I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit by breakitdowntextualstyle
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
28 Jun 2026

Summary
Oh right, like he’s going to ask them for even more stuff so he can celebrate some holiday no one here has ever heard of, by himself. There’s nothing he wants less. “Probably not. Look, it will pass, okay? I’m okay."
“You are being evasive,” accuses Rocky.
He throws his arms out in frustration. “I am not! I’d just really rather talk about literally anything else.”
Or: On Erid, Grace learns that avoidance isn't all it's cracked up to be.

“I had assumed you two were engaged in sexual congress,” DuBois says, shrugging carelessly, as if he didn’t just drop a metaphorical bomb in the middle of a crowded break room.
I sputter, choking on the beer. “Wha— what?!”

Summary
“Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”
“This upsets you.” Rocky observes.

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

Project Long Shot by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
28 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.
Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. And they're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.
OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?
(This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)

False Friends by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
07 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
“Grace! Why you no say plants are on Hail Mary, question?!”
The question puts me on my back foot. Literally. I jog up to the door after my morning run to find Rocky waiting for me on my side of the house, suited up and ticked off. I rock back on my heel.
“Huh?”
“What you mean ‘huh’, is simple question! Why no mention plants on Hail Mary when almost die of no vitamins?!”
“No bud, I heard you the first time,” I scoff, shaking my head ruefully. He gets under my feet, tapping at my thighs with his claws to annoy me while I toe off my running shoes.
“Hey, quit— quit it! You’ve gotta be confused, the only plant matter on the Hail Mary was the food in my meals, and that’s years gone.”
——-
Aka, Grace gets a bittersweet surprise several years after he settles into his life on Erid.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

“You trust me?”
“I… yeah. Of course.”
Rocky stopped working, not because he needed to in order to carry on the conversation, but to make sure I was sure he was giving me his full attention. He was thoughtful like that. His carapace tilted up. “Rocky fix beetles, send to Erid. Then Rocky and Grace go to Earth. Grace will live. Grace see sibling again. Rocky promise. Rocky fix. Grace trust.”
