    Summary

    Colt wishes he did get his happy ending. He wishes he did get that date on the beach, drinking and loving up on his Jody. He really wishes he did and that everything was perfect.

    One trip to the gas station fucks up his dreams of putting this all behind him.

     

    Or, I just wanted to give Colt PTSD.

    Summary

    Jody knew Colt has some problems with pain after everything he’s been through. It was expected, and it wasn’t going to drive her away from him. No matter how much Colt complains about his back brace not being sexy or apologizes for needing to take a minute because of the pain.

    She signed up for this from the beginning. She wasn’t leaving him for anything now. She’s latched on tight.

    Jody wonders how he ever survived without her when she finds out he should’ve been using a WHEELCHAIR THIS WHOLE TIME!!

    Summary

    It’s funny, because for all the time we’ve spent together and all the personal, intimate things I know about his life, his habits, and his responses to extreme stress or imminent death, I feel like I’m missing a lot of the basics about Rocky—like if those extra arms would make him crazy good at juggling. We’ve been too wrapped up in saving our respective planets for stuff like that.

    Now, though, there’s nothing but time. Years of it. Enough to make a guy lose his mind several times over if he’s not careful. If I’m interested in something, better make it last. Move over astrophage, there’s a new life-threatening game in town, and its name is boredom.

    Summary

    “Two dead humans each have bag with name. Third human bag not have you name. Where Grace bag, question?”

    A pit about ten miles deep forms in my stomach.

    The embroidery. He can sense the raised lettering, and now that he’s started learning to read English, he can tell that the only bag with Latin script is not my bag. Great. Yeah, this is exactly the conversation I didn’t want to have today. Or ever.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Nothing beats cuddles, if you ask me,” Grace said, trying to lighten the mood.

    Simon’s frown only deepened. “I wouldn’t really know.”

    Grace’s smile dropped. He fidgeted with his glasses, an idea already forming, but no. No, that’s a lot to ask. Too much. They’re barely friends. More like roommates of pure circumstance who mostly get along.

    But what if…?

    “Would you…” Grace started. Stopped. Tried again. “This is like, totally no pressure, and you can say no. But, uh, if you wanted to, we could, um—”

    “Spit it out, man,” Simon said, not unkindly, if a little annoyed.

    “Wouldyouwanttotrycuddlingwithme?”

    Simon blinked. “What?”

    Or... against all the odds, Simon finds himself in Ryland Grace's universe. This is how they find home.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    It’s gonna be a long trip.

    When I finally found Rocky, stranded in the middle of nowhere, I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to slowly starve to death. But when I banged on the Blip-A’s hull and suddenly heard Rocky's voice through the radio, it was the best moment of my life.

    But, you know…. I am still, actually, going to starve to death. I hate it when reality sets in.

     

    On the long trip to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover music together. But for Grace, the road gets harder and harder.

    Summary

    It's not cold like that time Ryland went camping in the Rockies. That had been fun. Finding a cold spot in your spaceship 13-light years away from home? Not fun.
    Which is especially bad because apparently he's the only one who can feel it.

    Ryland Grace wakes up in space... and he's not alone.

    All three members of the Hail Mary wake up en route to the Tau Ceti system. One of them doesn't know who he is. All the answers they need are here for them to find, deep in interstellar space. They just don't know it yet.

    Summary

    Morbid, that's what this is, and I don't want it to be.
    I'll leave this part out of any memoirs, I guess, just mention it in passing. If there is any time to write memoirs: if Rocky gets me to Erid alive, and he and his fellow alien scientists are able to engineer some way to keep me functioning, then I'll jot this all down in their language and mine for posterity's sake. I've gotten used to chronicling. If I could get this story to Earth, everybody would line up in the bookstores to get their hands on it. They might even forgive me my faults. I'd read my book, too, but mostly for Rocky. He's easy to get attached to.
    Not feeling like I'll have much time left for my memoirs today, though.

    I read Project Hail Mary last year but was thinking again about the period of time on the journey back to Erid where Ryland becomes malnourished and seriously ill and I wanted to write a couple scenes about it. Literary references included for my own enjoyment.

    Summary

    As I understand it, dreams can be based on things that have actually happened, or they can be totally new. They can also be very scary. The threat is purely mental, but the body perceives it as real. It’s a danger I cannot protect him from.

    Summary

    "Grace light-sensing organs still covered. Grace in pain, question?"

    Grace is always in pain. The painkillers help manage it. But he's at a point where increasing the dose would most likely do more damage than good, and still, the pain is there. It always is. He's pretty sure Rocky knows it, too, even if he tries not to let it show too much.

    "A little."

    "No lie, please."

    Right. The little bugger would know. Of course he would. They've spent literal years getting more and more codependent, it would be weird if he didn't.

    "Grace in pain, statement," he confirms. In an attempt to be truthful, but not worry Rocky too much, he adds, "My head mostly. Little bit of muscle pain, too." Pause. Inhale, exhale. Continue. "And the formication and burning in my hands again."

    "Ah. The small insects."

    Summary

    Jesus, my back.

    I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.

    God, I hope he can't. Please God.

    It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.

    "I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.

    I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.

    The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.
