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 |

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.
