    Summary

    On the journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss their respective alien biologies and Rocky learns that a lot of humans don't make it to the average 80 year life expectancy.

    Years later, it looks like Rocky is going to learn that lesson again in a more personal way, but not if he has anything to say about it.

    Feat: Grace being susceptible to medical misconceptions aka being a little dumb about human medical science (he’s not that kind of doctor, okay?), old man Grace ignoring pain and injury because he’s used to it, worried Rocky, and a peek at daily life on Erid

    Summary

    {Also can better see Grace. Study Grace. Understand what Grace fifth limb is.}

    “Woah,” I laughed, “I appreciate it, but that’s… for mating and waste.”

    {I know. Leaky human has many holes to leak from. Never see this one. Has TWO fluids. Interesting. Rocky will study. Answer questions that Grace won’t answer because blood goes to fifth limb and away from stupid squishy human brain. Like now.}

    That jerk was right. I could feel two things at once. Rocky, above me, VERY deliberately pressing his carapace even closer into my body. And the soft, throbbing sensation between my legs, pressing at the fabric of my sweatpants.

    Ohhhh fudge.

    *******

    Rocky and Grace explore each other on their way to Erid with the help of some hot new xenonite technology!

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be an alien from a society light-years away from your own, and he happens to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    Grace has been on Erid for about six months. Things have quieted down. Grace isn’t as sick anymore. He’s eating normally, mostly healed, and not actively dying. Rocky doesn’t need to spend every waking moment with him. Rocky can actually resume living a normal life. Grace doesn’t need Rocky, anymore.

    Grace has severely underestimated how much he needs Rocky.

    Or: What happens when a very codependent Grace tries to separate himself from his best friend, Rocky? Who, by chance, also happens to be very codependent?

    Oh, right. And he’s in love with Rocky. And he doesn’t know it yet.

    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.
