On Wanting To Live And Other Choices by mustangisinflames

Summary
Ch.11 excerpt:
"Through the panes of a Cupola rose the body of a planet, entirely whole and refracting through each cut panel of the glass. Twisting roiling folds of jade and lime that bent and curved as verdant fields of grass. Congregations of gold and amber flowers sprouting forth, petals splayed in a melting haze, their pollen dusting the air. Whirls and whorls of mossy tree bark reaching and stretching as far as he could see, eclipsing the entire window as though an eye through a porthole, a pinhole. Its entire circumference ringed in a halo of glorious white and a softer, muted teal, Simon - bleeding, aching, and tasting vomit - stared into the face of an incomprehensible, impossible god."
-
Still trying to save their respective planets, Grace and Rocky gain a new problem they need to solve: the body of impossible human being appearing in the Hail Mary's airlock. Things slowly get worse from there.
Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

Summary
"Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"
There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.
Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."
Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."
"Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."
"Rock, someone's on the ship."
—-—-—-—-—-—
An AU where Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture both happen in the same universe, but at different times.

Summary
"So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.
"Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.
Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.
Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."
"Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.
"Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.
Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.
***
Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

Summary
"I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."
Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.- Language:

Summary
Simon was prepared to die alone in the depths of a blood ocean for the sake of the remnants of humanity. He wasn't prepared to live a changed man - monster - in an entirely changed universe, with little memory of how he'd gotten there or who he was or what he'd done.
Who the fuck was this Ryland person, and what did he want with him?

Summary
Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.
The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.
They found another human inside the vessel.
---
Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

Summary
"The man in the airlock was too conscious.
Well, “man” might not be accurate, Ryland Grace thought as he tried to ignore the screams, his fingers shaking over the keyboards as erratically as his gaze jittering between readout screens. Big red letters announcing “DANGEROUS CONTAMINATION” flashed on half of them. He chanced another look through the tiny airlock window, where the humanoid covered in a red, blood-like substance rolled around on the floor writhing in pain. He hadn’t been writhing when they found him: he hadn’t been anything when they picked up the abnormal shape drifting in the Patrova line on their way to Erid."Ryland Grace has never been great at making friends. Now that he has a mutated, traumatized, and possibly insane man in the Hail Mary's quarantine room, he wishes he would have practiced more. Rocky wishes they'd ejected the monster out of the airlock.

What Evolution Made Us by the_adventure_writer1379

Summary
It's something of an unspoken commandment that when you hear the SOS beacon, you respond, no matter what. Grace knows this. He knows that it might jeopardize the mission, but he can't leave someone in danger. He can't.
***
Through a bunch of coincidences and the author pulling many worldbuilding strings, the Hail Mary picks up a faint distress signal and goes to investigate. When it does, what should it find but an ocean of blood on a tiny moon drifting in a starless void.

Summary
Simon had sprinted out of the lung from the first gaps of light that where made from someone cutting a new door into it.
This event did lead him to slam what he originally assumed was a 60 year old man directly into a metal wall, ignoring the blood still pouring out of the lung, and then get "restrained" and hosed down, but not the worst thing that could happen in comparison to the blood ocean.
Aka: queer platonic bloodymary hurt/comfort with lots of angst ❤️

Summary
Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

Summary
Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.
After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.Series

Summary
It’s been a few years since the Hail Mary succeeded, and now Grace and Rocky are on a mission to help the other affected stars that are being eaten by Astrophage. They’ve been traveling around the galaxy, letting taumeoba loose on the infected areas, when they run into a strange solar system. It’s got a planet with a moon that has an ocean full of… blood? And what’s even more strange is what they find on the surface. Or a more fitting description: who they find.

Summary
Sephiroth was Hojo's son. But he was also Lucrecia's. And that was why, given a chance, Vincent would try to save him. That was why, given a chance, he would go back and try to help keep him on a better path.
Because when you loved someone, and they were gone, you made sure their kids were okay. And he should have realized that the first time around.

Summary
So long as Cloud remembers me, I will always exist. Within the Lifestream or on the surface.
A sound theory. Brilliant, even. Except now, back on said surface with Cloud begrudgingly tagging along at his heels, Sephiroth isn’t so sure. Between not knowing the year, Jenova seemingly nowhere to be found, and his powers flitting in and out of control, Sephiroth is at a loss. And worse, Cloud is…strangely likeable?
AKA, the really REALLY slow-paced redemption fic no one asked for where Sephiroth and Cloud road trip across Gaia before eventually settling down to play house in Midgar.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

They demanded at first. Then begged for assistance. Those twisted, creatures from the mountain. It wasn’t until more came pouring out that the government caved and sent us to help. I still cannot properly put into words the horrors starvation inflicts upon a magical race, nor the long road they all had to travel to even begin recovering.
Especially those two. They called themselves brothers though the only thing they share is the fact that they are skeletons...and they are hungry.Bookmarked by Cyborg_Heart

Summary
Papyrus hadn't been worried! ...Well. Maybe he had been, just a bit.
It'd been a while since anyone had heard from the human, so he called to check on them. But when a conversation revealed just how young they were, he realized things had to change. They were all on their own down here. And... They had nowhere to go.
Well! If there was no one else to take care of the baby bones, Papyrus would just have to do it himself!
—
Sans was trying to get through life and ignore the apathy that had settled over him for Papyrus’s sake. It was just so hard to care about anything when he knew none of it mattered. But when Papyrus had him bring the anomaly home like a lost puppy, things stopped adding up.
How could such a sweet kid be responsible for the relentless time loops?
—
Frisk was used to being on their own, and they were pretty good at taking care of themself. But—Well. ...Dying hurt. They just wanted to get back to the surface! With Undyne in the way, they were hopeless.
So when a phone call from Papyrus somehow ended with an offer for them to crash at his house, Frisk could only be relieved for the break.
They could afford to rest for a while, right?
