come out feeling like hope by GracefulLeopard, PolynomialPandemic
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics)

Summary
Dick fucking Grayson sure has a way of derailing all of Jason’s plans, that’s for sure.
He was expecting to find something different. An exhausted Nightwing leading city repair and rescue efforts, clearly overworked. A stressed and worried older brother, concerned about his little brother’s injuries from the big bad Red Hood. Even something related to Jason being the Red Hood, whether it was pissed or confused or whatever. Not–
Not this. Not a bundled up lump of man with unwashed hair and empty eyes lying on the bed in a messy hotel room, talking about having seen Jason before (despite Jason knowing he hasn’t) and implying that Jason is going to take him to die.
OR:
Red Hood comes looking for Nightwing. Jason Todd doesn't like what he finds.

Summary
Grace pushes himself back from the micro-scope, a movement he has done many many times before without any problems. This time, though, his clumsiness makes him fall back.
Generally, Grace is okay at catching himself. Most of the time he tries to pretend he didn’t trip, or simply yells “I’m fine!” after he straightens up.
Grace doesn’t catch himself. He falls, and his body hits the ground, and Rocky hears horrible, terrible snaps.
Grace’s body is not supposed to make those noises. They are breaking noises.
OR:
On the way to Erid, Grace takes a tumble and breaks something. Rocky has a bad time.

[Podfic] I Learned To Drown Young by GLeoPods (GracefulLeopard), PPan Pods (PolynomialPandemic)

Summary
“I’m kinda fucked either way, if the pit's wearing off.”
No. No, he’s not, because Dick refuses to let him go.
“I’ll kill Ra’s Al Ghul myself if I need to,” Dick says, and means it with every fiber of his being, “I’m not letting you die again.”
Jason watches him carefully, like Dick is a porcelain vase about to topple. “The Pit didn’t revive me,” he says slowly. “You know that. I won’t die if it wears off.”
“You’re just going to take this?” He demands, pushing himself fully upright and staring Jason down, disbelief warring with his fury. ”You, Jason fucking Todd, are going to lie down and let yourself fade away? Just like that?”
OR:
The effects of the Lazarus Pit are wearing off.
Jason didn't want any of the Bats to know he was deteriorating, especially not Dick. But now that he does, nothing can stop Dick from trying to heal his brother.Except, maybe Jason is saving Dick as much as Dick is saving Jason.

Summary
One of Bruce’s many cars pulls up, and Jason waves goodbye to the secretary, opens the door and sits, starting to ask, “So, why’d you pull me out, A?”
For a few seconds, there isn’t a response. Then, an unfamiliar voice replies; “To give you the opportunity of saving his life.”
Jason’s already reaching for the doorhandle, ready to open the door and–
“If you run, Alfred Pennyworth will die.”
That stops him in his tracks. Slowly, Jason turns his head to look at the driver.
“Buckle your seatbelt, Robin,” the Red Hood says.
OR:
Tim Drake died a hero, one whose shoes Jason can't possibly fill.
Unrelatedly, the Red Hood is in town. He's got a robin to steal, two bats to kill, and luckily, a lot of time to spend with his kidnappee.

"I don't ask him to murder."
"Yet."
"I won't. I'll bloody my hands a thousand times before I ask him to pick up a knife."

Or:
Jason never would have come back to Gotham- but Damian needed somewhere to run. Now that he's home, he's determined to make this city a safer place for his kid to live.
If only the bats would get the message to leave them alone.

June/July 2021 Stardust Telephone by eosofthedawn, Falstarin, GracefulLeopard, grimfey (renardroi), HorribleTimes_MiserablePleasures, MinMinh, spice_ghouls, telephonestardust
Fandom Dream SMP, Minecraft (Video Game)

Summary
These stories were written as part of the telephone writing game on the Chasing Stardust server. Essentially, playing a game of telephone, but with writing prompts! Each person came up with a prompt and it got passed on down the line, with everyone only being able to see the section of story directly before theirs. The result is a series of stories with continuity breaks and surrealist / absurdist elements.
Coauthors on works are the prompt writers for the fic. They may or may not have contributed to the work itself (some prompt writers may choose to write wrap-up snippets), but are listed as the only coauthor so that we don't need all of the participants as coauthors.
Event participants:
Fal (Falstarin), Took (foolofatook001), Leo (GracefulLeopard), Stickers, Errol (HorribleTimes_MiserablePleasures), Whoop, Moon (Moonscar), Vee (pointvee), Hawk (Feliadox), Kakti (FlowerFox), Syares (syares), Ozzie (octopus_defence), Ketty (PolynomialPandemic), Cat (HappyCatTail), Exe (Xeamon_exe), Lumi (Liminalumi), Cookies (free_cookiesx), Crow (Alecellent), Bee (AHumbleBumbleBitch), Kat (RandomeProjectedKat), Bread (Blanksandwich), Space (Koolady), Gal (Gal_Writes_shit), Grim (grimfey), Ties (MinMinh), Fenn, and Tet- Words:

Ave Maria by nopaintjustpain
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

"Grace sad, not good. I fix."
"… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."
"No robot," Rocky promises.

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

Summary
The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.
There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.
Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?
