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.

Summary
When Nasa sends a seventh astronaut to space, with barely any training, to conduct experiments and research on the hearing and balance of the crew before, during, and after the mission periodically, then nearly kills her and leaves her stranded alone on Mars with no one for company except Mark Watney, how is she going to survive 564 SOLS?
Dr. Alexandra Sharring, Audiologist, mentally unstable, and hopeless is stranded on Mars.

She will be the first person to die on Mars. That she was sure of.

Summary
On the list of things Beth really doesn't want to do, participating in whatever's going down in Vogel's quarters right now is at the very top. Crying on her commanding officer is a close second, but she can do that at the same time as fixing cracked carbon filters, so at least it's more productive.

Summary
When the world heard of what had happened to Grace before Stratt's trial, the world wanted Stratt's death.
Most world leaders considered Stratt to still be a useful asset. One of them has an idea.
Funnily enough, the idea is put into practice.
Stratt gets a (somewhat nicer) taste of what she put Grace through.

Summary
LOG ENTRY: MISSION DAY 688
I woke up on an actual bunk. With clean sheets. And clean hair.
Do you know how it feels like to have clean hair for the first time in 549 sols? Fucking amazing, that's how.
Holy shit. Life is worth living.
Mark Watney is back on Hermes, safe and sound. Deeply touch-starved, even less socially adequate than before, and with two very broken ribs — but alive. And that's all Rick Martinez cares about.

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.

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.”

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?
