Anatomy of a Whale Fall by Pokimoko
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
02 May 2026
Tags
Summary
“When dead whales sink down to the sea floor, they become a whole”—Grace waves his hands in a big circle and draws out the word to emphasise his point—“ecosystem for a tonne of bottom dwelling creatures down there.
“To them, it’s the equivalent of an oasis falling from the sky and landing in the middle of a desert. It can feed them for decades, and gosh, the microbes that can be found there. I would love to study a whale fall...if they weren't at the bottom of the ocean. Eugh.” He shudders dramatically. “If I never have to go in a submarine, I will die happy.”
Eva wonders if the whale died happy. Or, at least, happy to know its death would bring life to so many. Surely that was a comfort when faced with the end.

(or: Eva drifts along a sea of memories, in which whales swim ever underneath)

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

A Collection of Incidents In Which Everyone Except Grace and Stratt Are Under the Incorrect Assumption that Grace and Stratt are Together, and Try to Prove it by LochNessBlaize
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
06 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
The crew of Stratt's Vat and the Petrova Taskforce in general are almost entirely under the assumption that its two most high-ranked members are 'engaged in sexual activity,' as some of them would put it. They are all wrong.
The truth is that the two of them are friends, and nothing else. Ryland is also a walking aroace stereotype... except he doesn't know what it even means to be aroace. Will someone eventually tell him? Maybe.
Sorry about the title. I'm not great at them.Bookmarked by ZTheFool

Summary
The nightmares were getting worse, and started to feel too real. Part of him longed to talk about them, but with who? Grace was the most obvious choice but he carried so much weight on his shoulders already, that he couldn’t add to his load. Even if the man would take on the extra pressure with a smile. He really was an angel, so willing to give every part of himself to anyone who needed some grace.

Summary
Eridians have recreated more of Earth than Grace could have imagined. Waves, trees, flowers — Grace is grateful for all of it. Simon feels the same, even if he doesn’t say as much. Grace can tell from how curious Simon has become.
Answering his questions about plant life was a breakthrough for their relationship. So, as long as Simon wants to know something, Grace is willing to teach him about it. It's just that giving a lesson on this particular flower isn't quite like what Grace is used to teaching about. After all, it's not like he'd have ever brought up marijuana in the classroom.

I Didn't Mean That by Bunny_innit_WQ

Summary
This is all Rocky's fault. He was stupid, stupid, stupid. How could he be so stupid and let this happen? Between the two of them, Grace was supposed to be the stupid one, not Rocky.
They were supposed to be okay, fine. Rocky and Grace saved the stars, saved Earth and Erid, saved humans and eridians. Rocky helped Grace and Grace helped Rocky. Then Grace saved Rocky. So Rocky had to save Grace.
Now they're supposed to be safe and fine.
But Grace isn't fine. Not at all. And it's all his fault.
Or, Grace accidentally comes into contact with Erid bacteria and gets sick, Rocky (understandably) panics

fifteen minute requiem by triguys

18 Apr 2026

Summary
After the Hail Mary launches, the team erupts into celebratory cheers. Despite the gravity of the mission, it is a relief that months and months of work have finally culminated in a successful launch. Whether it will be a successful mission, they do not know, and they will not know for years to come. For now there is nothing to do but cheer and make plans for drinks, a bit of welcome levity in the non-stop stress of an incoming apocalypse.
Eva Stratt does not celebrate.

Summary
In relative terms, the trip from the Tau Ceti system to the 40 Eridani system takes the Hail Mary a little over three Earth years.
This is what happens when you put two snarky aliens in a small, enclosed space for that long.- Language:

What Evolution Made Us by the_adventure_writer1379
Fandoms: Iron Lung (2026), Project Hail Mary (2026)
28 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
It's something of an unspoken commandment that when you hear the SOS beacon, you respond, no matter what. Grace knows this. He knows that it might jeopardize the mission, but he can't leave someone in danger. He can't.
***
Through a bunch of coincidences and the author pulling many worldbuilding strings, the Hail Mary picks up a faint distress signal and goes to investigate. When it does, what should it find but an ocean of blood on a tiny moon drifting in a starless void.
