Summary
"What do you think happened, Captain?"
"Don't know. Don't care. Need coffee."
A pause. Then, "Do we wake Grace?"
"No."
"But—"
"No, Ilyukhina."
(Or: Ilyukhina and Yao wake up early due to a malfunction on the Hail Mary. They do what needs to be done—for the dying star they left behind and the only person who can save them all.)

Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”
“I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”
“Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”
“Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.
“♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

Summary
Rocky is up to something.
It probably won’t kill us—we’ve put far too much work into keeping each other alive for that—but every time I try to get closer to see what he’s doing, he acts like I’m trying to murder his firstborn or something and shoos me away so I don’t “ruin Grace surprise”. Jerk.

silence more musical than any song by hansdevice
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
04 Apr 2026

Summary
Hours later, Rocky wriggles awake. The pain has eased. His heartbeats have slowed. His cells are still functioning. There is no falling apart. He can hear the scritch-scratch of his five claws on Xenonite. He can hear the machines, humming their false song. He can hear the silent expanse of space. The distant stars. His friends, dead in the hull. And the building feeling, deep in every cell — every fibre of his body — that something is so incredibly wrong.
Rocky knows this disease. Exhaustion. And all alone in space, there is no cure.
It is a primal requirement that Eridians sleep only under the trusting gaze of their companions. Rocky spends forty-six years alone in space.

Summary
"Cos! Thank God you're alive, I thought my double act was about to become a single," Don said. "Where have you been?"
"In jail," Cosmo whispered back, "Happy birthday."
Don clapped him on the shoulder. "Thanks; you're a little late, but... in where?"
"Keep your voice down," hissed Cosmo, just as a hail of applause blew the curtain back and practically deafened him. "In jail."

Summary
The morning unfairly showed no early warning signs of disaster. The sun was simply pouring enthusiastically into the room, rather overdoing it in my opinion. The consequences of an evening sprung off by Foggy Moreland are not lightly shrugged away, he said with a hollow laugh.

Summary
The woman laughs, her eyes crinkling behind her silver cat-eye glasses. "You must be Eliot,” she says, cheerfully. “He warned me you were charming. Where is he?”
Eliot’s stomach drops as he realizes that this is a terrible fucking mistake, because this ain’t a random elderly woman showing up to collect cans or take up donations or whatever it is that elderly woman in weird fucking places like Portland do. This is Hardison’s nana, and Eliot has just opened the door to the apartment—to Hardison and Parker’s apartment—like he lives there.

Summary
It was Julian of all people who first worked it out.
“Do you know,” he said. “I think this baby can see me.”
“Don’t be stupid,” Alison said, but even she had to admit that Iris did seem to be following him with her eyes.
“You always get nutters saying their babies or their dogs see ghosts!” Julian said. “Maybe they’re not nutters after all.”
Sometimes a family is two parents, their baby and the ten ghosts that haunt their house. Scenes from one such family.
