risks of prophylactic surgery before extended-duration spaceflight by longwaytogallifrey
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
15 Jul 2026

Summary
“Hey, you’re the one who loves hearing my heartbeat.” Wait, nope, shouldn’t’ve said that. That definitely seems like too much, somehow. I feel my cheeks heating up.
Rocky’s claws fidget against the xenonite. “Yes. I do. Is good sound,” he insists, more quietly than I’d expected. “Means you still alive."
“Yeah.” I’m so alive right now that I can feel the pulse jumping in my throat. “That’s, um. That’s good.”
In the back of my mind, a very cool and rational part of myself is telling me: hey, since you’re on the subject of internal organs, why not take this opportunity to ask Rocky to feel you up so he can check on your appendix/gallbladder situation? Unfortunately, the rest of my mind just heard ask Rocky to feel you up and had the psychic equivalent of a seizure.

Bone Deep by lonelytaumoeba

13 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Sequel to the gallstone fic, but can be read stand-alone.
After much anticipation, Rocky finally gets to perform a minor surgery on Grace to practice. Grace isn't normal about the surgery, and neither of them is normal about the piece of metal that Rocky recovers from him. Or their relationship. Or anything at all.
(Still) medically accurate yearning. Orthopedic intimacy. One titanium plate with a double meaning.

Summary
"Teach me, then."
Rocky freezes at my words. I guess he wasn't expecting that. I feel a little smug, like I always do when I manage to surprise him.
"You want to know more about my egg cycle?"
"Sure," I say.
Of course I want to know about his eggs. Has he lost his mind? I want to know everything about him.

Summary
"You can literally hear inside me when you focus, bud. Has observing the action of my gallbladder in HD made you think less of me as a person, or humanity as a whole?"
[Yes,] Rocky says without hesitation, which makes Grace choke on a laugh. He amends, […at first. Then I get used to. Kind of cute now. Humans need infinity liquids to do basic process, always new mucus…]
"I bet I'm gonna find your ultra-high-temp organs super cute too," Grace offers with an irrepressible grin, "and actually, okay, this strikes me as a morale problem. You're getting too down on yourself. I promise you there is nothing I could find rearranging your—" Nope. "—digging around in there that would shame the entire Eridian race."
[No way for you to know this,] Rocky says flatly.
"There definitely is, because I'm gonna shame the entire human race first."
This is how they spend the next three days on the glove box addition while Mary reads to them from the unreleased 2021 NEISS report, filtered by incidents requiring extraction of foreign objects from the 'lower trunk' or 'pubic region'.
(or, Rocky eats something inedible. Grace helps. They both get Really Weird About It.)

Summary
It was an accident the first time.
(One could argue that it wasn't even an accident the first time. Grace could argue this, and he would argue this, probably questioning, how does someone masturbate accidentally??? To which Rocky would then point to Portable Earth Thinking Machine and bring up the many definitions of the very word accident—one being "lack of intention or necessity," which is what Rocky means in this particular case.)
…admittedly, it doesn't quite work. Rocky didn't start pleasuring himself accidentally after all—that was very intentional, as much as he'd hate to admit it, but he'd rather jump out of Mary's airlock than explain that to Grace.
So no, not quite an accident. Not exactly the word that fits this peculiar situation he's gotten himself into.
Rocky just didn't intend for it to go this far.

Guilt is not a weakness (it’s a reminder of our capacity to care) by life-is-reason (Tinysmolfluff) for tenfescue

Summary
“How am I supposed to calm down and stop panicking when I nearly took Adrian’s mate away from him, when I nearly took an innocent life, who risked his own to save mine even though I was not worth saving, I was a coward, I was willing to give up the lives of billions of people to keep my own peace and not leave my comfort zone. I’m pathetic and I’m a loser and I almost killed Rocky, oh, God.”
OR
Grace still feels guilty for nearly fucking up and killing Rocky. Those thoughts make him end up exactly as you think they would.

Summary
Somewhere between Adrian and Erid, Rocky invents the xenosuit to help Grace. It turns out they both needed it.
"The thing about sharing a spaceship with a guy in a hamster ball is you end up doing the grunt work. So here we are, en route to an alien planet, and I am once again hanging off the side of the dang ship. At least this time I’m securely fastened and not watching us sink toward our doom."

Summary
“Genital organ swelling…is because of sleep hallucination, question?” Rocky says, sounding baffled.
“Pretty much. Human bodies are weird.”
“Weird weird weird,” Rocky mutters, rolling back out of my arms. “Glad Grace okay.”
I nod, not feeling okay in the slightest. “Totally okay. I mean, how could I not be? I’ve got a spaceship, all the Taumoeba I can eat, and you. What else could I need?”
Last night's dream isn’t fading like my dreams usually do after I wake up. I’m not sure I even want it to. I can’t stop hearing the sounds my brain imagined Rocky would make as I sank my fingers knuckle-deep inside of him, as he praised me for making him feel so good–

Summary
“Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.
I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.
or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

Summary
“I suppose what it comes down to is when you sleep, you trust me so much that I could do anything to you. And you’d let me.”
His claw tugs. Grace moans. Every heart in Rocky sings.
“Good,” Rocky says. “You’ll sleep now.”
//
sleeping with someone while they're actively sleeping is not a thing for Rocky, until Grace.

Summary
"There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."
Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

Summary
Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.
Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.
Grace, though…
Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

Summary
Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.
Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.
“Grace. What are you doing?”
Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.
“‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

Summary
Rocky has called Grace stupid hundreds of times, but now that they're no longer in crisis mode, Rocky's beginning to suspect that stupid isn't the right word.
Or: words have connotations, and Grace needs to be a teacher outside of his usual subject.
