Grace Sleep, Rocky Watch by KawaiiSpaghetti
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
18 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.
But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.

Either Way, We're Not Alone (i'll find a new place to be from) by rabbitqs

Summary
“Grace leak from eyes,” Rocky leaned closer, emitting a soft, rhythmic purr that echoed concern. “Heart beat fast. Bad, bad, bad. Grace okay, question?”
And Grace didn’t want to say anything. Wasn’t planning to. It was shameful. It was cowardly. It was pathetic. But—
But—
“I didn’t want to go, Rocky,” Grace wheezed out, the words spilling, tearing from his throat, jagged and bloody and ripping at the seams, and it hurt— “I didn’t volunteer. I-I didn’t want to be a hero.”

Summary
Grace has made it to Erid, alive and kinda-well. Almost well. It's fine. Things are finally looking up.
Until he's told in no uncertain terms that he can't stay on Erid long term. Erid can't spare the manpower needed to keep him healthy, even keeping him alive is a challenge. It's better for everyone involved if he returns back to Earth. (Everyone except for Grace, but who's counting?)
Rocky is not going to let him go alone.

Summary
While researching human needs Rocky learns about touch starvation and the importance of touching for humans. Worried for Grace's well-being, Rocky plans several different ways to provide Grace with the touching intimacy he needs to be healthy. Rocky expects to be praised for his initiative and ingenuity, but instead Grace's reaction is…concerning.
I realize that as I’ve been imagining a human hug, I’ve actually stressed myself out a little. I can’t help but frown and slightly grimace at the thought. This can’t be normal. Humans enjoy touching! Imagining a hug should be pleasant. It should reduce stress.

Summary
A few months into their trip to Erid, an unsettling dream quickly takes a turn for the worse as Grace and Rocky realise they're dealing with something that can go beyond the boundaries of their natural perception. Something that dwells in an ocean of blood and wants nothing more than to live.
But living is a loaded term. It couldn't save him as he was, so the sapling needs new soil...and it has found the Hail Mary.
It'll be a scramble not just for survival, but to maintain their sense of self, belief, and maybe save a few stars and souls along the way.

Got a request over on Tumblr for Petrova Taskforce-era Grace with a stomach flu dismissing his own symptoms and then trying to push through it. Y'know I am a total sucker for this type of stuff so I typed up something for it. Mirroring it here for the fellow Grace sickfic enjoyers

Hold up… how many coffees has she had today? I look over at the still half full cup next to the empty one. I've been at her side literally the entire time– She should need to use the toilet worse than I needed to by now.

Acting like a Pebble by Chantidy

Summary
In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?
I focus on Grace for a split moment.
…
Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.
Or so Rocky thought.
(5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!
This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)

Well done, Ryland, I think to myself dryly, You’ve gained emotional self-awareness just in time to lose your ability to feel emotions.

Summary
He's been stranded for God knows how long, the radio probably doesn't even work anymore. He's fucked. Simon knows he's fucked, but he persists. If there's a chance, if there's any chance that he can make it out alive - he'll take it. Because that selfish, hopeful part of him believes that he can survive.
“Look, Grace, right? You-” He swallows, “You gotta get me outta here."
Tldr; Grace and Rocky connect to the SM-13's radio right before it all goes to shit, they gotta get bro outta there, then figure out what to do after

“Shut up,” Healy muttered; he placed the hand not gripping March’s jacket over his mouth and pressed him up against the wall.
And- oh. March’s pants were suddenly tighter than they had been earlier.
March and Healy get stuck in a closet in the middle of a case, and March quickly learns just how much he likes Healy pushing him around. -

Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.
“Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”
March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”
“Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”
“Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”
For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.
Incriminating.

Summary
Holland pulls the freshly lit cigarette out of his mouth. “What’s your fucking deal, Healy? Seriously?”
“My deal is that you sent your daughter to a sleepover on the night of your wife’s death anniversary, and that it freaked her out enough that she called me and begged me to make sure you were alright.”
