Cooperation Under Coercion Is Not Consent by work_life_challenge
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
23 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
This story explores what might have happened if Grace had undergone the preparations for the Hail Mary mission while conscious.
His refusal remains, but the process continues anyway.
It is the story of a body undergoing coercive medical procedures for a mission that the mind refuses. It is a psychological deep dive into the mechanics of what happens when life confronts us with challenges or blows of fate that we cannot avoid.
It is not a story about cruelty or torture. The story focuses on the psychological processes unfolding within both Grace and the team preparing his body for the long coma, as well as on the ethical dead ends that challenge everyone involved and offer no easy solutions.
Drawing on my background in psychology and medicine, I have tried to portray the medical procedures and psychological processes as realistically as possible. It is science fiction after all, so it leaves room for creative choices, omissions, and simplifications.
**Content warning:** If medical procedures, states of intense fear, or confronting one’s own mortality are sensitive topics for you, this story may be challenging to read.

Number 5: Eva Stratt and Ryland Grace’s Unsubtle Yearning by holyflyingswisscheese

Summary
Okay, sure. So, there was a word for people who didn’t find other people sexy. Great. A normal word. A well-known word. And not a medical condition.
But surely whoever wrote this understood that it was an anomaly. There weren’t enough people like this to warrant a label. After all, what was the point of a human who didn’t want sex?
(What was the point of me? — I’d asked a hundred times before.)
Or: A heteronormative movie adaptation, a very weird BuzzFeed article, and an internet rabbit hole lead Grace to the discovery of a label sixty years in the making.

Summary
The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.
Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???
...
Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

Summary
Day 14. They moved me to a new temporary apartment today. Really, it’s just a room that's bigger than the last dark room, although at least this one isn't as stuffy. The living area has a single large window that looks out onto—you guessed it—more darkness, but occasionally I see the odd streak of white light flash across what I think is the sky. As for my health, well… I’ve lost three teeth in as many months. My hair has turned brittle and begun snapping. We just resolved the first batch of lesions then I woke up this morning with ten more. I wake up tired and go to bed tired. I haven’t shared this with anybody, but I really am not sure if I’m going to make it.
Rocky still hasn't visited.

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.

Summary
“Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.
“I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”
...
Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?
Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).
Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

Summary
After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.
Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.
-
Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.
