    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.

    Summary

    It was fine. He was fine. He’s working on his feelings, albeit in an unorthodox way — “You can’t go cold turkey and not expect to have Stratt withdrawal symptoms,” Carl argued the other day. He hated that he called it that, he hated it even more that in some twisted way, it was kind of accurate.

    or

    Grace refuses to admit he's jealous and naturally, no one believes him (not even himself really). Stratt thinks it's unproductive.

    Summary

    Something old,

    something new,

    something borrowed,

    something blue.

    -

    Baikonur explodes three months ahead of launch instead of three days. They get married. It changes nothing.

    (Almost nothing.)

    Summary

    He steps into the cell, anxious and eager, expecting to spend a few hours talking to her unresponsive form as usual.

    Instead, he meets ice-pale eyes, and Stratt, looking at him and seeing him for the first time in over twenty-six years.

    The only thing Grace can think is, she's here. He's been back on Earth for months, and only now has he finally met her.

    Summary

    A little over thirteen years after the Hail Mary launch, Eva Stratt is released from prison to assist the world’s bickering space agencies after a junior NASA technician spots an unidentified object near the orbit of Neptune. It appears to be on a direct collision course with Earth, and is moving so quickly it does not appear to be affected by any local gravitational forces, not even that of Sol. Oh, and one more thing—it seems to be slowing down.

    OR

    Captain Dr. Ryland Grace pilots the Hail Mary home long before (and long, long after) its mission is supposed to be complete. In their desperate venture beyond their solar system, humanity may have just accidentally unlocked a new chapter in interstellar physics.
