Summary
“What’s your name?”
Simon was startled for a moment, and pulled his gaze back to Grace. His eyes were soft—not to say they weren’t before, but something had changed.
“Simon.”
Grace smiled. “Nice to meet you, Simon.”Or; The Eridians find a weird submarine alone on a moon and take it back to their human expert.

Summary
Ryland Grace was Eva Stratt’s first choice for mission science specialist aboard the Hail Mary. He declined, and the astrophage explosion never happened, so Martin DuBois was sent to Tau Ceti. He died in a coma along with Yáo and Ilyukhina. Simon was born on Earth fourteen years after Ryland Grace. Instead of the COI, the latter half of his childhood was marred by the beginnings of the astrophage crisis.
Fourteen years after the launch of the Hail Mary, a beetle returns to Earth. Over a decade earlier than should have been physically possible. The telemetry reveals that all three members of the crew died. So who sent it back, and why? Grace and Simon work alongside a team of scientists to see if the Earth’s Hail Mary pass can still be salvaged.
(Absolutely no knowledge of Iron Lung or Arrival is needed to enjoy this fic - I just borrowed a character from each. This is an AU of Project Hail Mary in a universe I'm calling the "Penpal Verse," for reasons which should become apparent.)

Summary
Simon has a problem. If it’s left up to him, he’ll try to take it to his grave.
Grace isn’t able to try the same, not for this.——
Simon can’t tell if Grace actually glances down to his lips as he puts his glasses back on his nose or if it’s just his own wishful thinking, as it happened in the blink of an eye, if it happened at all. “I, uh, was wondering, only if, well, I-,” Grace quickly averts his gaze, shaking his head with a nervous laugh, “You know what, never-”
Still reeling too much from his debatably imagined glace, Simon reaches across Grace’s space, placing his hand down in the space between Grace’s thigh and his hand. “Use your words, Grace.” One of his brows twitch, not nearly as patient as Grace is. “I hate guessing games, so spit it out.”
The nervous grin never leaves Grace’s lips and the bulb above the stove highlights the way blood rushes to his cheeks.

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
Grace meets the first human he's seen in over a decade, not counting coma years.
Simon finds himself not dead on a strange planet with strange people and a weird blonde man trying to be his friend.
They both try and navigate their shared trauma of being patron saints of one way trips, and also trying to figure out how to talk to other human beings again. They're...not very good at it. But they're trying! And that's all that really matters.

Summary
Two universes.
Two unwilling saviors.
Two endings.
The same problem.
The stars are dying or already dead. There is nothing that anybody can do except do things that only those under horribly desperate situations can do. There is absolutely nothing that they can do to change the future that is already set in stone for them... Or is there?
Can watching movies about the experiences of the LEAST qualified people that end up saving them help change their future?
Probably not.

Summary
“Do you like it?”
Did Simon like it? Did he like having clean air and soil beneath his feet and fresh food and an entire room that was all his just to read to Eridian toddlers? He swallowed hard, blinking back tears, “Yeah. Yeah, I really like it.”

Summary
At first, there was nothing but static. For a few seconds, which might've been the longest seconds Grace had ever experienced, there was no comprehensible sound outside of the fuzzy feedback of an unstable connection. Grace furrowed his brow, trying desperately to make out something, anything at all.
Little by little, the signal cleared up enough to where he could just start to make out the sound of something...?
No.
Someone... Singing?
His heart rattled in his chest as the singing continued, suddenly keenly aware that he probably needed to say something. It'd been so, so long-
"Uh- Hello?"
Almost immediately, the singing stopped. Grace found himself missing it. Just a little bit. He stood with bated breath, hoping, praying that he hadn't scared the voice off. A clatter of something falling on the ground, heavy, clumsy thuds that sounded like heavy boots hitting metal, static...
Grace tried again. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
Then, clear as day,
'Hello...? Are.. who... who are you?'
(This story happens slightly before the events of Iron Lung, shortly after PHM)
