like thunder in summer (without warning, you were there) by shrimpheaven
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
15 May 2026

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.

Design Thinking for Everyday Life by lyricl

Summary
"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.”

Summary
Ryland then turns his attention back down to your poor, overworked legs. And after a moment of awkward shuffling from foot to foot in front of you, his hands clenching and unclenching beside his thighs — he must ultimately decide that this is a task best performed from a different angle.
You nearly choke on your own sharp inhale when he sinks to his knees before you, widened eyes following his every move.
"What're you-?"
"Can I give you a massage? Please?"OR: you accidentally push yourself a little too hard during a workout, thankfully Ryland is there to ease your aches.

Summary
The data on the Ringo probe is just a little different from the others, and when she investigates, Eva Stratt is privy to the last, and most treasured, messages from Ryland Grace.
———
In other words, Eva watches Grace fall in love from across the galaxy.

pilot study (knowledge gaps) by Anonymous
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.

All in the Name of Science! by Gnurbot

Summary
I've been trying to rationalize it. Tell myself it's just scientific curiosity. I mean, Rocky and I are the only human-Eridian research team in existence. It makes sense that I'd want to understand his biology more completely. Document everything for posterity. Fill in the gaps in our xenobiological knowledge.
That's a perfectly reasonable scientific motivation.((Alternatively: The One Where They Cum Into a Dish Together))

Rocky needs help with releasing some dominant energy, Grace helps... he thinks. If being pitiful and humping Rocky's leg is helpful, of course.

All Great and Precious Things by otherhawk

Summary
Rocky spent decades alone, further from home than any of his kind had ever been, mourning his friends and knowing that his whole world was counting on him to save them when he had no idea how. No matter what species you are that kind of trauma leaves a mark. Grace tries his best to help.

Summary
How do you explain sexual arousal to a guy whose species doesn't experience it? Whatever the case, Ryland Grace is definitely not the right person for the job.
Unfortunately, a hands-on demonstration might be in order.

love, leaking, and other perks of being a space blob by blackeyedblonde

Summary
“Grace ever make love with other humans on Earth, question?” Rocky asks one morning when they’re just finishing up a modest breakfast in the Hail Mary dormitory.
Ryland nearly spits out his mouthful of pb&j but valiantly manages to swallow. “Why are you asking me this right now, dude?” he asks, voice still thick with peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth. “No lead-in or anything, jeepers creepers.”

Summary
He shuddered when Grace's fingers tapped the glass panes of xenonite that separated them one afternoon, or as afternoon as their journey home would ever allow. His tone was playful, and Rocky braced himself from where he was meshing two panes of xenonite together. They really did have more important things to focus on. “Hypothetical: When we get back to Erid-”
“If Grace and Rocky ever get back to Erid-”
“-you’re saying I’m basically gonna be a walking porno for your race?”
Rocky placed down his soldering iron. “Doesn't Grace have taumoeba tanks to check temperatures for?”

and at different frequencies (we make different patterns) by fizzyren

Summary
He’s actively stepping around Rocky, stepping over him, and heading towards the other end of the lab, cabinets and rows of samples. He could find something else here to look at, check up on the Taumoeba farms…
Except, he doesn’t even make it to the threshold to cross the hallway of the ship. His feet stop. A complete, precise standstill.
Rocky had chittered at him, a short burst of notes, monosyllabic in Eridian despite the layers of chords. He registered it not as any word, yet the command still struck.
Stay.
Heeled. Like a dog.
And it wasn’t by any doing of Grace’s own decision making.

Summary
“Humans will pack bond with anything, y’know,” I say. “It’s actually kind of embarrassing.”
“Everything human Grace does is embarrassing. Need definition.”
“Pack bonding?”
“Yes.”
“Sharing affinity with and building collaborative relationships and even unbreakable bonds with other species or things. Human kids will humanize or anthropomorphize rocks and take them as pets, for example."
“Grace.”Or: Punch drunk midnight conversations aboard the Hail Mary.

Within the tight quarters of the Hail Mary, misunderstandings, arguments, and accidents are bound to happen. It's especially unfortunate when all three happen at once.

rocky mate bad as hell, statement by pleniluneheron
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
Grace is always asking me about my mate. “What was he was like when he was young? How did you both meet? What does he act like when I’m not around?” Slightly invasive, personal questions, all of which I find myself answering without hesitation.
I try to hold back my excitement. It becomes rather clear to me that “best friends” must mean something slightly different for humans.

Summary
“Grace so good to Rocky,” Rocky trills lowly. “Good, good, good.” Christ, he sounds borderline seductive.
“Um, thanks, Rock,” Grace manages to choke out, his voice strangled. He feels lightheaded. Maybe there’s something wrong with the oxygen.

Summary
Apparently, Ryland Grace's existence as a low temperature, oxygen breathing lifeform is the dream of Erid's fringe theory xenobiologists. Good for them. He's not jealous.
