    Summary

    You’re always drawn to his eyes, such a curious cloudy blue, but with his glasses hooked in the collar of his shirt instead of sitting crooked on the bridge of his nose, his stare is different. He seems older without them; the lines under his eyes are more prominent, and there are more shadows on his face, and his eyes are narrowed a little bit like he’s studying you.

    You suck in a breath through gritted teeth, the air hissing as you tug it into your mouth. He is studying you, his hands frozen on the broom handle as he reads your body language and tries to make sense of it. He flexes his arms again to test you, and you hum, you think, or maybe whine. Heat blooms in your chest and trickles through your stomach. Grace tilts his head. His eyes narrow a little bit more. Is he judging you? He’s judging you.

    You think you like it.

    Summary

    “You’re awake!” He exclaims, taking several steps forward to where you stand next to the ladder, and begins speaking quickly. “I’ve been trying to figure out how I could wake you. The computer hasn’t been helpful at all, and all those medical textbooks don’t have information about situations like this—”
    He cuts himself off, perhaps realizing that your eyes are wide at the flurry of information he throws at you. “Sorry, I got ahead of myself,” He apologizes, running a hand through his hair again and adjusting the gold glasses that had been slipping down his nose. “You just woke up, and I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Ry—”
    “Ryland Grace,” You complete for him without thinking.
    “You remember?” He exclaims, his eyes brightening.
    You pause. How did you know that? You didn’t remember your own name until two minutes ago, yet you instinctively knew his. Something about him was familiar, but you couldn’t put your finger on it.

    You wake up nine days late aboard the Hail Mary with no memories and the faint feeling that you know Ryland Grace, the only other person aboard the ship. Oh, and he just met an alien.

    Summary

    She wasnt supposed to wake up, ever. None of her belongings were on the ship. Her name was a mystery, no trace of it anywhere, not even in the ships manifest. Her purpose was clear to Ryland. And it disgusted him.

    Summary

    (This will be a mix of book cannon and movie cannon which is the best of both worlds) As one of humanity's youngest astronauts, you have spent your entire career proving that you belong among the best. When you're assigned to train Dr. Ryland Grace for Project Hail Mary, you expects an exhausting afternoon spent babysitting a brilliant but hopelessly unqualified scientist.
    Instead, you find yourself looking forward to every simulator session.
    As the Hail Mary mission draws closer, an unlikely friendship forms between an astronaut preparing to die for Earth and a scientist who was never supposed to be on the ship at all.
    But space is vast, lonely, and unforgiving. And when everything goes wrong millions of miles from home, you and Ryland may find yourself as the last two people aboard humanity's final hope.
