orbital resonance series | the margin of error | part one complete | ao3
project hail mary fanfic. second person reader insert. rivals to lovers. ~16k words.
you are a reputation-conscious phd student who has read every word ryland grace has ever published and is absolutely furious about it. he is chaos in a chunky cardigan. this is a problem.
features:
• an argument that gets out of hand in a department corridor
• a lab at midnight and an encrypted hard drive four folders across from the one currently open
• a grant panel where nobody is talking about the grant
• a confession in his office that goes the way confessions go when neither of you has ever once said the thing you actually mean
• coffee that is genuinely terrible. she drinks it anyway.
• a monstera plant that is load-bearing to the entire narrative
the epilogue will not be okay. i’m sorry. i’m not sorry.
Read it all on ao3 here and the tell me what you think because I’m desperate for validation.
ok ok ok i haven’t been very active on here lately but i just HAD to log back on so i could boost this lovely author here. orbital resonance has been the absolute joy of my existence for the past week and i’ve been raving about it to literally anyone who would listen. IT’S SO GOOD. op, i know you’ve seen my messages on Ao3 but i will say it all again: this fic is not just amazingly written, but it is some of the best stuff i’ve had the pleasure of feasting my eyes upon. i love you. i owe you my life.
PHM/ryland grace lovers, please take some time out of your day to enjoy this— i promise you won’t regret a single second.
