    Summary

    Here’s the thing.

    Grace is dying. Simon just wants to live.

    Hope is such a driving factor for each of them. But when Grace brings this convict aboard his ship, he was not expecting this man who was supposed to be a killer to be this soft. And…not this unhuman. Simon must come to terms with the idea that he might not be human any longer.

    Its the challenge of keeping one's humanity when you are the last fragment of it.

    And when you dont want to keep going.

    Summary

    I was going to live. If this stranger gave me a month’s worth of food I could at least stretch that out with the taumoeba in between. I’d be sick as a dog by the time we reached Erid but I’d be alive.

    Rocky continued his happy thrilling for a full minute as I hugged him, and then pulled back and turned to look at the lab.

    < What other human want for trade, question? Rocky can make. Rocky make anything! >

    “I don’t know pal, but whatever he wants is his!” I said confidently.

    OR: Starving Grace needs to trade himself for food to survive the trip to Erid. A decision that will traumatize him and Rocky.

    Summary

    “Sorry, bud. It’s going to be a hm… a bit of a pickle to keep me alive.” Grace chuckles.

    “Eridians build whatever Grace needs." Rocky chirps. ”Food that taste good and other stupid needs. Grace no worry. Stay alive and happy, Rocky make sure.”

    Grace nods, but that familiar fear is creeping up on him. The one that visits him when his head hits the pillow, that makes him feel like he's just stalling the inevitable. It's silly.

    All he has to do is not starve on the way to Erid. Then he'll be the only human on the planet. For the rest of his life. Which is not scary at all.

    Summary

    Survival is an equation. Keeping yourself alive through the process is a mindset. Ryland Grace is a scientist, surely he can figure this out, right? It’s only 1,361 days. And… however many days it takes after that. He’ll be fine. He has to be.

    OR

    Grace knew he would starve on their way to Erid, but surviving it is a change in plans that comes at a cost. Relevant triggers in author's notes.

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    Ever since Grace and Rocky landed on Erid, Rocky has been glued to Grace’s side, refusing to leave him alone. Grace is worried about his friend. Rocky has not even seen his mate more than a handful of times since they arrived. This is, obviously, a problem. He doesn’t want to keep Rocky away from the love of his life.

    Grace isn’t as sick anymore. He doesn’t need Rocky at his side all the time. Grace will do what he has to do so that Rocky and Adrian can resume living a normal life together. So what if Grace struggles to be alone? This is for Rocky’s sake. He’ll be okay.

    But Grace has severely underestimated how much he needs Rocky, and how much Rocky needs him.

    ——————————————————————————
    Or: Grace and Rocky are severely codependent. Adrian gets tangled up in their mess, too.

    Summary

    Grace has a problem. He's not sure if it's something he wants to fix.

    Turns out, he’s still addicted. But this time, there are no substances involved. He’s doing this on his own, out of sheer will, rooted off his self-hatred. He’s addicted to something else: letting himself deteriorate. Letting himself lay awake late at night in discomfort. Letting himself cry because this is the only thing that gives him a sliver of control. Taking his new chance for granted because self-sabotage has always won over everything else.

    Summary

    "Taumoeba kept me alive, but I became severely malnourished. The microbes gave me calories, but they weren't a balanced diet. Those were painful days. I had scurvy, beriberi, and a raft of other maladies." (Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary, 2021)

    Summary

    After saving Rocky from the stranded Blip A, Ryland Grace sets a course for Erid—and realizes, far too late, that there’s a problem. A major problem.

    With only a handful of weeks of edible food left, Grace begins to deteriorate in ways he understands far too well. Starvation is a problem he can quantify, track, and predict—and one he cannot stop. His body wastes, his mind slips, and the line between clinical observation and quiet terror begins to blur.

    Because sometimes, knowing the science doesn’t save you.

    From Rocky’s perspective, the problem is simple: Grace must eat. But human biology is anything but simple, and the solution sitting right in front of them—Taumoeba—remains unusable. As Grace worsens, Rocky is forced to do something he’s never needed to before: become a scientist.

    And he’s running out of time to learn.

    Summary

    "I'd say I've gone mad, but I-" he cut himself off, something like a car engine stalling behind his eyes. "It's good to see you."

    It was an odd thing to say, but still, it cut her to the bone. He'd said it like he hadn't seen her in years, not just since last night at bedtime. "You, too," she offered, tightening her grip on her knees. "Do you know what happened?"

    Louis licked his lips. "I think I was hunting frogs." His accent slipped into groove on hunting, no G, all Louis. It did not relieve her. "Then—" he stopped. Looked up at the ceiling. Claudia pulled a loosed thread from the hem of her skirt, wondering if he'd ever talk again. "You ever felt like you slipped outta your skin?"

    Or: One night in 1921, everything changed.
