route to Erid, the Hail Mary picks up a signal from an unknown object. It turns out to be a ship– an impossibly HUMAN ship, nearly 12 light-years away from anywhere that might make sense. Curiosity kills the cat, Grace and Rocky get a little bit more than they bargained for, and the Hail Mary might just have a new crewmate.

Summary
Ryland Grace lived his whole life wondering why his soulstring stretched out all the way to the sky. It took him a one-way ticket to Tau Ceti, another one-way ticket to Erid, and a special delivery in the form of a bloody submarine to finally learn the answer. It is strange, though, how his soulmate never seems to address their soul string but has a habit of staring deep into his eyes.
AKA; A soulmate AU where Simon arrives on Erid five years after Grace did. The two of them learn how to heal from the past and feel excitement for a future they never expected to have. First two chapters are about Simon's arrival to Erid but the rest focuses on their personal growth, developing feelings for each other, and understanding of how soulmate systems works.

“Okay. We’ll start over.” The man placed his hands over his own heart as he spoke. Gentle. “My name is Dr. Ryland Grace. Most everyone just calls me Grace. You can too, if you’d like. Can I ask you what your name is?”
Grace. Maybe his soul hadn’t been abandoned.

In which the planet Erid, impossibly, adds a second human to their population.

Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

Summary
“Teach me how you like it, Dr. Grace." Simon's breath on his neck was warm and wet and intoxicating. His vision blackened.
He'd never felt like this before.
The next words from Simon's mouth nearly caused him to choke on the saliva pooling in his mouth.
"I’d love to learn a thing or two from you.”Simon is Ryland Grace's demisexual awakening. They're being real freaky about it, too.
Based on and inspired by this gorgeous art by ollicrillix.

Summary
Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

Ave Maria by nopaintjustpain
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
"There's no need to negotiate for your safety, Doctor Grace," Stratt says sternly. "I can assure you, after saving the world, you will be looked after."
"Um, no," he says, shaking his head. "I'm not negotiating for my safety." He steps aside. “I’m negotiating for theirs.”
They walk into the light of the open doorway; Simon, squinting hard against the vivid sun with his hand raised to shield his eyes and Rocky, who chirps a casual "Hello, humans!" with a wave.
There’s a gasp; someone takes a step backward; one of the military personnel raises their rifle slightly before Stratt makes a sharp gesture for them to stand down.
Grace doesn’t have eyes for them - he only looks at Stratt.
And he decides, then and there, to replace the image of Stratt’s face sending him to his death, full of remorse and sadness, with the one in front of him: utter, complete disbelief.
Grace thinks he'll treasure it forever.or: rocky and grace (+simon) go to earth instead of erid

Summary
There is not much these days that would surprise Ryland Grace, an expert on oceanic biology and one of the world's leading figures in marine genetics. Or so he thought, until his entire world is shaken by the biggest marine discovery in the past century; Merfolk are real. Or, to be precise, at least one of them is. Grace is looking right at him.
In all his life, Grace has never seen something, no, someone so breathtaking. He doubts he ever will again. Suddenly, he finds himself indescribably protective of this creature, this man, captive in front of him. The world is not ready to witness someone like him—nor could it ever deserve to.
Or about how Simon is a bloodnymph and Grace is a little monster-loving freak first, and a scientist second.
