any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from science by eunoise
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Grace and Rocky are about three months into their trip to Erid when Grace is looking through the Hail Mary's manifest and wondering why on Earth they had packed, like, hundreds of caterpillar cocoons and one pound of bird feathers and remembers that he's a wizard.
so magic is real and so are aliens, which is about as believable as space radiation, visible light, and the theory of relativity (and, somehow, the story of mary poppins, grace's favorite documentary)

The Grace Period by petramss

Summary
Ryland Grace saved Earth, he saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.
Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.
But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.
or Grace learning to be an Eridian
☀︎ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ◎
For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
“Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
Because, well—
This might be the last time I ever cried.
“No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
“Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
“Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
“Still no understand humor.”Bookmarked by TheCheeseWizzard

False Friends by IvyLee
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
07 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
5 months ago, a series of space stations calling themselves the "Coalition of Iron" appeared throughout the 40-Eridani system, bearing a bewildering and terrifying story of a universe without stars, a humanity on the verge of extinction, and a moon made of human blood.
Simon survived the Eel and the Eye, only to reimprisoned as soon as he was pulled out, subject to the whims of scientists who seek answers in his biology. Now, Ava's dumped him into the custody of a new scientist, separate from the COI, a complete unknown. He's learned better by now than to hope.
Dr. Ryland Grace is pulled from his peaceful life on Erid to retrieve a specimen from the COI, an organism mutated by prolonged exposure to the blood ocean of AT-5
He expects an amoeba. They bring him a person.

I was asleep when it happened. I'd woken up without my meories on a suicide mission to save the sun and met and tentitivly befriended an alien(!!) this past month. My life was already going crazy.
So why wouldn't a blood covered person appear out of nowhere on my ship. And oh boy, its a kid the age of my students. What could possibly go wrong?

Confirmation Bias by Yaoi_Bill_Nye

17 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.
No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.
~~~
Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.
(Simon thinks he's dead and that Grace as an angel for A While due to continued misunderstandings)[NO AI USED, AND DO NOT FEED MY WORK TO AI, I EXPRESSLY FORBID IT.]

Someone Worth Being Brave For by TheLochNessMonstar

Summary
Grace is too late rescuing Rocky. When he finds the Blip-A again, Rocky is already gone, so Grace does the only thing he can think of, and he takes Taumeoba-82.5 to Erid himself. If he can't save Rocky, well, he might as well make sure his death wasn't in vain.
He's sick, starving, and has no Eridian native to introduce him, but he's going to save Rocky's planet no matter what. After that... he supposes all that's left is for him to die. He's nearly out of food and Yao's gun is still tucked away safely in the Hail Mary's storage.
Fortunately for him, Adrian doesn't plan on letting their mate's best friend die so easily.Bookmarked by TheCheeseWizzard

This isn't an evolution by LeLapin

22 Jul 2026

Summary
It’s the year 3048, and Earth is overpopulated, under-resourced and suffocating to death under compounded centuries of abuse.
Humanity senses they will run out of time long before they advance enough to reverse centuries of environmental pollution or learn to accelerate planetary terraformation.
Here starts Plan A - asking the not-so-friendly neighbours for help, except, well, unfortunately, human diplomacy and Eridian diplomacy are totally incompatible.
No biggie (medium to little whoop). A minor revision and now Plan A is - Diplomacy the shit out of these aliens using lab-grown and human-piloted Eridian bodies.
Enter Ryland Grace and his unintentional Plan B - Fumbling accidentally into seducing the celebrated Eridian Engineer who saved Erid and his brilliant head scientist husband.

Summary
Another planet has noticed that 40 Eridani is brightening again, and its inhabitants have showed up to say hello... and to make a very strange offer: each of Erid’s representatives may make a wish. And what Grace and Rocky both want most, but think they can never have, is to better understand the strange way in which the other sees the world. No AI was used in the writing or illustrating of this story.

Summary
The Soulmorph is a complicated process honed by evolution where when Eridians meet their songmate, they both undergo a physical and physiological change that helps them better adapt to both environments, in order for them to produce healthy clutches with an environmental advantage to their birthplace.
Pretty normal for any usual Eridian.
The thing is, Grace is an unusual Eridian.

Sideswipe's Secret Vacation Spot by BalloonArcade

Tags
Summary
Jazz once started a rumor that Sunstreaker is so vain, cold-sparked, and self-involved that he turned on Megatron himself simply to gain access to the Autobot’s superior washracks.
That rumor spread as designed, like a wildfire through the Autobot ranks, to protect Sunstreaker and his twin, veiling their true origin from the Autobot rank and file in misdirection and need-to-know secrecy.
The truth is, the cascade of events leading to Sunstreaker’s betrayal of his deep connection to Megatron all started when Decepticon Sideswipe realized something: being an Autobot prisoner made for a fun and relaxing vacation opportunity.

Summary
Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.
It’s another Hail Mary.

Holy shit Grace! The human version of you is a homewrecker?! by Anonymous

Summary
"Why? What about you and the other version of me? I guess you guys are close buddies too, huh?" I smiled over the rim of my mug.
Ryland smiled. Or at least, I think he tried to. The expression twitched halfway through and he made a wincing face that disappeared as fast as he made it.
"We are," he said after a pause. "Close friends."
His eye twitched.
Uh oh.
watdatmean?
If I still had access to Twitter, I'd be posting a tweet right now that just said: #watdatmean with no absolute context or whatever.
Because Ryland suddenly sounded emotionally constipated, like he was hiding a massive and pointy shit inside his ass and desperately hoping nobody would notice. Which immediately made me notice.
