I wrote my very first fanfic! Project Hail Mary has possessed me and taken over my mind the way nothing else ever has.
This fic is for everyone who has wondered "How would Grace deal with remembering he refused to go on the mission? Would he stew in self-loathing and guilt while avoiding telling Rocky?"
My answer to this: absolutely. That man loves a lie of omission. It's his favorite.

Summary:
On the trip back to Erid Rocky is excited to spend quality time with their favorite human, but Grace is acting…strangely. They are unbearably quiet. The longer it goes on the more certain Rocky is that there is something very wrong.
“I trust you with my sad experiences. I tell you about crew deaths and how it make me feel. Rocky trust Grace. Now Grace trust Rocky.”
“What— what if I wasn’t a good person like you? What if I was actually a coward and a liar? Would you still trust me?”
