[ID: A digital painting of a scene from Project Hail Mary; Grace appears to sit on a beach, and his head is turned away from the viewer to look at a figure walking down the shore. The figure is hard to make out but is Grace from the end of the movie in the Eridian biodome. End ID]

Random Au idea; Miraculously, the Blip-A crew survive, but at the cost of their travel time, making it so they arrive at Tau Ceti around the same time as the Hail Mary. (Don't think too hard about it)
Grace now gets regularly hassled by many Eridians, all of whom can hold multiple conversations at once, unlike him.
Naturally, opinions about the local wet organful thang Tau Ceti dragged in are varied
next | full tag
A soulsong, a bond in Eridian cultures that tangles together lives and experiences. A person to always watch you sleep.
He's literally doing this:
concept: no astrophage au where eridians and humans still make first contact but like, properly. a whole diplomatic mission meeting in the middle of space to save travel time. stratt is humanity's greatest representation. the eridian equivalent is equally as scary and secretly soft. it's all very star trek.
but rocky and grace put the whole diplomacy thing in jeopardy by being too best buddy with it. like they're both really low level members of the mission. some engineer necessary for ship maintenance, and an obligatory molecular biologist they brought along in case they found more alien cells out in space. and these two guys like, somehow keep ending up hanging out essentially "at the back of the classroom." consistently left out of the actually important negotiations, and well, they're bored!
grace steals some laptops and starts jury-rigging his own personal translator for rocky, despite the fact that the official translation software is way quicker to learn and much more nuanced. rocky starts learning english, simplifies his eridian, and immediately starts mocking grace for needing the software. they start blabbing to each other about all the weird quirks of their respective cultures and advanced science their planets can do. the whole time they are ribbing each other about culture stuff. grace eats in front of rocky. rocky forces grace to sleep in a corridor somewhere so he can keep watch.
then stratt and the eridian leader find out and it's like
stratt: you. you've been meeting in private with a member of the eridian deligation?
grace: ... yyyes.
stratt: and you shared with them classified scientific documents?
grace: i... maybe gave him. a laptop. he's so smart! what was i supposed to do?
stratt: HIM? you've assigned male pronouns to a genderless species?
grace: he said he likes to match!
stratt: do you even know the name of this eridian?!
grace: i call him rocky :)
stratt: 😰
then on rocky's side of things it's like
eridian leader: sorry did you say you called the human after one of its digestive noises?
rocky: yeah :)
eridian leader: and. you've been telling it about how to make xenonite. one of our most vital trading resources.
rocky: yes yes, grace is very ignorant about basic chemistry 🙄
eridian leader: right. and you watch it sleep. despite the fact that all the human beings we have spoken to have described this as a cultural violation?
rocky: well he didn't like it at first but he came around!!
anyway both sides of the delegation are sweating profusely (metaphorically speaking) until they see rocky and grace in action and are like ohh! they're both freaks. we are not to blame for this. these two are just really bad at navigating cultural norms.
cut to grace curled up with rocky while he sleeps like a baby.

even more phm + textposts with stratt (and grace)
part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6! of phm eva stratt textposts
how was what stratt did impractical?
Jettisoning your #1 astrophage guy off the planet instead of retaining him to keep working on other potential solutions was not a very practical course of action. Definition of putting all your eggs in one basket. Obviously she did this because she truly believed this was their best shot by far, but that doesn't change it being a manoeuvre that could have easily screwed things over.
On top of that, having to go so far as to erase his memories was ALSO very impractical. Him waking up disoriented, alone, with no idea where he was or who he was or how important what he was doing was by all rights should have lead to mission failure. At that point it really would have been a toss up whether it was smarter to just send another scientist who, while not as well-trained, was willing to go.
I've even seen a fan theory that messing with the coma bot to administer the amnesia drug might have been what lead to Yao and Ilyukhina's deaths, but that obviously is mere speculation; however, it's worth considering that they did in fact have to fuck around with a piece of equipment vital to the mission, possibly last minute, which does introduce another frightening risk regardless of whether it actually did anything.
Because it's a book and that's what the narrative is about it all works out, but that doesn't change the fact that what Stratt did was essentially going all in on a massive gamble.
Saw this twitter post and instantly started looking for pictures of Stratt to use it with
Lovey Dovey

grace who thinks adrian hates him but adrian is just suffering from the worst case of cuteness aggression ever to exist.
grace : rocky…… do you think adrian hates me…?
rocky, who had to listen to adrians squealing before and after everytime they get to visit grace : no definitely not
In retrospect, it's hilarious that Stratt made everybody on the vat speak English in deference to Grace being monolingual
Because with how quickly Grace was able to pick up Eridian, even with literally NOTHING about it being familiar the way a human language would be, they probably could have chosen Mandarin as the universal language on Stratt's Vat and he would have just. Learned it.
book grace: rocky would you still love me if i were a worm
movie rocky: would grace still love rocky if rocky were a taumoeba
Petrova line
k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace “hunt” him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isn’t trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes
only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isn’t which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like “got youuu” and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life
