When Grace wakes up on the Hail Mary, he tries everything he can to wake the only surviving crewmate from her coma. Nothing works until he meets Rocky. Grace and Finch find themselves on the Hail Mary without their memories, but with one common goal: save the stars. Neither of them expect to find a home in Rocky, nor for their bond with him to bring them closer. As they learn more about themselves, their mission, and how they lost their memories, they quickly realize that neither of them are equipped to deal with the growing comfort they find in each other. Rocky decides he's done watching them dance around it and takes matters into his own very exasperated hands. A Project Hail Mary fanfiction that takes place after Grace meets Rocky. This story is mostly canon compliant with a few minor deviations explained through flashbacks on Earth.

The sun is dying. The mission is a suicide run. There's an alien made of rock and jazz. And Dr. Ryland Grace has just realized the only other man on board is hot...and British.

KAIROS (Greek): a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action; the opportune and decisive moment. ~ "I just wanted to do something truly great with my life. This seemed like a pretty extraordinary way to go." "You were already extraordinary."

You've been selected as a specialist researcher for Project Hail Mary, knowing not of Stratt's future plans for you. Just the start of a PHM fan fic!! Feel free to give me tips and stuff because I want this to be a decent fic :)

Ryland Grace survived Project Hail Mary and somehow that was only the beginning of his story. Five years after Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace has built a quiet life on Erid spending time with Rocky, Adrian and his students. Then a ship crashes onto the planet carrying a human-like alien explorer with secrets of her own. As Ryland is pulled back toward Earth, buried truths about the Hail Mary mission begin to surface and the connection growing between him and Senita may cost them both everything.
