    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

    You struggle with PTSD, especially while living on your own. Things as simple as work can be incredibly difficult to get through because of past trauma. Sometimes -- well, a lot of the time -- you wish someone was here to help make sure you're taking care of yourself... something you feel was never adequately done for you, even in your childhood.

    Summary

    Spamton has worked with -him- for years. Yet, he has still not gotten used to it. He hates working with him. He hates it when the phone rings.
    This is all revealed at a late night at the bar with Tenna. Well, at least what Spamton is willing to show.

    He promised him fame. Ascension. Eternal life. How could he say no? He would do anything for that. His devotion knew no bounds. Or did it? He was afraid of his God, but fear was good, right?
