    Summary

    Grace reaches out and puts his palm flat against Rocky’s ball, feels the heat that comes up from glass-like wall. His lip quivers, breath unsteady as he sighs out and admits, “I wish I could touch you.”
     

    Loved to the point of invention; Rocky makes his xenonite suit to help Grace.

    Summary

    [What does hand flex mean, question?] Rocky asks from where we're huddled together on the floor, watching the 2005 adaption of Pride & Prejudice.

    "It's uh—" I hit pause, search for the right word. "Have we had yearning in the vocab yet?"

    ——

    Summary

    I don’t need all my memories back to know that home is wherever I’m with Rocky. I knew that when I turned around for him. Maybe I even knew it when we said goodbye for the first (and last) time.

    Summary

    “Hey, you’re the one who loves hearing my heartbeat.” Wait, nope, shouldn’t’ve said that. That definitely seems like too much, somehow. I feel my cheeks heating up.

    Rocky’s claws fidget against the xenonite. “Yes. I do. Is good sound,” he insists, more quietly than I’d expected. “Means you still alive."

    “Yeah.” I’m so alive right now that I can feel the pulse jumping in my throat. “That’s, um. That’s good.”

    In the back of my mind, a very cool and rational part of myself is telling me: hey, since you’re on the subject of internal organs, why not take this opportunity to ask Rocky to feel you up so he can check on your appendix/gallbladder situation? Unfortunately, the rest of my mind just heard ask Rocky to feel you up and had the psychic equivalent of a seizure.

    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.

    /

    The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

    La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    "Rocky?" Grace says. Its tone has taken an inquisitive edge. Humans do not use tone the same way Eridians do. They express more in their facial muscles. It makes Grace hard to read. But the lilt of its voice says concern. "You okay, bud?"

    "How old Grace, question?" Rocky asks, not wanting the answer.

    Summary

    Ryland wakes up on a planet 16.5 light years from home with nearly 2 decades worth of memories missing. He’s done incredible things, or so he’s told, but all of that is overshadowed by the painful process of remembering. Who is he to the Eridians? To the world he left behind? To the companions it seems he gave up everything to be with?

    There’s a lot of jagged edges around events from his life that he wishes remained buried. But for the first time, Ryland has the opportunity to pick up pieces previously left untouched, and create a stronger foundation for the new relationships in his one-of-a-kind, wild ride of a life.

    (Plenty of angst/hurt/comfort, timey-whimey flashbacks, etc. with fluff and lovely bits holding it together in between)

    Summary

    When Grace agreed to participate in the ancient Eridian mating ritual, he expected something exciting, a little bit scary and hot. He didn't expect just how deeply the predator-and-prey ritual will awaken something inside him. Hunted through the biodome by his two alien mates, Grace discovered a few more things about himself.

    Aka: Adrian and Rocky consensually hunt Grace through his biodome and then fuck him. :)

    Summary

    "So how humans pick partner?"

    "Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”

    “Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

    Summary

    The awareness of time is a delicate thing.

    It is slipping rapidly from Grace's fingers. Grace, who is starving to death, who is still recovering from the most precise amnesia Earth could give him, who turned around and left Earth in the hands of the Beetles save his one dearest companion even though it would kill him, is still a scientist at heart. Scientists solve problems. He finds ways to keep track.

    Rocky wouldn't approve, but what Rocky doesn't know won't hurt him.

    Summary

    “Grace?"

    Grace shakes his head, bringing himself back into the moment. “Sorry, Rock. What’d you say?”

    “What Grace want for birthday,” Rocky repeats himself, tone more insistent this time.

    “Y’know,” Grace says, deciding an unrealistic idea is better than no idea at all, “I think I want a hug from my best friend. If you can figure that one out, you’ll never have to get me another birthday gift again.”

    “Rocky will continue to get Grace gifts anyway.” Grace flushes at the declaration, which he does not want to address. Rocky is quiet for a moment after, tapping his claws on the ground in thought. And before Grace can tell him he was just joking, don’t worry about it, just make him some xenonite barbells so he doesn’t lose these muscles so fast, Rocky is perking up and skittering to leave the room again. “Rocky know how to get Grace gift! Will take some time. Late gift. Will make up for it next Earth year.”

    (Or, the one where Rocky's birthday present to Grace ends up getting a little out of hand.)

    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.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)
