Summary
He blinked his eyes open, with sticky slowness and found himself on a bed, in a small and dimly lit room. There was a tall man sitting by the bed, whom he didn’t recognise, wearing the sort of sober black suit which put the word ‘bodyguard’ into his mind and let it sit there, menacingly.
He gave Grace a polite nod.
“You shouldn’t move too much, just yet. The dizziness will wear off soon.”
Grace attempted to reply and nailed it on only the second attempt.
“Whuh …doin’ here?”
Okay, perhaps ‘nailed it’ was an overstatement. But he seemed to have managed to convey the gist.
“We rescued you, Dr Grace. Don’t worry, you’re safe now.”

Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

Hail Mary: Grace by Inches by PL1

Summary
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a mission he doesn't remember volunteering for. Alone on a ship scaled far too large for a borrower, he has to try to figure out why he's so far from home, and what he's supposed to do. On top of that, he needs to figure out why this mission is so prepared to have a borrower on the crew--standing at only six inches tall, it's easy to think none of this was meant for him. And yet, everywhere he looks he finds evidence that whoever built this ship built it with both humans and borrowers in mind.
An impossible task looms over him. A scientific mystery has somehow sent him hurtling through space, impossibly far from any other human or borrower, and it's on him to surpass an extinction-level threat that doesn't care how big someone is. It will end the world all the same if he doesn't do something about it.
But, despite what he thinks, he's not alone.

Summary
Ilyukhina flops back down onto the bed. “You’re no fun. Hey, Rocky, what it is like sharing a head with Grace?”
Leaky. Memories always falling out. Have to remind it eat, much disgust.
I put up a finger. “First of all, Rocky doesn’t share a head with me. He has his own head. It’s just that he’s always butting into mine.”
Only because I love you.
“Love you too, buddy.”
“Aww, you guys are so cute.” Ilyukhina rolls onto her stomach. “Hey Rocky, did you know that Grace once accidentally called Stratt ‘mom’?”
(Grace introduces Rocky to Ilyukhina. Too late, he realizes this was a mistake.)

Summary
“Oh, it’s a way for humans to tell each other they’re taken. To remember,” I say, popping a bunch more gummy bears into my mouth. Rocky makes a disgusted sound and I smile as I chew. “It’s just a nice way of showing they have someone they committed to.”
Rocky freezes. I don’t notice for a good few seconds, not until I get the pressing sensation that he’s staring at me, his lack of eyes irrelevant.
I turn to face him. He’s jittering, something like shaking from excitement or anger, I’m not sure.
“Rocky?” I ask.
“Grace have ring,” he points, and oh no. “Grace have mate? Why Grace no say!?”
I hold up my hands before he can get too excited, though I can already hear a familiar sound, a repeating joyful and confused song start to escape from him.
“No, no, no!” he freezes again. Deflates, a little. I sigh and run a hand down my face. “It’s… complicated.”

"Aw, don't give me bad news." Grace tipped his head back, smiling idly. "Isn't life in prison enough for one man? What's next, they're taking away my birthday?"
Carl waited, sitting still with his hands folded on the table, patient as Grace's wandering gaze and tapping knee stayed erratic. When their eyes met again, Grace's expression fell.
"What?" Grace said, with more dread.

"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."
or
Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.
Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.
What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.

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
The Hail Mary lands back on Earth carrying a middle school teacher and the alien microorganism that will save the world. Thousands of miles away, Eva Stratt watches her lead scientist kiss the ground through a grainy TV screen. Deep in prison with bruises littering her skin, she thinks it's all right that she'll die here, because humanity will persevere. Her job is done, so the rest of her life doesn't matter in the grand scheme. She deserves the hell she lives in.
Ryland Grace disagrees.
