    Summary

    “I don’t know how to tell you this, Mindy; but your career has taken an unexpected turn into major relevance; and I’ve waited almost two years for you to notice.” Vincent said with a smile.

    Mindy Park wasn't part of the mission, exactly. But she noticed something unusual on her screen one night, and became a minor footnote in the history books.

    For the Ares III Crew, she became much more; because at NASA, First Is Forever.

    Mark/Mindy ship, only if you want it to be; but a friendship fic to be sure.

    Summary

    "And this is how this story ends. The story of Mark Watney is the story of a man who was stranded on Mars. Instead of giving up, he did everything he could to make it back to Earth, because that's the point."

    What would being abandoned on an entire planet do to someone? A window into Mark's emotional state on Mars. A sincere attempt to stay true to the real-life health effects of solitary isolation.

    Edited and updated September 2021.
