    Summary

    Eyes wide, he startled. Senku shot upright, finding himself in a sitting position at a speed that his old gym teacher would marvel at. Frantic observations of his surroundings yielded inconclusive results: he was somewhere, didn’t know where, that was somehow even more advanced technologically than modern-day Japan! What the hell?!

    The streets were bustling with people. Hundreds of actual people, no petrification marks in sight, just… walking around with their shopping bags and talking animatedly. Acting as though nothing had happened.

    It was almost as if the petrification event didn’t even happen.

    ---

    Ishigami Senku gets thrown into the MHA world and hits the ground. Hard.

    One foot in through the door and it was like blood in the water. He noticed the guy, of course, it was hard not to. Broad shoulders, strong jaw, spider-leg eyelashes and a thin, pink mouth that’s wet from bad vodka.

    Rocky watches Grace ride a mechanical bull. What happens next is totally his choice.

    Summary

    Given the fact that their shipguest missing an arm, an eye, and had shown up with so many corrosive burns that he should be dead, the odds of him regaining consciousness are low enough as is. Grace doesn’t need to know the numbers to know they’re bad. And if he’s not going to wake up, surely he wouldn’t care if Grace slept next to him, if he just took a nap——

    It’s invasive, Grace’s inner Jiminy Cricket chirps. It’s wrong, and you know it. The kind of thing that crazy people do, you’re not crazy, are you?

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    How old was he, even? He’d been thirty-five when he left Earth — would that make him seventy-five, or forty-six, or forty-two once he returned?

    Grace is returning to Earth, but what will that mean for him?

    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

    Grace and Rocky’s unlikely friendship saved the day. They found the cure to save the stars. Their mission is done. Now, Grace thinks, they'll have to say goodbye.

    But Rocky has seen the signs: regardless of what Grace thinks, Earth is not safe. It's a hard decision to make- but he will keep Grace from harm.

    Even if it has to be against Grace's will.

    Summary

    Simon believes he's hallucinating. That the man he keeps seeing and the pristine ship he repeatedly finds himself in aren't real. That that monster is fucking with his head.

    Grace believes he's got a lot more on his plate than just the fate of the earth, and he's not sure which task is more impossible: stopping the astrophage without any memories, or helping one man in another universe.

    OR

    By getting yanked between universes, Grace gets to experience the horrors, Simon gets to save the stars, and Rocky gets two (2!) humans for the price of one.

    --------------------

    "-so I think, and here's the part I'm really afraid of, I think ninety nine point nine percent of humanity got turned into blood soup," Grace says.

    "And Simon currently trapped in human blood soup, question?" Rocky asks.

    He lets his head fall back and closes his eyes. "Hes in the soup. Hes so in the soup Rocky."

    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

    "Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"

    There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.

    Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."

    Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."

    "Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."

    "Rock, someone's on the ship."

    —-—-—-—-—-—

    An AU where Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture both happen in the same universe, but at different times.
