someday soon myself by Spades (bumblingbees)
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
28 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
I can’t go home yet; I don’t want to face Adrian’s gentle comfort; I don’t deserve it. I can’t do anything useful anymore. I did my job and saved the planet, and I guess that’s it. No more engineering for Rocky. Maybe I’ll pick up something else, a new career to fill my time if no one will utilize my painstakingly crafted talents in the engineering world anymore. No, I can’t even pretend. I love engineering, I love making things, working on things, making things better. I need a project to fill up my thoughts until nothing else fits. Why won’t they give me one?
Grace would give me one. He loves my inventions, praises me more than I can stand to hear. He wants my work still, right? I’m already halfway to the dome before I even realize it. It’s late for Grace, he might not even be awake, but I need to meet him. I need him.
or Grace settles into Erid life pretty easily. Rocky struggles to do the same.

From Farm To ♪♩♫♫: A comprehensive guide to growing and cooking your own food on an inhospitable planet by Spades (bumblingbees)

Summary
There are only two little issues to ensuring my livelihood.
Vitamins and food. Fine, not so little. Big big big issues. Vitamins are going to be a major struggle. Humans are built to get most of their vitamins from food, of which I’ve already run out, aside from a few half-rations saved for really hard days. I’ve already separated a large sample of coma slurry to give over when we get to Erid. Hopefully, having samples of all my vitamins will help them figure out what to synthesize rather than just going from scratch.
Food is going to be even trickier.
But I have a plan. A foolhardy one, likely, but a plan nonetheless. I am going to start a farm. Yeah, that’s right. Have I literally ever lived in a house with its own yard my entire life? No. Have I ever grown anything bigger than the lima beans in wet paper towels as a class experiment? No! Do I have any of the things I need to even start a farm, most importantly, the seeds? No!
Well, maybe. Okay, here’s the rundown.
or Grace has lofty dreams to start a farm on Erid. We'll see how it goes.

Summary
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

Summary
“Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.
“Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.
Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”
“You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.
or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

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
I pour myself orange juice and fill the rest of my plate. Eggs, bacon, a couple of slices of tomato I smother with salt and pepper, and the biscuits and gravy take center stage. Normally, I save the best things for last, but my stomach pangs and I’m about ready to drool just from the smell of the gravy alone. I need to taste it first.
It’s incredible . I want—
“Your face is leaking again. Food hurt you, question?”
I blink, and Rocky unblurs as the tears drip out.
or Grace finds the Day 1-9 first meal tubes of the other crew members a year into the trip to Erid and accidentally unlocks some difficult memories.

Summary
“Good to see you,” I offer up when anything better eludes me, but Hatch doesn’t seem bothered at all. He’s not even looking at me. I follow his eyes, and it turns out it’s Stratt he’s eyeing up. Maybe he’s got something overdue to give her, too. “Better watch out,” I grin. “Stratt’s on a secret warpath tonight. Anyone holding out on her’s about to get mowed down in front of everyone.”
“She can mow me down anytime,” Hatch says with a little sigh, and did I hear that right?
or Grace gets roped into being Steve Hatch's wingman. He does as terrible a job as you'd expect.

Summary
I need to get it together. I’ve got a long trip ahead of me, and I can’t spend half of it mourning the only true friend I’ve had in years. Or can I? It’s been enough time, right? My body heads to the control panel without a moment to spare; it’s time for my daily ritual. I’ve only got so many Rocky checks left before he’s truly gone. There. He’s still there. Fainter every day, but even seeing the light makes me feel a little warmer.
Or a slightly longer look at Grace's time alone as he returns to Earth. To no one's surprise, he spends most of it missing Rocky.

Summary
“Got it, no problem, I’ll dial it back. Gotta say, though, Fizz didn’t seem bothered by me being all up in his biz. Gave me this key and all, right?” Blitzø spins his key ring around a finger, expression surprisingly unreadable as he meets Ozzie’s eyes. “So is this a Fizz problem, or a you problem?”
Ozzie’s jaw feels tight. “It’s a you problem. As in you are eating up my husband’s time. Don’t you have other friends? Those little imps that sang at the club? Stolas?”
or Blitzø is back in Fizz's life in a big way. Ozzie isn't ready to learn how to share.

Summary
Dimitri cuts his eyes at me. “You see list, you know next best option. You really want to put lives in her hands? She doesn’t even have masters! Might as well send me up.” My mouth snaps open, but he knows exactly what I was about to say. “Don’t have gene. But if I did, I would go.”
“Easy for you to say now,” The words burn in the back of my throat and come out harsher than I planned for. “You’re not the one actually being guilted into killing himself.”
The look he gives me is pitying at best. “Die here, die there. What difference does it make?”
or Grace goes to Dimitri to talk about his decision. It doesn't go how he'd hoped.

Summary
There’s a pile of mail on one side, tidy and unopened. A few boxes, gift bags. Fan stuff, it clicks after a moment, and then Blitzø looks at the box on the chair itself. Rich-looking velvet, half-open. A box of chocolates, a few slots empty. It takes him a minute to piece it together before he looks back at Fizz with judgment. “Don’t tell me you ate something one of your freaks sent you!”
“Shut up! If I wanted to get yelled at, I would’ve called Ozzie!” Fizz groans, kicking his feet a little in a tantrum. “I called you! I want you!”
Or Fizz calls up Blitz for a little help. He gets more than expected.

