    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

    The Sokovia Accords were supposed to leash the Avengers. Instead, they gave Eva Stratt a shopping list for the end of the world.

    Fresh off the bleeding edge of Siberia, a broken Tony Stark discovers the sun is dying—and that Stratt has weaponized his stolen genetic records in an attempt to draft him for a four-year, one-way suicide mission into the dark. At the Compound alongside Dr. Ryland Grace, a rumpled junior high science teacher who just figured out how the solar parasite breeds, Tony is forced into a chaotic partnership over volatile space sludge.

    To Stratt, sacrificing three lives to save seven billion is basic math. To Tony Stark, a one-way ticket isn't a tragic necessity—it’s just a design flaw. It’s time to break the rules, rewrite the physics, and make damn sure the universe's most expensive floating coffin gets a steering wheel.

    And he, and Doctor Ryland Grace, would not be taking it.

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

    La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    The last leg of their journey to Erid is filled with despair; Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky' own trauma flares up drastically. Prolonged space travel with only an alien for company changes a person, maybe even beyond recognition. The one returning home might not be the one you knew before it all began. How do you bring someone home who got lost among the stars?

    Stories about love, desperation, codependency, trauma and hope. About people you'd die for. And people you'd live for. And most of all, about people you love to the point of invention.
