Summary
It’s like this:
In times of crisis, Beau can do the thing. Draw herself together, pulls up the right words, negotiate. And it's fine. It works. Always does, in the moment.
It's after that's the problem.

A stomach bug makes its way round the archives.
Martin reacts in typical Martin fashion - with tea, worry, and absolutely nothing else, thank you very much.

the thing about gardens by fadewords for autistic_beshelar

Summary
The thing about gardens, Caduceus thinks as he kneels in the grass before a pink flower, fingers dug in the soil around it, breaking it apart gently.
The thing, he thinks, digging deeper, reaching beyond the roots, scooping around them.
The thing is that they grow.

Summary
Abruptly, Sasha stops. Sighs. “Tim,” she says, sounding—annoyed?
Martin tenses, wonders what Tim’s done now. He’s never heard Sasha properly irritated, not really. Fond complaints are about the extent of it. This is new, concerning. (Whatever Tim’s done, Martin needs to know so he can be sure he doesn’t do it himself.)
“Yeah?”
“How do you spell disorientated?” -

Summary
On Rocky's grand tour of the Blip-A, eleven point nine light-years from home, Ryland Grace finally remembers the last piece of his Swiss cheese memory. He had never volunteered for this. He had said no. Yet they took him by force anyway. He doesn't want to ruin this perfect moment, but some memories hit too hard to hide, and Rocky has never once let him carry the heavy things alone.

Summary
Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.
Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.
aka A movie react fic where everyone sees the film in dreams.

A Cup of Good Intentions by trynagetby (narcissistic_number)

Summary
Ryland Grace is, against all odds, alive. He's living a lavish life on Erid with all the me-burgers he can eat and more probing (not like that!) scientists than he could have ever imagined. He's a teacher again, he's got beachfront property, and he's known as Savior Grace to a planet of aliens. Life is good.
Rocky is, against all odds, alive. After over half an century (always Earth units!) away from home, he's more than ecstatic to be back. His star is brightening, his mate waited for him, and all of Erid loves him. Any request he has is almost instantly fulfilled. Life is good.
So why are neither of them happy?

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
Dick is covering for Batman at a League meeting when they are called out to deal with an emergency unexpectedly. Barry contracts a contagious virus, and the League has to stay quarantined until the vaccine is finished. The only problem is, the League doesn't know that Batman doesn't work alone, or that the Batman they're working with right now isn't the Batman they know at all.
