    Summary

    Rocky: Grace's birthday! Due to comparatively shorter Eridian years, this happens much more often than it did on Earth. But this time Rocky is extra extra extra excite, because he got Grace a super special present!

    Grace: Always happy when Rocky's excited, but sorta hopes that the "special present" is the cancellation of all future birthday celebrations.

    Simon: Is the special present. Is Not Having A Good Time About It.

    Adrian: At wits end.

    · · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

    Or: This author's cheeky response to the fics with throwaway lines tying Simon's fate to Grace's happiness. I cringe every time.

    (Warning: In this AU, Rocky has lost all good sense and decency.)

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace and Rocky encounter a strange anomaly in deep space, they meet Simon, a man in desperate need of rest and healing.

    Luckily, Grace knew just the man for the job. He was already missing human company, anyways.

    Summary

    “Big news! Statement.” Rocky chimes brightly.

    “Okaaaay. Lay it on me.”

    “Two things. First thing.” Rocky begins, holding one arm up, “Eridian crew return safe and sound from mission!”

    “That’s great!” He nods.

    Rocky holds up a second arm.

    “Second thing: Eridian crew find strange moon. No landmasses. Consisted entirely of an ocean of blood.”

    “That is...decidedly not great."

    (or: how two humans that have little trust in humanity learn to be comfortably human with one another.)

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been housing three for some time. The dinner situation is not going very well.

    Rocky can get along fine on Eridian food, and due to his mutations, Simon can too.

    It's Grace's lack of Earth rations that are the problem.

     

    OR

     

    Simon and Rocky have to watch as their saving Grace starves in front of them.

    Summary

    “Will arrive at Erid in three months. Rocky get smartest Eridians to make food for human grace and help alien wake up.” Rocky says with a little more hope and incline in his voice, causing the edge of my lips to curl upwards slightly.

    Rocky always does his best to say what he thinks I need to hear, and, for the most part, he isn't too far from the mark.

    “Yeah…Everything will be okay” I respond, and hope that it's true.

    -

    Grace and Rocky have made it through a bulk of their trip to Erid. In their travels, the two discover a man in the middle of dead space- tethered to nothing, with no oxygen tank and yet alive all the same.

    Simon has been in a coma on the Hail Mary for three months now, and Grace is trying to stay sane.

    Summary

    William hates that Dolkness girl, but he's not stupid. He shares sword training class with her, so he keeps seeing her throw Ashbatten around. More importantly, he sees her putting in honest to goddess effort, and that makes no sense to him.

    Basically William respects hard work and warms up enough to Yumi to start talking to her. As it turns out, Yumi may not be the most social, but she loves to talk and teach about her insterests, and it just so happens that her interests involve knowledge about how the world functions that turns William's entire world on top of its head.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    As an internet streamer, Simon had to keep a lot of things about his life secret even if he wanted to talk to someone about it. His past, his hobbies, hell even his clothing choices sometimes. Of course, it was nearly the same for Grace, albeit much less since he had his best friend.
    None could really predict that this would happen, but they both knew they wouldn’t hear the end of it from Rocky and Adrian wasn't about to step in.

    Summary

    "So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.

    "Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.

    Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.

    Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."

    "Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.

    "Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.

    Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.

    ***

    Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace figured out he was on a suicide mission and also remembered who he was. Exactly in that order.
    And between trying to save his planet and getting to know his new alien friend, Ryland thought he was kind of on the threshold for crazy stuff happening in his life. But of course the universe has to prove him wrong by sending him an impossible transmission, light years away from the nearest civilization.

     

    Or: Grace picks up Simon like a feral cat and drags him along as he saves his planet. Rocky is not happy about this.

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

    La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.

    “Can you…help me with something?”

    ---

    Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.
