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
Time doesn't heal all wounds, but it just might give you enough space to face your execution on your own two feet. Ryland Grace hopes so, at least. Jury's still out on that one.

Summary
„You know who you are,“ Carl says softly.
The world fades to black.
He bolts upright in his cot, gasping for air, the low hum of the Vat vibrating through the metal floorboards.
Oh, fudge.or, the one where Ryland wakes up over and over on the day of the goodbye party on Stratt's Vat, after the launch of the Hail Mary. His friends die, or he dies, and his boss-friend repeatedly sentences him to death. He just wants it to stop.

Guiltily Not Regretful by Sage_Green_Converse_24678
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
07 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
"It was a strange and abnormal experience to be guilty of something Stratt did not regret."
The thing about emotions and logic, is that both can contradict each other and be perfectly correct at the same time.
Or
Stratt loses a staring contest with a statue.

Summary
Eva Stratt wakes up to a call heralding the end of the world. It’s nothing new, the world has been ending since the sun started to dim but something about this is different, calling up ghosts from Eva’s past and faces she’d long since buried.
Or: NASA finds an odd mass on the outskirts of the solar system. And it’s headed for Earth.

past tense; in memoriam by jamais_vu0

Summary
“How far did he get?”
“Almost touched the fence,” Carl says.
“He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired.
“Past tense already?”
Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now.
(eva stratt has just kidnapped her second-in-command. eva stratt has just lost her closest friend.)

Summary
Ryland Grace is not going to be one of those *crazy* time travellers. He has more sense than that. He can totally fix things and get back home and nobody will ever be the wiser. The Acting thrum would be so proud of how well he is pulling this off right now.
or
Ryland Grace is a time traveller. He's also the world's smartest idiot. The rest of the team on the Vat is totally gonna let him fix things, but honestly, how stupid does he think they are?

"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."

You Are Here, Question? by Starri_Skye

Summary
I still think in Earth units sometimes, translating for the human that isn’t even here. Maybe it is subconscious, because if Grace were here, he would know how to figure out what happened.
Like how Taumoeba infected my ship.

Summary
"Do not," Grace warns weakly, already knowing it’s too late.
"I married a scientist," Rocky says solemnly. "A brilliant man. A perceptive man."
"If you keep talking I will throw myself out of this car."
" — There is no one else I want to be with but Dr.Grace, even when hes being very very obtuse —"
"Thats not even a good usage of that word! And Ill make you sleep on the couch!"
" — And hes a man I'd love to have kids with."
What better way is there to fluster your husband than to pick him up in an expensive car in front of his students? Why, bringing up the idea of having kids in said car of course.

Summary
“Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.
I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.
or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

Summary
Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.
Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.
“Grace. What are you doing?”
Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.
“‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

Summary
He was smiling as if he had not been stabbed, as if his neck had not been chewed through.
Huh.
Newt wanted to laugh. Rage, terror, agony ripped through his system as he felt himself lean forward. Falling right beside Tommy with his skull almost cracking on the cement—like the eggs that Frypan cooked during the lucky harvests in the Glade.
Then, footsteps.
---
A what-if AU where Newt was too quick, Thomas was too slow, and their hearts were torn in a blender of pain.Series

There’s A Hole In The Earth Here (And We’re Walking Around The Edges) by Stellarsjaythegaybird

Summary
Newt had never expected to make it to the Safe Haven. At least... not alive.
But he had. Somehow. He was grateful.
—————
He felt… calm. Calm, with a fuzzy trim of energy around the edges, keeping him on his toes while steady nonetheless. He could hear the ocean, the sound of waves caressing the beach like a forever-entangled lover’s embrace. He could hear the wind, brushing through the leaves of a nearby tree, the sound like the soft, fleeting kisses of a never-there spouse. And he could hear Thomas. Breathing, shifting, sighing. Alive. Just like him.
