Summary
Shane built his life on control—on routines so strict they left no room for anything real. What started as harmless discipline turned into something sharper, quieter, until even he couldn’t tell where the control ended and the damage began. By the time anyone noticed, Shane had already given up on himself.
Ilya never believed in control to begin with. His world unraveled slower, heavier—until one night, he stopped trying to hold it together at all. When he wakes up in a hospital bed, broken but alive, the only thing he feels is anger that it didn’t work. Ilya has given up on life entirely.
Against both their wishes, they’re sent to a remote rehab center and forced into the same room—two strangers with nothing in common but the ways they’re falling apart.
As the walls between them slowly crack, anger turns into understanding, and silence into something softer. Because maybe, just maybe… you don’t have to want to be saved to start finding a reason to stay.

Roche Limit by spektrewrites (BadForTheHeart)
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
28 Apr 2026

Summary
Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.
As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?Series

Summary
Since moving here for college, Ray has seen some pretty crazy scenes in the city, particularly after their baseball games, but this feels bigger than that.
Absent-mindedly, he wishes he was back in his hometown in Maine, far away from the chaos that seems to lurk beneath every city street, ready to erupt at the slightest opportunity.
The world as they know it comes to an end on October 12th 2009. Now all they can do is find a way to survive not just the crazed monsters that have taken over what remains, but each other too. That might be the hardest task of all.

And What Will You Do Now? by oQuirky

Summary
First, there was a moment in silence.
In Pete’s swaying peripheral vision, boys drifted, not nearly as many boys as when they last saw light, but, Ray was there, pressed up against Pete’s side and that was all that truly mattered.
Shadowed by the looming figure of the major, stood, stately, atop a sputtering vehicle, in the pale glow of early morning, all of them trudged together, towards their graves, children ardent for some desperate glory.
But then, there was a moment of noise.
And in less than the amount of time it would take to buy a ticket, everything changes.
Or: On the second morning of the long walk all broadcasts are abruptly cut due to 'outside interference', there is still a long way to walk to reach potential safety (Garraty's mom's place) but with the competition dismantled an opportunity to look out for each other arises and friendship takes precedence.

Summary
“Okay. If you don't like your wish and you don't like mine, if you had a do-over, what would you ask for?” Ray asks, unimpressed, like this is a dare that he doesn't expect Pete to be able to complete.
Pete had spent a lot of time thinking about this after the Walk. It’s near impossible not to, really; you’re given the hardest choice you’ll ever make after the most horrific few days of your life, and you have forever to stew in the consequences of it. Pete has been stewing in it, indeed. “Do you really think you can wish for anything?” he asks. “It shouldn’t have been possible to get that kid an elephant so soon, but—”
“You want a magical wish, then? Like a fucking genie? It’s all hypothetical anyway. Go for it.”
Their feet move in tandem, like soldiers. The horrible ache in Pete’s stomach has gone away. This is the only time it ever goes away: here, in a dream, with Ray. “Well, I’d ask if I could just go on walking with you forever.”

If Pete McVries had another chance, he'd choose a different wish. Post-Canon Garraty/McVries Fix-It.

Summary
Everything happened at the speed of light. One second, she was answering her Biology professors questions on synthetic genome therapy in front of a crowded lecture, and now she was standing in a hospital hallway. The bleach white walls and floors made her stomach flip, everything seemed far too bright and her knees wouldn't stop shaking.
The crash report stated that it was an "instantaneous impact” meaning their parents didn’t have much time to swerve out of the way. Some old truck that was far too old to keep up with the modern roads. Their mother and father were on their way back from a work trip. They were most likely eager to see their children again. Sometimes they’d get home after a two day trip and act like they haven’t seen their kids in years.
However, they had no time to prepare. No final words. No will. No goodbyes. Just, gone.
And now, somehow Sue's life had shifted. Her focus wasn’t school. It wasn't research. Instead, it was Johnny. Her ever so lively thirteen year old brother. A brilliant young boy who was now in her clutches..-.-.-.-.
Basically the beloved Susan Storm stepping into motherhood way earlier than she had planned.

Summary
A creature designed to cut him down at knee: this boy with his burnt-umber eyes and the freckles that cannot possibly be real, down here in the dark; with his sun-peach skin and the rabbit-down flicker of his eyelashes and the way he tilts himself towards Paddy like it is instinct, head down, mouth a long uneven trenchline.
Paddy knows only two things: he is in Death’s domain, and this beautiful, human-hearted ghost is a trick.
Paddy manages to get himself lost in Hell. A spirit with huge spun-silk eyes and strangely familiar hands is there to guide him back out.

Summary
He’d feel it all when he was safe, he’d always assured himself. Yet, Mat had a sneaking suspicion that the day where he was safe enough to exist as more than a hair-trigger soldier was never going to arrive.
OR: The warriors of old have been protecting Mat since before he could talk. He may not have blown the Horn of Valere yet, but they know their own, and they will not leave him to fall before he has the chance to fly. This changes some things and leaves others entirely untouched.
OR, OR: The Heroes of the Horn behave akin to dissociative identity states, because Season 3 is doing things to me.

Summary
"Like I said — public speaking is not my forte." Viktor smiled up at Jayce. "Nor is private speaking. I’ll let you handle the salesmanship. Go…" He flapped his last three fingers again to shoo Jayce away, still not tipping over his champagne. "Use your pretty face to get us some seed funding."
Jayce nearly spilled his drink. "You…you think I’m pretty?"
Viktor rolled his eyes. "Everyone does."
Then he turned and walked away, beelining for a snack-laden waiter like he hadn’t just upended Jayce’s world.
Jayce was still trying to reorient himself when Mrs. Kiramman sidled up to him.
"Jayce." She smiled, polished and practiced. "I'd like you to meet an old business partner of mine. She is deeply interested in you and stands to gain quite a bit by investing in your work."
This was absolutely not what Viktor had meant.
But Jayce wouldn't let his…squeamishness…get in the way of his and Viktor's pursuit of progress. Their aspirations were worth a few bad nights on Jayce's part.
And Viktor never needed to know it wasn't just Jayce's sales pitch making their dreams come true. Jayce would keep the nightmares to himself.

Summary
“You remember my name, but little else.” It’s spoken as a statement for Jayce to confirm, not a question. “Nothing of how we met.”
Jayce edges closer to the barrier.
“No, not - Not technically.” He considers for a moment, and only a moment, what he should reveal. But if the parts of him that remember are insisting he put his faith in Victor, there must be good reason for it.
“I didn’t - don’t, remember you, but I know you. I can feel it.”
“How can you-”
“And I trust you, Viktor. Something tells me I’m allowed to do that.”
-
Jayce wakes up in the Undercity beaten, imprisoned, missing his tie…And his memories. His kidnappers are demanding the formula for Hextech - A powerful energy source Jayce has never even heard of. He knows only one thing for certain, and that’s who he can trust. Even if it’s the man that kidnapped him.
