    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    Summary

    “Please,” Eva whispers, her voice shaking, “don’t make this harder.”

    Grace would be more shocked by that show of emotion if he weren’t currently standing on a countertop, attempting to fend off two suit-wearing goons with a ballpoint pen. His daemon told him they were goons from the start, but he didn’t want to believe her. And now look where they are: betrayed by a friend, and menaced by goons.

    Daemon AU of selected events from Project Hail Mary.

    Summary

    “Can you talk?” Simon asks. “Or are you past that?”

    In response, Grace licks his neck. Okay then. Definitely past the point of coherent verbal communication.

    “Stop that,” Simon says mildly, shrugging his shoulder to jostle Grace, who grunts when Simon’s collarbone thuds into his nose and tightens his grip on Simon’s shirt in mute protest.

    Summary

    “I…” it began jarringly, “ww-ish to…speak.”

    “Speak?” William almost felt faint.

    “Yessss. I have a re-quest.”

    “Request?” William felt fainter. Then stupidly, “Victor is not usually so good with those.”

    Why was he STILL joking with it?!

    It didn’t respond and, shuddering, William forced himself to breathe. It was time to negotiate, then. And that he could do.

     

    It's William's wedding night, and he just so happens to spot a shape out in the snow.

    Also known as: William meets the Creature. Properly this time.

    Summary

    “Doc broke a tube of something, inhaled it, then fell in the middle of the lab. He said it was someone else’s. Smelled sweet.”

    Stratt swears about a paragraph worth of German profanity.

    “You’ve got the shape of it,” Carl says when she’s done. “You know what that was?”

    She presses hard at her temple. “It was an experimental drug to manipulate neurotransmitters,” she spits out, her consonants especially harsh. “Meant to help the crew in their comas by stabilizing hormonal output.”

    “It was supposed to,” Carl echoes. “Does it?”

    When Stratt shakes her head sharply, her hair falls from its loose braid. “The very opposite. It was an abject failure—an aphrodisiac. Very potent.”

    “Uh oh,” Grace says dreamily.

    .....

    When Grace has an accident in the lab and ingests an aphrodisiac, Carl takes him to the only person he knows with a private room. Stratt gets them through it.

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

    Summary

    “...nope.” Grace pulled the quilt farther up on his shuddering body, then turned his back to him. “Nope- oh, no, no, absolutely not. Nope.”

    “For sci-encee,” Rocky whined, actually whined, practically pawing at the edge of the bed, and Grace whipped back to face him, eyes squinted in the dark.

    “I don't buy that, Rock.” Rocky wilted with the sentiment. God, he was pushy- and if Eridians could evolve to have puppy dog eyes, Grace was convinced Rocky would be at the forefront of that development. “Not for a second. Y’know, you’ve been-”

    “How will Rocky possibly know how to please, if no?”

    ---

    Doctor Ryland Grace feels as if he's being hunted. Rocky is very aware of Doctor Ryland Grace's feelings.

    Summary

    The inherent eroticism of being perceived with curiosity and without judgment. Or, what if you were on your way to Tau Ceti e to save the world, and your alien best friend watched you get off for science, and then you learned some interesting xenoanthropological facts about Eridian mating customs? Well, it happened to my buddy Ryland Grace.


    "You can see?" I whisper.

    "I hear." Rocky matches my quiet tone. "I hear everything."

    And that's interesting, because those words fuse white-hot with my pulse, and earth themselves with a thump between my legs, and all of a sudden I'm not soft anymore.

    Okay. Yeah. We're way past being shy.
