Rover Love

A recent XKCD webcomic on the Mars rover kinda broke my heart :  XKCD #695: Spirit.

Fortunately, fandom came along and patched it up.  There are *two* fanfiction fix-its for this webcomic that I've seen.  Guess I wasn't the only one brokenhearted.

The Battersea Home for Lost Robots

"It was okay, though. The humans would come soon, and then Rover could go home."

Spirit, The Sequel
  by [livejournal.com profile] linaerys (G)
"For three years, Spirit has followed the sun. The nights are cold and without sun she powers off, but she always comes on again when it rises. Something inside her tells her when to approach the equator, and when to switch to the other hemisphere. Mars is big, and its rocks are endlessly fascinating to her."

Does it count as RPF if it's about real robots?   Maybe RRF (Real Robot Fiction)?
