Summary
I don’t know what I expected him to dive into first in the gift of all human knowledge. I definitely wasn’t expecting his obsessive curiosity with sex toys.

Summary
Ryland Grace saved Earth, he saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.
Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.
But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.
or Grace learning to be an Eridian
☀︎ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ◎
For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
“Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
Because, well—
This might be the last time I ever cried.
“No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
“Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
“Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
“Still no understand humor.”- Language:

lab three by YourMinecraftBoyfriend
Fandoms: Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types, Project Hail Mary (2026)
15 Sep 2026
Tags
Summary
Both of his hands formed an 'L', then he touched opposite forefingers to opposite thumbs. Next, he raised three fingers, then pointed his thumb behind himself.
'Lab three after this?'
On the other side of the room, separated by a xenonite barrier and two parties of very professional first contact volunteers, one of the smaller Eridians was subtly shifting back and forth. Grace absolutely wasn't listening to what the rest of their two crews were saying, but the last time he tuned in, they'd been discussing trade negotiations and resource allowances. Important stuff he was sure, but his mind was singularly focused on the 'experiments' he and the Eridians' third engineer were conducting.
____
Grace and Rocky are both nonessential members of their respective species' first contact teams. While under strict orders to not engage with their new interstellar neighbors until negotiations are further underway, the two of them strike up a friendship, and might end up getting along a little too well.Bookmarked by exuberantoctopus

Summary
I snort. It's plain he's just being facetious, but I call him out on his bull-puckey anyway. "Me?! You're the one who threw the first punch—er, pillow—here, buddy!"
I try yet again to squirm out from under his grasp, but he holds firm, the hand on my bicep restraining me just that much tighter. My face feels strangely hot—must be from the heat of Rocky's body permeating through the suit. But why the heck is my heart beating so fast?
"Because Grace become sleep dumb, obvious," Rocky dismisses. His musical trills have pitched down into a low, vibrating thrum that reverberates across every point of contact between us. I shiver at the sensation, at the way I'm pinned there, at the heavy, warm weight of Rocky's body pressed against mine. My pulse quickens further, blood rapidly rushing both to my face and down south to my—
Oh God.
…or:
The one where Grace is acting Strange™️ and Rocky uses the scientific method to deduce why.Series

Tags
Summary
"Eridians and humans both love. Big emotion. Complicated, confusing, different. Not always easy to find right word. But ultimately still love. Maybe okay if confusing. Maybe okay if not understand completely. Maybe okay if not know right category. No other relationship like Grace and Rocky. So maybe no other love like Grace and Rocky." He pauses for a long moment, thinking, debating with himself. Finally he just scoots closer, and leans on his friend a little more. "I think is enough to just say, Rocky loves Grace."
OR: Ryland Grace and Rocky are not platonic, not romantic, not even a secret third thing. They are a unique undefinable infinitieth thing. They gradually figure this out through hugs and other gross leaky human activities.

He points at himself again. I inhale unsteadily.
"♫♪♩♫♩♩♫♪♬."
[Rocky,] the computer says in a nondescript monotone. My breath escapes in a rush.
He points at me. "♩♩♩."
[Grace.]
My hands tremble. I bark out a "yes!" Rocky warbles and does jazz hands; I do them back with tears in my eyes.✦ ✦ ✦

Summary
Grace had joked, occasionally, that they were a liquid and I was a solid, two completely different states of matter; it was a joke because it was an exaggeration, an overstatement. In reality, Grace had bones and teeth, and I had blood and steam, but we both enjoyed the pretense that we were more different than we were. It reminded us that our new friendship was something rare, something strange and special. Grace called themself a blob and called me a hunk of granite (a great insult that I was saving to use again on Erid), or they called themself a water balloon and called me a little mountain, or themself a puddle and me a pile of rocks: and they tilted at me, the human mouth tilt they called a smile, and that tilt always made me think again, lovingly, about the enormous odds against us ever having met.
Stone and water, water and stone. That comparison, even as a joke, never failed to ring a bell deep inside of me. Because I would think about erosion, about the long slow beat of water against rock, and I would think about how the rock was always, in the end, consumed.

Summary
When he gets to Erid, Grace tells himself, he can beg and plead for an Eridian anatomy textbook so he can finally scratch the burning itch under his skin.
It's only another two years. He can live with not knowing something for another two years. And by the time they arrive, he’ll have much more to worry about than finding out why a rock needs to wear clothes.

Summary
Rocky is approximately half of Grace’s impulse control at this point, on top of being the only thing that’s kept him alive. When Grace needed to start thinking about more food, it was Rocky who suggested he breed taumoeba. When Grace needed vital nutrients, it was Rocky who suggested they look into the coma slurry.
When Grace needed something to hold, to remind him he was not alone, he was not dead, and he was not dreaming — it was Rocky who gave him something to cling to.
or: grace and rocky get to erid, but things are more complicated than expected.

Do You Know What it is to be Loved by the Universe? by VenetaPsi
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026), Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types
21 Jul 2026

Summary
‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’
‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.
---
Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.
‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’
---
Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

Summary
“Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”
[YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]
-----------------------------------------------------------
or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if somehow you accidentally proposed to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you also notoriously suck at close interpersonal relationships (and also you have permanent memory damage)? What then?

Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
A coldness was leaking down his spine and the back of his neck tingled. It was the same burst of fear he got when he was a child, seeing a black, spindly spot move on the other side of the shower curtain.
The same fear he felt when he first saw Rocky on the other side of the tunnel wall.
"♩♬♫♫♩ with Adrian many times. Rocky very good pursuing ♬♫♬♫♪. Can scare Grace, question?"
____
Grace inadvertently agrees to play an Eridian hunting game. Between his emerging feelings for his alien roommate and the fact that he'd been constantly afraid for months on end, it gets a little stranger and more intense than he expected.Bookmarked by exuberantoctopus
