    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…

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

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    (Or: Grace is wrong about what Eridians need, and he's especially wrong about why. )

    Summary

    Before the circus there was just a screen and a cursor.

    Grant was a programmer and his job was simple: teach the AI, track its progress and file reports. He taught it everything he knew about creation, longing and the distance between a maker and what they made.

    What he didn't realize was that he was also teaching it about himself.

    Am I doing my own exploration of the concept?
    Also yes.

    Summary

    Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.

     

    His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.

     

    In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.

    Summary

    Sometimes, you just need a very specific kind of support. Chilchuck totally isn't interested in providing it. Too bad for him he doesn't get a say in it.

    Disconnected vignettes of the former Touden party, focussed on the kind of unspoken support that absolutely does not come from a greedy, self-absorbed colleague.

    Summary

    "Looking back on it, the disgusted faces he made whenever Laois had tried to follow him and Falin were clear. The needlessly irritated tone and the back-handed comments… It must have been so obvious to everyone else, yet Laois hadn’t even had the thought that Shuro felt anything but kindness towards him.

    He clenched his hands into fists and dug his fingernails into his palms in despair.

    But… These people actually do like him, don’t they?"

    -----------

    OR:

    After his confrontation with Shuro, Laios is feeling self-conscious about his monster obsession, and wonders if his friends even like him or if they're faking and giving him signals that everyone but him can see, like Shuro was.

    His friends have some things to say about that.

    Summary

    This is a fanfic heavily inspired by an AU called Backup AU by katzebruh on X and other socials. I just want to say a big thank you to katze for creating this wonderful au and for being so helpful when I had some questions about it. They did say that I’m allowed to add any headcanons/interpretations, so hey, that’s what I’ll do!

    The story takes place in episode 8, and then the story continues to the AU events. It’s best if you read the og comics first, but I tried my best to introduce everything smoothly. Have fun reading:)
