Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

Summary
A little over thirteen years after the Hail Mary launch, Eva Stratt is released from prison to assist the world’s bickering space agencies after a junior NASA technician spots an unidentified object near the orbit of Neptune. It appears to be on a direct collision course with Earth, and is moving so quickly it does not appear to be affected by any local gravitational forces, not even that of Sol. Oh, and one more thing—it seems to be slowing down.
OR
Captain Dr. Ryland Grace pilots the Hail Mary home long before (and long, long after) its mission is supposed to be complete. In their desperate venture beyond their solar system, humanity may have just accidentally unlocked a new chapter in interstellar physics.

Summary
"Few stories were told of Nienna, not because she was not loved, but because she was loved too much. Those elves who dwelled in Valinor knew her sorrows and did not pry at them. Her part in the stories of others was glossed over, her name whispered gently, her tale left unspoken and unrecorded. Such was the respect given to her, for all people might need pity some day.
If an exile from over the sea needed to learn, or a new child asked, they were shared only snippets of thought, memories, echoes of what was told perhaps only once long ago.
These were the things that were not said."

All Elves may take the Straight Road to the West.
Orcs differ from Elves only in body. They have the same souls.

Summary
Vice-Admiral Holdo knew now-Captain Dameron had been demoted for good reason. She knew he was smarting over that, smarting over now being ground-bound and one of their few remaining pilots, and desperate for action.
Why, in Force's name, would she NOT explain the plan to him, or at least give him a hint that there WAS plan, there WAS a strategy, and his aid was NOT needed? He had charisma, he had influence and he was a heroic figure with the rank and file - if he blatantly didn't trust her, didn't respect her, people would lose faith in her, experience and chain of command aside. So she explains.
An AU running The Last Jedi's Resistance plot-arc from Holdo's conversation with Poe on.
