    Summary

    Mark Watney is brought in to consult on Project Hail Mary, where he meets a microbiologist named Ryland Grace. For nine months, they work together, eat together, run together, and become friends. Eva Stratt approves of the friendship for reasons of her own, which Watney sees, and Grace does not. Then the Hail Mary launches without warning. Watney does not forgive Stratt. He does something else with the rest of his life instead. Forty years later, three veterans of isolation meet around teatime in Chicago.

    Ryland Grace is pretty sure ships aren’t supposed to act like this.

    Summary

    It's a remarkable fluke that Earth has managed: sending one scientist into space on one-way trip only to discover him back in the solar system after three decades, and sending an entirely different astronaut for a circuit up to Mars and back just for disaster to strike and he's left stranded alone on the planet. Wilder still that the timelines align, and both space-farers end up on the same ship back home.

    Or:
    Project Hail Mary x The Martian crossover because the parallels go crazy and I needed to think thoughts that were not just spiraling about PHM so I rewatched The Martian and roped my other favourite scifi main character into it too. Featuring the dumbest fic title I have ever come up with.

    Summary

    “Eva Stratt, you are under arrest.”

    She wonders what they’ll charge her with as they place the handcuffs around her wrists. Environmental destruction, certainly. Extortion and racketeering? Probably. Someone could make the case for smuggling—it would be interesting if they got her on piracy. She turns to give her final good-byes, and her heart stops.

    “Ryland Grace, you are under arrest.”

    OR

    Eva Stratt was prepared to be the world's scapegoat. She'd angered too many people and skirted too many rules not to be. She didn't expect Ryland Grace to get arrested right alongside her.

    Summary

    ———

    In other words, Eva watches Grace fall in love from across the galaxy.
