    Summary

    John and Arthur both adore their dinners with Faroe, a chance to get to know the young women they're lucky to call their daughter. But John isn't truly present, not really. Faroe doesn't know him, she can't speak to him directly, he can't engage in what she's saying.

    This time she showed them an experiment she learned at uni. And since it only requires a hand and two eyes, John could for once participate.

    Summary

    In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?

    I focus on Grace for a split moment.

    Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.

    Or so Rocky thought.

    (5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!

    This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

    La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    Grace cuts his hand really bad on one of those xenonite panels he's putting up when Rocky moves in. He gets woozy at the sight of his own blood, so getting him to Armando for help is a struggle. Rocky deals with fear and guilt as he tries to basically get a limp toddler into a minivan without being able to touch him. It's cute and fluffy and angsty.
