    Summary

    The year is 2049. It has been twenty-seven years since the launch of the Hail Mary. It has been a year since the arrival of the Beetle probes and restoration of the sun, with the Hail Mary itself expected to arrive soon.
    It has been a year and four months since the launch of the Jupiter Orbital Initiative (JOI) VII, a mission designed to collect data about the potential resources held by Jupiter and its moons. Where once it was another desperate gamble by humanity to find something that might help them survive as the sun dimmed, its purpose has since changed shape; now, it is simply another endeavor of science, and a way by which the Hail Mary may safely return home.
    However, unlike previous missions in JOI program, the JOI VII is a manned research station.
    Well. It’s got a sentient being aboard, anyway.
    . . .
    Despite his initial reservations, Grace is excited to be returning to Earth, and even more so to introduce it to Rocky; it really seems like Earth is ready to welcome the Hail Mary with open arms- heck, they were even given a pit stop in the form of the JOI VII! But why does the JOI VII commander look exactly like him? And why is he so cagey about his past?

    Summary

    Anna Grace has lived through many global disasters, but never once has a child looked her in the eyes and told her "My mommy said we're all going to die soon" until now. As she tries to grapple with the fact that the world is truly, really, seriously bracing for mass extinction in the next thirty years, she also has to come to terms with the fact that her son suddenly appears in every newspaper as the second-in-command of the most powerful woman in the world.

    Or: Project Hail Mary, but Ryland's parents are in the picture and watch in horror from afar as their son is getting pulled deeper and deeper into this mess

    Summary

    Changed or not, five limbs or four, she had a mission to do. Billions of people were counting on her, trillions of life forms. So long as she had breath in this fucked up body of hers, she would not rest until she saved the Earth or died trying. And then died after. Only heroes got the heroin overdose.

    Or

    Ilyukhina and Yáo were not buried in space, but on Erid, along with the crew of the Blip-A. For reasons beyond their understanding, they both wake back up, but something is seriously wrong with them. And why isn't Grace among them?

    Summary

    Takes place after the canon events of Project Hail Mary. A strange organism comes to Erid, an organism which Ryland Grace names the 'chronomot'. And the chronomot can reverse time. But that's not all it does--and it seems the only way to save Ryland's life from the chronomot is to take him back to Earth.
