ryland grace:

love hypotheticals series:

(i) love hypotheticals. after stratt hires you on as a documentation specialist for project hail mary, you find yourself being more and more drawn to one dr. ryland grace.

(ii) odd reunions. you wake up late on the hail mary, and grace doesn't seem to remember anything about you—or, your relationship. you don't know how to break the news to him.

(iii) marriage talk. life on erid is good, aside from the occasionally nagging desire to get married.

miniature space opera series (ongoing):

miniature space opera (i) as ilyukhina's standby for project hail mary, your social life on the vat faces a lot of scrutiny. your interactions with grace seem to be her primary source of entertainment.

exhibit g. after re-acclimating to earth life for a whole year, grace comes to your museum on a random monday in the middle of april to view the "project hail mary" exhibit.

mayday. grace can't seem to get the hang of flying the hail mary—and you're definitely the problem

eridian logic! your heart-to-heart with rocky leads to a lot of unnecessary teasing targeted towards grace. you can't help it—he just makes it so easy

close quarters. physical contact on the hail mary is at a premium. you hold yourself a little too highly to ask grace for help.

holland march:

pine and scotch. you spend the night over at the march house after tasking yourself with babysitting. your feelings, holly's gossip, and holland's drinking are a worrying combination.

colt seavers:

quiet on set. on your fourth big blockbuster working together, you find yourself scolding hollywood’s favorite, tom ryder. to much success, it manages to capture colt’s attention.

jack abbot:

picking favorites. after taking the same shoddy bus from your apartment to the ptmc, you’re shocked to find your attending on the same line. you start commuting together.

benedict bridgerton:

good company. benedict bridgerton has a twofold plan: to resolve his brother's rake-like reputation and to delay your entry into the marriage mart. very quickly, you realize that the scheme is much less simple than it's made out to be.

johnny storm:

silk and storm. you're strung between two lives—freelance journalist and friendly neighborhood vigilante. one night saving johnny storm unintentionally leads to him pining over both versions of you.

steve harrington:

sucker for a good cliché. you and steve have to fake-date after an awkward dinner at the wheeler-byers household—all while you're sure that he still wants nancy.

growing pains, 1989. you take a drive down to philly to spend some long overdue quality time with your hometown friends; your unresolved issues with steve are just as interruptive as anticipated. gasoline. overnight in philly means that you and steve don't have much time alone (you both make do). (nsfw)

jud duplenticy:

only over you. you come to chimney rock for the winter season, not expecting to become acquainted with the new priest of our lady of perpetual grace (nsfw)

bosco leroy:

mostly chimes. in which reader has to work through some unresolved feelings towards bosco after landing in antwerp

this is going to sound crazy but i’m lowkey psychic. like this happens to me on a weekly basis so i’m kind of pleased that it’s happening in internet land too 💀 — if you can believe it, a very hyper-specific detail in the holland march fic im publishing soon ended up translating into something IRL for me two days after writing it.

no because as great as the relationship dynamic and balance between the three of you might be, it still comes down to the fact that colt and ryland’s interests and lifestyles are just so different. colt is an amusement park/hiking/bar boyfriend and ryland is a museum/stargazing/night-in boyfriend. which is great—but yeah it's impossible to satisfy both. i love the thought of them giving up and letting you pick because really they just want to make sure you have a good time (and there's also no use in arguing in circles about it).

if you look up like what he studies it’s basically astrobiology but he goes into obv the biology side of it I guess and other stuff but yeah

top schools generally for astrobiology in ca are like mostly ucsc id say? esp due to their astrobiology initiative program so yes!! and as for his PhD, it’s kinda frowned upon to do it where u did ur undergrad (I think? Also it’s even a bit worse if u did a lab and are trying to do ur PhD in that lab again) so it’s prob different? uc berkeley is a maybe esp bc it’s a top school and their research is rlly good for stem and also it could be why he stuck around in sf since id say it’s pretty close by

Yeah….. 🫪 chat is this like a lil too much

Lowk ignore this if it’s kinda weird mb 😔

me when it wasn't too much...

i started researching right after i posted the question what bay area schools offer molecular bio as a PhD program and ucsc and uc berkeley are liiiiterally the top 2. but i didn't know abt the astrobiology thing (that's craaaazy work.) uc berkeley is right across the bridge so i definitely see that happening?? also because i do see grace attending a uc on heavy scholarship — possibly a csu or city college to save money in undergrad ^

OMG IT’S YOU !!! winterwyrm i owe you my writing motivations...

i literally love receiving your comments over ao3 LOL. like no joke i'll post & be like "i wonder what winterwyrm will say this time" — anyway ILY ILY. thank you for supporting me #dayone ,, i will keep writing for you, friend

i was literally thinking today that i need to come back to mr. yearner-of-the-year seavers…

I LOVE YOUUUU. i love you.

don’t i’m giddy. because i can see exactly how this would go. colt is definitely bringing his hand over your knee first, when there’s a particularly loud action scene (it’s more instinctual than anything else) and over the course of the next hour, he’s inching his way up. once he’s got a comfortable grip on your thigh, he’s taking his thumb back and forth in a soothing, sweeping motion—something to do so he can focus better on the movie.

with ryland, you can tell he’s watching your expressions and reactions to the movie, noting when you’re flinching or frowning at the screen. after a while, he gets kind of mopey that he’s not able to console you. after a while, he’s tapping on your wrist—a silent ask if he can take your hand—and he keeps it for the rest of the movie resting on the armrest between you both.

he doesn't come off as the type that shoves it in your face that he climbs. he's not like a god at it but he's pretty decent at it since he has been doing it for while and his reasoning for it is that its a fun new hobby! it also helps him to be in shape and i think it's the type of activity that removes him out of his mind so he can just focus on the task in front of him and how to figure out how to climb the route. does he talk about how much he spends for a membership? no he'd rather not since he's on a teacher's salary but the climbing gym is not that far of a bike ride from his apartment and he goes pretty frequently so he thinks that its worth it.

also he doesn't feel like the type to like weight lifting AT all.

rock climber!ryland is true in my heart <3

don’t. don’t because that grad school!ryland who decides to pick up rock climbing one night because he realizes that he’s getting so worked up about his dissertation and needs to not do hunching over a keyboard all the time. and rock climbing comes up out of nowhere as the best solution to his phd writer’s block. and after he finishes school, unesco happens, and he goes back to school to get that teaching credential, he still sticks with it. and when he ends up in san francisco, there happens to be that local climbing gym that’s open late enough for him to grade papers and then go over to climb. he just loves it and the routine and the idea that he just has a singular goal to reach. definitely plays down how much he’s improved since he first started.
