    Summary

    Imelda never expected to see her former husband's songbook among Ernesto de la Cruz's personal effects. She never expected it to fall into her hands.

    And she never expected to see Héctor on the other side of the veil.

    Summary

    "It means that you should prepare yourself for what might happen," said Dr. García gently. "Señora, this man is barely remembered. Whoever still holds memories of him and stopped the Final Death… it may not be enough. Perhaps he will eventually recover his strength and wake up. That would be the ideal outcome. But his condition is not promising, Señora."

    Summary

    Héctor thought he would spend the rest of his afterlife living in Shantytown. He never expected that an unknown member of his family—unknown to him, at least—would find him and bring the truth of his death to light. That he would have a second chance with his beloved Imelda. That he would have the opportunity to spend his final years as a member of his familia.

    OR

    What if Héctor was able to make amends with Imelda a decade before Miguel found his way to the Land of the Dead? Still movie compliant (mostly).

    This story is an outline that I do not plan to finish. Even still, it has a sort of conclusion and might still be fun to read. I hope it inspires some people to write something someday. :)

    Summary

    “Oh,” I sigh, rubbing still-shaking hands across my stubbly face because oh, that was so close. Too close. We were supposed to be done with the theatrics, with the life-and-death bullhonkey.

    What the heck, universe? Not cool.

    I don’t want to move for a bit. The siren song of dissociation calls my name, and honestly, I’m so, so chill with just sitting here for a second and decompressing and trying to remember all the breathing techniques I learned for my students, butー

    But the lights are still flashing red, flashing with urgency and Mary is saying something and I have to drag my mind, kicking and screaming, back to focusー

    “-ected. Toxic gas in Laboratory detected. Toxic gas in Laboratory-” Mary drones, and once it clicks into place the cold sweat is backー

    Oh god noー

    The banging noise. The gas leak. The lab.

    Rocky.

    Summary

    Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
    One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.

    Summary

    While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.

    "Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."

    No one is happy about this.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is right. He is also, as of seventy-two hours ago, unemployed and no longer welcome near a UNESCO conference. These things are related, as is everything that follows.

    This is the story of how the best science teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle School ended up there, and what he had to leave behind first.

    A Project Hail Mary prequel.

    Summary

    “The man is a pariah in his field. If you’d read his post-doctoral thesis,” Vale chuckles and shakes his head. “He’s not what I’d call ‘leadership material,’ in any case.”
    “Dr. Grace is very well respected on this ship, Friedrich,” Dr. Cohen says with a hint of reproach. “While you’re here, perhaps it is best not to say such things in polite company.”
    Vale rolls his eyes, but lets the subject drop with a muttered, “Really, what could Grace do to me?”
    The astrophysics team experiences a collective realization: Friedrich Vale might be a complete idiot, actually.
    -
    Or, Friedrich Vale is the newest scientist on Stratt's Vat. Friedrich Vale, for whatever reason, does not like Dr. Ryland Grace. Friedrich Vale is about to have a VERY bad time.
    Featuring the crew of Stratt's Vat being totally prepared to throw a bitch overboard if they so much as give Dr. Grace a dirty look, because he's too nice to do it himself.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace woke with a start, opening his eyes before quickly squeezing them shut against the bright light of the room. His head was tipped back, the top pressing back into a soft surface. Turning his face to the side, away from the direct view of the light, he gave a few cautious blinks until his eyes adjusted. After a moment, he carefully looked up, rolling his head into an upright position to look around the room.
    It featured two rows of reclined leather chairs, the back row elevated slightly above the front. The right arm of each chair featured a few buttons on a small keypad. In each seat there was a member of the Project Hail Mary research and mission team. Most of the members were blinking awake like he was, although some were still unconscious.

    or
    The members of the Project Hail Mary find themselves in a cinema, forced to watch a film which supposedly shows their future. Their captor tells them this will allow them to save Earth (and Erid) but how?

    or
    A watching the film fic because every fandom needs one.

    Summary

    “Grace,” she says gently. “You should really play it.”

    I don’t take my eyes off the light. “Are…are we sure it’s real?” I whisper.

    She barks out her boisterous laugh. “I am absolutely the wrong person to ask,” she says.

    —-

    When Grace goes back for Rocky, all he finds is a dead and silent ship. Being the only one left to bring Taumoeba to Erid, he decides to brave the long trip alone. He's not the same man when he arrives at Erid, but an unexpected friendship might bring him back to sanity.

    Summary

    Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.

    Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.
