    Summary

    Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.

    Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.

    “So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.

    “You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”

    or

    Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    It’s been a few years since the Hail Mary succeeded, and now Grace and Rocky are on a mission to help the other affected stars that are being eaten by Astrophage. They’ve been traveling around the galaxy, letting taumeoba loose on the infected areas, when they run into a strange solar system. It’s got a planet with a moon that has an ocean full of… blood? And what’s even more strange is what they find on the surface. Or a more fitting description: who they find.

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening.

Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    The journey to Erid was long and tedious, despite Rocky's best efforts to alliviate the boredom, four years with only a bossy rock for company is enough to drive anyone insane.

    Upon arrival, sick and malnourished, Grace expects to be met with confusion and fear from the eridians, demands for explanations, and a long and drawn-out process to create living conditions for him.

    What he does not expect to find is another human, comfortably living at the eridians' best recreation of an apple orchard and fiercely attached to Rocky’s mate, Adrian.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are one year away from Erid when an unidentified object slams into the Hail Mary. It's an object that shouldn't exist in a place that shouldn't hold problems.

    Inside is a man that definitely shouldn't exist, too.

    After a violent first meeting, Grace, Rocky, and their newfound passenger - Simon - are forced to survive the remainder of the trip to Erid together: low on supplies, stranded in deep space, and each carrying traumas from their difficult journeys.

    Yet somehow, against all odds, they begin to build a life together aboard the ship.

    Summary

    “My name is Grace, you’re in my home, I’m not gonna hurt you-“

    “Bullshit you ain’t gonna hurt me. Who are you with? The C.O.I? I’ll kill you before you can put me back in that hellhole!” The man’s hand trembles as he grasps the piece of broken ceramic, keeping it trained on Grace.

    “I swear, I swear! I’m not going to hurt you or put you anywhere, I don’t know what the heck you’re talking about. I don’t know what the C.O.I is but I’m not part of it. You’re on Erid, orbiting the star 40 Eridani. Can you please tell me your name?”

    He scoffs indignantly. “You think I was born yesterday? There are no stars. There are no planets. They’re dead. All dead. Everybody knows that.”

    What?

    Or:

    Simon’s submarine appears in the orbit of Erid - he and Grace figure it out.

    Summary

    “Who the fuck are you!? Where the fuck am I!?” He shouts at me. He’s scared and confused. I know that all too familiar feeling.

    “Hi. I am Dr. Ryland Grace, and you’re aboard the Hail Mary.” His bleeding worsens as he steps back. “You’re severely injured. This is Armando, he's a surgeon and has been treating your wounds.” I look at Armando, he's not too badly injured, just a few scratches. He's made out of carbon fibre thankfully.

    “This is a safe pla-.”

    I get knocked to the floor, the guy just body checked me! He sends me tumbling to the floor as he pins me down. “What the heck!” I scream, trying to move my hands. He's pinned them above my head with his right hand. Crud, he's strong.

    Or

    Grace and Rocky get stranded in the Iron lung universe. Looking for answers they find a moon with blood ocean (gasp!) and decide to take a sample, on the end of their fishing line is a very confused and hurt Simon.

    Summary

    “Please,” he whispers, hoping the eel can’t hear him, “please, I want to live. I just want to live, I don’t want to die. Please don’t let me die.”

    The turning of a new eye upon him feels as if he’s been scrubbed raw suddenly, the truth of him pulled from the dark places he’d made to hide it away as something answers him.

    “What would you do if you were to live, little star?”

    OR

    Simon is rescued at the last minute by *something* and dropped onboard the Hail Mary at quite possibly the worst time. Ryland Grace is fresh off a horrible fishing trip and his best friend is comatose. As the most injured and broken versions of themselves, they meet.

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace finally adjusts into his new life on Erid, a very scared, very upset man is just the thing he needs to disrupt it.

    or

    When Simon is pulled out of the remains of the Iron Lung-- still very much alive and very much disoriented, he must grapple with the fact that everything he once knew to be true is a lie, and that the visions from a deity he doesn't know the name of become rampant. His eternal punishment rests in the form of a very clumsy, very obnoxious blonde man who can't seem to understand he's living in a fishbowl.

    or

    A BloodyMary fanfiction where I attempt to unveil the complicated lore of both Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung. This is the very first fanfiction I've ever posted on A03 and it's the first bit of writing I've made public in over 8 years, so apologies if it takes me a moment to regain my footing!

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    Grace has come to terms with the fact that he will never see another human or Earth again. And that's okay, because he's happy on Erid with Rocky and Adrian. However, with the Hail Mary in mint condition, the Eridians propose that he travel to a red moon in a planetary system with a dead sun, along with Adrian and Rocky, to determine just why it's so...weird. The answer's no. Obviously.

    Until they hear a human distress signal coming from that exact moon, and suddenly everything changes.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.
