    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.

    “Grace ok, question?”

    “…no bud. I’m not.”

    “…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”

    Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.

    “Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”

    Or

    There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.

    Summary

    It probably says a lot about the state of absolute lunacy that is his life that when Grace unexpectedly jolts awake back on Earth thirty years in his past, his feelings on the matter can be summarised as

    Huh. Well I guess this might as well happen too?

    Summary

    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
    Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
    He's not the only one.

    OR: Time-Travel Fix-It AU but it's not just Grace who came back in time.

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace awakens far out in space with no memories of where he is, how he got there, or why he's there in the first place. It's not helped by the discovery of a red fox on the ship that seems to be just as lost as he is.

    --

    Project Hail Mary x His Dark Materials au basically. very strong on the au there, this thing is probably going to go a little crazy. Might change rating / warnings if the "action" parts get a bit much, but it's basically just going to be canon-typical stuff.
