Summary
Two survivors try engineering a solution to touch starvation and discover they’re building a way to admit they love each other. Or Big Gay Yearning: the fic
“All this for a hug. You must want it pretty bad, huh.”
It slips out before Grace can stop himself. Rocky stops for a brief second, carapace tilting towards him intently. He wiggles slightly, it’s the ‘I’m watching you’ wiggle, and Grace puts his hands up in defense.
“Hey, you said it!" Grace defends himself, "Rocky Grace same!”
Rocky hums and goes back to work. Grace thinks maybe he got away with it.
“Grace tell Rocky how badly he wants Rocky touch.”
Oh. Grace did not get away with it. Crap.
“What was that?”
“Did Rocky stutter, question?”
Double crap.

Summary
The soulmate string is a purely human trait; even if two connected humans have no similarities, no possible contact with each other up until their first meeting, they could have one. Sometimes the strings change colors as a relationship evolves, a phenomena that was extremely hard to track. They can't be replicated. There's no way to artificially duplicate a string or change its color. Nobody has been able to figure out if they're even made of anything other than light. And to round it all off, the only people that can see the strings are you and whoever you're connected to.
This is especially bad for Ryland, who has two clear strings shooting straight up into the sky.

Courting Gifts by JayietheRiverWarrior

Summary
Rocky wasn't courting Grace. Nope. Not at all. Not even when every totally-just-for-a-friend gift he gives him is made with such loving dedication to making his Grace's life just that little bit happier. He couldn't bear to ruin what they had by asking for too much - but he didn't account for Grace returning the favor with his own gift.
Or, two times Rocky definitely wasn't giving Grace courting gifts, and one time Grace absolutely was giving Rocky a courting gift.

Summary
After 27 years, Earth's Hail Mary comes through. The world has been forever changed, and billions died because of the Astrophage crisis, but space agencies have done their best to survive and keep their telescopes pointing to Tau Ceti. After the beetles are spotted, Eva Stratt forces her way into the CSA office to learn what the Hail Mary crew discovered. Downloading the data is slow and happens in pieces, so the team has to try piecing together what happened out in the Tau Ceti system.
Eva Stratt is faced with the reality of what she did to Grace, watching him deal with the situation she put him in, leading to a complex mix of emotions. Part of her wishes things could have been different. But she knows that wishing on a star is useless.

Summary
“Here? Here? Here?” He's not testing anymore. The little rascal has my body figured out and he goes for all my ticklish spots.
“Get-” I choke out through bubbling laughter, “Get off!”
I try to push up, but he puts a limb on my back, pinning me down. I can't get up.
The laughter dies.
I can't get up.
OR
Rocky's new suit enables him to push further into Grace's personal space.
Note: This story is only one chapter of 2,780 words. Subsequent chapters are cultural or scientific explanations with fun facts from my headcanon. :)

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.

Summary
(A canon divergence AU covering the nine days leading up to the launch of the Hail Mary)
Less than nine days before the Hail Mary is to launch, Eva Stratt asks Commander Yáo to take on an impossible task.
A few minutes after the call ends, Dr. Grace arrives. He takes in the scene: three cots, Ilyukhina asleep on one, me sitting on one, and a third empty. Three cots for three crew members. I rise to greet him and note an expression on his face I can't easily read as he looks around the room. At that moment I am certain he will understand Ms. Stratt’s scheme. He's a brilliant man. Surely he will notice the implications of what is right before his eyes. But if he has any such realization, he gives no sign of it.

Summary
The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.
Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???
...
Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

Cooperation Under Coercion Is Not Consent by work_life_challenge
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
23 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
This story explores what might have happened if Grace had undergone the preparations for the Hail Mary mission while conscious.
His refusal remains, but the process continues anyway.
It is the story of a body undergoing coercive medical procedures for a mission that the mind refuses. It is a psychological deep dive into the mechanics of what happens when life confronts us with challenges or blows of fate that we cannot avoid.
It is not a story about cruelty or torture. The story focuses on the psychological processes unfolding within both Grace and the team preparing his body for the long coma, as well as on the ethical dead ends that challenge everyone involved and offer no easy solutions.
Drawing on my background in psychology and medicine, I have tried to portray the medical procedures and psychological processes as realistically as possible. It is science fiction after all, so it leaves room for creative choices, omissions, and simplifications.
**Content warning:** If medical procedures, states of intense fear, or confronting one’s own mortality are sensitive topics for you, this story may be challenging to read.
