    Summary

    “A staggering waste of carbon” is the insult that blacklisted Dr. Grace’s entire career. Worried he may repeat that behavior with other scientists and derail progress on Project Hail Mary, Stratt questions Grace on what caused him to react so harshly.

    She just never expected this traumatic of a reason behind it.

    Summary

    I saw a couple Tumblr posts about how Stratt would first react to Grace's video logs when the beetles are recovered, and I started having ideas.
    So here's Stratt watching Grace's video logs. (mostly made up by me ofc but includes some direct quotes of the logs he makes in the movie)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace knows his time is coming.

    Worst of all, Ryland thinks Rocky knows it, too.

    But... there might be another way for him to keep living.

    ("So," Ryland says, hands clasped on the table. “An artificial body, huh?”

    “Yes.” Rocky sounds concerned. “We went over this, Grace.”)

    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

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace finally returns to Earth, it's 2085, and the one person he wants to speak with more than anyone else has been dead for twelve years. In her stead, he receives an email, a desperate request for a meeting with Eva Stratt's surviving family. As it turns out, Grace isn't the only one that needs closure.

    Or, Grace finds himself tangled up with Eva Stratt's adopted daughter and her thirteen-year-old child.

    Summary

    Grace has awoken with body sores, a stuffy but runny nose, and lungs tightened by illness. He groans, throwing an arm over his eyes to shield them from the minimal bio-dome illumination. A migraine pounds wildly in his skull despite his efforts to reduce the pain. He inhales sharply but the breath of air slams into him like a bullet. How does one get sick in a specially made bio-dome, free of contaminants and hazard? He should've known better than to let himself get lured into that freezing ocean. Damn Rocky's taunting abilities.

    OR

    Grace wakes up sick and slightly delirious. Rocky doesn't understand colds, but tries to fix it anyway, albeit wreaking a little havoc on Grace's mental wellbeing in the process.

    Summary

    “I'm good. Just have a slight headache,” Grace muttered, knowing he wasn’t fooling Rocky by insisting he was totally and completely fine, “Gonna get some medication in me, lay down for a few minutes, then I’ll be right as rain.”

    “Grace said body was good. Head pain was not mentioned. Rocky no understand rain statement; explain, question?”

    Rocky rolled behind Grace as he started back toward the medbay, resigned to his fate as another pulse of pain shot through his skull. He tried to shake it off, clearing his throat, “Right as rain means…uh, ‘good as new,’ I guess? Does that make sense?”

    He stumbled over a discarded jumpsuit on the floor, hissing when his already bruised knees dug into the metal floor. God, he was really stupid like this, huh?

    “Grace wrong as rain now.”

     

    (Grace has a migraine, Rocky helps as best as he can.)

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace visits Rocky's ship, he regains a memory that shatters his entire worldview. He is not who he's led himself--or Rocky--to believe that he is.

    He's a coward.

    And he's terrified of how Rocky will react when he finds out.
