waves in guilt-like sand by fishygills
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
18 Jun 2026

Summary
Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.
“Grace ok, question?”
“…no bud. I’m not.”
“…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”
Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.
“Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”
Or
There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.

The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known by SerotoninShift

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY

-
Frank stutters to his feet, swaying like he’s six gins in, but he doesn’t have time for that goddamn shit right now. He starts to move, and his vision is still narrowed, a horse close to spooking. Except he’s spooked. He’s goddamn spooked. His heart is bleeding out his ears.Frank knows he has to get there, and he starts climbing down, and what he wouldn’t give for that parkouring asshole to be here right now, so he could get to the island in seconds instead of the unearthly amount of time it’s gonna take him. He hates this congested city, and all the fucking people everywhere, and he’s moving faster than he has in a long time.
Everyone is running and crying and recovering, and he slams through the emergency door in the station and sets off the alarm. It bangs around in his head and sets his thoughts on fire worse than they already were.
He watches him drop. Over and over again, like a doll hitting the floor.

Summary
Frank is on top of him, and he looks terrifying. Blood and pieces of something - no, someone - are smeared in his hair, and his eyes are too big, his pupils blown wide.
“Frank?” Peter’s voice cracks.
Frank blinks and the terror on his face is replaced with fury. “You little shit,” he sneers. “You take a hit for me again, and I’m going to beat your ass!”
...
Peter and Frank weren’t fast friends. No, this is a relationship years in the making.

Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.
Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.

Curiosity kills by Soowshie

Summary
Something was standing above his towel.
No… someone.
They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.
Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.
He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.
They were tall. Too tall.
That wasn’t Rocky.
OR
Grace receives an unexpected visitor one night in his home on Erid.

Summary
Something is wrong.
Something is going on, I don’t know what it is, and Rocky is absolutely zonked out and can’t even give me ‘words of encouragement’. My hands tighten in my hair as I try to stop their shaking, but the white-knuckled grip is only making it worse.
I should really, really get some sleep.
Grace finds out why you shouldn't stay awake for 305,600 seconds.

Rocky shifted in his ball. “No understand shake on it.”
“Oh, it’s an expression. It means let’s grab each other’s hands and shake them up and down. Human custom.”
Rocky almost balked. “Both hands, together?”

Summary
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

Summary
“Always so leaky,” I tease him, good-naturedly, and he lets out a wet chuckle. His smile remains after it; I could spend my entire life cataloguing the minuscule differences in all of his smiles, and what those differences mean, and it wouldn’t be long enough to discover all of them.
I used to find the expression unsettling, the way he bared his teeth at me— The knowledge that I used to do such a thing sits in the back of my mind like an ancient relic. I cannot understand why I ever felt that way. I just know I did.
“It looks great, buddy,” he says, his voice a soft, wavering thing. Much like in my imagination once more, he bends down on his knees. “Come here.”
I don’t need a second invitation.
I throw myself in his arms with as much enthusiasm as I dare to use without risking hurting him. I’m fully aware of how much heavier and stronger than him I am. How easy it would be, for me, to shred through his soft, defenseless body as if he is no more than a feeble little prey.
I do not. I never will. I’m always careful, and always will be. I already hurt him once, I can see the sign of it on his arm, like a brand, and one time is already more than I am willing to accept.

Do You Know What it is to be Loved by the Universe? by VenetaPsi

Summary
‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’
‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.
---
Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.
‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’
---
Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

Summary
The intruder enters the kitchen slowly, limbs held low to the ground. Their carapace tilts from side to side as they draw near, fixing their auricles on me.
The xenosuit they have on looks cobbled together, almost experimental. It’s not see-through like my team’s suits are. It wasn’t designed with my light detectors in mind. Instead, it’s dark and opaque, and not at all helping to dispel the impression of a masked burglar in my home.
I’ve never seen that body language in person before, but I understand it on an instinctual level. Eridians are the apex predators of their planet. It’s a hunting stance, and I am the prey.
or: Grace experiences a home invasion on Erid.

Summary
Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.- Language:

never let rocky watch movies with love triangles because again. he'll just keep saying, "when in doubt, poly it out."
