    Summary

    “If you could bottle up a star, which one would you choose?” Grace suddenly blurted out. 

    He grimaced. Thankfully for him, Simon was as awkward as him when it came to talking, and the only thing he got was a raised eyebrow.

    “That’s a stupid question."

    “Indulge me on that one, please."

    “I don’t know…" Simon shrugged, "As long as it's a star, I'd get it before it disappeared. I have no preferences." 

    Or: Simon misses the stars, the one from his own universe. Even if they're here, on the Hail Mary, it doesn't feel the same somehow. They look too far away to fully grasp in his hands. Hearing this, Grace tries to gift him something in an attempt to cheer him up.

    Summary

    It was perfectly smooth, almost polished, a dark red-bronze color that reminded me of old pennies. No markings, no lights, no handholds. Just... a sealed tube. "Reading a steady 363 degrees Kelvin on the surface, but there's a hot spot at one end - around 423. Something's active in there. Maybe the propulsion system? Except there's no propulsion system..."

    "Life support," Rocky trilled, his voice dipping into what I recognized as his 'thinking' range. "Eridian 🎶 no doors. Too dangerous. Maybe same. Pressure inside is very high. Door not open until pressure outside matches."

    That made a disturbing amount of sense. "So this thing is designed to open in a high-pressure environment. Like deep underwater? But it was in space. That's the opposite of high pressure."

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace finally adjusts into his new life on Erid, a very scared, very upset man is just the thing he needs to disrupt it.

    or

    When Simon is pulled out of the remains of the Iron Lung-- still very much alive and very much disoriented, he must grapple with the fact that everything he once knew to be true is a lie, and that the visions from a deity he doesn't know the name of become rampant. His eternal punishment rests in the form of a very clumsy, very obnoxious blonde man who can't seem to understand he's living in a fishbowl.

    or

    A BloodyMary fanfiction where I attempt to unveil the complicated lore of both Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung. This is the very first fanfiction I've ever posted on A03 and it's the first bit of writing I've made public in over 8 years, so apologies if it takes me a moment to regain my footing!

    Summary

    “Pilot Detected,” Mary says.

    “Thank you, Mary,” he responds automatically.

    Exciting news: they’re almost at Erid! Hours away, actually! He’s vibrating with excitement, as much as you can with your ribs sticking out through your skin. But screw that noise! The journey is almost over! Beginning of an end, end of a beginning, baby! His entire journey has culminated into this one event: making contact with an alien species. Whether that was through astrophage, taumeoba, or Eridians. Not even being sick and hungry could ruin this. He doesn’t know if the nausea is from the nerves or not.

    Or: after saving two stars and returning to Erid, Grace and Rocky must face their most daunting challenge yet: having uncomfortable conversations.
