    Summary

    “In a kinder universe, there would only be one apocalyptic crisis going on at a time. Unfortunately that was not this universe."

    Not only is the sun dying, but a vampire plague is sweeping the earth in tandem.

    Eva Stratt was chosen to lead the Petrova Task Force, to effectively lead the charge to save the world. The job requires her to be unflinchingly ruthless and selfless in turns. The ends justify the means, as long as the end result leaves the earth saved.

    Then the Worst Case Scenario happens. She’s turned.

    The Vampire Eva Stratt is different from the Human she once was. You see, Vampires by their very nature are Selfish Creatures. They have to be in order to function and survive.

    What does selfish (and bloodthirsty) look like on the most powerful woman in the world?

    (TLDR: Highly self indulgent Vampire AU. Vampire Stratt! Her & Graces weird secret third thing getting SO MUCH MORE STRANGE.)

    (Edited as of June 28th 2026. Mostly I just fixed the tense situation, so now everything is uniformly in past tense, and made sure it flowed better. Also I messed around with the chapter titles a bit.)

    Summary

    “The only person who unites people more than a hero is a villain. And the easiest way to become a villain isn’t being wrong, it’s being right too early.”

    As certain as Eva Stratt was that she would go to prison, she was even more certain that access to food would be the downfall of international cooperation — the new divide between rich and poor, powerful and powerless.

    But even when her authority over Project Hail Mary ends, her devotion to humanity never does. And as willing as Stratt was to be the world’s scapegoat for what she did to Grace or Antarctica, she never imagined her downfall would come at the hands of the only force more destructive than astrophage: the billionaires.

    Years later, when the beetles return, the world still wants nothing to do with her. But maybe they do still need her.

    Summary

    “Tell me one thing. Let me carry it for you. Just for a while.”

    Summary

Just to see if she can make it happen, one of the things on her list is "make out with the pseudo-dictator of the world." But what happens when she stops seeing Eva Stratt as just a kiss to check off her list and instead develops a crush on her for real?

    Summary

    She is at a memorial. A memorial, only days after her father’s death - but of course, this service isn’t for him.

    They don’t hold memorials complete with heartfelt eulogies and teary mourners for serial killers, especially not those who were shot in cold blood by their own daughters. This, Veronica Sterling knows for certain.

    The Cult. Seven Masters, the Pythia, and Nine. Now the Masters are dead or in custody, the Cult is no more, the remains of the Pythia lie in a medical examiner’s office, and Nine is a traumatised child who is also Veronica’s half-sister. And somehow, all of this means that Veronica is alone. Again.

    (A coda to Bad Blood).

    Summary

    Inevitably, Stratt reaches her breaking point.

    The red nail polish she applies for the gala matches the blood that appears when she scratches too deep, and she growls in frustration when her eyes don't focus on the buttons through the tears, when her hands don't want to stop shaking and thread open the blouse. The white fabric is freckled with little dots of blood, but shows no signs of yielding to her struggle.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    Eva Stratt stares at the short transmission. It’s in unremarkable Mary-standard ACSII format, just like the rest of the status updates had been. This one read, on the early-morning, sun-streaked pixels of her MacBook:

    HAILMARY/INC/STATUS-25/07/2023-CREW

    STATUS
    YAO - DECEASED; Vitals - NONE, EEG READ: BRAIN DEATH
    ILYUKHINA - DECEASED; Vitals - NONE, EEG READ: BRAIN DEATH
    GRACE - ALIVE; Vitals - WNL (WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS).

    -

    Ten months after launch, Project Hail Mary recieves a status transmission informing them that Yao and Ilyukhina have died in their comas. Eva Stratt isn't ready to talk to medical lead Chananyapak Yimlamai about what that means.
