    Summary

    Summary

    After Grace hears of a new ship and finds out theres a living human onboard, he's hit with a wave of strong and occasionally conflicted emotions. Those emotions are only strengthened once he finds out that human---Simon---seems just as traumatized, if not more, than Grace himself was

    And after Simon wakes up onboard an unknown spaceship with an alien and the kindest person he's ever met, he has to learn to regain his footing in a much kinder world than he's used to, alongside growing to understand the other human---Grace.

    Now they've got to figure out just how to handle and help eachother, even as their own feelings (and trauma) start bubbling out of control

    Bloodymary, mostly taking place on Erid

    Summary

For what has to be the 1,000th time, Adrian thinks of their mate. ♪♫♪♫ would love to be here, clamoring for the opportunity to connect with intelligent life. They felt their vents flare with the weight of their grief.

    "Yes, something else," their coworker, ♪♪♪, turns to their radio and twists a few knobs and adjustments until a strange voice spills out into the open air.

    "Hǝllo¿ Ԁlǝɐsǝ¿ ∀ʌǝ dlǝɐsǝ I ƃoʇ ʇɥǝ qox' ʎon dɹoɯᴉsǝp' ʎon dɹoɯᴉsǝp ᴉp qǝ ɟɹǝǝ˙ I pᴉp ǝʌǝɹʎʇɥᴉuƃ ʎon ɐsʞǝp˙ Ԁlǝɐsǝ' qɹᴉuƃ ɯǝ nd˙" it cried out desperately, and despite the fact Adrian couldn't quite understand what it was saying, their fear and desperation transcended language and species.

    "Oh," Adrian finds themself becoming very, very still.

    Or

    After waiting for the return of their mate for so many years, Adrian stumbles upon something strange. A rouge moon of blood a rather pathetic creature beneath its waves.

    Summary

    The journey to Erid was long and tedious, despite Rocky's best efforts to abate the boredom, four years with only a bossy rock for company is enough to drive anyone insane.

    Upon arrival, sick and malnourished, Grace expects to be met with confusion and fear from the eridians, demands for explanations, and a long and drawn-out process to create living conditions for him.

    What he does not expect to find is another human, comfortably living at the eridians' best recreation of an apple orchard and fiercely attached to Rocky’s mate, Adrian.

    Summary

    The last five years living on Erid had been some of the happiest of Simon's life. He felt safe, happy, fulfilled, and had people he felt genuinely cared for him. Simon was sure that his perfect life was about to crumble when Rocky returned with another human. Where all Simon has ever known on Erid is compassion, his experience with humanity had rarely been so kind

    Summary

    Three years after Grace's and Rocky's return, Adrian decides to do a little experiment... make a human baby from Grace's cells! Except Adrian didn't ask permission and did it anyway. If Grace isn't upset already, well, finding out that his cells were used with another human's to make said baby definitely gets him there.

    Wait...

    Since when was there /another/ human?!

    (Despite being marked as Accidental Baby Acquisition, there will be no actual baby in this fic until the very end. This is just self-indulgent fluff of my favorite ship!)

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    Summary

    As The Convict shifted in the medical bed, he noticed a warm, heavy weight just below his knee. It was pinning him to the mattress.

    He looked down.

    There was a man. Leaning on him.

    ---

    OR

    Simon wakes up on planet Erid and is immediately infatuated (albeit confused) by the generosity and unbridled hospitality and warmth from Grace (and of course, Rocky). As Simon heals from his wounds (physical and otherwise), the two realise they have a lot more in common than they originally thought.

    AND

    Adrian and Rocky ship them so hard.

    Summary

    Simon washes up on the beach in the biodome on Erid, bloody and mangled, and it's up to Ryland Grace (and Rocky!) to nurse him back to health and piece together exactly what happened to him. Simon may have a few misconceptions about where he is and why.

    My personal take on the whole Project Hail Mary/Iron Lung crossover thing lol

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    AU where Simon did all his suffering on Earth and is dragged against his will onto the Hail Mary alongside Grace

    Summary

    "I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."

    Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.
