Naomi Park expected graduate school to ruin her life. She didn't expect the apocalypse to get there first. As the world begins unraveling under the mysterious Astrophage crisis, Naomi finds herself working alongside Professor Ryland Grace: brilliant microbiologist, disaster academic, and the only person who seems capable of joking through the end of the world.

In the time before the Petrova Line dramatically altered his life, Ryland Grace was just a 7th-grade science teacher who lived alone. His life is centered around work and work only because he has nothing else to center it around. When he is able to get a job working at a college as a substitute math teacher, he encounters a college senior named Rose with whom he instantly connects--for better or for worse.

When Ryland Grace wakes aboard the Hail Mary, he expects isolation, confusion, and the impossible weight of saving humanity alone. What he doesn't expect is another survivor. Dr. Nova Voss-calm, sharp, and unshakably logical-wakes beside him with the instincts of a doctor and the composure he doesn't yet understand. As their memories slowly return and the reality of their mission unfolds, the two are forced to rely on each other in ways neither of them were prepared for. In the silence of space, where every decision could mean life or extinction, something unexpected begins to grow between them-quiet, fragile, and impossible to ignore. Because sometimes survival isn't just about saving the world. Sometimes it's about not facing it alone. This is a fanfic based off the book and movie The Hail Mary Project

Grace can't wake his crewmate from her coma. Rocky saves the day... and quite literally her life. 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, or for it to bring them together, as they complete it. 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, of course, notices. 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.

❝ "Is 'you can call me Alice.' Grace's mate?" Rocky asked. "No!" Alice blurted out before Grace could respond. "No rocky-" Grace began to say moments after Alice. "NEVER-" Alice exclaimed. "We're just- woah, never? That's a uh, a really strong uh, okay..." Grace stammered, processing just how vehemently she had opposed the idea. "Sorry-" Alice attempted to back track awkwardly. "No, no, it's fine. Totally fine. We're not mates, Rocky. Just shipmates, crew mates, not mate mates." Grace rambled out, keeping his eyes on Rocky. ❞ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 : ( april. 4th, 2026 ) 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 : ?

Dr. Ryland Grace is an eighth-grade science teacher - nothing more, nothing less. Well, a little bit more. Clara Jang is a design engineer who has spent her life chasing impossible problems - and solving them. When the Sun begins to die, the world turns to Project Hail Mary as its last hope. The stakes are impossible, the timeline is worse, and failure means extinction. Ryland and Clara are used to solving problems. They're just not used to facing the end of the world together. Or to how quickly "working together" starts to mean something more. | Project Hail Mary movie + a bit of the book | | includes smut |
