    Summary

    It was a head, curtained by a congealed dredge of hair draped over so much of the face that he could barely discern their features, only making out a single desperately wide eye.

    "…Safe…"

    He could barely make out the word at first, just a waterlogged gargle that escaped like a ragged cough.

    "Keep… . Keep it safe… . ."

    Grace paused his struggle, not because he felt the danger was gone no, his body was coiled to jerk away as soon as the hand tugged again but instead they just clung tightly. It was because he hadn't heard a human a voice in so long, rough and deep, and so desperate.

    "S'more than me… .. . More than me…"

    OR Grace is forced to learn about the man he brought aboard through the audio logs of his past

    Summary

    “I see you.”

    Something crosses between universes that should never touch. A vessel built for a blood ocean, broken open in deep space. Inside it, barely alive, a man no one was looking for and a tree that should not exist.

    Grace and Rocky did not ask for this. But Grace has not seen another human being in years, and the ruined stranger on his medbay table is, impossibly, alive.

    Simon has only ever known one law: everything costs something. Kindness is a debt. Care is a trap. He has no idea what to do with a man who keeps giving him things and asking for nothing back, and no framework at all for the one that terrifies him most: being seen, and not made to pay for it.

    Slow-burn. Two profoundly isolated people, one alien best friend, and the long work of learning to be safe.

    “Agreed.”

    Summary

    "Your cooking tastes like prison food," Simon muttered into the glass, his voice bitter but without a trace of venom, fogging the pane as he spoke.

    Ryland let out a breathless, watery sound, halfway between a laugh and a sob. "I'll take that as a compliment."

    A continuation of the story after the events of Project Hail Mary and Iron lung. I try to be as story (and fact) accurate as I can be for the nerds out there. I see you, you're welcomed here (and everybody else). I heavily rely on PHM book with some details from the movie.
    TL;DR Grace is panicking because Simon is hot, but make it slow burn and cosmic horror. >:D

    Summary

    Basically, what if I put Ryland Grace with amnesia in to the SM-13 right after Simon flash banged the COI crew with radiation?

    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.

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky

    Summary

    Ch.13 excerpt:

    "When Ryland next managed to speak between borderline maniacal bouts of laughter, it was to ramble, hastily slurring his words together in a manner that took nearly all of Simon’s focus to make sense of, “Up is down, left is right, xenon’s a solid, aliens are real, a man appeared in our airlock and the man is from Mars.” The look in his eyes was wild as he pulled his hands away to rub at his face, pressing and clawing across the bridge of his nose, “I’m still wrong about everything and everything is still very wrong!”"

    -

    Still trying to save their respective planets, Grace and Rocky gain a new problem they need to solve: the body of impossible human being appearing in the Hail Mary's airlock. Things slowly get worse from there.

    Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

    Summary

    "Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"

    There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.

    Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."

    Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."

    "Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."

    "Rock, someone's on the ship."

    An AU where Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture both happen in the same universe, but at different times.

    Summary

    "So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.

    "Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.

    Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.

    Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."

    "Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.

    "Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.

    Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.

    ***

    Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

    Summary

    "I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."

    Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    Simon was prepared to die alone in the depths of a blood ocean for the sake of the remnants of humanity. He wasn't prepared to live a changed man - monster - in an entirely changed universe, with little memory of how he'd gotten there or who he was or what he'd done.

    Who the fuck was this Ryland person, and what did he want with him?

    Summary

    Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.

    The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.

    They found another human inside the vessel.

    ---

    Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has never been great at making friends. Now that he has a mutated, traumatized, and possibly insane man in the Hail Mary's quarantine room, he wishes he would have practiced more. Rocky wishes they'd ejected the monster out of the airlock.

    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

    Simon had sprinted out of the lung from the first gaps of light that where made from someone cutting a new door into it.

    This event did lead him to slam what he originally assumed was a 60 year old man directly into a metal wall, ignoring the blood still pouring out of the lung, and then get "restrained" and hosed down, but not the worst thing that could happen in comparison to the blood ocean.

    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

    Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.

    After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
    Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.

    Summary

    It’s been a few years since the Hail Mary succeeded, and now Grace and Rocky are on a mission to help the other affected stars that are being eaten by Astrophage. They’ve been traveling around the galaxy, letting taumeoba loose on the infected areas, when they run into a strange solar system. It’s got a planet with a moon that has an ocean full of… blood? And what’s even more strange is what they find on the surface. Or a more fitting description: who they find.

    Summary

    Sephiroth was Hojo's son. But he was also Lucrecia's. And that was why, given a chance, Vincent would try to save him. That was why, given a chance, he would go back and try to help keep him on a better path.

    Because when you loved someone, and they were gone, you made sure their kids were okay. And he should have realized that the first time around.
