    Summary

    "Grace have more limbs than other humans. Why, question? Is mutation, question?"

    "Not a mutation," he clarifies. "Well. Not an uncommon mutation, at least. Don't go around asking people if they're mutated ever, actually," he points at Rocky. "It's rude."

    "Mm. Okay." Grace watches him shuffle in place for a moment, claws tapping. "Can tell Rocky anyway. Is not rude if us. Few boundaries now."

    "Yeah," he concedes. "Few boundaries now." He allows the blanket to slip over the curve of his shoulder so his wings might stretch out, feathers trembling and shivering at their tips.

    //

    Or: the one where Grace has wings. And it doesn't change anything, except in all the ways that it changes everything.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be an alien from a society light-years away from your own, and he happens to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    “How about this? If reincarnation is real, and if it happens to me, I promise to come see you again.”

    Rocky was quiet again for several seconds before lifting a claw and curling it into a fist. “Deal?”

    “Deal.”

     

    Grace is reincarnated back on Earth, sixteen light years away from his best friend. Now he just needs to get back home.

    Summary

    Astrophage has infected every single star within the visible universe. Pushing those capable enough to seek a cure from places thought to be unreachable. One thing Eridians and Solians have yet to question however, where did this plague come from?

    Well luckily for them, the ones from its native system have also reached a breaking point. Could these new aliens within the Tau Ceti system help Grace and Rocky save their suns or are they here for a different reason?

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    The figure swayed as they brought a hand up and dragged it down their face, clearing away a portion of the blood. The person opened their eyes and started to look around the room, and put their hand against the chair to steady themselves.

    Gone was the extra mouth and all its teeth, gone were the fins and gills. Under the blood, it looked as though the person was wearing clothes and sturdy boots.

    The person looked human. Grace could see glimpses of skin where some of the blood had been wiped away. The red eyes locked onto him.

    Grace squeaked and shuffled back further, “I’m armed!” he said as he held the spray bottle up higher.

    Summary

    The humans threw Grace away. Grace, who worked so hard to save them, who came back for Rocky when he realized the taomoeba would eat through Rocky's ship. Grace, who gave up his chance to go home to save Erid too.

    And then Rocky finds out exactly how Grace ended up in space.

    They're not giving him back now. Grace will always have a place on Erid where he's beloved and cherished the way he should be, even if it takes Grace a while to believe he's worth that. Rocky may or may not have plans to fix up the Hail Mary for the trip back anyways- there were a few things they wanted to say directly to Stratt's face.

    Summary

    You ever see a fly endlessly bumping against a window so you open the window to let it out instead of just getting the swatter like usual. And it's all just on a whim?

    So, anyway, Simon somehow finds himself floating in space after screaming at a giant eye in an endless red void.

    Grace and Rocky are on the way to Erid when they come across an iron submarine with a dead eel monster hanging off the end.

    Simon gets to heal, Grace gets to interact with another human again, and Rocky gets to watch the incredibly awkward courtship rituals of these two disasters (affectionate).

    (AKA, it's my turn to play with the BloodyMary boys! :D )

    Summary

    “Ms. Stratt, would you say that you did whatever you had to do in order to ensure Project Hail Mary’s success?”

    Was that all? She nodded. “Yes.”

    “And that includes the technical murder of Dr. Ryland Grace?”

    Ah.
    This could pose a problem.

    Otherwise known as, the audio of Grace's last moments on Earth surface, and Stratt is in trouble.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is not going to be one of those *crazy* time travellers. He has more sense than that. He can totally fix things and get back home and nobody will ever be the wiser. The Acting thrum would be so proud of how well he is pulling this off right now.

    or

    Ryland Grace is a time traveller. He's also the world's smartest idiot. The rest of the team on the Vat is totally gonna let him fix things, but honestly, how stupid does he think they are?

    Summary

    Simon thought he'd died. He remembered releasing that stupid black box, he remembered the blood and pain, he remembered Ellie's teeth cracking down on SM-13.

    Then he woke up, floating in that hateful submarine, in a pool of blood. Intact. Had that all been some terrible nightmare? Had he failed and was now doomed to die slowly in a portion of the ocean of blood?

    Then the speaker that shouldn't be working cracked to life.

    "Hello?"

    --

    Grace was content with how his life was going. Sure, he was light years away from Earth and all the other humans. But he was alive, he had a best friend and a whole planet that cared for his happiness and well-being. He got to teach once more and had a beautiful view that was created just for him.

    But he was lonely. He had Rocky and the other Eridians of course, but he could really do with a cat or something to cuddle and love. Not that anything like that was going to happen -

    Wait, why was the ocean bubbling? Was that a voice? Light? What was happening?!

    Summary

    Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.

    It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.

    When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.

    And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

    Two.

    Not one.

    Two.

    Because there was a small baby Eridian on top of Adrian’s head.

    “Oh, my word!” Grace exclaimed, hands on his face. Grace hovered closer to the xenonite barrier between him and Adrian, trying to get as close as possible. Adrian clicked happily and leaned closer as well. “A baby! That’s a baby!”

    OR:

    Grace meets his new baby Eridian family member and becomes an uncle.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    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…
