    Summary

    A little over thirteen years after the Hail Mary launch, Eva Stratt is released from prison to assist the world’s bickering space agencies after a junior NASA technician spots an unidentified object near the orbit of Neptune. It appears to be on a direct collision course with Earth, and is moving so quickly it does not appear to be affected by any local gravitational forces, not even that of Sol. Oh, and one more thing—it seems to be slowing down.

    OR

    Captain Dr. Ryland Grace pilots the Hail Mary home long before (and long, long after) its mission is supposed to be complete. In their desperate venture beyond their solar system, humanity may have just accidentally unlocked a new chapter in interstellar physics.

    Summary

    It's a remarkable fluke that Earth has managed: sending one scientist into space on one-way trip only to discover him back in the solar system after three decades, and sending an entirely different astronaut for a circuit up to Mars and back just for disaster to strike and he's left stranded alone on the planet. Wilder still that the timelines align, and both space-farers end up on the same ship back home.

    Or:
    Project Hail Mary x The Martian crossover because the parallels go crazy and I needed to think thoughts that were not just spiraling about PHM so I rewatched The Martian and roped my other favourite scifi main character into it too. Featuring the dumbest fic title I have ever come up with.

    Summary

    On the poster, Ilya’s own face looked back at him through a Snapchat dog filter, the image clearly taken to show off his flexed torso. Ilya didn’t recognize the selfie. He could’ve sent it to any number of girls. Someone had put jail bars over the image and below it, in bold letters, was simple text:

    ILYA ROZANOV:
    THIS MAN IS A DOG!
    TEXT IRIS TO JOIN THE SUPPORT GROUP

    ~ or ~

    Following the tuna melt diaster, Ilya goes out to a bar in Boston and sees a poster for an Ilya Rozanov support group. Posing as Lily, he joins a group chat of his past consquests and discovers that he's not nearly as hard to figure out as he thinks he is.

    Summary

    „Humans have one heart. Question?“ Rocky stomped one of his back legs twice.
    „Yes, Rocky, humans have one heart.“ I answered. We had gone over the basic anatomy of our respective species weeks ago.
    „What mean when human one heart sound like two hearts. Question?“
    I frowned and slowly put down the chain. „I- what do you mean?“ My right hand automatically moved to the wrist of my left, measuring my pulse. It was a little elevated, but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.
    „Grace sound like two hearts. There.“ He pointed towards my abdomen.
    „No, no, Rocky, my heart is here.“ I pointed to the middle of my chest, slightly to the left.
    „Yes, one. Two there.“ He kept pointing at my abdomen.

    Summary

    He went to sleep in 2021, Ethan Winters dead, his daughter practically an orphan, her mother on trial for her actions while working with The Connections.

    He woke up in 1998, shortly before everything fell apart. A police station full of living ghosts, joking and laughing and talking to him like they haven't been dead for over twenty years.

    He was so tired.

    Summary

    This is a juncture of my theories about what really happened on Iron Lung.

    A Motherless Child is a sort of canon divergence/fix-it. It's mostly a character study of Simon and a new ending where Simon lives for the sake of the plot. Can be read as a standalone, since it's just what happened to Simon before his universe collided with the Hail Mary.

    Hunger is basically Simon's journey of self-acceptance and a close-up on how fucked his mind is after the horrors + he undertanding how to love Ryland.

    Both works can be read separately. However, if you plan on reading Hunger, reading A Motherless Child can deepen Simon's character greatly.

    The title is taken from "In on It" by Superheaven.

    Summary

    To say that Ryland Grace and Simon of Eden get off on the wrong foot would be the understatement of the century.

    Being rescued didn’t miraculously solve all of Simon’s problems. He has a lot to adjust to. Being a fresh amputee, the stars not being dead, aliens being real, living on an alien planet, having a human neighbor who doesn't want to kill him, trusting in this so-called “reality” that’s too good to be true… yeah, no, making friends isn’t a priority. Exiting survival mode is easier said than done. He barely even knows who he is when he’s not fighting tooth and nail.

    Grace is doing his best not to get attached to the handsome stranger he helped save. Simon may choose to leave Erid once he’s healed. He’s not so desperate for human company that he’d pursue someone who attacked him in their first-ever interaction. He has a good life here on Erid; he totally doesn’t dream of holding another human being’s hand, or being looked at fondly by someone with eyes, or seeing another person’s smile. He has Rocky and Adrian, who are more than enough family for him.

    But who does Simon have, if not Grace?

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Summary

    A genius from the Dark Age of Technology gets teleported to 30k and fixes all sorts of shenanigans through the power of SCIENCE. Lots of techno gibberish. Not only science fiction but also fictional science. You have been warned.
    I don't know if this counts as AU but there are some canon-divergent background settings and timeline alterations. There is some romance but it's mostly not about romance.

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier and Bucky Barnes are two different people sharing one body.... and one boyfriend.

    Tony loves both suave, charming Bucky and also broody, dangerous Winter and both men love him too. But the shared relationship is blurring their personalities until it's hard to stay separate. They switch without realizing, causing memory loss and confusion, anger and even a little jealousy when private moments with Tony are interrupted when the other comes forward.

    If Bucky and Winter blur too far together, one will be lost forever, his mind and consciousness erased so the other can exist alone, and Tony is terrified of losing either of the men he loves.

    Winter's willing to go since he was created from torture and used as a weapon for decades. Bucky's willing to go because he's tired of seeing a weaponized super soldier in the mirror when really he's just a kid from Brooklyn.

    They have to separate before it's too late, but even with Dr. Cho's help, it's a risky experiment almost certainly doomed to fail.

    How can Tony possibly decide which of his boyfriends he'd be willing to lose forever?

    He’s got full clearance, a StarkPad, and a habit of arguing with Tony Stark in the hallways.
    The office is trying to piece it together. Mostly through Teams.

    (Or, Peter and Tony’s relationship, as seen through the eyes of Stark Industries employees.)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was only human, but his spirit would not be subdued not even for death itself. Thanks to Rocky, Erid would soon learn the strength of the seemingly frail humans who sent a teacher into space. The duality of man would echo through their thrum haunting even the oldest Eridian. Grace was something new, something unknown, and something potentially dangerous. And Erid would never let him go. They would protect. They would claim. They would meet an indomitable human spirit.

    Inspired by the idea of the indomitable human spirit
