    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

    During the journey to Erid, Rocky discovers that Grace is a deeply traumatized little who has spent his entire life hiding his classification and caring for himself. Rocky gradually becomes his caregiver, although Grace believes the arrangement is temporary. When they reach Erid, Grace expects Rocky to return to Adrian and leave him behind. Instead, Adrian welcomes Grace into their family, and an entire planet celebrates the strange, brilliant alien who saved Rocky and their sun.

    Or Grace is finally appreciated, hugged and loved in all the ways he always should have been, but in a Little/Caregiver setting. Because goddamit someone give this cutie patootie a hug

    Summary

    Grace is coming to the realization of what he might have gotten himself into, having grown up with only Earth media can really put a damper on the the whole 'getting to be an alien specimen' aspect of first contact with an alien species. the scientist in him is excited to teach all he can and participate in experiments! the other side knows what would have happened if he and Rocky went to Earth.

    or

    Grace cannot decide to be super excited or apprehensive to be going to Erid. Rocky can fix this!

    Summary

    When an object is under equal pressure from both the inside and out, it won't get crushed; it remains intact.

     

    Ryland and Rocky are on their way to Erid, trying to figure out how to solve the food problem when—
    Blip-B detected!
    And there, floating in the vast expanse of space, is a tree.
    “What the actual—?” I mumble.
    “What Grace see?” Rocky asks eagerly.
    “It’s a, um…” I zoom in on it, making sure it’s really what I’m seeing. It’s seriously a tree, a large maple tree. Without any soil, the roots drift as if tendrils underwater in the zero G. Just above the roots, the trunk is skewed, like it’s growing around something. The bark is red, the leaves dead, most branches bare.
    “It’s a tree,” I say. “Like, from Earth, kind of tree.”
    “Grace lying,” Rocky claims, skittering over to see for himself. Then, “Grace… not lying.”

     
    If you liked the book then this is the fic for you! There is lots of math and science! There are still some details from the movie too.

    Summary

    When Courtland Gentry was fifteen years old, he shot his father to protect his little brother. Everybody thought the boy deserved to go to prison, except for his old science teacher, Mr Grace who fought in vain to set him free.
    One day he disappeared without warning. Months later, the truth came out: Ryland Grace was one of the astronauts sent to Tau Ceti on a mission to save humanity from the Astrophage crisis. And Courtland was left behind, knowing that he'd be on his own for the rest of his life.

    Twenty-six years later, the impossible happened: Ryland Grace returned to Earth.
    Assigned to protect Grace from a doomsday cult determined to stop the upcoming Venus mission, Agent Sierra Six found himself facing a mission unlike any other before.
    Keeping Grace alive should be simple, keeping Six's feelings for the only man who ever believed in him a secret?
    Well, that might be more complicated.

    Summary

    After creating the Me burgers, Eridian scientists began to wonder... if they could create muscles, tissues, and other human cells... could they create a body?

    Summary

    This thing’s eye is bigger than my head. Grace frowned, puzzled at the last bit of wandering thought as he tried to make sense of that observation. It felt like he was being drugged once again, eyes struggling to translate the colors and lights. It would be so easy to close them instead, with the lack of pain or much of anything at all…

    It took an embarrassingly long time to understand what was right in front of his eyes. The lack of oxygen was admittedly getting to his brain and messing up with reason and fright but in his defense, it wasn’t every day that you found yourself face to face with a mountain-sized human.

    “Oh.” 

    It took him another second to realize the sound had slipped from his throat. 

    The man. He was looking at him

    Summary

    Sometimes part of your mind starts asking questions that, in all likelihood, no one else in the history of the universe has ever asked. Namely, what would happen if the Eridian students tagged along to Earth and enrolled in grad school. Then you look up a few months later when, oops, you have a document with six fanfics and 40k words.

    This may have gotten a bit out of hand.

    Featuring: Mark doing astrophage DIY on Mars, text messages with the Hail Mary, Ryland explaining how to choose a PhD advisor, Rocky holding an AMA, Eva's niece as a history professor, and Mindy being fluent in Eridian.

    Summary

    Simon has been living on Erid for a year. As far as the Eridians are concerned, Simon is just a normal regular guy. The eel teeth, the scales, the tree bark? All normal human things. Simon lets them believe it. What are they gonna do, check?

    Then Adrian’s mate arrives with another human in tow, and Simon’s panicking. If the savior of Erid thinks he’s a monster, if he leverages the debt Erid owes him to kick Simon out…

    Grace knows he’s a guest in this stranger’s home - Adrian made it very clear that said stranger is cagey around new people and if he asks Grace to leave, Grace has to go back on the Hail Mary until they can build him his own place. After four years crammed in a small space ship, Grace is desperate to be allowed to stay.

    There’s a miscommunication in there somewhere.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been home on Earth for four months. Earth is safe, Erid is Safe. Humanity survived. So why does he still feel stranded somewhere in the dark?

    Sleepless nights, panic attacks, and memories he can't escape make coming home harder than he ever imagined.

    Then his therapist mentions a former student: Mark Watney, the boy Ryland remembers as a sarcastic seventh grader who grew up to survive eighteen months alone on Mars.

    Maybe they have something to talk about.

    What begins as an email between a former teacher and his long-ago student becomes an unexpected friendship between two men who understand what it means to survive the impossible.

    And maybe, after all that distance, they've finally found a place to land.

    Summary

    It's a remarkable fluke that Earth has managed: sending one scientist into space on one-way trip only to discover him back in the solar system after three decades, and sending an entirely different astronaut for a circuit up to Mars and back just for disaster to strike and he's left stranded alone on the planet. Wilder still that the timelines align, and both space-farers end up on the same ship back home.

    Or:
    Project Hail Mary x The Martian crossover because the parallels go crazy and I needed to think thoughts that were not just spiraling about PHM so I rewatched The Martian and roped my other favourite scifi main character into it too. Featuring the dumbest fic title I have ever come up with.
