In Whose Shade They Will Never Sit by LatticeJaysmith
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
17 Apr 2026

Summary
Sometimes, when Rocky is sleeping, Grace can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Rocky hadn’t been here. It’s not a fun reality to ponder. While part of him gives a weak assurance that he would have figured something out, he knows that isn’t true. Because Rocky is his reason to figure something out.
Then his mind flips the script. What if Grace had never shown up? Rocky would have been out here, alone. A single Eridian on a big ship, with no one to watch him sleep.
And just when he’s about to sooth his mind with the fact that neither of those things came to pass, a new scenario sprouts unbidden from his mind. What if someone else arrives after Rocky and him leave?
What if they get here, and they’re all alone.

Summary
The elevator's receiver array picks up a garbage signal beamed in from deep space. No matter their attempts, Eridian scientists cannot make top or bottom of it. A misfire, or an echo of that long lost crew's final transmission, most likely. It is recorded, but never publicized.
And then it happens again.

Summary
When the burger factory was first commissioned, I was promised it would be for therapeutic cloning only. Muscle tissue for meburgers; organs if I needed them; but no experimenting with brain tissue. And absolutely no reproductive cloning – that is, making a whole other me. My provisions were ratified by the Eridian legislative body over a decade ago, and it's the reason I gave up my stem cells willingly – well, that, and I missed meat. A lot.
I mean, I miss hugs too, but not so badly I would condemn another human to live his entire life inside this dome with me. Don't get me wrong, I like Erid; I'm happy here. But to never know Earth, to only have yours truly for human company… that's a pretty raw deal. I couldn't conscience bringing a new life into the wrong world – and neither could my Eridian hosts.
Or so I thought.

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
Mechanical technopaths didn’t often make it to high ranks in the military. Pete knew that, and he didn’t much care. He wanted to fly the planes. He didn’t want to be an admiral or whatever. That sounded boring as hell. It turned out it was like that for every MT. Whatever machine they preferred to interface with, an MT couldn’t be happy, sometimes couldn’t survive without regular access to it.
There was another reason that MT’s didn’t make high ranks, though, something that they didn’t tell you, something that you learned on the very first day when they brought you into the Tech Pits for your intake screening and health assessment.

Summary
Until several weeks into Top Gun, Slider isn’t sure what Goose sees in his pilot, isn’t sure what makes him so loyal to the little shit. Because, for all that Maverick is Ice’s equal (or near equal, yeah, yeah, Ice) in the air, he’s still a scrappy little shit on the ground.
In this story, the events of the original Top Gun will be revisited, tragedy explored, and then onward to the Mission and reconciliation. This started out as a thought experiment inspired by 'Government Documents Stolen for the Ghost of You' by RevengeIsRead and evolved from there.

“You said you need a pilot, ma’am? Captain Pete Mitchell, United States Navy. I’ve been an aviator for 35 years.”
She can feel her eyes watering up in relief. Thank you, God, she sends heavenward, into the clouds even higher than their cruising altitude.
“Can you fly an A320?”
Captain Mitchell smiles at her and, good lord, he really is a miracle.
“Ma’am, if it has wings, I can fly it,” he winks and adds, “Hell, I can probably manage even if it doesn’t.”

Or; Maverick's red-eye flight home to San Diego is more eventful than he might have hoped.

Summary
"You’re a shifter,” Goose repeated, disbelieving, “and… you don’t know whether your shift form might have UV vision? You never even researched that much?”
“It’s a useless animal, Goose. I’m better off without it.”
“You know, I hear what you’re saying, but I just don’t believe that.”
Maverick glared at him, the effect somewhat undermined by the soup spoon half way out of his mouth. “You have this idea that every shifter is the same, that everybody wants to show off and brag and loves their shift form, but it’s not true, Goose. If I wanted to talk about it, I’d have talked about it.”

This wasn’t supposed to happen. He wasn’t—-he wasn’t supposed to be actually in danger. This—-he knew there’d be hazing. There always was when you joined a new class or squadron but—-
“Good luck there Bob,” someone snickered. “God, what a name, huh?”
“Gonna cry, Bob? Baby on board?”
“Beast of burden, more like. Good luck to whoever’s saddled with his quiet ass.”
