Summary
Ship Engineer ‘Rocky’ of the B.L.I.P.-A knows that he’s going to die in Tau Ceti, he's known since the day that he joined the taskforce as their chief mathematician and engineer. That hasn’t stopped him from holding out all alone in his ailing ship, trying desperately to complete the mission on his own.
God willing, of course. Earth is doomed if he doesn’t.
So, when an alien astrophage-powered craft from another star comes into view, his only hope is that this is the Hail Mary that he has been praying for his entire life.

For a man who lives on a planet without any sunlight, you would think that getting skin cancer would be the least of Grace’s worries.
You would be wrong.

Summary
Cloned Governor KA3-5555555 of the Blue-hat Cat colony ‘Curiosity’ is in trouble. The crops are struggling, the population is stagnant, and communication with home is at an all-time low on account of the nearby galactic GELF civil war nearing its conclusion ‘any day now’ and a government that seems more interested in self-congratulation than actually helping those posted in the outskirts of their glorious empire.
Still, short of Cloister himself showing up uninvited; he might just about turn this dustbowl around.
----
Still recovering from their time imprisoned on floor 13, the crew take a small break from their attempts to use Wildfire’s jump drive to get Kochanski home to check out a nearby terraformed planet populated by a small settlement of Cats.

Summary
With an engineering fault trapping civilians on board an aeroplane attached to a launching space shuttle, a mysterious ship straying close to a cosmic fault line and sending out a distress signal only old computers can read, an underwater resort sunken with people slowly suffocating within, and an earthquake trapping people under a mountain landslide, it was safe to say that international rescue were having a bit of a busy day.
Oh, and Alan Tracy has just been expelled from school. Oh boy.

Summary
“Worry about him later,” Yáo ordered, “for now, make the farm. We can’t let both missions fail because we got distracted."
The 3-person crew of the Hail Mary are headed back home to Earth, Taumeoba in hand.
Or, at least, that should have been the plan if nothing was to go wrong.

I'm Ryland Grace - AMA by sly_as_an_alpaca

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

The Lost, They Long For Futures Gone by Gabriella_Marie

Summary
Cowering from the spectre of the mysterious illness that killed their whole crew, Doctor Salvationseeker-Coordination-2-1, primary microbiologist of the spaceship, is terrified, lost, and so painfully alone. They can’t fix this, they know. They were doomed and so was their planet.
The passing centuries had all but drained them of hope. But then. An alien ship, heading towards them, possibly here for the same reason they were.
Now all they had to do was convince the aliens to work with them, with absolutely no knowledge of their culture or language. Easy, right?
But if they could pull it off, perhaps then, they could save both their worlds.
Or:

Summary
“Please,” Eva whispers, her voice shaking, “don’t make this harder.”
Grace would be more shocked by that show of emotion if he weren’t currently standing on a countertop, attempting to fend off two suit-wearing goons with a ballpoint pen. His daemon told him they were goons from the start, but he didn’t want to believe her. And now look where they are: betrayed by a friend, and menaced by goons.
Daemon AU of selected events from Project Hail Mary.
