Fics like Side note: We're going to live!

In the new timeline, Yao and Ilyukhina have survived their comas. Grace is happy that they’re alive this time around, but having to answer to Yao is causing problems, because unlike Grace, Yao doesn’t trust Rocky. Grace has to convince his crewmates to let him and Rocky become friends this time around, all the while hiding that he’s a time traveler who has lived through the Hail Mary mission already, and that he knows both Earth and the crew have a chance to survive. This is a fleshed out part of one of the possible endings of Time Travel Makes Perfect , a short story sketch I did examining what might happen if Grace time traveled back from his life on Erid to the first day Stratt recruited him to study Astrophage, so you can check that out if you want more context, or to find out about the fic that was my original inspiration for this.
