I Thought Love was a Kind of Emptiness by Anonymous
Fandoms: Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types, Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
21 Jun 2026

Summary
Grace’s short history of relationships taught him that maybe he was just childish. Maybe he just— maybe he didn’t want a relationship. Maybe he just wanted a best friend who wouldn't leave him when they got married. That he was the one that was the problem.
Adults had sex. That was a fact of life. They fell in love and love meant sex and that was just how it was. If you didn’t want to have sex then you weren’t really in love. Sure sex didn’t equate to love— people had flings all the time— but romance and sex were the kind of things that went together. So Grace had just— accepted the words of his girlfriends. That maybe he just never actually loved them the way he thought he did. Maybe he just liked them and tied the thought of romance to it so that he could monopolize their time. That all just came together so maybe he actually was just leading these women on. All of them gave him everything he needed in a relationship but he’d never been able to be what they needed. Wasn’t that selfish? Wasn’t that cruel?
Alternatively: Grace is alloromantic asexual. This is traumatizing in many ways. Not for Rocky though. Rocky's perfectly okay with being in love and never having sex.

Stratt informed part of her team that they have to do, ugh, publicity. Hopefully just this once. Grace has a contact that may help out.

Summary
The notes blur together and you can't make sense of anything but how loud they are, all the words you've learned meaningless. You could go grab your laptop, but that would mean moving from the comfortable little ball you've curled yourself into, so that's not happening. Rocky lets out a piercing trill when all you do is stare blankly at him - that, you recognise. He's worried. When you flinch at the sound, he rolls closer.
Grace gets overstimulated. Rocky tries to help. It works out better than either of them expects.

I have a lot of things I need to be able to say to Rocky. Hundreds and thousands of specific, finnicky, scienc-y things. Right now, all we can say is yes and no. At least there's nowhere to go but up, right...?

Grace and Rocky know who they are. They know how they feel about each other. Too bad literally no one else gets it at all. Like, at all.

“It’s platonic!” I blurted out, spreading my arms out wide to interrupt Adrian’s interrogation of my best friend. “We’re platonic songmates! Completely friendly, no romance, no mating. You have nothing to worry about! You’re still his mate!! Not me, never me!!”
“Impossible,” they said.

False Friends by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
07 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.
Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.

Summary
Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid. While Grace is more than happy to be one-step further from death, he has yet to confront his very human brain about it. Memories of his time on earth, near-death experiences in space, and being suddenly surrounded by giant alien spiders is a recipe for disaster. Luckily, Rocky is there to help him every step of the way.

The Eridians have a lot to learn about their new alien roomate.

Summary
"We're making progress on the vitamins! Sort of.
There's a lot of research to do before we get anywhere near the lab on this, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to get anywhere with our severely limited resources. At least if we can gather enough information, we can give the Eridian scientists something to work on when we finally arrive. I say we; Rocky has been focused on translation mostly, although he's working on a secret side project that he won't tell me about."
Rocky and Grace have a lot to figure out. Some of those things are very, very complicated, and some are much simpler than either of them expect.
