Summary
John doesn't have a plan. What he has is twelve expired sticking plasters, a dried up bottle of eyewash and a fire blanket that some idiot decided belonged in the first aid box.
Or, in which:
John tries to pull his life together, and is instead accused of murder and kidnap.Mycroft has a rather frustrating week as Sherlock's problems collide explosively with Nick Fury's interests.
James Barnes finds himself back in France, trapped behind the lines with a strangely dressed English officer who may be an enemy agent.
(And various undisclosed interested parties are derailed from their usual activities!)

Ghosts in Space! by rosydays

Summary
It all started with a fairly typical:
“Anakin, don’t touch that!”
What happened next was highly irregular.In which the clones get some 'help'. Where the ‘help’ comes in the form of eight ghosts with exceptionally useful insights into life in a galaxy far far away based on their own highly relevant experiences on Earth during a variety of time periods, from the stone age to the 1990s.
(Or perhaps - we often wish, during the clone wars, that someone would swoop in and save the day with useful and relevant info. What if the people swooping in were the absolute antithesis of useful, and still managed to help, largely entirely by accident?)

Summary
Parker isn’t going mad. He knows the voices in his head aren’t the best sign. But let’s be clear, those voices belong to literal actual other people. (Okay, so those people are also sort of him).
Deadpool would like to point out that Yellow and White are also actual other people. Even if they don’t have their own movie franchises. Or even comic runs. So he isn’t going mad either.
Matt Murdock doesn’t feel sane. He hasn’t since he woke up to take the bar only to find that he (and half the universe) died? Skipped five years? He’s not too clear on the details. But he does know that Foggy spent those five years thinking he was dead and then went ahead and built a life without him. He also knows that Spider-man is following him.
(And honestly, Three and Pastor are having their own problems beyond simply joining Spider-man FM. Because they’re back in worlds at the edges of Strange’s spell, where it sort of worked and sort of didn’t).

Summary
Sherlock looks at Thor. Thor looks back. The train doors hiss open at Leicester Square and no-one moves.
(In which Sherlock just wants to get to his cadaver at Bart's before its ideal decomposition window passes, and Thor really needs to escape the strange metal box and get to Greenwich to save the universe!)

what exists beyond, beyond, beyond by tardigradeschool

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
"Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.
"Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."
"Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"
(In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)

Project Long Shot by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
26 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.
Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. And they're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.
OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?
(This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)

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.
