    Summary

    “DuBois. Annie. You can’t send them.”

    Eva blinked.

    “Then what do you propose I do instead?”

    His chest stopped moving for a few seconds, as did his hands. He was still, all of a sudden. Motionless, his eyes still staring at her but the muscles around them contracting like he was fighting a deep instinct to squeeze them shut.

    He began to breathe again, shallowly. Then, he opened his mouth.

    “Send me.”

    ___

    Ryland Grace has thought it all through. He is the only person truly qualified for the mission. He knows Stratt will agree to send him; he's expendable to her.

    So naturally, he makes sure they become friends before he leaves.

    The Layer That Holds You by

    Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026), Sesame Street (US TV)

    Summary

    When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."

    or

    Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.

    Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.

    What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.

    Alienation and Recovery by

    Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026)  

    12 May 2026

    Summary

    While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.

    "Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."

    No one is happy about this.
