    Summary

    Iron Lung crossover with Project Hail Mary because I discovered this and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I've never had such a strong urge to write fan-fiction. I've only watched these movies, but soon I'll be reading Project Hail Mary. My science may also be... bad, but I promise I'll try to make it as good as I can manage.
    This is set after Simon (The Convict) mutates and he survives (obviously because otherwise how would Simon and Grace meet). Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid after Grace goes to save Rocky from the Xenonite-adapted Taumoeba, and they enter a dead zone on their journey. No stars, no light, and uneasiness fills them as they realize that some stars had already been consumed. They detect a strange moon, static-y distress signals transmitting from a ship on this moon. They encounter a terrible scene upon connecting with the ship, and Grace finds something unexpected.

    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)

    Summary

    The last five years living on Erid had been some of the happiest of Simon's life. He felt safe, happy, fulfilled, and had people he felt genuinely cared for him. Simon was sure that his perfect life was about to crumble when Rocky returned with another human. Where all Simon has ever known on Erid is compassion, his experience with humanity had rarely been so kind

    Summary

    Simon, a disgraced biomedical engineer, spends his time as a hermit, shut up inside his apartment during the day. His ideas and willingness to take risks have labelled him a psychotic recluse, as did the accident that took half his arm, half his senses, and the life of his lab partner and best friend. Stripped of his title, his funding, and his general standing in the local community, he moved across the country to escape. He cannot outrun his past. He is not well.

    Enter Grace.

    Ryland is an esteemed molecular biologist, his genius and ingenuity known throughout the nation- and one or two other countries, but he doesn't like to brag. Despite his numerous diplomas and published papers, he chooses to spend his time surrounded by the chaos of a classroom, trying to keep children engaged in the science and life of the world around them. The distraction is a welcome one after witnessing the death of his twin brother in a tragic work accident. Teaching his students quickly became all that he had. Placed on leave and unable to teach, he now has nothing.

    The collision of their paths happens unceremoniously and spectaculary all at once in the midst of a musty gymnasium support group.

    Summary

    A man wakes up on a boat in a blood ocean. He has no idea who he is, how he got there, what language all these people are speaking. It doesn’t help that there’s something under the ocean— or maybe someone— that’s seemed to take a special interest in making his life miserable.
