    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

    Simon died. He felt it, something ripping him open from the inside and tearing his body apart. There should have been no coming back from that end and yet, here he is. 

    The monster had spoken of a pinhole god, curious and wanting to understand their universe. Then it forcibly pushed him into the Light, where something much bigger than him, to what Simon is little more than a speck of dust, had looked straight at Simon. Had seen him, known him, said his name.

    Maybe seeing Simon sacrificing himself for the good of humanity, had earned him one last chance at life. Not enough to balance the scales of the afterlife but enough to be saved for now.

    Or maybe this god is nothing like the one Simon knows of, could not give less of a shit what Simon is and what he’s done, and is just curious to see what a dead man would do if left alive. 

    Either way, Simon lives.

    Fuck.

    --

    Simon dies and lives again. (And finds something to be brave for in the process.)

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    ***

    "What do you WANT?"

    “I just want you to live!” Grace threw up his hands in exasperation “Is that so wrong? Is that so hard to believe?!—” he lowered his hands and quieted his voice. It took enormous effort. “I just want you to stay alive, and I need you to just sit still so you don’t die.”

    The man’s expression dissolved from roiling rage to bafflement. There was something else too though. Grace could see cogs spinning behind the man’s eyes. Something about that answer had stuck.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt knew that the Hail Mary's mission would be tough. Human psyches are so very fragile, and emotions can make people act erratically.
    That was why she chose a fourth member of the Hail Mary crew. Someone who could make difficult decisions.

    Enter: Simon.
