False Friends by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

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.

[Podfic] Returned in Kind by IvyLee by AxeMeAboutAxinomancy

Summary
Podfic. Rocky took ‘Grace’ – a word in a language he can’t speak, with a meaning that doesn’t directly translate – and gave his human friend a name, one with weight and significance, which conveyed exactly who Grace was to the people of Erid. Then, to keep things professional, he did it a second time.
Grace isn’t even mad about it any more. He just wishes he hadn’t waited so long to return the favour.

Symptom of Life by scette

Summary
Abstract
The current assumption that all life in our universe exists within a habitable (or ‘Goldilocks’) zone betrays the limited perspective of prior researchers and will needlessly stifle future exploration and discovery in astrobiology. This thesis argues in favor of redefining ‘life’ and challenges the accepted notion that life requires water.The world demands Ryland Grace provide evidence of absence; in his dissertation, he invites it to do the same.
Or: five times Ryland Grace fails to prove he’s alive, and one time he succeeds.
