    Summary

    Grace is very busy getting blackout drunk on his spaceship, all alone, 12 light years from home, thank you, when one of the "corpses" from the dormitory of the ship decides to "reanimate" all of a sudden.

    Does he get a hug and cry from the sheer relief of human contact after days of being crushingly alone? Maybe.

    Does he absolutely think the fourth member of the Hail Mary is a space zombie at first? ...ALSO, maybe.

    Don't worry. Graham fix.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace never thought he’d fall in love.
    You didn’t think you’d ever find someone who understood you.

    That all changed when you started a new job as a middle school librarian at Grover Cleveland Middle School. There, you met your best friend and the greatest love of your life, found out the sun was dying, and somehow learned of the government's plan to send three scientists into space to figure out why.

    Discover a love story that transcends space and time and follow two soulmates as they navigate through a world in peril.

    Summary

    “I need you to know that if things were different —if this mission didn’t exist, if I wasn't —," she lets out a shakey breath, her resolve slowly breaking down. "I would have chosen you. Without hesitation."

    Summary

    You and Ryland Grace knew each other in the past.. and not in a good way. Ever since he wrote his papers about life forms possibly not needing water, you and him bumped heads. Everything you stood for was torn apart by his careless words, and you couldn’t stand his arrogant behaviour.

    Now you’re the only two survivors who were thrown into this stupid Project Hail Mary thing. (Unfinished)

    Summary

    “I— Yeah,” I cut whoever was speaking off, my voice sounding strange and distant, like I was hearing myself from ten feet away. “I’m fine, I just have to… I think I need… uhm…”

    I was rising to my feet, then, my thoughts blurry and all over the place. As I shuffled out from under the table, I moved too fast and hit the edge of it with my knees. It was a terrible idea — pain flashed through my hips and spine without the help of my cane, which I vaguely registered leaving on the ground as I pushed away from the conference table, took one more look at the people gathered around it…

    And broke out into a run.

    Or: Grace returns to Earth but has trouble adapting to humans again. Humans who stare, and scrutinise, and can read his thoughts at a glance.

    Summary

    “What do you think about your statue?”

    My finger freezes on the careful swoop of the “g.” “What, question?” Okay, maybe it’s a little childish to add the “question” bit, but it’s the only way I can think of conveying emphasis right now.

    It definitely gets the kids’ attention. “You haven’t seen your statue?”

    I have a statue? I glance around the room. Nobody speaks up.

    Oh god. I have a statue. Like an actual statue that apparently everyone’s seen except me.

    And as if it couldn’t get any worse, “It’s in the middle of the cluster. In the plaza.”

    Grace learns that everyone on Erid sees him as a hero. Thankfully, Rocky's there to remind Grace who he really is. Human.

    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

    Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

    “I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”

    “Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”

    “Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

    “♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    “I realized we didn’t open the fridge, and as soon as I opened it…” Morgan goes quiet. Adam’s heart is racing, pulse drumming high in his throat. “I don’t know if it was a trap or if it was bad storage. A vial of powder fell out and exploded on the floor. I didn’t step on broken glass, but–”

    “You inhaled it.”

    “I inhaled it.”

    (Or: Morgan gets fear gassed. Karadec's doing his best.)

    Summary

    “Morgan,” someone says lowly. “Take your time, okay? But I need you to wake up.”

    Karadec. Okay, cool, that’s fine. Sure, he’s never said before that he needs her, not in this low and desperate and understated way, but Morgan can lie awake in bed thinking about that some other time. Mostly because she’s starting to realize that she’s not in bed. She doesn’t know where she is.

    Summary

    Yuki was supposed to disappear quietly.

    Instead, she escapes the Fire Nation palace, runs straight into a royal court session, and interrupts Fire Lord Zuko mid-meeting.

    At twenty-seven, Zuko is no longer the banished prince chasing honor—he is the Fire Lord, rebuilding a world still divided by the war his nation started.

    Yuki wants nothing to do with him.

    Unfortunately, he needs her.

    Now forced into a reluctant partnership that takes them far beyond the palace walls, Yuki and Zuko must navigate a fragile peace, rising tensions, and a world that hasn’t forgotten the past.

    She won’t trust him.

    He won’t let her go.

    Summary

    Since the end of Hundred Years War seven years ago, Fire Lord Zuko has been isolated in the Fire Palace, fending off assassinations and mending the Fire Nation, all while putting off the Fire Sages' demands that he take a wife. When Iroh finally finds him a match to restore relations with the Old Colonies, he reluctantly agrees to the marriage, with the expectation of never speaking to her again and sending her off to Ember Island.

    It proves to be more difficult than he expects though, when he realizes that his new wife is as stubborn as a dragon moose.
