    Summary

    Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.

    The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”

    He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”

    “Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”

    (Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

    Summary

    The work of the Petrova Taskforce is typically kept behind closed doors, everyone needs clearance and it's all top secret, especially Project Hail Mary. Unfortunately, the world already knows about the dimming sun, and if they have any chance of fixing the planet, they need to maintain morale. Give people hope.
    Unfortunately, the Taskforce is filled with a wealth of great minds more suited to technical reports than public information releases.
    Enter Dr Ryland Grace, middle school teacher.
    .
    Aka, Grace is the only person with a background in science communication in the project, and his workload quickly doubles.

    Summary

    I look between the unmoving alien on the floor next to me, and the tiny one on my desk. I swear the lights even flicker as the situation clicks.

    My mouth is dry as I force it to form words. "....Rocky?"

    --

    or, Grace finds out that Eridians periodically experience a little problem. Literally.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    “Dr. Talis,” Viktor sighs, “I have to admit I’m an admirer of your work. Not many doctors are willing to ask such existential questions in their research.”

    Jayce’s jaw falls open just slightly at the realization that Viktor is clearly very familiar with his past. A past that Jayce has gone through great lengths to conceal from his current employers at Piltover Med.

    Or simply, Jayce is a research fellow with a big secret, and Viktor is a first-year resident determined to find out what his colleague is hiding.

    Written for the Jayvik Remix Project, inspired by the combination of Academy Viktor and Necromancy Jayce.

    Summary

    How old was he, even? He’d been thirty-five when he left Earth — would that make him seventy-five, or forty-six, or forty-two once he returned?

    Grace is returning to Earth, but what will that mean for him?

    Summary

    Several years after choosing to live the rest of his life out with Rocky and Adrian, Ryland Grace's body is quietly failing under the brutal 2.12G gravity of Erid. Desperate to bridge the physical divide before Grace's time runs out, Rocky and Adrian misinterpret an old digital file of Avatar as a historical fact and secretly engineer life-like flesh and blood human "vessels" for themselves, but the sensory overload of piloting a human body changes everything Rocky understands about humans.

    And how he sees Grace.

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    Simon thought he'd died. He remembered releasing that stupid black box, he remembered the blood and pain, he remembered Ellie's teeth cracking down on SM-13.

    Then he woke up, floating in that hateful submarine, in a pool of blood. Intact. Had that all been some terrible nightmare? Had he failed and was now doomed to die slowly in a portion of the ocean of blood?

    Then the speaker that shouldn't be working cracked to life.

    "Hello?"

    --

    Grace was content with how his life was going. Sure, he was light years away from Earth and all the other humans. But he was alive, he had a best friend and a whole planet that cared for his happiness and well-being. He got to teach once more and had a beautiful view that was created just for him.

    But he was lonely. He had Rocky and the other Eridians of course, but he could really do with a cat or something to cuddle and love. Not that anything like that was going to happen -

    Wait, why was the ocean bubbling? Was that a voice? Light? What was happening?!

    Summary

    A hatred fills the lungs of man who built his life from nothing. This hatred fuels every precise calculation and placement of coinage. Longing for a concept he constructed, “fair exchange,” he has taken steps to execute it, although a mortal man is powerless against the gaze of the gods.

    Until a man who spent endless hours in a laboratory offers him a chance to equal the playing field between himself and Celestia. Either he places his life amidst the hands of a mad scientist or he passes away like ashes, without having made an imprint on the independence of mortals.

    Summary

    Batman slipped his punched ticket into his utility belt, switching between night and heat vision to detect any sign of life between piles of rotting stuffed animals, trash and creaking carnival rides. Even the most innocuous of objects could be a death trap- but knowing Joker, he’d do it all with a garish flare...

    Batman had to face the Joker alone. One last time.

    Summary

    Intern had one goal, finish their Internship and be hired as official staff. They are fully aware the place is a death trap, but the hospital provided a pre-paid apartment, a decent meal plan, and a future.

    Intern didn't care about the future just current survival.

    If they survived, good, if they died so be it.

    They'd been doing fine so far, now if only the others kept in tune with their script.

    Or, Intern is a sociopath, and quite a skilled one, but sometimes it's not enough.

    Summary

    Sometimes things show up where they definitely aren't supposed to be— your glasses on the floor after a particularly long night of grading tests, your keys on the top of your car instead of the hook by the door, a radio signal from outer space, leading to a tiny submarine with an even tinier scared man in it— hey, wait, what was that last one?

    Basically, Ryland is having one hell of a long day.
