The red string of fate, but the red string is the Petrova Line... ✩ ✩ ✩ Dr Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher. A smart man who enjoys sharing knowledge to the next generation of potential scientists. After finding his PhD paper, he gets called to help with a top secret government project to unearth the secrets of the Petrova line in order to attempt to save the Sun from dimming. Y/n L/n is an astrological artist. Renowned throughout the astrological communities for her accomplishments in science and the arts, with paintings being on display in science museums across America. Roped into Project Hail Mary to draw the scientists' findings throughout the project, she finds joy in creating art of something that'll save the world. ✩ ✩ ✩ When the original plan for the Hail Mary mission goes terribly wrong, the leader of the operation, Eva Stratt, has no choice but to send the next best people up into space on this one way trip to save the Earth. Of course they need a scientist up on the space craft, someone to analyse and make understanding of the crisis at hand. She also wants more than video logs and photographs of what goes on on the Hail Mary, sketch logs and detailed observations are highly valued when dealing with new scientific discoveries and materials. Given no choice, Dr Ryland Grace and Y/n L/n are forced upon the spacecraft with one mission: Save the Sun and save humanity. ✩ ✩ ✩ "Grace Rocky Y/n save stars."

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.

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." Dr. Ryland Grace x OC - mainly based on the movie with bits from the book (events and flashback order may not be exact)

Ryland Grace, A science teacher, wakes up alone on a spaceship. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing Earth's sun... But is he alone?

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 |
