    Summary

    Grace knew slowly starving to death was gonna suck, but man was this lamer than he’d anticipated…

    My first fanfic! Ever! Please be nice to me I’m learning :,)

    This may not be 100% accurate since Andy Weir is so goated when it comes to realistic world building and I am not science brained enough to understand half of what he writes. I’m mainly basing things off the book but Rocky and Grace act more like they do in the movie in my interpretation. I kinda just rolled with it from there. Also, I haven’t researched a ton into human starvation so some of the info may not be super accurate, but hey I can always change it later if not! (I think… Idk man I’ve never posted anything here before). Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Apologies in advance for subjecting you to my ADD fueled angst brain, but at least we can suffer together! :D

    And no, he doesn’t die! Though he may wish he had at some point…

    Summary

    “Grace, question?” Rocky was becoming increasingly more nervous. He’d never seen Grace do this before. Sleep was supposed to be restful. This didn’t look restful at all.

    Summary

    “Dr. Grace, I will be frank. The frequency is behaving in a steady manner, not guided by any gravitational pull towards any other planet…except Earth. It is too far away to catch a quality satellite images, but we think this may be–”

    “–a vessel using astrophage as fuel.” Grace finished quietly. He studied the image, an infrared camera’s picture, a red streak in a sea of darkness that ended abruptly. He zoomed in on the image, as far as it would go and then some, fingers braced on the glass to keep the image enhanced, but it was too dark to see anything at the tail of the red streak. “You think it’s an alien ship.”

    Grace swiped his finger across the screen and physically recoiled at the image, the desk chair wheeling back with him almost a foot. “Eridian. That’s an Eridian ship, I’m sure of it.”
    -
    Grace with no video logs, with no xenonite failure, who comes back to Earth as Rocky comes back to Erid, heart full but missing a very distinct piece. there's a deepset something in his eyes that has nothing to do with Stratt's actions being revealed or the press or adjusting to earth again.
