Summary
Mark Watney never manages to make contact with Earth and NASA never realizes that he survived the storm and evacuation on Sol 6. So, needless to say, the crew of the Ares IV is incredibly surprised when they land on Mars to find a scruffy, malnourished, mentally unbalanced, but still-alive astronaut waiting for them.

Summary
A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Dursleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But when the Potions Master forces him to read his letter, Harry gets sent down a path he'd never have walked on his own.
It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of Harry confronting his worst fears.
But from the most unexpected of sources, Harry Potter will finally get a chance to have that which he has never known: a family.A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5.
Warning -- the comments can contain massive spoilers so proceed with caution!
