  Summary

  Sierra Six is a lot of things. Smart, resourceful, capable, unflappable and ruthless.

  Holland March is almost none of those things.

  Two men that couldn't be more opposite keep meeting each other again and again, and slowly Holland's warmth melts the ice Six sealed himself in decades ago.

  Summary

  Just another standard, run-of-the-mill totally normal "Grace and Rocky find a weird tin can with a person (????) inside" fic that's just a thinly veiled excuse to write Simon choking out Grace

  Summary

  Hey, you. Walk with me. Consider:

  Colt and Ryland have been estranged for six years. On the day Grace was sent off, he called Colt and left a flurry of voicemails begging for him to answer. Colt didn't find out until too late. He spirals further and further, obsessing over the Project that his brother was part of, sometimes calling his brother's phone just to listen to his non-panicked voice and maybe leave voicemails to cope with the grief.

  Colt has no idea who even has his brother's phone until a man shows up at his door saying he worked security for the Project. He was Ryland's personal guard. And he knows what happened.

   

  This fic follows Colt and Carl as they're brought together by their mutual loss, guilt, and shame. Carl confides a lot in Colt... including helping Colt write a movie about Project Hail Mary, exposing the truths hidden from the world by one Eva Stratt.

  "Your brother deserves to have his story told. The right way."

  Summary

  What if, instead of Ryland Grace being sent on the Hail Mary, it was Mary that was sent to Tau Ceti on the Saving Grace? And what if, instead of meeting Rocky, she meets the Blip-A?

  Enter: Doctor Marisol Sòng, high school teacher, speculative biologist, and humanity's Saving Grace.

  Summary

  Dr. Ryland Grace was enjoying his day off.

  It was still morning, so he was sipping his cup of coffee as he sat in one of his chairs, wrapped in his colorful quilt. He held a tablet in one hand, using it to read one of the thousands of books available to him. It was quiet in his home- peaceful and cozy, just the way he liked it. He expected to be alone most of the day, since Rocky mentioned having things to do today. He wasn’t sure what, but it’s not like Grace knew every single thing Rocky got up to.

  Rocky had a job, after all.

  Of course, that wasn’t to say that Grace didn’t. Of course he did. He was teaching the next generation of Science Eridians(tm), and he couldn’t be more proud. They were quick learners, thanks to the Eridian’s near-photographic memory. He should probably spend some time coming up with his lesson plan for his next class.

  One more chapter, then he would do his lesson planning. He was too cozy to move.

  Alas, the universe rarely let him stick to his plans.
