Summary
Anyway, Annie’s lecturing and Chris is not listening, because Beth stole his coffee and he’s staring at her like a total, infatuated idiot. She’s got her hands buried in the sleeves of one of his sweatshirts and the hood is pulled so far up on her head that he can barely see her eyes peeking out from under the hem of the fabric, and god, he loves her so much. He doesn’t even notice when Annie stops talking. Annie, whose philosophy is subtlety, waves a hand in front of his face to catch his attention and says, bluntly: “Don’t make my life hell.”
Collection of one-shots all set in the same universe, post-Hermes.
“I don’t care,” Annie says honestly. “The world will, and so will NASA, but as long as you don’t do anything stupid that I have to worry about, then I don’t care who you fuck in space.”

Summary
Lewis worked open the bag and dropped the half-dollar-sized sample into her open palm. It was a rusted brown color, common to most rocks on that planet, and relatively flat. She turned it in her hand and inspected the points that could have once been jagged, worn down by millions of years of dust storms. “You’re a bad influence,” she murmured, “Where’s it from?”
“Kansas.”

The Hidden Trajectory by PlatinumInk

Summary
When Ares III was forced to abandon their mission on Mars early, the world mourned the death of Mark Watney. History recorded him as the mission‘s sole casualty, a man who never made it home. But history was wrong. Against all odds, Watney survived Sol 6 and until the arrival of Ares IV — only to be silenced. Paid off and hidden under a new identity, he vanished from the record, a ghost living quietly in the shadow of his own legend.
Years later, fragments of truth begin to surface. The Ares III crew who left him behind — haunted by memories of the man they thought they lost — stumble upon clues that suggest Mark‘s survival. As the pieces come together, they are forced to confront a devestating question: how much of their mission, their grief and even their triumph, was built on a lie?

Summary
Trauma can give people PTSD, flashbacks, and nightmares, can make them depressed and suicidal. But sometimes, trauma doesn't look so sympathetic. Sometimes trauma looks like anger, screaming insults at the ones you love and sometimes wishing you'd never been rescued in the first place.
Watney is rescued, but he isn't the charismatic and friendly man he used to be.

Fuel Versus Payload by meadowblades

Summary
“And what does seven hundred and eighty kilograms of fuel buy us?” Venkat asked.
“It buys us 300 kilograms of payload. It’s all about fuel versus payload. The MAV’s launch weight is over 12 600 kilograms. Even with the bonus fuel, we’ll need to get that down to 7 300 kilograms. So the rest of this booklet is how to remove over 5 000 kilograms from the ship.”
Venkat leaned back. “Walk me through it.”
Thirty-one drabbles to fulfil a challenge that is the writing equivalent of getting a spaceship designed for reaching low orbit all the way past Mars’s gravity. Payload, payload, payload. But hey…Watney survived, right?
Unless otherwise stated, all instalments work with the bookverse and the movieverse, and inspiration is pulled from both at once. Kapoor is always called “Venkat” though.
