One project hail mary character dynamic from the book that I love is Grace moping around like ough I'm just Stratt's little lapdog, her pet scientist that she drags around everywhere, this sucks so bad
Meanwhile everyone else is apparently like waow. There he goes. Mr. Number Two of the hail mary project. Stratt's right hand man. And also her lover.
Listen you're the only person on the Internet equipped to answer this question. If Ryland Grace is the Jesus figure who died for humanity's absolution, what does that make Eva Stratt? Like allegorically, is she Judas because she betrayed him? Is she Pontius Pilate who put him to death? Somebody else? Multiple people?
Oh ! Uhm I might come back to this when im less sleepy. This doesn't really answer your question but she's always been like Eve to me (eve, eva, haha) gives Adam the fruit that dooms them both, punished with the pain of labor
╰₊✧ that time when eva’s personal life and professional life grew dangerously close when she answered the phone while fucking you┊2k words
contains: smut!! dom eva & sub reader┊established relationship (married), strap-ons, slight exhibitionism (with olesya), slight angst
➤ author’s note: happy pride month!! you guys should send me your eva and olesya requests because god knows i should be giving them more attention
everyone who has ever had the pleasure of meeting her knows how eva is an extremely diligent and hard worker, a quality that she’s possessed ever since she was working part-time as a teenager, to now, where she was the madam director who was overseeing the most important project in history to save humanity. she always takes her job very seriously, even if it’s only the little tasks, and she would easily win an olympic gold medal if it were a sport. it’s one of her most famous qualities, along with her unwavering professionalism, and it’s something that everyone admires about her, although they are all slightly baffled at how she always makes it seem so effortless. even after putting her all into her work for hours on end, she never seems to break a sweat or grow exhausted, making some wonder if she’s secretly a robot or if she’s just that good. either way, her confidence and ability to get things done with a snap of her fingers assure everyone that their mission will succeed, putting all of their trust in her and her decisions.
still, despite having the world on their shoulders and working around the clock regardless of where the sun is positioned, she always makes the effort to arrive home in time for dinner and some quality time with her beloved wife. considering the gravity of their situation, most people refuse to leave until they have finished or figured out whatever it was they were working on, but no one is bitter towards eva for leaving at a reasonable time, especially considering that she always arrives as the ass crack of dawn and is in the most stressful position of them all. besides, if anything important happens, then they could easily send a call or a text, and she’ll return like lightning even if it were past midnight.
and every evening, she thanks the universe for giving her such a wonderful and understanding partner. she can’t imagine how difficult it must be for you to be so alone while she’s out working with the fate of the world in her hands, having no one to keep you company aside from your pet cats and occasionally going out with other loved ones to keep the loneliness at bay for months on end. despite the gravity of the situation, most would start feeling frustrated about only being able to see their spouse for maybe two hours of the day if they are lucky before going to bed together, always waking up to find their side of the bed cold and empty, and yet, you have never complained nor commented on it even once. all you do is smile when she comes home, embracing her with a kiss, and enjoying her company while it lasts. it’s true that having your darling wife away from you for so long is difficult, but the fact that she stepped up and accepted such an important role only reminded you of how wonderful and brave she is, and it only makes you remember how you grew to love her in the first place and how, not matter how difficult, you wouldn’t want to have anyone other than her by your side.
it seems that tonight was a special occasion since she returned home a couple of hours earlier than she usually does, allowing you both the time to cuddle up in bed before a simple kiss turned into something more heated. you were a little worried about taking up time she could be using to get extra sleep, because god knows she needs it, but it’s also been so long since the two of you have been intimate that you couldn’t stop yourself from rubbing up against her.
truth be told, your longing to be close to her has been making you feel extra needy, making do with your own fingers or the vibrator you bought her as a gag gift, and eva could tell by the way you were gripping onto her sleeves to pull her closer. still, she didn’t make a comment on it to avoid making you feel too embarrassed to continue. after all, she was starting to feel the heat as well, especially when her fingers trailed down to slip past your underwear, pleasantly surprised to see how soaked you were already.
she’s been missing this just as much as you have, you can tell by the way she kisses you as if she will never have the chance to again, all sensual and tender while her digits begin pumping within you. the little squelching sounds coming from her actions sounded like music to her ears when all she’s been hearing all day were numbers, technical science terms, and the sound of machinery running, although it wasn’t nearly as angelic-sounding as your soft moans while you called out her name and pleaded for more. you’re so impatient, a trait that she would normally tut at you for, but she was willing to let it slide this time around for this special occasion.
before long, the pace had been picked up with eva’s hips snapping into yours, her black strap coated in your creamy arousal while your nails dug into her back. despite her age and her life-long focus on academics rather than any kind of physical training, she still manages to keep a consistent speed that makes your eyes roll back. the building pleasure forming in your abdomen had you gasping, making you realize that it’s really been that long since you last had an orgasm, unable to really get anything done without her help, and often giving up while feeling frustrated.
but then, just as you were about to receive that high that you’ve been waiting to feel for so long, you heard your wife’s phone starting to ring. you could feel yourself freeze at the sound, fully expecting eva to take a pause so that she could answer, but she did something you could have never expected. her eyes flickered over to read the name on the screen, and she looked irritated at first, understandably, but when she looked back at you, she impulsively answered the phone right then and there, putting the caller on speakerphone before putting a finger to her lips to indicate for you to be quiet.
maybe she wasn’t thinking straight, maybe she was just getting annoyed by the sound of her ringtone, but one thing is for certain: she was highly amused by the panicked look on your face as she answered. you didn’t quite understand everything they were talking about, as someone in a field other than rocket science, but it sounded a lot like olesya, and it seemed like she was telling her about how there’s been an important development made that would really help with their mission.
