Summary
Two-body problem: A problem of classical mechanics to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space.
“Adrian, just a small warning: the Rocky that came back might not be the Rocky you know. It’s classified, but my friend is one of the comms specialist on the space elevator. They told me things. He acts… weird. He doesn’t sleep, and neglects the medical and psychological exams. I’m not sure he’s here, if you know what I mean."
“Where is he, then?” Adrian’s musical notes come out discordant.
“Wherever his human companion is stuck. If the alien dies, Rocky might never come down from the stars.”Or; twenty-three friends leave for the most dangerous mission known to Erid, two strangers return.

Summary
Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.
As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?Series

Summary
“Who are you?”
“The kid who wanted to live.”After the events in Cairo, Marc struggles to ease into the peace and quiet that comes with their freedom. Steven does everything in his power to help—they go to therapy, attend evening classes, all the while looking for a job and trying to reconnect with Layla—but it seems fruitless as Marc catches sight of a vigilante on the loose in London, firmly believing they are up against Khonshu’s next Avatar. They decide to investigate further, and in the blink of an eye they find themselves in an auction held in Paris, trying to obtain an ankh cross. The relic seems to be much more than the symbol of life—it is also the bringer of demons of the Egyptian underworld and of the past that should’ve stayed buried.

"Ki i te tau e tangi atu nei" by spektrewrites (BadForTheHeart)
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
21 Jun 2026
Summary
The last leg of their journey to Erid is filled with despair; Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky' own trauma flares up drastically. Prolonged space travel with only an alien for company changes a person, maybe even beyond recognition. The one returning home might not be the one you knew before it all began. How do you bring someone home who got lost among the stars?
Stories about love, desperation, codependency, trauma and hope. About people you'd die for. And people you'd live for. And most of all, about people you love to the point of invention.

To Seek the Path Unknown by Anonymous

Summary
Grace understands, then, the fear and the forced indifference as protection; what it must look like to have someone leave and you think them dead, just to come back with an object that asks you to birth a hurting mystery of your own; of who you are to the resurrected, the changed—of temporality and the truth in that.
The guilt rolls off of him in near-tangible waves—he hopes that Adrian can see them, somehow, as he follows closely behind.
Rocky starts calling Grace by a mysterious new name; Grace goes to Adrian to figure out the enigma.

Summary
"My 100th earth birthday—my age if I’d never experienced time dilation—is coming up in a few months and Rocky is very excited about it. It’s touching how special he wants to make this human milestone for me and I wish I could be excited with him. Instead, I’m sitting with the knowledge that this is probably my last birthday…and I have no idea how to tell Rocky."
Grace and Rocky discuss Grace's mortality as his 100th earth birthday approaches.
