    Summary

    "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

    The day Ryland Grace proves the Carl Hypothesis and discovers how to breed Astrophage, a probe is spotted in the outer regions of the solar system. When it's recovered, the words TO SOLVE ASTROPHAGE PROBLEM are found written on the outside, and below that is written in slightly smaller text, Deliver to Ryland Grace.

    Grace, unfortunately, has no idea what's going on.

    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.

    Summary

    “In a kinder universe, there would only be one apocalyptic crisis going on at a time. Unfortunately that was not this universe."

    Not only is the sun dying, but a vampire plague is sweeping the earth in tandem.

    Eva Stratt was chosen to lead the Petrova Task Force, to effectively lead the charge to save the world. The job requires her to be unflinchingly ruthless and selfless in turns. The ends justify the means, as long as the end result leaves the earth saved.

    Then the Worst Case Scenario happens. She’s turned.

    The Vampire Eva Stratt is different from the Human she once was. You see, Vampires by their very nature are Selfish Creatures. They have to be in order to function and survive.

    What does selfish (and bloodthirsty) look like on the most powerful woman in the world?

    (TLDR: Highly self indulgent Vampire AU. Vampire Stratt! Her & Graces weird secret third thing getting SO MUCH MORE STRANGE.)

    (Edited as of June 28th 2026. Mostly I just fixed the tense situation, so now everything is uniformly in past tense, and made sure it flowed better. Also I messed around with the chapter titles a bit.)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace went into a coma 10 days before the Hail Mary launched, and his crew were put into their own comas. Turns out there's a ten-day difference in wake-up time, too; and, unfortunately for Ilyukhina and Yao, ten days is enough time to make first contact.
