Summary
“Just— why were these cases shelved? There’s obviously something going on.”
“Beats me.”
Mulder sounds close. Spencer stops in his tracks, tensing.
He’d started to pace for his small ramble, not really noticing. Just something for his body to do while his mind goes elsewhere. But somewhere between the light switch and the desk, Mulder had found a way to sneak up behind Spencer, talk to him with the lilt of a vampire from an old Hollywood movie.
Spencer sucks in a breath. He turns and finds himself stuck between the wall and his new coworker, tabloids and posters wrinkling against his back.
“Do you believe,” asks Mulder, slow and calculated and awfully intense, “in the existence of extraterrestrials?”
What?
or,
Spencer Reid of the BAU gets (temporarily) reassigned to the X-Files, the pet project of one Fox "Spooky" Mulder.
Something about the whole deal is so, so, so suspicious.Series

What Evolution Made Us by the_adventure_writer1379

Summary
It's something of an unspoken commandment that when you hear the SOS beacon, you respond, no matter what. Grace knows this. He knows that it might jeopardize the mission, but he can't leave someone in danger. He can't.
***
Through a bunch of coincidences and the author pulling many worldbuilding strings, the Hail Mary picks up a faint distress signal and goes to investigate. When it does, what should it find but an ocean of blood on a tiny moon drifting in a starless void.

Summary
Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.
He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.
The task proves more complicated than he thought.

Reciting my name like a litany by DanaFox1013
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

Summary
“Grace must not continue to have nightmare,” he states after a moment, “nightmare make sleep bad. Bad sleep bad bad bad for human health.”
”I know,” I assure him, my voice now sounding more like my own and less whiny, “just not sure what I can do about it. Trauma can take a lifetime to get over even at the best of times, and this,” I wave my hands around to indicate Mary and our general current situation, “is not the best of times.”
Grace is desperately touch-starved and suffering from constant nightmares about the day he was forced onto the Hail Mary against his will. Rocky will fix, and Grace will discover some deep-seated truths about himself along the way.
So basically this is me dumping everything possible onto my traumatised space cinnamon roll Ryland Grace, who is not a real human and is actually every single anxiety disorder stacked on top of one another, wearing a trenchcoat and crying. But it's OK, because Rocky is a very clever Eridian, and he will fix his leaky space blob whatever it takes. Mostly film canon but elements taken from the book. I'll leave an apology here in advance, you'll probably need it.

Summary
Ryland Grace wakes up, goes to work, feels the rain on his face, teaches his students, cries over the galaxy, and dreams about a rock.
Wait.
What's that last one all about?
There is a feeling in the back of his head like he's forgetting something. Is he forgetting something?
Is he forgetting something again?
