Scary Sleep by constantconfusion14
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
Distantly, Grace recognizes what he's experiencing is either impossible or has already happened -- but it doesn't make the nightmare any easier to process. The science behind dreaming and nightmares is easy to explain to an Eridian. The emotional turmoil that comes with it is...not so much.

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.

"Grace sad, not good. I fix."
"… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."
"No robot," Rocky promises.
(Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)

Summary
"That evening had set the precedent for his contact with Martin: follow his lead, don’t ask for more. So, when they settled in for the first night in the safehouse, when Jon had climbed into bed next to Martin he left a little space between them. Easy enough to cross."
"But he didn’t."
Martin hasn't made a single move to touch Jon since they've arrived at the safehouse, and Jon isn't going to ask for more than he's willing to offer, no matter how much it hurts.

Summary
“He’s like-" Martin squints somewhere between the bar and the emergency exit sign past Sasha's head. He thinks about Jon, and his stupid sweater vests and his stupid glasses, his stupid soft-looking hair and his stupid high cheekbones on his stupid handsome face that’s always scowling in a way that is — unfortunately — painfully attractive.
“A cactus.”
After Martin makes an off-handed comment to Tim and Sasha comparing Jon’s approachability to that of a cactus, Tim buys his one as a joke. Martin isn’t exactly amused (or so he says), but he’s always wanted to get into gardening, so he keeps it at his desk in the Archives. The place could use a little green, anyway.
Martin's POV from season 1 to season 4, using a cactus as an emotional focal point. Mainly focused on Jonmartin, but a good dose of season 1 friendship as well.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

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.

"Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.
And there was a needle coming towards me.
Wait."
...Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

Summary
Holland was so heartbreakingly obvious, Jack almost felt bad for him. Sometimes, the urge to take pity and swoop down—grab Holland by the tie, or the colorful lapel—and just plant one on him was almost too strong to bear.
But he couldn’t be sure whether Holland wanted him because he wanted him, or if it was because Jack was already there, steady and useful and safe. If it was only because of that, then it wasn’t worth the risk of losing the good thing they already had going, no matter how much Jack wanted him, too.
previously titled “walk away with victory”!

Summary
A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.
Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.
Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

Summary
As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.
They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.
Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
Now they have to navigate all of... that.- Language:

Summary
“I don’t know how you do it, man.”
“How I do what?” Jackson’s eyebrows quirk as he stands up, tugging March with him. “Fight?”
“It’s exhausting,” March nods, and allows himself to be hauled to his feet. They’re standing near enough that their chests brush, and March sways toward Jackson a little when he’s vertical, wobbly with fatigue. “And it hurts.”
Jackson snorts. “Well, I know how to throw a punch without nearly breaking my goddamn hand, for one thing.”

Summary
March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.
Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.

“Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?”
“Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”

One unexpected benefit of Rocky's new xenonite suit is the discovery that Grace's panic is often soothed by Rocky's weight on his chest. It's come in handy during many nightmares and Rocky is ecstatic to have a new way to help. During Grace's latest nightmare, Rocky goes to put weight on his back to soothe him. It doesn't work. It really, really doesn't work.

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
Going back to save Rocky is, funnily enough, one of the easiest decisions Ryland Grace has ever made. However, once Rocky is aboard and tells him how grateful he is for Grace's sacrifice, Grace is blindsided by a feeling he hadn't expected.
Guilt.
