Summary
"Psh! No way, Pretty Boy! You'll smear your perfume in me." Wind giggled as he ducked Warriors's weak attempt to hug him.
Brothers were fun. Wind wasn’t even sorry that these guys were growing on him. Like mold. He wondered what his family would think of them.
"It'll be an improvement!" Warriors insisted.

Summary
Warriors learned most of his hero skills in battle. How to lead, how to comfort, how to defend, and how to distract. How to be a good leader and a better comrade. He learned as fast as he could for his country, and for his Queen, and for the child heroes that were summoned to help him when he was not enough on his own.
Those skills failed Wild, but he will still learn. He refuses to fail this new hero, Linkle. He will be open and willing to listen when asked for help even when help cannot be asked through pride or uncertainty.
Faced with grim news from home, Warriors was starting to recognize how out of practice he was when it came to asking for help for himself.

Summary
Ganondorf wasn’t wrong; the gods were the ones to flood Hyrule, not him. Link could recognize, as powerful and terrifying as the man was, that none of the girls he kidnapped had actually been hurt. Even he and Tetra, who actively got in his way, were barely given more than a bruise in the man’s rage while they fought.
So, in that single last chance Link had to finish their fight for good, the decision was simple.
He spared him.

Summary
She’s an ancestor, Blue declared.
Vio could tell, She’s definitely a descendant!
I’m pretty sure she’s another timeline version, Red hummed.
Maybe she’s not even a Hero of Courage, Green wondered. Perhaps she’s of Wisdom.Four was determined to do better with Linkle than he did with Wild. He was certain they all were, doing their best to be politely curious and cautiously aware of what habits she was showing them. They were going to be a team this time; if some painful self realizations were necessary, so be it.

Summary
The journey from strangers to teammates to friends to family is hard when opening yourself up means risking the pain of unintentional mistakes. Heartfelt apologies may go a long way to mend those hurts, but being mended doesn’t always mean repaired.
A single loose end could undo everything all over again.

Summary
or "Statistical Fallacy (N=1)
or "Mimicking you Mimicking Me"
or "oopsie doopsie absolutely nobody here is a trained diplomat lol"or the Erid homecoming keeps having more issues arise. Human and Eridian relations are off to a, pardon the pun, rocky start. And Grace doesn't know why, but he is a little paranoid that Rocky somehow did it on purpose.
Hopefully Earth gets his updated information on communicating with Eridians before they decide to send someone else. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty embarrassing for everyone.

Summary
'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'
I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.
'No,' he states.
'No?'
'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'
I lean back and fold my arms.
'Rock…'
'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'
Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

Summary
A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)
Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.[This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

Ave Maria by nopaintjustpain
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Tim Drake didn't quite know what he was agreeing to four years ago, but he tried to make the best of it! Using notes from his past (future?) self, he (somewhat messily) tried to help everyone his other self cared for. Now, it's four years later and he can mostly ignore the second set of memories lying in the back of his brain. It'd be much easier if Dick Grayson would just leave him alone. If Tim believed in destiny he might actually think that the universe cared about what was lost.
Dick Grayson has spent the last year feeling like he's veered off course. Something keeps itching at the back of his brain. He's missed some clue. Helena Bertinelli's promised to help him crack down on human trafficking, but Dick thinks her foster kid might actually be more help in that department.
