Dear Dr. Cullen by DaisyDoe

20 Sep 2026
Tags
Summary
Carlisle lingered close, as still as a stone. For a moment, Charlie wondered if all the air had been sucked out of the room. There was some new look in the Doctor's eye, like… He wanted something from him.
Charlie Swan had given much thought to how he would die, but he never suspected it would be because of love.
When the rich and charming Dr. Cullen moves into Forks, it feels like Charlie can't stop running into him. Over cases and coffee, they get to know each other better... And Charlie finds it more and more difficult to suppress unprofessional thoughts. Meanwhile, Carlisle's discovery of his very first Singer puts a strain on the Cullens settling into Forks.Bookmarked by maxsplaining

“I’m making breakfast. How do you like your eggs?”
“Oh,” she says, flustered again — god this girl is easy to work up — “you really don’t have to, Mr. — Dr. — Jack.”
He cocks an eyebrow at her. “You’re a guest in my house Samira. I expect you to act like one, and that means eating breakfast when I offer.”

Summary
It doesn’t help the sparks of smoldering want when he sees Whitaker dragged around by Robby, when he watches the kid get pliant and loose, firmly secured under Robby's exacting touch.
Except that's not quite right either.
There's something about the curve of his shoulders, the tilt of his head. The glint in his cornflower blue eyes, an evaluating hunger in the depths of him, the curl of his fingers around a scalpel; he's steadier with a blade in his hand than just about anywhere else.
OR: Jack Abbot doesn't have control issues. He swears. Just like he swears that he doesn't have any special interest in Dennis Whitaker. No, this is all in the name of helping.

Blessed be the fruit by nopaintjustpain

Summary
“Grace! Why you no say plants are on Hail Mary, question?!”
The question puts me on my back foot. Literally. I jog up to the door after my morning run to find Rocky waiting for me on my side of the house, suited up and ticked off. I rock back on my heel.
“Huh?”
“What you mean ‘huh’, is simple question! Why no mention plants on Hail Mary when almost die of no vitamins?!”
“No bud, I heard you the first time,” I scoff, shaking my head ruefully. He gets under my feet, tapping at my thighs with his claws to annoy me while I toe off my running shoes.
“Hey, quit— quit it! You’ve gotta be confused, the only plant matter on the Hail Mary was the food in my meals, and that’s years gone.”
——-
Aka, Grace gets a bittersweet surprise several years after he settles into his life on Erid.

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

The Wire Mother by nopaintjustpain
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
24 May 2026
Tags
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.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

Summary
By the time Colt Seavers meets Jody Moreno, he's been stealth for more than a decade.
At least when it comes to his being trans, anyway; he's never made a secret of not being straight. He didn't try making a secret of being trans, either, it just kind of happened.

Grace racks his brain for a moment, then offers, "Precious?"
"[Yes! Teachers precious! Grace precious!]"
On Erid, teachers are the protected, prized few. Rocky learns that Grace was a teacher, and they have a discussion. (Can it be counted as one if dissonant notes are shrieked at the revelation for the majority of it?)

Two aliens loving each other by Moldcontamination (fungifacts)
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
06 May 2026
Tags
Summary
“Yes. Important research for science.” he pauses “Important research for Grace-related science” the Innuendo was there, alright. “Graceology” Ryland giggles at his pun. Rocky sure is trying to get a PhD in Graceology lately. “Call me a geologist the way I’m studying your-”
“Stupid joke. Anyways, Rocky found out some humans liked to use certain clothes before or during mating. Courtship reasons? Question.” He had figured out that humans really liked their clothes and while this wasn’t that uncommon in Erid, Rocky found it weird. “Are you talking about lingerie? Gosh you- Yes, it is kind of for courtship I guess. But sometimes it’s just to feel- Uh nice?” he makes a so-so hand gesture “Never really understood that but it’s something to do with texture.”
“Understand. Eridian’s have something similar but it is solely for courtship. Fun”
Grace and Rocky have an unsual friendship. But there is nothing usual about two aliens loving each other.

the ideal husband by cinnamonsalt

Summary
“...nope.” Grace pulled the quilt farther up on his shuddering body, then turned his back to him. “Nope- oh, no, no, absolutely not. Nope.”
“For sci-encee,” Rocky whined, actually whined, practically pawing at the edge of the bed, and Grace whipped back to face him, eyes squinted in the dark.
“I don't buy that, Rock.” Rocky wilted with the sentiment. God, he was pushy- and if Eridians could evolve to have puppy dog eyes, Grace was convinced Rocky would be at the forefront of that development. “Not for a second. Y’know, you’ve been-”
“How will Rocky possibly know how to please, if no?”

Kiss Me, I’m Irish.
Jack means to pop it right off and chuck it at her head. Instead, there’s a code and he’s off, doing his little skip-hop because he ain’t in his running leg.
