    Summary

    "Olesya," she says. "Ilyukhina. I'm the engineer here, and he is pilot and commander." She hooks her thumb over at Yao as she says it.

    "You," she continues, gesturing forwards with both hands, "are our scientist. I hope you remember science?"

    "Um." Do I remember science? I think so.

    Summary

    "There's no need to negotiate for your safety, Doctor Grace," Stratt says carefully. "I can assure you, after saving the world, you will be looked after."

    "Um, no," he says, shaking his head. "I'm not negotiating for my safety." He steps aside. “I’m negotiating for theirs.”

    They step into the light of the open doorway; Simon, squinting hard against the vivid sun with his hand raised to shield his eyes and Rocky, who chirps a casual "Hello, humans!" with a wave.

    There’s a gasp; someone takes a step backward; one of the military personnel raises their rifle slightly before Stratt makes a sharp gesture for them to stand down.

    Grace doesn’t have eyes for them - he only looks at Stratt.

    And he decides, then and there, to replace the image of Stratt’s face sending him to his death, full of remorse and sadness, with the one in front of him: utter, complete disbelief.

    Grace thinks he'll treasure it forever.

    Summary

    Doctor Ryland Grace didn't, exactly, have a family. Not in the conventional sense. Not in the way Stratt would ever think to look.

    But that came with being a Ken from Barbieland in a world that did not believe in magic.

    Ryland is a Ken. It changes nothing and everything.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace woke with a start, opening his eyes before quickly squeezing them shut against the bright light of the room. His head was tipped back, the top pressing back into a soft surface. Turning his face to the side, away from the direct view of the light, he gave a few cautious blinks until his eyes adjusted. After a moment, he carefully looked up, rolling his head into an upright position to look around the room.
    It featured two rows of reclined leather chairs, the back row elevated slightly above the front. The right arm of each chair featured a few buttons on a small keypad. In each seat there was a member of the Project Hail Mary research and mission team. Most of the members were blinking awake like he was, although some were still unconscious.

    or
    The members of the Project Hail Mary find themselves in a cinema, forced to watch a film which supposedly shows their future. Their captor tells them this will allow them to save Earth (and Erid) but how?

    or
    A watching the film fic because every fandom needs one.

    Astrophage, Ilyukhina thought, was not going to be the death of them all.

    But rather, one Ryland Grace and his new pet alien-rock friend.

    -----oO*Oo-----

    Olesya Ilyukhina and Commander Yáo Li-Jie survive their voyage into space. This changes everything.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Just as Grace tuned and headed to the dormitory, his foot banged into the nearest set of drawers. He let out a high-pitched yelp at the pain that shot through him.

    Worse, embarrassment shot through him. He had let the sound escape him in his surprise.

    Rocky startled at the noises. "Grace is okay, question?"

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    What if Grace was younger than we all thought? What if Grace was like 12 to 13, and his mannerisms are the reason Rocky treats him like a child? When comparing Grace's way of acting to actual human children, while watching films, and then doing some research. Grace is Pebble, and sadly, he will never live this down. 🤣

    Or

    Due to time relativity and the oddities of space and astrophage radiation, Grace has grown younger, and his aging has stagnated. Something Rocky is grateful for, but also something that will bring a lot of misunderstandings for Grace. Such as being Rocky's new alien pebble.

    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    “And who are you with?”

    “The Petrova Taskforce. I believe you know why we exist.”

    “I do know what the Petrova line is,” I agree. “If you’re coming to a middle school science teacher about it, I must be your Hail Mary.”

    Stratt’s face splinters into a small, sharp smile. “Yes. I believe you are.”

    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    After so long without human connection, Ryland Grace has finally made peace with the fact that he'd never get to see another living human again. Specifically, none of his students. Teaching the Eridian pebbles was nice, but it wasn't like teaching back on earth. When him and Rocky agree to go on a trip to see how the Taumoeba samples are holding up, the last thing he expects to get is a radio signal coming from a red moon that suddenly showed up in Erid's atmosphere... On the other side of the radio? A young boy, fighting for a life he never even believed he deserved.

    Summary

    Rocky didn't mention the asteroid belt surrounding Erid's Solar System. After a meteor collides with the Mary, Rocky suffers a fall and is out for the count. Grace knows very little Eridian, but by God, he's gonna get his friend some help.

    It's just too bad the Eridians think they're talking to a pebble.

    "Have fi-x," he whistled. "Life eat. Hurt bad."

    Oh, God, this was not gonna work. Not one bit.

    AKA, someone’s going to have to hold Rocky back from fighting the entirety of the human race for how sad they made Grace.

    That someone will not be Adrian.
