    Summary

    I'm obsessed with Project Hail Mary and wrote these to deal with that. I've taken inspiration from the movie and book, but they make sense even if you've only seen/read one of the two. :)

    Summary

    “Yes, thank you! Great game! You’ve been playing in the NHL for over a decade now, but you had a promising career and options to play professional hockey in Russia. What made you choose the NHL all those years ago?” she asks, he freezes, only for a second. He glances to the left, finding his husband smiling at him.

    Summary

    Grace hadn't had a cycle since he was forced on the Hail Mary. Too much stress, too much to do in too little time, that his body refused any chance of getting pregnant. Ergo, no menstrual or ovulation cycle in sight. Until today, that is. (Grace is ovulating and horny. Rocky and Adrian fix.)

    Ryland Grace wakes up in space... and he's not alone.

    All three members of the Hail Mary wake up en route to the Tau Ceti system. One of them doesn't know who he is. All the answers they need are here for them to find, deep in interstellar space. They just don't know it yet.

    Summary

    After saving Grace and nearly dying in an alien atmosphere, Rocky lays an egg before going dormant.

    Turns out being isolated for years and then nearly dying will force biological imperatives onto injured Eridians, and this one leaves Ryland Grace utterly baffled.

    Aren't Eridians supposed to lay eggs in clutches? Only fused eggs are supposed to be viable, but when Grace accidentally touches the egg with his bare skin while trying to save it, that's apparently all the genetic fusion required for life to begin.

    Ryland Grace skips a few steps when it comes to making a baby, and I test the limits of Eridian biology.

    Summary

    "Grace upset?"

    "Not exactly, thinking some dumb human thoughts."

    Normally, an answer like this prompts a very nosy Rocky. This time, however, the Eridian lets it go.

    "Ah, yes. Leaky space blob thoughts. Will not interrupt. Come to lab once you are done."

    Grace watches him roll away, feeling like he's already losing Rocky. It's a dumb thought, but he's a dumb human, and it seems his dumb heart has come online for the first time ever.

    OR

    Grace catches Feelings with a capital F and believes he's alone in them. Rocky shows Grace he will never be alone again.

    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.

    Summary

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover a mysterious box. Upon opening it, the two discover some strange changes. Well, perhaps way more than strange.

    Rocky finds a new marking on his arm similar to Grace's scar, and Grace finds markings similar to Rocky's on his arms and legs.

    Rocky begins to dream and can easily wake from sleep, and Grace can stay up for much longer than a normal human should.

    Grace starts seeing sound when it's too dark to properly see, and Rocky starts seeing pops of colour in his sound vision.

    Neither can understand what's happening to them and how they're seemingly linked together, but they know there's nothing in the world that could tear them apart.

    (TLDR: This fic will include almost everyone's favourite things! Rocky learns about how Grace got on the Hail Mary (Including Rocky witnessing the memory of Grace being sent on the Hail Mary)! Grace can survive in Rocky's atmosphere! Grace will live as long as Rocky! Rocky and Adrian reuinite and Adrian meets Grace! Grace will get to go back to Earth with Rocky (for a bit and then go back to Erid)! Grace will get to confront and get closure with Stratt! Fanart included!)

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Dozens of little legs raced across the sand, bolting past Rocky and heading straight for Grace, happy shrieking trills filling the air.

    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

    Ryland’s life on Erid had started to settle, once the Eridian scientists figured out the pesky food situation to keep the leaky space blob alive. It had been a slow, but steady, recovery from near starvation, but with an overly concerned mate hovering over him, Ryland pulled through. Halfway through his recovery, Ryland finally got to meet Adrian again after a brief encounter once the biodome was constructed. It was a little awkward, for him at least, but Adrian didn’t seem upset that Rocky had chosen him as a mate too. Something about the differing customs between Human and Eridian mating habits, Ryland was just grateful he wasn’t being labeled a homewrecker. The big surprise was when he’d noticed a couple months after that encounter that Adrian was displaying what he’d learned through Rocky was Eridian Courting rituals with him, too.

    Rocky was thrilled, and Ryland never thought he could be loved by one person, let alone two. Everything was perfect, except for the one subject he refused to broach. But it wasn’t important, until it was.

    Ryland could never have one good thing for very long, could he?

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    "Grace is very soft," Dr. Derek says, their tone has dipped drastically from the light tone they were using earlier during the check-up. They emphasize their sentence with a squeeze to Grace's arm.

    Grace stutters, face starting to heat. "Oh! Uh-thank you, I think?"

    "Grace is taking another mate, question?"
