    Summary

    When Ryland Grace finally adjusts into his new life on Erid, a very scared, very upset man is just the thing he needs to disrupt it.

    or

    When Simon is pulled out of the remains of the Iron Lung-- still very much alive and very much disoriented, he must grapple with the fact that everything he once knew to be true is a lie, and that the visions from a deity he doesn't know the name of become rampant. His eternal punishment rests in the form of a very clumsy, very obnoxious blonde man who can't seem to understand he's living in a fishbowl.

    or

    A BloodyMary fanfiction where I attempt to unveil the complicated lore of both Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung. This is the very first fanfiction I've ever posted on A03 and it's the first bit of writing I've made public in over 8 years, so apologies if it takes me a moment to regain my footing!

    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

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    It was hard to gander how long Grace was on Erid when Simon came along. He could try measuring it out using the Earth’s Gregorian calendar like he did on the Hail Mary, but that’s when he still had a “lights out” timer and didn’t live on a planet with a very different yearly calendar. Teaching little eridians has forced him to adapt to their schedule more than his.

    Where was he going with this?

    Right! Simon.

    He still hadn’t met him yet.

     

    Or Rocky and other eridians find a wormhole and then an injured human man! They bring him to Erid and quarantine him to get him nice and healthy, but slowly find out he’s much different than their beloved science teacher.
