Summary
Softly, you admitted, "It reminds me of us, a little. Sometimes I wonder if our meeting was fate. If it was written in red, somewhere in the stars."
"Red," I repeated. "Like astrophage."
If our meeting was truly written in the red of astrophage, then it would mean that the stars started dying for us—that the entire galaxy mourned for them by singing a dirge, and it was loud enough to be heard in the vast silence of the Big Nothing.
Perhaps the universe was torn in two a long time ago and is trying to pull the broken halves back together. For everything comes from stardust, from planets and moons to humans and Eridians. For across trillions of miles' worth of space and billions of years' worth of time, we existed at just the right parameters to have met each other. Then, perhaps the universe made me to love you, and perhaps the universe made you to be loved.
Perhaps that is what you call fate.
Or: Grace confesses his love. Rocky struggles to do the same, though not for the reasons you might think.

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 you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

“I suppose what it comes down to is when you sleep, you trust me so much that I could do anything to you. And you’d let me.”
His claw tugs. Grace moans. Every heart in Rocky sings.
“Good,” Rocky says. “You’ll sleep now.”

Summary
In a misguided attempt to quell Ryland Grace’s loneliness by wingmanning him across the galaxy and into the five arms of some theoretical Eridian babe, Rocky might accidentally kind of realize that he really doesn’t want that to happen at all. At least, not with just any nonspecific theoretical Eridian babe. More like one very specific extant Eridian babe.
aka: the “split or swallow” AU that no one asked for, ft. Eridian Sex Ed 301, 303, and 305H, taught by one Rocky to a single, starry-eyed human student.

Summary
“No.” Rocky said, cutting Grace off. “Grace big.” His carapace did a slow tilt in a very pointed ‘look down’ kind of motion.
Grace swallowed hard and looked away from Rocky with another laugh, albeit more awkward and forced than before as he reached for the pipette.
“That’s kinda something you’re supposed to pretend you haven’t noticed, pal.” He said stiffly and adjusted his weight on the chair. Maybe if he just silently acknowledged and made peace with how pink his face was it would go away.

pilot study (knowledge gaps) by deervsheadlights
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
07 May 2026
Tags
Summary
To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.
Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.
Or: The sex
pollenamoeba fic you (never) asked for.Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.

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.

"So how humans pick partner?"
"Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”
“Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

Nanami Kento is a thrice-cheated on, once-divorced tired head of finance in his forties. Although he just wants to be left alone, his boss decides to foist upon him the task to mentor one Gojo Satoru in the hopes that he will quit. Gojo, meanwhile, sees only opportunities and is determined to show this exhausted man a good time (and perhaps some love too).

Summary
This couldn’t be the same Gojo.
It’s the hollows beneath his eyes that don’t crinkle in amusement, but remain flat. It’s the harsh lines beside his mouth, the suspicion in every crease. Hands in his pockets when the palms used to face him, open like his smile was.
It makes him uncomfortable.
A curse sends Kento back to ten years ago. Navigating a world which he'd left behind is dizzying, but meeting an eighteen-year-old Gojo is like experiencing vertigo. It seems Gojo was not fine being left behind by everyone either.
