    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    I swear, if I watch this press conference and NASA announce Mark Watney’s DEAD, I am going to contribute to some statistics #NASAANNOUNCMENT

    Or,

    The internet has a lot of thoughts about the fact Mark Watney is being picked up from Mars by an undead middle-school teacher and his new alien best bud

    Summary

    Mark Watney has survived 118 sols on Mars, and he wouldn’t exactly say it’s been a cakewalk, but he only has about three more years of listening to disco to go (ugh) before Ares IV picks him up and take him home. But when something crashes on the Martian surface only a few kilometers from the Hab, NASA wants him to leave the safety of his little home on the Martian prairie to go investigate…what could possibly go wrong?

    Ryland Grace has survived a long time in space and almost a decade on Erid, but the anxiety of not knowing if the beetles made it to Earth finally drives him to try the dangerous journey back home, and Rocky and Adrian come with him. Everything was actually going pretty good…until a horrible accident leaves them hurtling through space (and time) with no choice but to crash land on the wrong planet.

    How is Watney going to deal with the unexpected company (and their weird secretiveness over why they were in space)? Is Grace going to be able to adjust to being around another human being again? And how are Rocky and Adrian going to handle the uncertainty of a reception to an Earth that’s never heard of aliens before?

    More importantly…how the fuck is NASA going to get them all home alive?

    Summary

    Two years after Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid, they're back in the Hail Mary delivering Taumeoba to other stars in Erid's solar system. All is well, until they're pulled onto the Earth of a separate universe where superheroes are commonplace and Astrophage never dimmed the sun.

    SHIELD takes them into custody, and the saviors of Earth meet the saviors of the stars. But not without some road bumps along the way.

    (And as it turns out, Rocky and Grace might not be the only interdimensional travelers in the picture.)

    Summary

    It probably says a lot about the state of absolute lunacy that is his life that when Grace unexpectedly jolts awake back on Earth thirty years in his past, his feelings on the matter can be summarised as

    Huh. Well I guess this might as well happen too?
