Ryland Grace vs. The World-Building Implications of Scenting by Aster_MacGuffin
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), The Fall Guy (2024)
24 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Ryland Grace, savior of humanity, is invited to a gala celebrating the 5th anniversary of solving the Astrophage Crisis. It is a mandatory scent-neutral event requiring everyone to wear heavy-duty blockers. Which is why when he is approached by Tom Ryder stinking the room with his alpha scent, he considers two explanations.
One: Tom Ryder is an entitled jerk who thinks he is above even the mandated policies of the Petrova Foundation.
Two: Since no one else seems to be reacting to Ryder, this means that only Ryland can smell him. Which means their compatibility is so high that it bypassed industrial-grade blockers.
Or in more romantic terms, they are soulmates.
But if that's the case, why does Ryder smell so repulsive to him? Answer: Definitely Option One. Right?
OR:
Scenting is usually taken as an afterthought in Omegaverse. This is an attempt to explore the biological, cultural, and sociopolitical implications of such an ability if taken seriously in our world-building.
An exercise in speculative biology, delivered through the medium of Starstruck (Ryder/Grace).

Improbable Absolution in an Impossible Sea of Stars by Stonesoup_3

Summary
Simon is more convinced that this is hell. He will be forced to relive his last moments alive for eternity, his blood wasted to slick the throat of the eel. He will be chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed, chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed for infinity. He tries to exercise some will in this cycle by falling back into unconsciousness. After all, he figures, if this truly is his punishment, some devil will ensure he’s awake to feel his death.
It is not a devil who wakes him. His eyes open to see a light lift him from the blood, pull him from the grasping hands of the damned.
“Angel?”
The angel does not respond.
------------------------
On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace encounter some weird blips. They've been watching Scooby-Doo and are getting a bit bored so might as well do some sleuthing of their own, right? Who knows, could be someone else trying to fix the Astrophage problem. And it's on the way! How convenient! They aren't prepared to find another human, who is living a blood soaked submarine. In space.

Summary
After everything he’d been through, trust was hard-earned for Simon, and he wasn’t about to give it up all willy-nilly.
Especially not to the nerdy little scientist keen on driving him to distraction every three seconds, even if he was the only other human this side of the galaxy.
What Simon really needed was a step-by-step guide to finally getting some peace for once.Bookmarked by Pendad

Grace Sleep, Rocky Watch by KawaiiSpaghetti

Summary
The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.
But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.
Or: Snippets of Rocky watching Grace sleep during their mission to save their stars

Summary
Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...
Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.
(Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

Summary
That weightless feeling was stronger than ever, and he prayed the angel would not let go of him for fear he'd simply float away.
The angel's face however moved closer to Simon's, and he was still speaking. He strained to listen to his words as white framed his vision, only managing to catch the words 'grace,' 'hail Mary,' and 'safe.'
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is With Thee. Simon remembered. Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Simon was safe, finally.

AKA some bullshit wormhole shenanigans get Simon on the Hail Mary right before they meet Rocky. Bloodymary on at least one rock with hopefully a second on the way!

Holland’s eyes flick over his face, and a faint pink blush appears on his cheeks. It’s utterly adorable. Jack has never wanted to kiss him so badly.
“Good to see you awake, Mr. March!” booms a jovial voice from the doorway. Holland flinches back, yanking his hand away from Jackson’s.
It’s stupid, but it hurts. He’s stupid. He’s in love.

“Our star, unto a special person, will bestow a gift,” my mothers lovely singing voice continued. “In the coldest of times, in despair and sorrow, when all hope seems to be lost, an entity will be birthed.”
I gasped in excitement. “What kind of entity?”
“Of light and luminance, airy and thin, ethereal in nature. A servant of the stars.”
Aka, when Grace and Rocky reunite, Rocky tells Grace how he truly feels about him.
Aka, Rocky being so mushy and sad and so utterly madly in love with Ryland Grace!

Grace knew that there were going to be cultural differences between Eridians and humans.
Rocky knew this, too, but no matter how foolish humans could be, even the densest of them knew this was courting, right? Right??

Summary
Really, the reason he doesn’t think about Courtland is that he’s a coward. His absence, and then death, have impacted every decision he’s ever made, and everything he’s turned out to be. He’s gone most of his life missing an essential part of himself and pretending like it was fine. But it wasn’t fine. It was an amputation that never healed. He can’t think about it because the enormity of it would bring him to his knees. He has to keep moving.
So he doesn’t think about Court for his own sanity, and here is proof, because moments after allowing himself to grieve him for the first time in years, his dead brother is sitting at his kitchen table in the dark, watching him through cautious eyes, spirit-summoned like a ghoul.
Or
Court comes back

Summary
“Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.
“I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”
...
Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?
Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

Summary
Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.
“C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.
The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.
They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.
Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.
The elevator door closes.
or
Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.
