kaytaylorreaThis week's Fic Rec Monday is all about The Martian. TBH I wasn't crazy about Andy Weir's novel (stylistic mismatch), but the movie adaptation was one of my favorite films of 2015. Here are five of my (current) favorite fics from The Martian fandom.

Summary: Mark Watney will need to buy a lot of people beers.
A collection of in-world oneshots cataloging the world's reactions. From the news to social media and from regular people to NASA rover techs.
The Hermes Mutiny Golf Club by waldorph
Gen, Post-Canon
Summary: for gusface's prompt: I want to know what the fuck Sean Bean's character was doing at a golf course with kids. IS HE NOW A GOLF INSTRUCTOR? If you've read the book and there's an actual answer to this question you are forbidden from using that answer, you have to make up a dumb story instead. Bonus points for having the Fail Team Six come and take lessons from him and give him a hard time.

Summary: Somem of Beck's methods for social healing are not peer-reviewed, and Johanssen is a terrible enabler. And still a nerd.

Social Media, Post-Movie
Summary: "Hey Hermes!" The ambient suspicion level in the Rec ratcheted up significantly. Kapoor was disturbingly cheerful. "We've sent you some mission updates in the data dump, but Mitch and I wanted to personally let you know--" Mitch visibly rolled his eyes in the background. "--Thanks to some...strong suggestions from the White House, and on Annie and Director Sanders' recommendation, we've started releasing Watney's Mars logs to the public."

Chris Beck/Beth Johanssen/Mark Watney, Chris Beck/Mark Watney, Chris Beck/Beth Johanssen, Beth Johanssen/Mark Watney, ares3some, Aliens, Psychological Horror, Suicidal Thoughts, Touch-Starved
Summary: Mark is pretty sure there's something up here with him, hunting him.
