Five Times Ryland Grace Surprised Someone and One Time He Surprised Himself by Katrina
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026)
21 May 2026
Tags
Summary
People have a image of Dr. Ryland Grace. A bit of an oddball, hard working, loves a punny shirt, and is still very much a teacher for all that he's head scientist. Sometimes, however, he does something that is outside expectations. Even the ones he has of himself.

Summary
Matt stood in front of the building, hand wrapped tight around the handle of his cane, listening hard to the city in the hope that there would be something to draw him away from this place. Anything to give him a reason not to go in.
Or: in which Matt's friends decide that going to an anger management group would be a good idea, and he makes a new friend with a few issues of his own.

Summary
Matt hears a lot in the city at night, sirens and crime--and the late-night radio show Foggy With a Chance, which sometimes runs a Daredevil Watch if he's been particularly active, but which mostly plays music. He probably shouldn't call in and request a song, but he does it anyway.

"You were the correct choice," Stratt said to the stars, and her jaw tightened, a brief, almost imperceptible shift, before she drew in another breath, "the only choice."
The words were not cathartic. They did not change anything.

culture shock by sly_as_an_alpaca
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
21 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

I'm Ryland Grace - AMA by sly_as_an_alpaca
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
28 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

The Greatest Act of Optimism by Acewithapaintbrush
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
30 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

where are you driving, midnight cruiser by morimoth

Summary
There are fingers prying open the buttons on Daniel’s shirt, his jeans. Louis, laying him bare, staring him down with a knowing smile and chilly jadeite eyes. “I think you want to be good for me,” Louis murmurs. “I think you like to be told how smart you are. How good.”
A mortifying flush starts to creep up Daniel’s throat. The only disadvantage of eating well. He braces his composure again. “Our other halves leave for ten minutes and you’re already assessing me for psychosexual dismantlement? Again?”
Louis grins at him, so very sharp. God, that smile. “They’ll like the view when they get back. And you’re fun to play with.” Slim hands tracing Daniel’s collarbones now, parting the silver thatch of hair on his chest. “So. You tell me, clever boy. What’re you going to do to make me happy I spent my night with you and not that article?”

Summary
There was a new one.
Grace felt him before she saw him—sensed his eager, flickering energy as he stepped onto her grounds. He was more excited about being there than anyone had a right to be. But he was nervous too, and that was more justified. She felt his energy curdle when her—when Jefferson cornered him. He wasn't happy to see this new face here, either.
And wasn't that interesting.
Jud makes an unlikely friend.

Summary
[Vera] goes to Mass on every holy day, and many other days. She works to do good in the world, and to continue her father’s legacy. She cooks for Cyrus and cleans up after him and drives him to school and to friends’ houses and makes herself love him unconditionally. If she never finds joy in her duties, then she must be mistaken about how true joy feels.
She gives up alcohol, except for rare social occasions and the Eucharist. She gives up being with women. She gives up her atheist friends when they question her devotion. She gives up cigarettes slowly, painfully, stopping and starting until one day she realises she hasn’t thought about buying a pack with her groceries in weeks.
All things considered, it’s easy to relinquish things. Letting go is easier than holding on. She just closes her eyes and remembers the tranquility she felt that night after her confession. Even if she can’t reach that tranquility, imagining it is something.
-
Vera Draven over the years, in all she gives up to look after Cyrus and honour her father, and how she takes it back.
