Summary
Atreus’s frustration rises to a boiling point. A point of anger where he goes nonverbal, just staring at the Kratos he’s made up out of contorted aspects and beliefs and memories. A question he’s asked himself for three years: does father love me because I’m strong? Well before Fimbulwinter and well before Fenrir’s death, and well before these murals and Týr and them finding out he’s a Jotunn, and everything falling apart. Does he love me because I am strong, or am I strong because he loves me, is Atreus’s father’s love conditional, or is Atreus’s existence conditional on Kratos?
Everything becomes too complex.
“Or would I love you if you were a stillborn lamb?”
Atreus’s anger forces him to run.

Summary
Kratos had longed for many things throughout the years. He’d longed for his first family, even if just for a moment, to apologize wholeheartedly. He longed for Faye, and her infinite wisdom that guided him in tricks and teases through the darkest of hours. He longed for the simpler times, if there ever were any, and even if there weren't.
But lately, he’d been longing most of all for his son. To hold him once more, to see his smile. Atreus had gone on his own journey 4 years ago, and he was now a man, 18. Kratos wanted to see his son again, but he’d return when he was ready. Perhaps that time came sooner than anticipated.

Summary
“Our home is open to you, if you would accept it.” Kratos spoke, even and calm. “If there is anywhere you would rather go, I will take you there.”
For a beat, Mimir is silent in shock.
“You don’t have to trouble yourself for me, Brother.” Mimir explained.“It is not trouble.”
-
-
“You need to talk to your boy.”Kratos looked up suddenly from where he’d been sharpening hunting knives. Mimir would gulp if he could.
“About what?” Kratos asked, with well concealed panic that would go unnoticed by an untrained eye.“Ideally? Anything.” Mimir said, desperate.
-
Kratos was not a man of many words. While this did not change, the family dynamic certainly did.
Things were not perfect, but no family ever was. Mimir bridged the gaps of communication wherever he could.-
TLDR; Somehow, despite being a disembodied head strapped to a belt, Mimir becomes a member of the family.Series

Summary
Orange and black tapestries adorned the tiny market stall, with the familiar etchings of Greek craftsmanship decorating vases and pottery that lined the back shelves. The inviting scents of honey cakes and fine wine filled his heart with a terrible ache of longing that forced him to look away. Greece was a land that he’d left far behind him, and he wasn’t ready to visit that grief now.
or: kratos, through the stubbornness of his son, revisits what greece has to offer.

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
„You know who you are,“ Carl says softly.
The world fades to black.
He bolts upright in his cot, gasping for air, the low hum of the Vat vibrating through the metal floorboards.
Oh, fudge.or, the one where Ryland wakes up over and over on the day of the goodbye party on Stratt's Vat, after the launch of the Hail Mary. His friends die, or he dies, and his boss-friend repeatedly sentences him to death. He just wants it to stop.

Guiltily Not Regretful by Sage_Green_Converse_24678
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

Summary
"It was a strange and abnormal experience to be guilty of something Stratt did not regret."
The thing about emotions and logic, is that both can contradict each other and be perfectly correct at the same time.

Eva Stratt wakes up to a call heralding the end of the world. It’s nothing new, the world has been ending since the sun started to dim but something about this is different, calling up ghosts from Eva’s past and faces she’d long since buried.

past tense; in memoriam by jamais_vu0

Summary
“How far did he get?”
“Almost touched the fence,” Carl says.
“He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired.
“Past tense already?”
Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now.
(eva stratt has just kidnapped her second-in-command. eva stratt has just lost her closest friend.)

Ryland Grace is not going to be one of those *crazy* time travellers. He has more sense than that. He can totally fix things and get back home and nobody will ever be the wiser. The Acting thrum would be so proud of how well he is pulling this off right now.

"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
I still think in Earth units sometimes, translating for the human that isn’t even here. Maybe it is subconscious, because if Grace were here, he would know how to figure out what happened.
Like how Taumoeba infected my ship.
