* Comments: I'm a big fan of hidden identity fanfics, and I found this through the book/movie's wiki. It became one of my favorite fics, which is no easy feat (to date I only have 3 favorite fanfics, and only one other favorite thing). Read if you want a badass crew, action, Beck and Watney going on cute dates (no sex involved), and the complications that come with being undercover, all with elements from The Martian, this story is for you!

* Comments: A fun, [[ShownTheirWork well-researched]] romp where Mark Watney gets rescued by a TeenGenius instead of an international effort. Notable for [[RealityEnsues exploring the consequences]] of such an act. Teen Genius builds a spaceship? [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{NASA}} impounds it]]. Teen Genius ''launches'' said spaceship? [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/NorthKorea ''lanches anti-satellite weapons'' at it]]. Teen Genius returns to Earth, expecting international acclaim? [[spoiler:TheGovernment immediately invokes the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_Secrecy_Act Invention Secrecy Act]], leaving him with ''[[TaxmanTakesTheWinnings nothing]]'' except [[ResignationsNotAccepted a NASA draft]] for his trouble. Maybe he'll get to build another ship in five years. And maybe he'll get to ride in another one in '''twenty'''. Hey, he might even get to own one of his ships - in '''''thirty''''' years]].
