Summary
Once again, the star, planets, dwarf planets, and moons are summoned under an invitation to watch the next Earthling creation. This time, however, they are joined by an actual Earthling. And they are not so much 'watching' as they are 'listening'.
While the reluctant Astrodude is just trying to get through this new barrier standing between him and the end of his mission to go home to his wife and son, the rest of the Solar System is dealing with their own uncomfortable relations to the songs they are being presented with.
Set after the third in this series, 'Reacting to 'Deadliest Pattern in Nature'.

Summary
A few of the footsteps of what goes unseen in the main story.
A collection of smaller bits that either didn't make the cut for Down to Earth chapters, or parts I wanted to write but had nowhere to put them.
(Updates at random, reliant of my free-time to edit the cut scraps into legible chapters!)

Summary
Waking up on the surface of Earth was bad enough.
Waking up as a squishy Earthling was worse.
And waking up as an Earthling that both does not exist and also posses a threat to the dominant Life on the planet was outright disastrous.The planets and a selection of moons have all found themselves in the bodies of dragons, stuck on the surface of a planet they have little knowledge of how to survive on. With the vague goal of reaching the North Pole with everyone alive and intact, the group will have to contend with some of the hardest challenges the surface can throw at them. All while avoiding the notice of the humans, who will surely hunt them down or capture them as threats or curiosities.
(Unrelated to my other fics. Set after the exile of Ganymede and Europa.)
Updates will be random, sorry.Series

Neptune has always had a strange memory.
Shifting and disappearing much like the planet himself.
It's not a problem, really.
...even if sometimes it is.(7 vaguely connected snapshots of Neptune and his memory.)

Reacting to 'Deadliest Pattern in Nature' by SilverPeahen

Summary
This time, the star, planets, dwarf planets, and moons are summoned under a far more expected invitation to watch the next Earthling creation. This one, however, is a bit more focused on the living world himself, as they follow through time to see the worst extinctions of his beloved life forms.
While the Earth is not exactly thrilled about this, the addition of a few ghosts from a past he still doesn't know the full picture of may take this from merely embarrassing to outright weird.
Set after the second in this series, 'Reacting to 'Universe'.

Roche Limit by spektrewrites (BadForTheHeart)

Summary
Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.
As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?Bookmarked by SilverPeahen

Summary
"...it physically hurt everything in him to even just lay on his side without imagining what it would be like to have another human next to him.
Because the eridians could do every damn thing for him, but they couldn't come closer to him than the xenonite wall would allow."
A very long drawn fic about Grace dealing with the crushing loneliness of being the only human on Erid.

Summary
It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…- Language:
