Scary Sleep by constantconfusion14
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Tags
Summary
Distantly, Grace recognizes what he's experiencing is either impossible or has already happened -- but it doesn't make the nightmare any easier to process. The science behind dreaming and nightmares is easy to explain to an Eridian. The emotional turmoil that comes with it is...not so much.

the subtle grace of gravity by disasterdrow, Taraxinium

Summary
Mica handled a lot of unpredictable situations in their job as an emergency hatchling guardian. It came with the territory – there were all kinds of reasons a pebble too young to be alone might need watching by someone who wasn’t a cluster member. But Mica had never had a situation like the call they received from the space science cluster.
“Engineer Rocky is on that ship, apparently injured, and he’s brought back some kind of alien with him. It’s very young, only IIVI years old, it doesn’t have any of its own kind, but it learned some Eridian from Engineer Rocky. Can you come and watch it while Engineer Rocky recovers and we work out what it needs?”
or, Grace gets babysat by an Eridian.

Summary
After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.
Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

“Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”
Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

“My.”
“Correct. But only for names.”

“Earth spider animals are so beautiful and intelligent,” Teacher Grace said compassionately to Combustion-Fighter. A thrum of spider animals was going by on the street as it said this. “I wish there was a way I could talk to them and teach them about magnetism.”
That was called ‘foreshadowing.’Three Eridian kids try and write a romance novel about their teacher.

Summary
“Oh my god, Rocky.” I want to cover my face with my hands, but I’m not about to let go of him. “You’re insatiable.”
“I’m insatiable?” He looms a little closer over my face, forcibly bringing himself back into my field of vision. The bright holodeck lights catch in the sweaty sheen of my skin. “I don’t feel arousal. I am in it for the love of the game.”
Or: Look, if the Eridian scientists want you to test out a technology that lets you and your bestie kinda sorta touch each other for real, are you even a proper scientist if you don't consider how it could be used for sex?

“It’s not a lie! I really really don't want to die.”

Summary
I can’t go home yet; I don’t want to face Adrian’s gentle comfort; I don’t deserve it. I can’t do anything useful anymore. I did my job and saved the planet, and I guess that’s it. No more engineering for Rocky. Maybe I’ll pick up something else, a new career to fill my time if no one will utilize my painstakingly crafted talents in the engineering world anymore. No, I can’t even pretend. I love engineering, I love making things, working on things, making things better. I need a project to fill up my thoughts until nothing else fits. Why won’t they give me one?
Grace would give me one. He loves my inventions, praises me more than I can stand to hear. He wants my work still, right? I’m already halfway to the dome before I even realize it. It’s late for Grace, he might not even be awake, but I need to meet him. I need him.
or Grace settles into Erid life pretty easily. Rocky struggles to do the same.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

i'll eat you up, i love you so by tardigradeschool

Summary
“So, I was thinking about why I’ve been throwing up. I think some of it is the actual, physical properties of the taumoeba, but I honestly think half the battle is the taste. See, humans use smell and taste to tell us if food is going to make us sick, like it’s moldy or smells weird, that sends a signal for disgust to our brains to stop us from eating it, and that triggers nausea.”
“I feel this way about all human food,” I say, and Grace rolls its eyes.
“Sure. But I think my brain is being overprotective about the taumoeba. It’s the same reason why human kids get picky or people throw up during pregnancy, even when the food they’re eating is perfectly edible. My brain is signalling to me that I shouldn’t want it in my body, mostly because -- well, I don’t. It smells like mildew and algae and has the texture of chia seed pudding that was forgotten at the back of a fridge. But that’s making me nauseous when I even think about putting it in my mouth, which makes me more likely to throw up.”
“But how would you eat without using your mouth?” I ask.
Grace grins at me. “That, my friend, is exactly the question I’ve been asking myself. And I think the answer might be something called a nasogastric tube."

Summary
Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.
“Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”
“New word.”
“Uh… companion animal.”

The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known by SerotoninShift

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.
