Summary
Martin pops it in the recorder, puts his headphones on, and presses play.
“Statement of Jonathan Sims,” the recorder plays into his ear, hissed and cracking. Jon sounds so tired. “Regarding a childhood encounter with a book previously possessed by Jurgen Leitner.”
Martin goes still.

Summary
He knows that he's a he. But, well, he’s having trouble thinking of a name, because, it needs to be right, she needs to like it, because he’s basically throwing away the name that she wanted for him, isn’t he, so she’s probably going to be upset, and maybe if he picks the right name, then she won’t be upset.
So he needs to pick the right name.

Summary
Jon squints up at the block of apartments. The sky behind it is dark grey, threatening rain. Some of the windows are lit, and some of them aren’t. Tim lives in Flat 15, according to his employee records, so pretty high up.
-
There’s a cat staring out of a ground-floor window. Looking straight at him. It looks just like the Admiral, ginger and fluffy. It meows, silent, and puts one of it’s paws up onto the glass.
Jon smiles at it, thin and thready. “Hello,” he says, though there’s no way the cat can hear him over the storm.
-
“Seatbelt,” Basira says. Jon reaches up, pulls the belt across his chest, clicks it into place. Safe and sound. Basira turns the key, and the headlights light up. It’s raining, a low patter against the roof of the car as they pull away.
-
Jon’s not sure what the proper procedure is, when waiting for your coworker to blind herself. Outside, beyond the reinforced glass doors, rain hammers into the pavement.
-Jon tightens his grip on Martin’s hand. It’s soft, a little damp, the fingers slightly curled inward. “Not much further,” he says.
-----
Five unrecorded moments. It's always raining somewhere.

Astronomical Amounts (Of Painkillers) by Anonymous
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
"Grace light-sensing organs still covered. Grace in pain, question?"
Grace is always in pain. The painkillers help manage it. But he's at a point where increasing the dose would most likely do more damage than good, and still, the pain is there. It always is. He's pretty sure Rocky knows it, too, even if he tries not to let it show too much.
"A little."
"No lie, please."
Right. The little bugger would know. Of course he would. They've spent literal years getting more and more codependent, it would be weird if he didn't.
"Grace in pain, statement," he confirms. In an attempt to be truthful, but not worry Rocky too much, he adds, "My head mostly. Little bit of muscle pain, too." Pause. Inhale, exhale. Continue. "And the formication and burning in my hands again."
"Ah. The small insects."
Or another Grace Suffers Due To Malnutrition fic. this week somewhat focused on different neurological effects

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

Summary
The day every American teacher dreads comes for Ryland Grace. Marissa is his best friend, of course she's going to take care of him. Unfortunately for both her and Eva Stratt, that means she's there when he's 'recruited' into the Petrova taskforce. Ryland Grace, who is worried about the mental wellbeing of his students and who reacts to medical care about as well as a feral cat being trapped for a visit to the vet, has his own issues, but at least there's a cool lab in it for him. Carl is just along for the ride (and his share of Dr. Grace's skittles).
