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
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

“But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”
“No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.”
–
Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

i want us both to eat well by peglarpapers

Summary
“Not so strange,” Rocky says mildly. “Back in not-so-distant past Eridian eat other Eridian all the time. Top of food chain. After natural disaster, war, not so much else to eat. Ecosystem delicate, especially if carnivore, especially if big. 🎵🎶 good thing to have to fall back on.”
“Cannibalism,” I manage to get out.
“New word. Cannibalism.”

Summary
You have to sign a waiver to ride the mechanical bull at Willie's. At face value this is so the establishment doesn't risk getting sued for any too-drunk idiots breaking an arm or leg or collarbone from getting thrown, but in reality it is so you can spend a minimum of five minutes filling out tedious paperwork and really, really thinking on what you're about to do. Ryland becomes less and less sure that the possibility of a double double with fries and- according to Marissa- a "gay little" strawberry shake is worth it with every box of personal information he completes, but while he is historically a quitter and a weenie and extremely happy to not do something if he really doesn't want to, he also knows that if he walks back to his best friend now she will never let him live this down.
Boy meets bull. Boy takes bet. Boy learns that college really is all about discovery.

Summary
I hated how silent the house was without him. Earlier in my life I would have said I hated superfluous noise. That was before the UNESCO conference and my downfall and subsequent rebuilding of an entire existence. Before Rocky bulldozed his way into my life.
I could say then, after 3 years of dating and 2 of marriage, that I just hadn’t found noise I liked before him.
- Or -
Grace adores seeing his husband be successful in his career. He loves the work trips a lot less.
Now Rocky is being sent out of town for three weeks and Ryland is dealing with it as best he can.Series

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.

The Greatest Act of Optimism by Acewithapaintbrush
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
30 Apr 2026

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
The bed is too large, and the pillow on the left is undented, and the particular quality of silence in the room has that specific texture to it, the one that means alone, the one he has become, over these years of marriage and shared space and accumulated warmth, almost embarrassingly unaccustomed to.
He wonders when Binghe will return.
Or: After years of marriage, Shen Qingqiu has forgotten how to be alone. So when Luo Binghe finally comes home from the demon realm and immediately drowns himself in paperwork, Shen Qingqiu—who has been quietly starving for his husband’s attention—does the only logical thing. He sits himself down in Binghe’s lap and refuses to move. Binghe continues writing. Shen Qingqiu finally gets some peaceful sleep.
