    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 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

    There are only two little issues to ensuring my livelihood.

    Vitamins and food. Fine, not so little. Big big big issues. Vitamins are going to be a major struggle. Humans are built to get most of their vitamins from food, of which I’ve already run out, aside from a few half-rations saved for really hard days. I’ve already separated a large sample of coma slurry to give over when we get to Erid. Hopefully, having samples of all my vitamins will help them figure out what to synthesize rather than just going from scratch.

    Food is going to be even trickier.

    But I have a plan. A foolhardy one, likely, but a plan nonetheless. I am going to start a farm. Yeah, that’s right. Have I literally ever lived in a house with its own yard my entire life? No. Have I ever grown anything bigger than the lima beans in wet paper towels as a class experiment? No! Do I have any of the things I need to even start a farm, most importantly, the seeds? No!

    Well, maybe. Okay, here’s the rundown.

    or Grace has lofty dreams to start a farm on Erid. We'll see how it goes.

    Summary

    Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

    “I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”

    “Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”

    “Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

    “♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

    “What?”

    Summary

    "Hey...can I ask you something kind of weird?"

    "Shoot," Rocky says, his voice sounding amused. "But not actually shoot."

    Grace wants to laugh at the joke (he's been getting better at joking and sarcasm) but instead he swallows, his fingers tracing idle patterns on the blanket. The ache from earlier at the classroom, the beach, the constant invisible wall feels closer tonight.

    "What does it feel like... to touch you?" he asks. "I mean, if we could. Your carapace. Your claws. What would it feel like to me?"

    Rocky is quiet for a long beat. When he sings again, his melody is thoughtful and gentle.

    "Hard. Rocky, like name. Like...strong stone that is alive. My claws are sharp but careful. My body pulses a little when I am happy. Like singing Grace can feel instead of hear." He pauses, then adds with a soft, almost shy trill, "What does human skin feel like, question? To me, I wonder."

    He imagines it.

    In his mind, the xenonite shell vanishes.

    Or: Grace is touch starved and Rocky wants to make it better

    Summary

    “So. To summarize. I’m stranded on Mars, entirely alone. I have absolutely no way to communicate with my crew or with earth, since our communications antennae turned me into a human shish-kabob. If the oxygenator becomes compromised, I’ll suffocate. If the water reclaimer stops working, I’ll dehydrate. Breach in the Hab means I’ll go poof. And if, for some god-forsaken reason none of those things kill me first, I’m gonna run out of food and starve to death. Oh, and we can’t forget that everyone I know thinks I’m dead. So… yup. Totally fucked.”

    On Sol 6, an unexpected windstorm cuts the Ares III Mission short and six astronauts retreat back to Earth.

    On Sol 7, the astronaut they left behind wakes up gasping for air.

    Summary

    One year later, Clark is at the start of his prime, both as Superman and as a man—balanced, confident, loved. Then enters Koriand’r, a powerful teen warrior alien with a traumatic past, crashing into the Kent farm and turning his peaceful week with Ma and Pa into the start of a cosmic-level bond.

    Summary

    Pa's brow furrows, and he moves his hand to Clark's shoulder. "Clark, it’s been a minute. What did you come here for, son?"

    Clark squeezes his eyes shut. "Lex Luthor cloned me," he says. "His name is Ultraman. When I couldn't save myself, I saved him. And- and he's like me, but he's broken. And scared, and confused. I think he could use your help."

    --

    Clark sacrifices himself to save Ultraman, and he comes back different; a ghost who only Ultraman can see. It turns their worlds upside-down.

    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to matter. He was just another new reporter. Quiet, competent, weirdly polite.
    Lois Lane clocked him in five seconds and dismissed him in ten.

    Until she didn’t.

    Because Clark Kent always seems to know when she’s about to spiral. He remembers her coffee, her schedule, the fact that she forgets to eat lunch. He’s clumsy and soft-spoken and too damn sincere.

    And when he’s not there, she notices.
    And when someone else makes him laugh, she notices that too.

    Lois isn’t sure what to do with that.
    But it’s becoming harder to ignore.

    Summary

    As she approached the actually rather unremarkable looking young man, she felt a swell of doubt. Was he really who she’d thought he was? Spider-Man had been a giant of a man, someone she could easily imagine at the front of her train, gripping hundreds of webs with power enough to crush the train car into the shape of his body.

    This boy looked barely able to carry his overstuffed backpack. With his Oxford shirt and jeans and neatly combed hair, he could have been the poster child for a 1950s science scholarship. Not someone you imagined facing down an eight-armed psychopath on a speeding train.

    Half convinced she’d imagined the whole thing, Maggie crossed the diner and stepped up to his table. After a moment he noticed her, lifting his attention from an open book full of equations and cracker crumbs to look right at her.

    All doubt vanished when Maggie looked into his blue eyes and round face. It was him. No question. It was Spider-Man, right here at her table, waiting to order breakfast from her.

    "He was baffled to say the least. If someone else was using the same locker that had been assigned to Eddie, surely he would have noticed that by now. The belongings in the locker were entirely his own, nothing extra that was unexplainable, nothing except for this note, anyway. He marched right up to Bobby’s office, hoping the captain could help him piece together exactly what was going on here."

    Or, Buck and Eddie share a locker... but like, in a supernatural way. (inspired by the 2006 Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves film The Lake House)

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was intimately familiar with death. It hung in the air around him, lived under his skin.
    It was the reason he'd been born in the first place.
    Maybe it had seemed like some awful cosmic joke to his parents when they'd found out the source of his magic. It could have been anything.
    It just had to be death.

    Eddie Diaz doesn't know how to be a werewolf.
    Which is unfortunate, given he's been one all his life. He brought his son to LA to get away from it all, but he couldn't run from what he was.

    Or:
    Death Mage Buck and Werewolf Eddie find one another at the 118.

    Summary

    (I am Peter Benjamin Parker, and I exist.)

    - - -

    Three months after his existence was erased, Peter Parker was not doing so well. His solace came from knowing that at the very least he had managed to save his city in the end.

    Apparently, though, Peter realized as Doctor Strange explained to him that he had to give up even more, losing everything-and-then-some just wasn't enough.

    OR

    The multiverse continues to collapse in on itself. Doctor Strange discovers the source of the problem as Peter Parker. The only viable solution is to remove Peter from his original universe so that no more entities will be drawn to his presence there.

    Peter is sent to a world that lost its Peter Parker, and finds himself lost in a sea of people he'd grieved who had all grieved him in kind.

    Summary

    It's been 5 years since Pitch's defeat and things haven't gotten better for Jack. His relationship with the Guardians is strained, he's not allowed to spend much time with his believers and he's tired of trying to please everyone when they never care.
    So he accepts an offer to start life anew in another world.

    Now as Jackson Overland Frost, he was ready to live out his second human life happily in a cave with dragons for company, surviving off of grass and blueberries. Maybe meeting some humans along the way.
    That is until he gets kidnapped.

     

    Or: Jack making friends, falling in love, and getting adopted by both humans and dragons. Repeatedly. (I'm serious it happens way too often)
    I like having multiple relationships/dynamics going on between different characters, so people who want only hijack romance might not like this one. My found family will be gigantic and NO ONE can stop me.

    SLOW UPDATES bc I juggle too many hobbies at once
