    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.
    (Simon thinks he's dead and that Grace as an angel for A While due to continued misunderstandings)

    Summary

    ”…hello? Hello? This is Captain Collins of the Nexus Wayfarer, please respond if anyone down there can hear us.”

    ”..Holy shit.”

    They were getting visitors.

     

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

    Years after Grace has settled into his new life in his new body, a message comes through on the radio from some visitors from Earth. Now Grace has to navigate being reintroduced to people who thought he was dead and was still human.
    He's lucky to have his two mates and his daughter with him for support, however.

    This fic will make zero sense unless you read the first part or the series, Rebirth! Go read that first before this.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was 5 years old the first time he died. He doesn’t remember much of it, and honestly if his brother Courtland didn’t remember it in detail he’d probably assume the whole thing was a particularly vivid nightmare.

    ********************************************************************

    Immortal Grace AU, with a generous helping of Coltland Gentry. Where being functionally immortal doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things, but still has echoes through the timelines.

    Updates will be slow during Artfight :D

    Summary

    K closes his eyes, knowing that it will be for the last time.
    Snowflakes settle gently on his face as he takes shallow breaths when a sudden shout interrupts the tranquility.
    "Rocky! Come here and help me!"
    Why does this voice sound like my own? K thinks to himself.
    Strong hands grab his shoulders and give him a shake. He wants to complain, but all he can manage is a moan. The hands examine him, his coat is pulled open, and the pain intensifies when somebody touches his wounds.
    "Oh shoot! No no no no no! Don't you dare die on me!" his 'own' voice pleads with him. Then it yells at someone else, "Get Adrian! Hurry!"

    or:

    When Ryland Grace finally returns to Earth, he has to come to terms with the fact that the world has changed a lot in his absence.

    Summary

    "Grace have more limbs than other humans. Why, question? Is mutation, question?"

    "Not a mutation," he clarifies. "Well. Not an uncommon mutation, at least. Don't go around asking people if they're mutated ever, actually," he points at Rocky. "It's rude."

    "Mm. Okay." Grace watches him shuffle in place for a moment, claws tapping. "Can tell Rocky anyway. Is not rude if us. Few boundaries now."

    "Yeah," he concedes. "Few boundaries now." He allows the blanket to slip over the curve of his shoulder so his wings might stretch out, feathers trembling and shivering at their tips.

    //

    Or: the one where Grace has wings. And it doesn't change anything, except in all the ways that it changes everything.

    Summary

    To be simple—the Collective were so very, very close to defeating death completely—but then the astrophage began to devour the sun, and the planet began to become deathly cold, and death started dancing so very, very close to the futures of the planet’s dwellers.

    But death found the crew—death warped the crew’s bodies—death forced the sole survivor to deposit the corpses into the relentless ocean of space, and to wait forever for the whispers to resume.

    —OR—

    Rocky does his best to keep Grace alive on the journey home to Erid. He comes very, very close to failing—but recognizes the only thing he can do to fix the weird space blob who's basically his only connection to reality at this point.

    Ryland Grace's body can be replaced.

    Ryland Grace's body doesn't need to survive—but his brain does.

    Following Grace's very very dubious consent to whatever Rocky's doing, Rocky does his very best to save the saviour of the stars—and it works. Cue the chaos and recovery.

    Summary

    Overwhelmed by how isolated he is in a room full of intimate couples at the crew and staff karaoke party, Ryland Grace stumbles drunk out onto the flight deck seeking the comfort of a friend. With the weight of the world pressing down on her shoulders, Eva Stratt doesn’t have the time and energy to maintain interpersonal bonds with the members of her taskforce. Yet, she’s not sure she wants to leave Grace alone in this vulnerable state, either.

    Summary

    Olesya and Yáo boarded the Hail Mary expecting to die. The mission was always meant to be a one-way trip, and both made peace with that long before launch.

    Then they survived.

    After spending years in a coma, they wake on Erid to discover that humanity has been saved, they are alive, and a future they never expected to have is suddenly within reach. For the first time since leaving Earth, the possibility of going home feels real, but the hope doesn't last long.

    The Hail Mary will never fly again. The ship was damaged beyond repair, and there is no way back to Earth. Olesya and Yáo find themselves grappling with a cruel reality: they had already accepted death, but accepting life on an alien world proves to be far more difficult. What was once a sacrifice they chose has become a future they never agreed to.

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...

    Summary

    “Knock Knock.”

    Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper. 
    ...

    How did he know that?

    A time-travel, sibling au where Ryland is sent back to the moment Project Hail Mary began, gifting him a second chance at reuniting with his brothers before returning to space. Now if only the brothers, who remember everything, can convince him to stay this time.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace saved Earth, he saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.

    Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.

    But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.

     

    or Grace learning to be an Eridian

    ☀︎ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ◎

    For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
    “Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
    Because, well—
    This might be the last time I ever cried.
    “No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
    “Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
    He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
    “Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
    “Still no understand humor.”

    Summary

    Something soft but aching panged in his heart as he looked at these little ones, and wondered how many of them were siblings. How many of them shared parents in some way or another. How much did they resemble their parents, he wondered. Would Rocky and Adrian's kids resemble either of them? He hoped so. Adrian's green, Rocky's carapace. Their passion for science, their curiosity and kindness. Their love for each other, and him. He wouldn't get to see them grow up. Eridians lived for so long, and humans… didn't. They wouldn't even be in their teens when he died.

    AKA the one where Dr. Ryland Grace gets baby fever, and his mates are more than happy to accommodate.

    Changed or not, five limbs or four, she had a mission to do. Billions of people were counting on her, trillions of life forms. So long as she had breath in this fucked up body of hers, she would not rest until she saved the Earth or died trying. And then died after. Only heroes got the heroin overdose.

    Or

    Ilyukhina and Yáo were not buried in space, but on Erid, along with the crew of the Blip-A. For reasons beyond their understanding, they both wake back up, but something is seriously wrong with them. And why isn't Grace among them?
