Summary
People have a image of Dr. Ryland Grace. A bit of an oddball, hard working, loves a punny shirt, and is still very much a teacher for all that he's head scientist. Sometimes, however, he does something that is outside expectations. Even the ones he has of himself.

Think I'll Walk Around the Moon Instead by glennjaminhow

Summary
Three times Ryland Grace being sick is met with indifference + one time a sentient rock takes it very seriously.
~
“Hi,” he says, trying out the word. He sounds snotty and sleepy. “Sorry to bother you. I think… I-I think someone el-else needs to watch my group.”
There’s silence on the other end.
“Why?” is all that comes next.
Inconvenience.
He’s always an inconvenience.
Ryland sucks in a deep breath that leaves him coughing. “I don’t feel… I d-don’t feel very well, and… I t-threw up, and I…”
His voice gives out before he can finish.

Summary
For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.
He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.
A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.
Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.
Grace has to make another choice.
Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

Colt had looked at her with a taut jaw. Of course he did. Of course he knew. He was there for years when Ryland was so rarely human and so fully fox. He just got better at it, Colt had said, better at being human.

I’m wide awake (and I can see the perfect sky is torn) by Caseyrocksmore
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026)
25 Apr 2026

Summary
“Grace safe now,” Rocky repeated. “Grace safe with Rocky.”
Of course he was safe here -- or as safe as an untrained astronaut could be on a jury-rigged ship rocketing through deep space on a mission he only half understood with his alien best friend, anyway. But there had been a time…
He wasn’t ready to say it out loud. Not yet. Maybe not ever. But part of him was sure he’d experienced… something. Something worse than being held down, sedated, and then forced into a suicide mission. Something really bad. Something unspeakable.
(Grace has nightmares. He starts to piece together what happened to him before he left academia.)

Summary
"Grace have mate, question?"
He remembers warm brown skin, a baritone voice, laughter, pressed suits and sunglasses. The feeling of lips on his and warm touch but when he tries to think of something substantial, a name or a face, it's blank.
"No," he says but the word leaves a sour grit on his tongue.

Summary
It was stupid of Grace to believe that Erid had everything all figured out. Despite how good things might seem, he knew better than anyone that sometimes people fell through the cracks, and more often than not, it was the most vulnerable who did. He might think himself a coward, but he will never stop fighting for those who need it most.
AN: The following work will explore themes of past and present abuse. If you or a loved one need help, contact your local hotlines. You are not alone and please take care of yourself <3

Summary
Lars likes Driver's gloves.
He likes the way they wrap themselves snugly around each and every one of Driver's fingers, likes the way they caress the palms and backs of his hands, hug the lithe lines of his wrists. He likes the way Driver's hands flex within them; the soft creaking of the worn leather is as soothing to Lars's ears as a masterfully crafted, cloying lullaby. Lars likes to watch him pull them on, the way his fingers wiggle and settle into their rightful place, ready to do a job.
Their job—other than to hold Driver's hands while he drives—is to touch.

Summary
“My – my lieutenant. She told me something, when this whole investigation started.”
“What?”
“That for not having a soul I was doing all right.”
“I don’t really think that what you are means you can’t have one. Seems to me like you did a fine job of it on your own. How did that book go? A humane soul is a unique and lovely thing that’s always attacked and never destroyed? Stop thinking it’s not for you. I knew enough people like you who’d have put any human to shame.”

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

Summary
He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.
It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.
But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.
He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.
Everything except him, it seems.
Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

The first thing that Tsunade notices is that 'the Kakashi brat' (as dubbed by Jiraiya) has a familiar shock of white hair. There's only one clan in Konoha with hair as white as lightning and the chakra to match: 'Sakumo', she thinks unbidden, the cold hand of grief gripping her throat.
[Deaf!Kakashi AU. Tsunade returns to Konoha and meets Kakashi (again)].
