Chapters: 1/1

Missing diary entries, about both, well, viscous fluids, but also with a smidge of Mark's additional emotions on Mars and his coping with being back home. Very true to the book (and the movie, though obviously it was released well before it).

Meaty amazing synthesis of various elements of the game as it existed before it was updated for its release to PC, but entirely readable as standalone; highly recommended if the tags sound intriguing.

Adjunct Inspiration (3189 words) by amberspyglass
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: @WorstMuse
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: I’d love to believe that some of the muses call me “Dish” because I’m pretty or because there's always great gossip about me, but I think it’s actually short for “disheveled.”
The Worst Muse is a Twitter account (not active now), but really all you need to know is the concept inherent in the name. This is actually a really sweet story with nice worldbuilding.
Happy reading!
