Summary
A lot can happen in three hours, Ilyukhina reasons. Especially when the alternative is the extinction of all life on the planet. Maybe Grace sat with himself for a few hours, looked at a picture of his students, had a "come to Jesus" moment as the Americans like to say. Maybe he sat down across from Stratt and said with steady hands "you're right, someone has to do it. And it has to be me."
Maybe.
--
Sometime before they slip into their induced comas, Ilyukhina and Yáo consider their unconscious crewmate.Bookmarked by Calipepla

False Friends by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
07 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an Area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
OR: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

[Podfic] Returned in Kind by IvyLee by AxeMeAboutAxinomancy
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
12 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
Podfic. Rocky took ‘Grace’ – a word in a language he can’t speak, with a meaning that doesn’t directly translate – and gave his human friend a name, one with weight and significance, which conveyed exactly who Grace was to the people of Erid. Then, to keep things professional, he did it a second time.
Grace isn’t even mad about it any more. He just wishes he hadn’t waited so long to return the favour.

Symptom of Life by scette
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
17 Jul 2026

Summary
Abstract
The current assumption that all life in our universe exists within a habitable (or ‘Goldilocks’) zone betrays the limited perspective of prior researchers and will needlessly stifle future exploration and discovery in astrobiology. This thesis argues in favor of redefining ‘life’ and challenges the accepted notion that life requires water.The world demands Ryland Grace provide evidence of absence; in his dissertation, he invites it to do the same.
Or: five times Ryland Grace fails to prove he’s alive, and one time he succeeds.

Summary
“Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”
“This upsets you.” Rocky observes.

Summary
“I'm trying to remember who was in there.” Grace sounds distracted again, thoughts miles away. “I’m trying to remember the experiments that were scheduled. I think… I think…” He sobs and slaps a hand over his mouth as if the noise has snuck up on him. “I think Shapiro and Dubois… I think they wanted to… but I can’t remember if that was today. I can’t remember, Carl!”
A shiver runs down Carl’s spine and it feels like the ground is falling out from under him. His vision is swimming with black spots for a second but he blinks them back by sheer force of will.
This can’t be happening. He refuses to believe that this is happening. Because if Shapiro and Dubois were in that building that means…
******************
Some might argue that Carl knew from the moment they all gathered in that conference room what would be asked of Dr. Grace and that it wasn’t really a choice at all.
I think he knew much, much longer than that.

the stretch of my skin by nambi

Summary
I never noticed. There are no mirrors in my house; there are no mirrors anywhere on Erid, at least not in the sense that we understand them. There’s reflective surfaces, but not intentionally so. My attention has been tugged this way and that, always something new to discover, or else something new to research in the endless encyclopedia I was left with. I had no reason to look at my own body beyond what was necessary to keep it clean.
But now I’m sitting here, and it stares me in the face. Emphasized by my position, my stomach rises up and over my waistband, forming a soft mass that spills slightly over my sides.
“Oh,” I say out loud. I run a hand over this new pudge that probably isn’t new at all, startling slightly at the texture of it. Soft. Yielding. Slightly cold from the water evaporating on it. I touch my body like it isn’t my own, because for a long, long time, it wasn’t. I touch it the way Rocky touched me once he finally had the option to, committing everything to memory, matching it to what he already knew.
/////
Or: In the two years that he spent on Erid, Grace has changed in just about every way imaginable. But one way in particular feels more significant than the rest.

Anatomy of a Whale Fall by Pokimoko
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
02 May 2026
Tags
Summary
“When dead whales sink down to the sea floor, they become a whole”—Grace waves his hands in a big circle and draws out the word to emphasise his point—“ecosystem for a tonne of bottom dwelling creatures down there.
“To them, it’s the equivalent of an oasis falling from the sky and landing in the middle of a desert. It can feed them for decades, and gosh, the microbes that can be found there. I would love to study a whale fall...if they weren't at the bottom of the ocean. Eugh.” He shudders dramatically. “If I never have to go in a submarine, I will die happy.”
Eva wonders if the whale died happy. Or, at least, happy to know its death would bring life to so many. Surely that was a comfort when faced with the end.
