sedated (drag me away from this) by mockiery
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

Summary
The first time he feels the terror, he doesn't understand why. As he barely hangs onto consciousness, the soft silicon presses against his face, enveloping his nose and mouth. The spark of terror catches fire in his chest and quickly spreads across his body. It ignites a screaming inferno within his skull. He forces his eyes open. Everything is red. There's shapes above him. Pure oxygen fills his airways, stale and clinical and familiar and wrong.
Grace's memories of his unwilling medical sedation and forced sacrifice return, vivid and violent. Later, on the journey back to save Rocky, he has night terrors. The thin lines between consciousness, unconsciousness, memory, and nightmare blur.Bookmarked by mana_chique

Summary
Grace has trouble sleeping, but thankfully Rocky is there, willing to help.
Set between Chapter 2 and 3 of one of my other works, He Wears the Rose of Youth Upon Him.
"Thanks for tucking me in. I feel as snug as a bug in a rug.”
Huh? None of that made any sense. “Is being bug good or bad?!” I stomp twice in question.
Grace laughs. “Sorry sorry. Right now, it’s good. It’s just a bit strange. Tucking someone in is a bit of a parental action for humans, and normally it’s only done for little kids. I don’t mind. If I’m honest, it’s pretty nice. It feels like you're taking care of me.”
Good Good Good. It means less confusion when my actions mean the same thing for Eridians as it does for Humans. “Correct! Rocky always take care of Grace. Always always always.”

Summary
Grace is having a very difficult time on the Journey to Erid. When Rocky finds out exactly how bad of a time Grace is having, he will do everything in his power to help.
“Grace try treatment. Try try try. Please.”
How can someone without any eyes at all still give such strong puppy dog eyes? I just want to stop hurting my best friend. “Sure Rock.”
“Rocky Grace try treatment. If treatment not work, then.” Rocky shudders one more time. “Then Grace do dangerous sleep.”

Summary
"You…" Rocky's voice is uncharacteristically hesitant. It honestly throws me off. "You not like other Rocky's Grace."
I flick my eyes to him. "What?"
"I say, you not like other Rocky's Grace."
"No, I heard you," I go back to playing solitaire in want of something better to do, but I can barely focus on the screen. "Why do you say that?"
"…Other Rocky show Rocky earth media," he starts, and alright, I'm already worried.
OR: So, you meet alternate versions of yourself. Big deal. At least they aren't having nightmares in the same room as you, or anything.

Ave Maria by nopaintjustpain
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
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.

Summary
Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.
She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.
But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.
OR; The beetles make it home.

Summary
When I first woke up, I couldn’t see anything. It took several long seconds to realize that the reason I couldn’t see wasn’t because I’d gone blind, but because there was a black bag on my head.
Which. Was not reassuring.
While starving to death on Erid, Grace remembers some things that he’d really rather forget.BTHB: captivity

Summary
His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.
He realizes it's just the right size for him.
---
The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.

Project Long Shot by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
26 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.
Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. And they're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.
OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?
(This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)

To Fix by RandomPerson83338

Summary
“Grace. What are you testing, question?”
Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.
“CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.
“Purpose, question?”
Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.
Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3
THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

Summary
"Grace, question?” Rocky says from his tunnel.
“Yeah?” I peek my head up, wiping nonexistent dust off my pants. The storage compartment was almost completely sterile, but I needed something to do with my hands.
“All okay, question?” There’s a slight quiver in the notes of his voice that I’ve come to recognize as hesitance.
“Of course, buddy.” I laugh disbelievingly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Ryland finds Yao’s gun and he is perfectly normal about it, thank you very much. He’s only been stuck in the same environment eating the same meals everyday for a year now. He’s fine.

“Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?”
“Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”

Summary
" “I’m not a child,” he tells her, his voice somehow both slurred and raspy, and sounding very much like a child even to his own ears.
“Yes, you are,” Hermione replies. Her voice isn’t mean. It isn’t even her usual bossy tone. It is soft. Sad. "--
A study of Hermione and Harry's relationship, starting with Harry's coping (or lack thereof) with Umbridge's detentions in 5th year. Part 3 of the "The Sun Also" series but can be read on its own just fine, if you prefer.

Summary
Peter jolts awake when the plane taking his class home flies just close enough to a flock of birds to suck two of them into the engines. He’s barely registered their startled squawks—possibly pigeons? do they even fly this high?—before a sickening thunk reverberates through his chest, metaphorically, and through the birds’ chests, very literally. The plane is fine, barely even registering the impact.
Peter is not.

Summary
After attempts to escort Harry to safety fail and he ends up in a cell in Malfoy Manor, all seems lost. No one is more surprised than Harry when his dead parents show up to keep him company.
After GoF, starts going AU from OotP's chapter three.
//On indefinite hiatus, possibly abandoned. My excitement for HP has unfortunately died, and you may be able to guess why. Trans rights are human rights!
If anyone wants to finish it themselves, go ahead. I'd love to read it. I have absolutely no idea what my 2014 self had in mind for the fic anyway.
