Summary
“Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.
“Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.
Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”
“You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.
or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

Five times Rocky helps keep Grace warm and one time he doesn’t have to (but does anyway).

There’s something warm shoved against him.
He creaks his eyes open.
Finds his quilt and Rocky.
Moves to drape the quilt around his shoulders and press his cheek against the xenonite ball.
Closes his eyes when he feels Rocky press against the ball too.
“Grace rest. Grace warm. Rocky here.”

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
‘Through the cotton that’s surely stuffed in his ears, he thinks he hears something. Music? It doesn’t sound like typical music, yet something about it makes him feel as though it’s trying to claw through the deep fog enveloping his brain. Something… familiar.
But he just can’t be bothered to dwell on it. Given the sheer fatigue trying to smother him, he’s surprised he even has the strength to breathe.’
Or: Grace struggles with starvation. In his brief bouts of clarity, he notices that he isn’t alone.

Summary
After the Hail Mary launches, the team erupts into celebratory cheers. Despite the gravity of the mission, it is a relief that months and months of work have finally culminated in a successful launch. Whether it will be a successful mission, they do not know, and they will not know for years to come. For now there is nothing to do but cheer and make plans for drinks, a bit of welcome levity in the non-stop stress of an incoming apocalypse.
Eva Stratt does not celebrate.

Summary
While traveling through deep space on the way back to Erid, Ryland Grace realizes through a bit of quiet, habitual astronomy that it must be Christmastime on Earth. The thought brings a gentle wave of homesickness. Rocky notices immediately and, determined to help, asks Ryland to explain what Christmas means rather than just what humans do. With sincere curiosity and very Eridian logic, Rocky attempts to recreate Christmas aboard the ship.

Summary
Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.
Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.

Summary
The deaf spot of all Eridians is silent, open air. A piece of the crumbling biodome’s ceiling finally snaps from its connection point and plummets. It falls towards the abandoned shore, unapologetic to anyone who may already be down there.
Rocky can’t realize something’s quickly approaching them until it’s far too late.
~~~~
Set hundreds of years after the end of the book, a case of wrong-place/wrong-time leads Rocky to a catch a glimpse of what and who might be waiting for them beyond.
(Rocky finally gets to see Grace again)

Summary
Sometimes, when he was alone and the silence was loud enough to amplify his thoughts, he could admit that he feared it. Feared touch. Feared sex. Feared intimacy and all it implied.
‘No’ had never meant anything when he was small.
Why would it mean anything now?

Help Me (To Understand) by sebastian2017

Summary
Meeting Grace, befriending them and moving aboard the Hail Mary, saving the stars together. It was the first time in many years Rocky had felt alive again. Grace had come to them from lightyears away, swooped in with the power to save Rocky's people, and made them whole again. A gift. Whether from the gods or the universe, it was irrelevant. How could anyone resist the gravitational pull that was Ryland Grace?

Adrian knows there's more going on between Grace and Rocky than what's been shared. If only Rocky could find the bravery to be honest.

Summary
“It’s different when I’m… looking at it. Thinking about it. Do I need to tell you again about the whole ‘taboo’ thing? I can go over it again.”
“And I watch you. We are already several layers deep into taboo.”
“I would be eating myself!”
“Grace,” I can’t help but stamp a claw for emphasis. It needs to listen,”your body is already eating itself.”

OrGrace finds out that he can stomach the meburger.
It’s not a happy moment!

past tense; in memoriam by jamais_vu0

Summary
“How far did he get?”
“Almost touched the fence,” Carl says.
“He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired.
“Past tense already?”
Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now.
(eva stratt has just kidnapped her second-in-command. eva stratt has just lost her closest friend.)
