    Summary

    Tim hates this—not knowing what’s wrong with him, feeling like he isn’t fully in control, like he’s a liability. It’s a relief to get back in the Batmobile at the end of the night, even with Bruce watching him like he’s trying to visually dissect the problem. At least if it turns out he’s been exposed to some new drug or toxin somehow, Batman is already on the case.

    Summary

    “Grace have soulmate, question?” Rocky asked.

    “Uh. No.” Grace shifted against the barrier, fluffing a pillow to support his back.

    “Why, question?”

    Summary

    Eva Stratt stares at the short transmission. It’s in unremarkable Mary-standard ACSII format, just like the rest of the status updates had been. This one read, on the early-morning, sun-streaked pixels of her MacBook:

    HAILMARY/INC/STATUS-25/07/2023-CREW

    STATUS
    YAO - DECEASED; Vitals - NONE, EEG READ: BRAIN DEATH
    ILYUKHINA - DECEASED; Vitals - NONE, EEG READ: BRAIN DEATH
    GRACE - ALIVE; Vitals - WNL (WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS).

    -

    Ten months after launch, Project Hail Mary recieves a status transmission informing them that Yao and Ilyukhina have died in their comas. Eva Stratt isn't ready to talk to medical lead Chananyapak Yimlamai about what that means.

    Summary

    From the impossibility of finding a submarine drifting through space on the Hail Mary's trajectory to Erid, to the nuances of assisting humanoid aliens in adapting to Erid and the hijinks that ensue, to a long forming mission to finally make the connection between planets lightyears away- how remarkable, is it, the things that can be achieved in spite of the odds, the things done out of love instead of fear?

    PART 1: The Hail Mary's interception of the SM-13.

    PART 2: The community formed around Adrian in their time of grief, and the community that keeps in the changes to follow Rocky's return to Erid.

    PART 3: The Xenia mission's conception and her astronauts, through thick and thin.

    Summary

    Pliny the Elder was right. Swansong sounds like shit.

    A mere eight years after the launch of the Hail Mary, the probes return. It raises many questions, the how, the why so soon, but many answers: the most important being the answer to the astrophage problem. With that being tended to, the Earth must now also contend with the reality that it exists in the same galaxy as another hyperintelligent alien species- one that seemed capable enough of compassion to help one of Earth’s own.

    Five astronauts will be selected as ambassadors to Erid for the Xenia mission.
    Reyes Vargas knows he's gone far already, but he didn't realize just how much further he can go.
    Tilly Lawrence simply doesn’t have anything worth sticking around for on Earth.
    Zuura Aydarov has lost everything to one war, and she would lose it all again to prevent another.
    De Cho has always been willing to pay the cost as a high achiever, and what’s higher than the stars?
    Marwan Paz-Gil is just glad he finally convinced NASA that powdered Red Bull is, in fact, entirely vital to mission success.

    Summary

    What would being Eridian be like?

    Not being able to see, no eyes, no mouth, no face. Living for hundreds of years longer than any human. Walking freely around the alien planet you've been living on. Speaking with other Eridians properly. Teaching your students more effectively. Being able to touch other living things…

    Grace's breath hitches at that thought.

    or

    Grace gets to be an Eridian so he can hug Rocky properly (and not die!)

    (fic name comes from the Phoebe Bridgers song "I know the end" -a really great song highly recommended <3 )

    Summary

    Ryland Grace hoped to only live through one apocalypse and then retire quietly back to being a teacher, albeit this time to a class full of aliens that are technically his age. His happy ending is unfortunately interrupted by the arrival of a new moon orbiting Erid. Which shouldn't be possible. Thus begins a cascade of several things that should be impossible and sets him once again on a journey to the edge of the scientific world. This time, he might fall right off the map.

    Summary

    "Bring back an alien for me, okay?" Adrian choked through their cries.

    Rocky tried to laugh. "Of course. Anything for my Adrian."

    -

    Adrian should have been more careful with their words. They knew Rocky had trouble with tones! Did he really spend half an Earth century in space trying to fulfill an impossible ask?

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...
