* Recommended by: NCToni
* Status:
** ''Just Keep Going'': Complete
** ''I Win, Mars'': Complete
** ''Everything After'': Ongoing/Dormant
* Synopsis: Following Mark Watney through canon before, during and after the Ares III mission.
* Comments: A fascinating, heart-wrenching, astonishingly well written reimagining of the novel, focusing on the immense mental, emotional and physical consequences of Watney's time on Mars. Delves deep into the effects of solitude, trauma, and mental illness. Dark, but ultimately hopeful.

* Recommended by Kalaong
* Crossover with: ''Literature/TheMartian''
* Status: Complete.
* Synopsis: There would have been no rescue for Mark, if NASA had not noticed he was still alive. Unless of course, a certain Big Hero noticed instead.
* 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]].






* Synopsis: Twilight Sparkle's experimental interplanetary drive has malfunctioned, stranding Starlight Glimmer, Spitfire, Cherry Berry, a changeling and a dragon on a hostile planet in another universe. With limited food supplies, very little magic, no communications with home, and no way to leave the planet, they must survive until somepony rescues them.

Fortunately they crashed right next door to another creature with the exact same problem- a creature named Mark Watney.

They're going to have to science the buck out of everything- and do whatever it takes to survive Mars and get everybody home.

--OR--

Mark Watney just got stranded on Mars. Planning for survival on a hostile planet is hard enough. Planning for survival on a hostile planet with a dragon, a bug thing, a horse, a pegasus, and a unicorn that came in on a bedazzled rocket ship straight out of a toy line for girls? Well, survival just got a lot harder.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''Literature/TheMartian'', so please be sure to sign them all. No-name recommendations will be given only potatoes to eat. Also warn if your fic contains mature content such as sexual moments, swearing, blood and gore, etc. Keep your synopses and reviews short and share as much as you can with your other tropers in the Discussion page.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into non-canon or into a territory of its own canon. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.
