Grace Sleep, Rocky Watch by KawaiiSpaghetti
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
13 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.
But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.
Or: Snippets of Rocky watching Grace sleep during their mission to save their stars

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

Summary
Jesus, my back.
I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.
God, I hope he can't. Please God.
It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.
"I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.
I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.
The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

Summary
"Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.
And there was a needle coming towards me.
Wait."
...Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

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
Suddenly, the shape he could barely make out as Harry stopped moving, standing rigid in the middle of the crowd. As casually as he could, Kim jogged over until he could see Harry clearly. He had the blank, zoned-out expression Kim thought of as his “winding up to say some weird nonsense” face. For a second it looked like a shadowy figure was whispering in his ear, but it disappeared as soon as Kim looked at it directly. Kim pulled off his glasses and started wiping them with his handkerchief.
“What’s going on, detective?” he muttered. Without his glasses, he could barely make out Harry’s expression even a few feet away, but he saw Harry shake his head.
“Something’s wrong,” Harry replied. “Something bad is about to happen.”

Summary
You aren't sure when you first determined you had feelings for Kim. Perhaps after the Tribunal, when you woke up to Kim's comforting presence? Maybe during the conclusion of the investigation, when you saw how handsome he looked when he smiled? Or was it when you woke up gasping in the Kineema as he forced water down your throat, having just saved you from slipping into oblivion once more?
(Harry is faced with a difficult case and an even more difficult time traversing his emotions.)
