Ao3 Author of The Hail Mary's Bureaucratic Scientist

[panickingavocado]

Introduction

So I guess I should probably introduce myself!

I'm Panicking Avocado but I go by Avo. I use they/them pronouns and I'm an Ao3 author!

I'm in several fandoms but my main one as of right now is Project Hail Mary! I've got a few PHM fics over on Ao3 and many more to come! My current main fanfic right now is an 11 chapter fic called; The Hail Mary's Bureaucratic Scientist. This is an AU in which Eva Stratt is sent on the Hail Mary instead of Ryland Grace.

I'm a new user to Tumblr so I quite honestly don't know what I'm doing 🙂‍↕️

Random headcanon: Stratt is weirdly good with animals. Nobody knows why. Least of all her. All anyone knows is that Grace has a frankly alarming gallery of pictures of wild animals either closely observing her or trying to be on her shoulder.

[panickingavocado]

I want to add onto this with my own headcanon: Stratt is good with animals because she's the Earth's daughter and everything on the planet trusts her because she's doing anything and everything she can to save them.

CHAPTER 4 IS FINALLY UP

22:59

Summary:

Eva Stratt was very cautiously hopeful. It was three days to launch and things were going well. Well enough that she was standing outside with Grace, watching the cloudy sky as they drank coffee together. Or: What if Stratt and Grace were just a bit too close to the explosion? What if that changed everything? Eva Stratt would have boarded the Hail Mary if she would survive the coma. Be very, very careful what you wish for.

Eva Stratt enjoyers seeing the most Needs A Fucking Break woman of all time: Hmmm what if we Didn’t Give Her That and instead put her through The Horrors??? :D

Grace, on Erid trying to surprise Rocky by speaking Eridian: *whistles and notes*

Rocky: ....

Grace: ....

Rocky: Grace racist, statement.

Grace, absolutely horrified: W-what??? No I would never-! I am so sorry-! Isweartogodiwouldneverdothatiju-

Adrian, exasperated by the two: Leave Grace alone Rocky.

My two PHM ocs! The first one is Amara Barnsdale who's a highschool astronomy teacher and then there's Cassian Crosworth who's an environmental scientist!

Stratt, on one hour of sleep in the past three days and 37 cups of coffee: Okay thank you, I—one minute—where are we on the research grants?!—ok—you, have you contacted—hold on—no I’m not available right now—NASA where are we with the ship?—good—yes I need all of them here—no, redesign that—I cannot talk to the press right now—hand me those charts—why is the patrova line up 4%?!—and you do not have clearance—no time for that right now—the button is over there—do I look like I have two seconds—one minute everyone I’m getting another effing call—WHAT?!

Grace, on the other line: Carl and I made a baby :D

I never should have been trusted with fictional characters and a writing platform.

"Grace doesnt have enough food on the jorney to Erid" yeah but Rocky does. Rocky has plenty, in fact, Rocky had enough food for 23 eridians for a bit over 30 years (because they were also expected to make the jorney back) Rocky has so much food, and he cant give any to grace because it will kill him. Every meal he makes he can hear Grace's body slowly collapsing in on itself from hunger. Rocky has to sit there, with way more than enough food for 2 and still watch his best friend starve to death.

Chapter 7 uploaded

The Hail Mary's Bureaucratic Scientist by PanickingAvocado on Ao3

She saw every camera pan to her and she ignored them as she stayed rooted in her spot. She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and soaked in the warmth of the dying sun. She slowly opened her eyes. Staring straight ahead she took a step forward without a motion of hesitancy. Eva Stratt boards the Hail Mary.

Here's the link to the work!

Many such cases

[panickingavocado]

Eva Stratt told Ryland Grace that it was easy for her to decide to send people to their deaths for the sake of humanity. What she doesn't say is that it isn't painful.
