Title: Parenting Problems

Rating: PG

Title: curious little pink thing
Fandom: Kirby (series) + Project Hail Mary (2026), as a crossover between the two. Please tag as Kirby and Project Hail Mary (film) respectively, mods 🥺
Rating: PG-13
Length: 2557 words
Content notes: Part of the same AU as theseworks, but like. Is an AU of that AU where Project Hail Mary happened prior to Kirby and the Forgotten Land's events. Also ALL of this silliness is taking place post-Star Crossed World so pls don't yell at me about Star Crossed World spoilers if they come up. I swear this fic was finished just today and not started during the amnesty!

As for actual content warnings: Rocky swears a couple times and so does Mahoroa lol. And kinda blatant spoilers for PHM due to the premise.
Author notes:So the premise of this fic may have happened purely because the AMC Theatres location I went to when I first watched PHM had these little claw machines with Kirby figures......... and then after the movie I thought "oh hey this movie would be perfect with Kirby involved because they have similar hopeful vibes :)"

Written for: The prompt Gentle for Fan Flashworks.
Summary: Long after Grace dies, Rocky decides to seek out one of the refuges of what remains of humanity, and instead meets the universe's pink puff of a hero and his weird family.
