culture shock by sly_as_an_alpaca
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
21 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

Summary
“Grace, question?”
I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.
“Yes Rocky?”
“Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”
“Ah.”

rocky escape closet by nambi
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
14 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Rocky emerges, and his body language alone is enough to get me going. I struggle around my laugh, clamping my hand over my mouth. He waits patiently for me to gather myself.
“Eridians are gay,” he declares. “I escape closet for all of them.”
I fail. I tuck my glasses into the collar of my shirt so I can put my head in my hands, wiping tears as they come.
“Rocky,” I say between giggles, “Rocky, I don’t think—I don’t think you can apply human sexuality to Eridians.”
Something in him shifts, then. He perks to attention from his relaxed state, and though he has no eyes or facial features, I swear I can feel his gaze narrow on me.
“I also read about gay rights,” he says slowly, warily. “Read that gay humans are hated some places. Bad.” He comes closer, looking up at me with all the accusation his flat face can muster. “You hate gay, question?”
/////
Or: Rocky learns about another human custom, and as always, he makes it Grace's problem.

[“No! What’ll be next” Grace joked “A sex doll I can treat as a friend?”
Grace paled as the words left his mouth, oh dear god, what had he done.
Calico gasped “Amaze!”
She turned to a nervous intern sat next to her
“Write that down! Write that down! Oh, just think of the profits, we could sell copies at the gift shop!”]
Grace apprehensively evaluated the large, xenonite chest that had just been delivered to the front door of his beach house. He had a horrible inkling about where this was headed.
Or: Grace befriends a sex doll. Rocky is totally not jealous.

that moment when your mate brings back an alien by alienbisch
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
29 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Adrian had been conflicted about the leaky space blob his mate had brought back from his mission to the stars.
On one claw it helped his mate to save the stars.
On the other claw, it was mostly comatose since the two saviors of the universe had come back. It didn’t seem to be useful at all.
On the other other claw, if what his mate said was true (and his mate would never lie to Adrian), it was the only reason why his mate was even with him right now.
On the other other other claw, with its health being as bad as it was, Adrian almost never saw his mate nowadays.
Or Adrian really isn't impressed by one Ryland Grace at first. Will Grace be able to rizz up not one but two erdian baddies?

Humans could “swim,” as Grace put it. This was not possible for Eridans. The thought of it was crazy. Eridans could not “float.” The fact that Grace could was…well it was kind of amazing. Adrian has spent a lot of time studying biology. When Rocky was gone for so long, they dug themselves into their studies and work.

Rocky made a noise of distress that Grace could only translate as 'what the actual fuck?!'.
He probably should've known that he wouldn't be able to bring up the concept of organ trafficking without Rocky freaking out over it.
Or
Grace makes the mistake of telling Rocky about organ transplants and immediately has to deal with the consequences of that mistake.
