Come Shove Me Over the Edge (Cause my Head is in Overdrive) by Lucky_Van084

Summary
Grace is nervously, carefully learning to enjoy having Simon aboard the Hail Mary, he’s hopeful that Simon is starting to come out of his shell. He’s . . . Hopeful about a lot of things, things he probably shouldn’t be hopeful for.
Or; Simon’s been carefully adjusting to his limited time on the Hail Mary, on account of this can only be his ‘7 minutes’ of brain activity before he dies.
At least the angel sent to help him move on is as beautiful as they were said to be.

The Wallpaper in my Heart (slowly, slowly peeling off) by Acewithapaintbrush

Summary
Afterwards Rocky reassured me that it is pretty common for pebbles to earn their first nicks and cracks at that age. Their outer shell isn’t fully developed yet and not quite as hard as that of an adult. He proudly showed me various indents and hairline fractures on his own body, telling me about how he got them in his youth during adventures with his friends or just messing around.
It’s a sign of growth, he told me. A sign of getting older and maturing.
Not a big deal. Happens all the time.
I believe him. Tori was in good spirits afterwards. Their crying was more because of the shock and the scare, not any actual pain. We finished the rest of the day without any further incidents and then I wished them all a happy holiday and returned to my home and got into bed.
Where I stayed for the next eighteen hours.
*************
There is an accident in the classroom. Everyone tells Grace that it's not a big deal.
But then why can't he stop thinking about it?Series

Summary
Simon woke up.
He was surprised to be in the same room again. Surprised the too clean room and the too kind man and the freaky alien weren’t a trick made by the eel. Surprised that they hadn’t started demanding payment for saving him yet. There was always a price to pay.Bookmarked by Charlie (ImNotAFish)

"Heck, if he wanted to do open heart surgery on me, I'd probably let him."
Rocky has no choice but to do open heart surgery.
"Rocky can replace valve. Rocky cannot replace Grace."

Summary
Clearly, Grace’s refusal to engage with Simon’s outwardly destructive behavior had given Simon an excuse to turn that destructive behavior inwards.
The beam of his flashlight swept across the sandy beach, illuminating the rolling waves. The distant hum of the wave machine combined with the sound of water crashing was just enough of a comfort to make Grace want to close his eyes and go back to sleep right there.
But he couldn’t, not without Simon at his back.
--
For the first time in a while, Grace wakes up alone. Simon is nowhere to be found.
Until Grace does find him...in the ocean, with no pulse.

Summary
Grace narrows his eyes behind his glasses, but moves to obey anyway. “Simon, I told you you could have as long as you needed. Even if that was never. You don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to.”
Simon shakes his head. “I don’t want to. But…” He chuckles to himself, “Rocky’s right. And if you all hate me after this and want me off the ship…” Well, it might not be that bad to die floating among all those stars. “We can figure that out. Just… let me start from the beginning.”
He sits back down at the table, ignoring the throbbing pain in his palm and the bile rising in his throat. “You might want to get your coffee.”
(Or: A take on how Eden influenced Simon over the years. Or maybe: cults are weird. Or even: wow, this convict can fit so much religious trauma in him!)

Summary
“Here? Here? Here?” He's not testing anymore. The little rascal has my body figured out and he goes for all my ticklish spots. Even through this new discovery, he's being careful not to hurt me.
“Get-” I choke out through bubbling laughter, “Get off!”
I try to push up, but he puts a limb on my back, pushing me down harder. I can't get up.
The laughter dies.
I can't get up.

Finding Home by C4t1l1n4

Summary
A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)
Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.[This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

A Practical Lesson in Theoretical Geometry by Ikira
Fandoms: Iron Lung (2026), Project Hail Mary (2026)

Tags
Summary
They’re 8 months out from Erid when it happens. The Hail Mary doesn't exactly have any pre-programmed alerts for announcing the approach of what Rocky would later find out is a wormhole, but to her credit, the ship does try her best.
"Approaching anomaly detected."
Suddenly Rocky finds himself in a strange new space. It's much smaller than the Hail Mary, with strange metal walls and no life support. But to his surprise and delight, there's another human here! Only, they don't seem to be in space anymore. And the new human keeps treating Rocky like he's not real, which, rude. And the human seems so sad and scared, it reminds Rocky so much of when Grace admitted that their mission was a one-way trip. In fact, this new human reminds Rocky of Grace in a lot of ways.
Wait, did the human say something about radiation?!
That settles it. Rocky's getting this human out of here and back to Grace. There's no way he's letting anyone else die of radiation. Not on his watch.
He's going to save this human and they're both going to go home. Together.

Summary
When a micrometeoroid punches through the Hail Mary's hull, Ryland Grace has minutes of air and one job. Weld the breach before the ship bleeds out into the dark.
It should be simple. Get out, seal the hole, get back inside. But since when have things ever been simple for Grace?Bookmarked by Charlie (ImNotAFish)

Summary
“The submarine is pried open like a tin can, leaving him only able to watch in horror as the metal gives, and he knows with startling clarity that this isn’t anything the Blood Ocean could’ve cooked up. In fact it could be far worse.
He doubts the C.O.I would expend themselves rescuing him, and if they were to they may just throw him back at seeing him. He has no choice but to sit, eyes tightly closed like a child hiding to avoid punishment, though he never was good at that on Eden.”
~~~
The process of healing is never linear, and Simon’s even less so. But with Grace's gentleness he finds himself wanting to trust again, to recover in ways he thought he’d never deserve.
AKA. Soft Little Simon and endlessly comforting Caregiver Grace for the soul.

Simon's understanding of sexuality on Eden, versus what Ryland Grace teaches and shows him.
“So if I like you it makes me gay?” He questioned.
Ryland blushed, but nodded, “yeah, it does. Is that okay?”
“Why wouldn’t it be?”

Summary
Ava pushes aside the crew, who are all strangely huddled around something on the starboard side of the ship. She commands, “You will be in charge of handling our latest catch.”
“What the hell am I–”
Simon's words die in his throat as Ava finally makes a path for them. Laying upon the deck with four harpoons pointing at him is a siren.

“Holy fffff-iddlesticks!”
Grace stares at Simon with half-blurred vision, his glasses hanging off his ear and mouth agape in a confusing mix of awe, fascination, and mild disgust. What the heck was that?
“Simon beautiful when eat!” Rocky trills.
--
Apparently, eating is different for every member of the Hail Mary.

Summary
Simon remembers when bathing was something that never took longer than 3 minutes. In, wash, and out. Not like he had a choice, with the dwindling resources. But it had seemed so thoughtless, periodic and routine that he'd never given it much consideration.
OR
Grace helps Simon wash his hair.