Summary
“Cheater! Gimme my legs back!”
“I said no time for games, Fizz, but I’ll teach you a lesson if you really need it, and I’m startin’ to think you do.”
The imp betrays himself; the way he bites his lip as he smiles is all Ozzie needs to see to know this is exactly what Fizz had been aiming for from the start. The little brat was looking to get himself in trouble. Ozzie feels the heat rumble through him, amusement and arousal bubbling up through him until his mane licks into flames for a moment. Never a dull day with Fizz, if the baby wants a lesson, he’ll get one. It just might not end the way he wants.
Or Fizz causes a fuss, Ozzie makes him pay for it.

Summary
Blitzø sighs, eyes trailing down to that serene mimic of Fizz’s face. He could turn it on, tell the bot to act how he wants. Make it cry, make it hurt. It’d be all a play for him, though, and that’s not what he wants.
He hates this fucking thing. Hates how wrong it is, how far removed it is from its inspiration. This isn’t Fizzarolli, this isn’t anything. Blitzø hates it, and even more than that, he hates himself for staying with it. Hates that his dick is already half-hard again just from looking at this pile of scrap metal and fake flesh, hates that he wants nothing more than to stick himself back in and cry into its fucking chest.

Summary
Ozzie thrums with excitement over the idea. It’s a racy little restaurant, a popular sex club runs on the ground floor, and the floor above holds the restaurant. Each table is in its own room, with one large glass wall facing out to the club below, and a thick glass floor. Patrons are welcome to watch the festivities as they eat, and even more welcome to join them.
“You sure you’re down for it, baby? Might end up with lots on display.”
Fizz laughs off the idea. “Nothing they couldn’t find with a five-minute deep dive on Voogle anyways. No phones allowed in there either. We can give them a free show, and they’ve got nothing to prove it with. Don’t you wanna show me off?”

Summary
Asmodeus smiles as Fizz sets one of his hands in the Sin’s, pulling it to his beak and pressing a kiss to it before he slides his hand up, fingers nestling into the back of Fizz’s neck as he pulls the imp down into a kiss. His tongue slides in, his body twisting to face Fizz better, free hand pressing into the softness of Fizz’s stomach, fingers gliding over the raised lines of newly forming stretch marks like he’s trying to commit them to memory because he is. Every new mark, dimple, swell, Ozzie wants to know it all.

Summary
They sit on opposite sides. The soundproofing goes both ways, nothing coming in the closet doors aside from thin slivers of light from each slat, basking them in just enough to see. Jax grins at Pomni. “So… was that more cartoon logic at work? You tried to pick me?”
“Yeah, actually,” Pomni admits, unable to hold back a smile at the way Jax’s expression falters, not expecting her to admit it. “Seemed like a good place to talk.”
His shock seeps away into annoyance, rolling his eyes. “Boring. I’ve got nothing to talk about with you.”
“I think you do.”
or tonight's adventure is a classic slumber party and Pomni tries to use them to get Jax to open up. It doesn't go well.

Summary
“Come on, Ribbit, I— I miss you. Lemme in, we can play whatever you want. I’ll do anything, promise.”
Silence. Jax sighs, hands pressing to the door as he starts to push himself back to his feet, when it opens wide and he goes tumbling backwards with a yelp. He smacks the back of his head on the floor, hissing as he rolls a bit in pain before pausing when he realizes what’s just happened and looks up.
Ribbit is standing over him. The frog looks tired, a weary smile on his face as he watches Jax. “You’ll do anything, huh?” He lets out a little huff of laughter. “Sounding a little pathetic, is crybaby Jax back in town? Miss me that much?”
or a look at Jax and Ribbit's dynamic and how it might've shaped Jax permanently.

Summary
“That’s different,” Blitzø mumbles, eyes trailing down Fizz’s form, and suddenly he forgets how to speak because wow, this is a Fizz he’s never gotten to see before. This is a special treat, a sort of Fizz probably very few have had the privilege to see, and now Blitzø is one of them.
Fizzarolli is in an oversized tee, the neck stretched enough to slide off one shoulder. The shirt must be old, fabric so thin he can see the clown’s silhouette easily, and even worse, the rise of one perky nipple peeking through with what Blitzø can only guess is a barbell piercing. Why the fuck did he think he could get through tonight without taping his dick down to his fucking thigh?
or Blitzø attempts to play it cool during his first adult sleepover with Fizz. Fizz has other plans in mind.

Summary
“Getting a little clumsy, Fizzie,” Blitzo teases, his fingers brushing a bit of bare skin as he balances Fizz back on his feet, and the little clown’s body feels electric with how much he tingles. “You okay?”
“Never better,” Fizzarolli bites out, locking eyes with Blitzo for only a moment before he turns back to the ball and hops back up. How has he never noticed this before? Blitzo is hot. He peeks back over, throat going tight as he watches the other teen bend down to get the balls again, his tank top riding up and showing off a strip of skin. Fizz wonders how warm it is, how sticky with sweat, how sensitive—
He falls off the ball again.
or after Blitzo saves Fizz from a nasty fall, he can't stop noticing how much he liked it in Blitzo's arms. He makes some bad choices to get back in them.

Summary
“Fuck, Fizz,” is his intelligent retort. That claw on his hip smooths out into a palm, an open-handed squeeze over muscle, and they’re sighing together. It’s tiny and cool, lacking long, beautiful talons, and Blitzø can’t stop comparing the two. He can see it in the mirror when he looks back, and both of their shoulders go lax. He’s fucking up.
It’s hard not to when Stolas feels so cold lately. So foreign. Long gone was the soft lilt of his voice sing-songing his name affectionately. Getting his hands on Blitzø felt less like a priority and more like going through the motions. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t miss the attention, and Fizzarolli makes it so easy to feed on.
or Living with Stolas is getting tense. Luckily, Blitz has Fizzarolli to give him what he needs, and remind him what he really deserves.
