    Summary

    “Did you know there’s this weird thing called a lock? And, get this, they signify wanting to be left the fuck alone."

    “That’s funny, real, fuckin’ funny, March,” Healy sneers down at him. “You don’t get that luxury when you can’t even take care of yourself.”

    March furrows his eyebrows, having the gall to look offended. Healy resists the urge to punch him. “What is that supposed to mean?”

     

    Or Healy gets to see what March does when things get bad. Neither are equipped to handle the emotions that come with it, and they're both having a bad time on the bathroom floor.

    Summary

    Getting settled on a new planet has all kinds of ups and downs, Ryland Grace knows this. Eridian's are very different, not to mention simply their method of speech.

    Grace may have forgotten to mention that some forms of sound, sudden and sharp, are painful to humans. It never came up, and after nearly a year on Erid, it had sort of slipped his mind. Not to mention, being on a space craft for nearly five years must have brought an issue like this to light, but it seems that he and Rocky had just gotten lucky.

    The alternative, the pain of new sounds is discovered the hard way, with a bit too much blood as a result.

    Summary

    When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
    However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
    Which are on the outside of the ship.
    Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.

    Summary

    Three times Ryland Grace being sick is met with indifference + one time a sentient rock takes it very seriously.

    ~

    “Hi,” he says, trying out the word. He sounds snotty and sleepy. “Sorry to bother you. I think… I-I think someone el-else needs to watch my group.”

    There’s silence on the other end.

    “Why?” is all that comes next.

    Inconvenience.

    He’s always an inconvenience.

    Ryland sucks in a deep breath that leaves him coughing. “I don’t feel… I d-don’t feel very well, and… I t-threw up, and I…”

    His voice gives out before he can finish.

    Summary

    He's waited four-ever.

    NASA doesn't know Watney is alive. How will trying to survive in total isolation until Ares 4 change him? What new challenges will he face? Can he make it 1408 sols without completely losing himself?

    For god's sake, someone send him a new mix-tape.
