    Summary

    Ryland Grace woke with a start, opening his eyes before quickly squeezing them shut against the bright light of the room. His head was tipped back, the top pressing back into a soft surface. Turning his face to the side, away from the direct view of the light, he gave a few cautious blinks until his eyes adjusted. After a moment, he carefully looked up, rolling his head into an upright position to look around the room.
    It featured two rows of reclined leather chairs, the back row elevated slightly above the front. The right arm of each chair featured a few buttons on a small keypad. In each seat there was a member of the Project Hail Mary research and mission team. Most of the members were blinking awake like he was, although some were still unconscious.

    or
    The members of the Project Hail Mary find themselves in a cinema, forced to watch a film which supposedly shows their future. Their captor tells them this will allow them to save Earth (and Erid) but how?

    or
    A watching the film fic because every fandom needs one.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    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…

    Summary

    He tuned out the squabbling men across from them to Fucile, leaning in to hear him better. “What’s up, bro?”

    “It’s nice to see you smile, a real one I mean, not that crap you put on for the media.” Fucile teased.

    He laughed nervously. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man. I laugh all the time.” He finished off his statement with a patented Ken Sato laugh and a sip of his drink. It didn’t taste as good anymore.

    Fucile just hummed in response. He looked amused, leaning away from Kenji so he could see him better. He had a stupid, lazy smirk on his face as he dragged his eyes up and down Kenji’s frame.

    Kenji felt distinctly like prey about to be eaten by a predator.

    Not taking his eyes off of Kenji, Fucile grabbed his glass off of the table, downing the rest of it in one go. Still smirking, he finally turned away.

    “Fine, keep your secrets then, Ken Sato.”

    Or: how Kenji makes himself a family, bonds with his daughter, and learns that maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay

    Summary

    They can hear the soft piano melody even before they enter the greenhouse. It steals their breath away, just a little; a feeling of deep, unexpected familiarity. Rover's been feeling a lot that, lately. The Black Shores are like the place of a missing tooth, always reminding them of something they can't remember. Just like Shorekeeper.
