Summary
"I’m never going to be touched again.
There’s something so brutal about the sheer simplicity of the fact. There’s nothing complicated about it. I’m not going home, and Rocky and I have incompatible atmospheres. Simple as that. Nothing to be done."
--
En route to Erid, Ryland gets extremely touch-starved and tries to hide it. Rocky is concerned and wants to help. Breakdowns and miscommunications ensue.

I don’t need all my memories back to know that home is wherever I’m with Rocky. I knew that when I turned around for him. Maybe I even knew it when we said goodbye for the first (and last) time.

I'm Ryland Grace - AMA by sly_as_an_alpaca

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

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 series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)
Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.[This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

"Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.
And there was a needle coming towards me.
Wait."
...Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

The Wire Mother by nopaintjustpain

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.

Teaching a Tone-Deaf Wet-Faced Human How to Sing-Share by theyhavenotyetinventedawordforwhatiam
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
23 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Rocky has officially moved into Hail Mary with Grace, but he's still dealing with the aftereffects of living nearly fifty human years by himself. By chance, he finds himself singing with Grace, and it's clear Grace doesn't fully understand what that means for Eridians.
This story roughly follows the plot of both the book and the film, but Rocky and Grace's personalities are more reminiscent of the book. Furthermore, Rocky's speaking style closely follows the book, although his physical appearance is closer to his depiction in the film.

Summary
He’s been working very hard on something he refuses to show me, says it’s for my birthday. The first time Rocky said that, even I had forgotten it was coming up to that time in a couple of Earth months. I questioned how he even knew when it was but apparently I leave my calendar open a lot on one of the sixteen laptops the Mary is stocked with. So.
In any case, birthdays aside, he won’t tell me what the darned thing is!
On their lengthy trip to Erid, Rocky works on a birthday present for his best friend as Grace continues to grapple with his dwindling food supplies and the heavy burden of his memory loss.

"Please proceed to the treatment area," Mary repeats.
"My ankle is broken! I can't walk!" I shout.
"Please proceed to the treatment area."
"Bring the treatment area over here!"
She's silent for a second longer than usual. It fills me with a brief, fleeting hope. "Please proceed to the treatment area."
"Screw you, Mary."
(Or: Grace breaks his ankle. It's bad.)

Stolen Sympathy for All My Worst Mistakes by Huntress8611

Summary
We're almost at Erid. I have to tell him before we get in range of whatever radio-equivalent they use. He deserves to know, to have the chance to tell everyone before I land. He should know I’m a coward before he convinces his planet to funnel all their resources into keeping me alive.
I've thought it through so many times, in the years since I remembered.
‘Hey Rocky, I need to tell you something.’
‘Hey Rocky, you know how you always call us brave? Well…’
‘Hey Rocky so the actual reason I had amnesia when I met you was because I said no when they asked me to save my planet even though I was the only qualified candidate and they forced me to and I said if they sent me I'd kill everyone by sabotaging the mission so Stratt gave me some insane amnesia drug.’
Not exactly a conversation anyone wants to have ever, let alone with their roommate in a ship with no escape. Not something anyone wants to hear from the person they're relying on to save their people, either.
