going nuclear - Ria_Writes_Stuff - Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

based on this post by @scapgoatandsacrificallamb !!! Grace gets kidnapped and Stratt goes a little insane!!

"Sorry- Who do you think I am?" "You are Doctor Ryland Grace." "I mean yeah, but I'm just a scientist! I'm a middle school teacher! I am no one important! I do fun maths in a lab all day! I make spreadsheets! I get Stratt's coffee! I'm the coffee boy!" "Your conviction is almost convincing. Unfortunately for you, my intel is more precise than you hope. You are not Ryland Grace, 'coffee boy'. You are Ryland Grace, Chief Scientist, Head Astrophage Handler, and second in command of Project Hail Mary. We'll film your ransom in a moment, I trust you're intelligent enough to cooperate." Grace stared at her. Stared at the floor. Back at her. He was fucking WHAT? OR Grace gets kidnapped by a terrorist cult, Stratt goes on a very polite rampage, several world leaders are harrassed, two bedrooms are forcefully entered, ilyukhina's vodka is commandeered and Grace finally gets a hug (feat. the Vat being a family, Vattling shenanigans, Stratt's wardrobe choices and Grace having self esteem issues)

One of Ryland Grace's students comes out to him as non-binary, dumps a bunch of pins across his desk, and catalyses a very slight mental spiral into 'there's a word for how I feel?' Featuring: aroace ryland grace propaganda, a lot of introspection, Grace figuring himself out a little, some great teaching, an awesome student, and twenty six brower tabs open at once (tame, for a scientist)

Grace meets an old friend for dinner An email exchange occurs Eva Stratt is the worlds sneakiest little shit and she KNOWS IT

this chapter was very fun to write, i had a lot of fun with the emails (even if formatting is eating my FACE) and i giggled and kicked my legs the entire time they're just so weird about each other, i think they should be weirder personally

hellohello!!! welcome to my post for the unofficial harringrove week, run by @rigginsstreet on tumblr. I chose to post an unfinished WIP - this was started a year ago for the 100 minutes challenge which I promptly had to drop out of three sentences in, but the idea has been rolling round my head ever since

Three emails are sent. Lunch is arranged. Boundaries are steamrolled, and Grace doesn't mind as much as he should.

Ryland Grace finds himself in England. An unlikely coincidence occurs.
