    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?"

    Summary

    Years after landing on Erid, Grace sits on his own private beach to write his paper on: 'Human and Eridian Anatomical Differences Regarding Mating and Relationships.' While doing so, it brings back memories of the development of his relationship with Rocky and Adrian.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been adrift for a very long time (certainly before being shot into space). Rocky has built him a house, and maybe Grace has found a home.
    ---
    Grace scoffs at him, but offers no argument. Like Rocky said: Mouth much better for kissing. He leans in to press his open mouth wetly over a set of auricles. There's a clear edge of disgust in Rocky's warbled trill, thrumming louder as Grace's tongue rasps against the xenonite.

    Quivering, Rocky vocalizes his revulsion loudly. Grace huffs a smug sound directly into the array of holes, chuckling as he shifts to kiss Rocky's shoulder joint. The mesh flexes enough for Grace to lick into the seam of it as he digs his nails into the shoulder opposite, sending Rocky into a racket of buzzing churrs. It's a delightfully sensitive area, thick carapace giving way to skin flexible enough to shift and twist. Human fingers are quite adept at sneaking into small spaces, and Rocky is always particularly weak under the wet, cold press of Grace's tongue.

    Summary

    “Need word,” Rocky says in baby-talk Eridian for me. The translator dutifully repeats “need word” in English a second later.

    After fifteen minutes of bewildering back and forth between the three of us, we determine the word he needs is “declension.”

    A year into the journey to Erid, Grace faces down his most formidable academic gauntlet since astrophage: the five-part polyphonic Eridian language. It’s only fair after Rocky mastered English, human mannerisms, Grace mannerisms- without so much as one complaint. And if learning Eridian might temper some of Grace’s desperate, near-complete dependence on Rocky in the future… well. That’s his own business.

    Eridian breaks Grace’s brain, heart, and soul- and puts it back together.

    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    I’ll figure something out. Something else. I have the best lab in the world (or, well, the best lab ever made on Earth), I have all the reference materials a guy could want, I am smart and I have a very smart friend who is very dedicated to keeping me alive. I’ll be alright. I’ll find a way. I’ll—

    If you awake,” Rocky says suddenly, startling me again. “You say ‘if you awake’. There is another option, question?”

    …Have I mentioned that he is very smart?

    Sometimes it’s not a good thing!

    Or: going into a coma on the way to Erid might be Grace's best shot at survival. No one on the ship likes the idea.

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...

    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

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if somehow you accidentally proposed to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you also notoriously suck at close interpersonal relationships (and also you have permanent memory damage)? What then?

    Summary

    voidknight's Project Hail Mary headcanon continuity. Featuring fluff, worldbuilding, and linguistic nerdery!

    Each work is stand-alone and can be read as such, but they do all take place in the same universe.

    - "Without a Doubt" establishes the Eridian grammar rules referenced in the rest of the series.
    - "Light-Permeable Solid" and "Another Medium" follow Grace and Rocky's asexual adventures in sexuality.

    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.
