    Summary

    When a heavy storm hits the ship, Grace and Stratt find themselves forced into close proximity and repressed feelings accidentally come to the surface.
    This changes some things, and spans over thirty years.

    (June; Ryland and Dr Lokken are flown to remote Alaska to participate in preliminary engine testing using astrophage fuel; they spend two weeks in the wilderness, evading bears and trying not to get into shouting matches in front of everyone. Rasmussen installs the improved and approved o-rings. Ryland discovers that he misses falling asleep with Eva in his bed. The first round of testing is successful; the night he returns to the ship, he and Eva fuck three times and end up talking instead of sleeping, anyway. She tells him that she missed him. He thinks that he might love her.)

    (In July they nuke Antarctica. It’s hard to top that one.)

    something borrowed,

    something blue.

    Baikonur explodes three months ahead of launch instead of three days. They get married. It changes nothing.

    Summary

    He steps into the cell, anxious and eager, expecting to spend a few hours talking to her unresponsive form as usual.

    Instead, he meets ice-pale eyes, and Stratt, looking at him and seeing him for the first time in over twenty-six years.

    The only thing Grace can think is, she's here. He's been back on Earth for months, and only now has he finally met her.

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace, destitute, just wants a job. There are certainly worse possibilities than becoming a live-in tutor.

    Eva Stratt, newly guardian of five nieces and nephews, wants a highly educated, responsible, capable governess, who will meet all of the children's needs and also who won't run away from the household (again). Someone should not be this hard to find.

    Franzi would like to draw a picture. Rosi would like to read a book. Erich would like to learn more about stars, please. Elma would like everyone to be happy. Gunther would really, really, really, thank you very much, like to have a dog.

    Summary

    He finds her name at the end of the list.

    Eva Stratt - former director of Project Hail Mary.

    She was the first thing he made NASA tell him. That she went to prison for fourteen years, that she broke out, that she was formally pardoned when the Beetles got back to Earth and revealed he was alive. That he’d done it. That she was right about everything, and most of all him.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    “When dead whales sink down to the sea floor, they become a whole”—Grace waves his hands in a big circle and draws out the word to emphasise his point—“ecosystem for a tonne of bottom dwelling creatures down there.

    “To them, it’s the equivalent of an oasis falling from the sky and landing in the middle of a desert. It can feed them for decades, and gosh, the microbes that can be found there. I would love to study a whale fall...if they weren't at the bottom of the ocean. Eugh.” He shudders dramatically. “If I never have to go in a submarine, I will die happy.”

    Eva wonders if the whale died happy. Or, at least, happy to know its death would bring life to so many. Surely that was a comfort when faced with the end.

    (or: Eva drifts along a sea of memories, in which whales swim ever underneath)

    Carl asks, “Coffee, ma’am?” and she shakes her head.

    His eyebrows arch comically high and he scoffs, “What, are you pregnant?”

    She doesn’t deny it fast enough, and Carl’s eyes go wide, a foghorn loud, “Stratt-”

    And then he asks, “It’s his, right?” Swallows and unnecessarily adds, “Grace’s?”

    Summary

    The Hail Mary lands back on Earth carrying a middle school teacher and the alien microorganism that will save the world. Thousands of miles away, Eva Stratt watches her lead scientist kiss the ground through a grainy TV screen. Deep in prison with bruises littering her skin, she thinks it's all right that she'll die here, because humanity will persevere. Her job is done, so the rest of her life doesn't matter in the grand scheme. She deserves the hell she lives in.

    Ryland Grace disagrees.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt spent launch day in a windowless room, hands clasped and head bowed in prayer to a God she stopped believing in when the sun began to die before her very eyes. She listened to the Hail Mary take off, listened to it through a broadcast on a pair of headphones that could never convey the weight of her choices. Could never communicate how much she had sacrificed to get here.

    Eva Stratt spent the day after launch on trial.

    And she spent the rest of her life atoning for her sins in the worst way possible.

    Living a good life.
