Summary
“Grace taking long time. Grace okay, question? Need help, question?”
Of all things Grace didn’t want, he especially didn’t want Rocky’s help.
“Nope! You don’t need to help–I’m just…” He held his glasses up to inspect them. Well, at least Grace tried to inspect them, but he couldn’t freaking see. “I’m just cleaning up a bit before bed.”
It wasn’t a complete lie. He had been intending to clean up.
Grace moved his glasses between his fingers, feeling over what he knew was shattered glass. Great. Perfect.
(Grace breaks his one and only pair of glasses. Naturally, he doesn't tell Rocky this very important information.)

Summary
Getting settled on a new planet has all kinds of ups and downs, Ryland Grace knows this. Eridian's are very different, not to mention simply their method of speech.
Grace may have forgotten to mention that some forms of sound, sudden and sharp, are painful to humans. It never came up, and after nearly a year on Erid, it had sort of slipped his mind. Not to mention, being on a space craft for nearly five years must have brought an issue like this to light, but it seems that he and Rocky had just gotten lucky.
The alternative, the pain of new sounds is discovered the hard way, with a bit too much blood as a result.

Summary
Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.
He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.
The task proves more complicated than he thought.

The S in Space is for Spiders by bene_casticat
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
18 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
Grace knows the chances he’ll survive and live a happy, fulfilling life are so comically low it would be easier for him to win the lottery seven times in a row. But he still allows himself to hope he might be able to go home after this is over, after he figures out why Tau Ceti's star isn’t dying.
If he doesn’t hope, it’s easy to panic, and that isn’t productive to the mission. Besides, there’s another thing that motivates him apart from Stratt’s faith and the knowledge Earth’s fate is in his hands. It’s a bit unexpected, so much so that the realization had made him laugh when it crossed his mind for the first time— it was so sudden and so correct it didn’t even feel like it had come out of his head:
At least there are no spiders in space.
Or,
One severely arachnophobic Ryland Grace meets a tarantula made out of rocks.

Grace is too weak to convey what he needs or that he's a friendly alien. He will have to wait until Rocky is healthy enough to help him get it across to the Eridians. And Adrian.

Ridges On Your Shell by tilltheroadbegins
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
31 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
“Rocky see texture of ‘skin’, as Grace call human shell, and Rocky find ridges similar to Rocky engravings, except bump out, not in. Raised patterns.”
Grace looks down at his arms, and this time, he flips them over to the soft underside of his forearms, and—
He pales instantly, freezing in place.
OR: Rocky asks about the scars on Grace's arms, and he learns what it means to live inside a human mind, for better or for worse.

Heart in the Clouds by PropriateStriving
Fandoms: Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types
02 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
“Rocky hear Grace heart.”
A tap tap tap presses into his palm, a beat without a song. For a moment, Grace thinks he’s counting the seconds—is it easier to keep track of the ones he’s awake?—but no. The tapping is too inconsistent, a pattern of flickering stars, a rhythm slow and stumbling.
Oh. His heart. Rocky’s counting his heartbeat.
A sudden trill. Low. Solemn.
“It beautiful.”
Or
A conversation under imaginary clouds as Grace loses his grip on reality, his strength, and his will. But not Rocky. Never Rocky.Bookmarked by WinterExplorer

Summary
His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.
He realizes it's just the right size for him.
---
The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.

Summary
Rocky watched his 22 crew mates die one by one, and now he is doomed to watch me die slowly as well.
Unable to fix it.
And unable to accept it.
I tried talking about my impending death with him before, but he just refuses to even think about it.
He just tells me that I won't die.
Because he won't let me die.He will be okay.
He will be back home, reunited with Adrian.
After we arrive at Erid he doesn't need me anymore, I just have to hold on for that long.Or
On the way to Erid, Grace suffers from malnutrition. Good thing he has a plan to fix it.Bookmarked by WinterExplorer

waves in guilt-like sand by fishygills
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.
“Grace ok, question?”
“…no bud. I’m not.”
“…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”
Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.
“Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”
Or
There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.

Summary
After Rocky and Grace land on Erid, Rocky is finally able to reunite with Adrian (though he has a LOT of anxiety surrounding it). He leaves the science team to tend to Grace in his weakened state and unbeknownst to Rocky, they're not as accommodating as promised.
I read the book so there's some cannon from there, but the chase scene in the movie is very compelling. I also really like how the bio-dome is set up in the movie too- so there's a little bit of both! Also I like to jump around POVs, and I mark the changes with lines like this: ------. Hope you enjoy :)

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
Humans had many sayings. This one that Rocky read on his very own Grace-gifted-human-thinking machine stumped him.
‘Time flies when you are having fun.’ Because time just could not fly!
——————
Rocky understood now. He hated that he got it now.