but it was nearly impossible for you to really listen when your lover is inches deep inside of you with the head of her strap massaging against your sweet spot, and she wouldn’t stop wiggling her hips as if she was trying to illicit a reaction out of you, like she enjoyed the sight of you squirming with your hand clasped over your mouth. it truly is out of character for her to be behaving like this, especially considering the fact that she was strict about keeping her personal life separate from her work life. when you once drove over to the facility to drop off her lunch, everyone was struck by the fact that their madam director also had a home and family to go home to, sort of like how little kids get surprised when they realize their teachers aren’t just living and sleeping somewhere in the school.
after the first minute or so of mostly one-sided conversation, she started her movements again, rolling her hips at a slower, more steady pace with her thumb lowering to rub at your clit. the contact was electrifying, making you arch your back while choking back a loud gasp that was just quiet enough not to sound like a strangled cry. you were so embarrassed and yet strangely turned on by the idea of getting caught, and you would be lying if you said the way eva was looking at you wasn’t turning you on even more.
the people around her know she isn’t emotionless, but she never quite seems to show any feelings other than urgency, mild irritation, approval, or disapproval. you, on the other hand, get the privilege of seeing her wide range of emotions, frequently having the honor to see her smile and frown, and at the moment, her pure and unaltered desire for you. it’s a look you’ve seen in passing over the past few days, a flicker that she wondered if she should pursue, but decided against because of how busy she was. now, she was going to have to head back to the facility after thinking that she would finally be able to have a long-awaited night in with you, but she would be damned if she was going to leave without giving you the orgasm that you’ve been aching for all this time.
“i’m a little busy right now, but i’ll be over as soon as possible.”
“it’s almost ten pm, what are you busy doing—?”
once she hung up the phone, five minutes at most which felt like an agonizing hour with how slow the pleasure she was giving you was, she couldn’t help but compliment you, “you did such a good job, i’m surprised.”
“not as surprised as i was, what were you thinking when you picked up the phone like that?”
she let out a little hum of amusement, leaning down to give you another kiss, “i was thinking that you were the most beautiful woman alive, but i already knew that. you weren’t uncomfortable, were you?” she smiled when you grew flustered, knowing full well that both of you had done much worse before, especially when you two were in the honeymoon phases of your relationship.
before you could come up with a witty response, eva moved her hips back and slammed them back into you, making you grab onto her shoulders for stability. after warming her strap all this time, she was finally getting back to business, making you dizzy as she continuously pounded into you. the pleasure you were feeling before was rushing back to you all too fast, your pitched gasps were turning into increasingly wanton moans. she had you reduced to a total pillow princess, which doesn’t happen as often as some may think, but there really was nothing you could do other than take everything she’s giving you, throwing your head back into the pillow and crying out her name until your climax washed over you like a tidal wave.
for a moment, you felt like you had the wind knocked out of you with a faint ringing in your ears to go along with it, feeling eva’s hands caress your face as you came back to. oh, she wanted to stay there with you forever, the way she wanted to when she first fell in love with you and when you got married, yet she still had to grab her things and drive over to work as soon as possible when she should be helping you clean up and cuddling up with you until you fell asleep in each other’s arms.
no matter how much assurance you give her, there will always be a little bit of guilt in her for putting you second to her work, especially since she was already painfully aware that her workaholic tendencies often would put a strain on your relationship. still, you understand her predicament with the cruel fate the world is doomed to suffer without her, and while you wait for her like a woman waiting for her lover to return from a war, all eva can do is hope that their plan will run smoothly so that she can eventually return home with you. she will never be able to relax until one of the astronauts sends back a solution for the dimming sun or until humanity dies out, but no matter what happens, at least she’ll be by your side throughout it all.

The more I notice/know more directing/editing details on Ryland Grace and Eva Stratt scenes in PHM, the more I'm convinced that some of the people heavily in charge with the film are Strattland shippers.
Because what do you mean Grace was dancing with a mop that has the exact shade of Stratt's hair color?
What do you mean that she only smiles when she's with him?
What do you mean the directors said Stratt never smiled again after the Hail Mary launched and only got her smile back when she watched Grace's video logs when the beetles returned?
What do you mean she had her tattoo 'life without parole' on the same spot where he was injected when he was sedated?
What do you mean he remembers her face along with Yao when he didn't have any pictures of her as reference?
What do you mean that when Stratt went to guide him to his seat after his "whoop there it is" he instinctively grabbed her hand?
What do you mean that he asked her "what are you going to do for the next twenty years, you got a plan?" on February 14th of all dates?
What do you mean the directors confirmed Stratt left him the fox keychain that were along his things that were packed when he went aboard the Hail Mary?
What do you mean Ryan Gosling said Hail Mary is bit of a RomCom in an interview?
What do you mean they were staring at each other with heart eyes throughout that karaoke scene?
What do you mean that the editors had a hard time cutting the some of their scenes because it was too romantic?
What do you mean that in 2022 draft she got him an ice cream soft serve machine aboard the Vat because he misses it and in the movie he got his supply of Twizzlers candies?
What do you mean that in 2022 draft she was the last thing he saw and her name is the last word he uttered before being sent into space?
What do you mean that in 2022 draft when Grace was in Erid and he heard that the sun/Sol survived, he looked up the sky and said 'Good work, Stratt'?
What do you mean that in 2022 draft Grace's final word to Stratt in his video logs was "Take care" with a warm look on his face?
What do you mean you casted Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller who had so much chemistry on screen?
What do you mean with all of that huh? Screenplay, script writers, casting, director people??
Are most of them Strattland shippers and had an agenda this whole film? If so they must be so happy right now lol.
