    Summary

    ♪So humans do not need to care about viruses, question?♪

    “Well… we do need to care a little. Some viruses cause more severe infections than others. Influenza, for example, is pretty inconvenient for most people. It can cause nausea, fever, nose leaking, aches, coughing, and more. It can even be deadly for people with weak immune systems, like children or the very old. We definitely take it seriously when someone vulnerable gets infected. Influenza is one of the diseases we vaccinate for. Who remembers what vaccination is?”

    The entire class raised their claws. Grace facepalmed.

    “Right, duh. Forget I asked.”

    ♪Cannot forget.♪ Someone chimed, eliciting several giggling thrills.

    OR

    Ryland Grace has an annoyingly short lifespan by Eridian standards. Rocky fix. Good thing the human came with a laptop full of all human knowledge.

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, and extra, extra worldbuilding.

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    Two-body problem: A problem of classical mechanics to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space.

    “Adrian, just a small warning: the Rocky that came back might not be the Rocky you know. It’s classified, but my friend is one of the comms specialist on the space elevator. They told me things. He acts… weird. He doesn’t sleep, and neglects the medical and psychological exams. I’m not sure he’s here, if you know what I mean."
    “Where is he, then?” Adrian’s musical notes come out discordant.
    “Wherever his human companion is stuck. If the alien dies, Rocky might never come down from the stars.”

    Summary

    Some things are supposed to stay private.

    For Eridians, heartbeats are not one of them.

    Rocky has data on Grace. Months of it. And the results are...significant.

    Ryland Grace really should stop being in love with his alien best friend. Unless he's prepared to have the worst — and best — time of his life.

    ~~~

    "Rocky analyze Grace heartbeat. Have months of data. The results are significant. Heart abnormalities correlate with Rocky interactions."

    I groan. Of course he analyzed my heart data! I'm not talking my way out of this. How could I, when it's my heart he can hear?

    "Extra information: Grace heart rate up by 18% when Rocky around."

    ~~~

    Update: Chapter 3 is out now! :)

    Summary

    “Hello?” I sing out. It comes almost naturally, scarily naturally.

    The man's head whips over toward me, and I feel like I’m going to throw up. I can see his face. His eyes and mouth are closed, and the features are still blurry, but that doesn't really matter.

    That's…

    Me.

    ~

    In which Rocky and Grace body swap and get to experience life as a completely different, new species :))

    Summary

    As their journey to Erid nears its end, Grace allows himself to feel hopeful about the future. The Hail Mary has survived far longer than she was ever intended to, Rocky is practically vibrating with excitement about returning home, and Grace has more or less managed to stave off the worst effects of malnutrition. Things seem to be going well.

    Until he wakes up one morning with a fever and a harsh cough and is granted a stark reminder of just how fragile his human body truly is.
