Tripod Grace by GracefulLeopard, PolynomialPandemic
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types
04 Jun 2026

Summary
Grace pushes himself back from the micro-scope, a movement he has done many many times before without any problems. This time, though, his clumsiness makes him fall back.
Generally, Grace is okay at catching himself. Most of the time he tries to pretend he didn’t trip, or simply yells “I’m fine!” after he straightens up.
Grace doesn’t catch himself. He falls, and his body hits the ground, and Rocky hears horrible, terrible snaps.
Grace’s body is not supposed to make those noises. They are breaking noises.
OR:
On the way to Erid, Grace takes a tumble and breaks something. Rocky has a bad time.

Summary
"I had a dog as a kid," Grace had told them once. "Her name was Maisy. Big yellow labrador. We got her when I was around five—" (Rocky had never quite gotten used to human aging) "—and I loved her to bits. She was my best friend all through middle and high school.")
Years ago, Ryland Grace lost a best friend. Years later, Rocky will too.

Summary
Popular tales in Eridian folklore include a long, lanky creature that cracks the carapaces of those who enter the ocean.
So when Erid’s saviour returns in a small, foreign spaceship, missing 23 crewmates, and presenting a creature with an uncanny resemblance to their cautionary tales, Erid is, understandably, horrified.Yet at some point, somehow, the creature had found its way into the hearts of Eridians, and the grotesque alien from the unknown of space became a beloved teacher of their most vulnerable.
Or: Erid learns to love Grace.

Summary
“Where is Teacher Grace’s family crest?” Quinn asks, jumping up and down like a bouncy ball, almost bowling Roo over who shrieks in outrage. Too much energy, that one.
“Uh.” Before I can explain that humans don’t really have anything like that (at least nothing that gets carved into their skin) Sam taps against the barrier.
“Right there, stupid. On Teacher Grace’s arm-limb.”
I look down to see what they are pointing at.
It’s Rocky’s clawprint. The one he left behind when he pulled me to safety after the Adrian fiasco.
*********************
The pebbles are too invested in their teacher’s personal life and Grace finally realizes that he’s part of a family. He has a lot of feelings about that.
