Summary
Higgs was dragging himself slowly after him, forearms slipping on the slick ground, his mech squealing with every failed push.
Sam came to a hesitant stop, watching as Higgs slowly caught up to him. And then, barely audible, “Please… please, please, please…” A quiet chant as he hauled himself up.
Sam couldn’t believe what he was hearing, or seeing. Higgs, the particle of god, kneeling on broken legs, begging, eyes wide and pleading.
“Please, Sam… I’ll deteriorate out here. Like lost cargo.”
Sam looked down at him, rain streaming off his hood. It almost fooled him. But not quite.// or another one of those DS2 Higgs redemption arcs

Summary
Months after the whole continent of Australia has been connected to the chiral network, Sam receives an urgent call while on route to finish a delivery. A disruption in the tar currents has been detected, and he is asked to investigate. With an uneasy feeling, Sam accepts the request and soon finds himself face to face with an old enemy, who should very much not be alive. Unable to ignore this turn of events, the crew members of the DHV Magellan are forced to take Higgs Monaghan into custody.
-----------------------------------------
This work is canon-compliant as far as the main story of both games is concerned and takes place after the events of DS2. Anything that happens from here on out is me sprinkling my own salt onto the story the way I interpret these characters. Enjoy.

Summary
After watching Subaru's life from After he arrived in this world. The cast would be given the opportunity to watch an alternate universe with a world very different from their own. A world broken by the stranding of the souls of the dead. A world where nothing is as it seems. A world where the boy would not be the one dying over and over again.
And one silver-haired half-elf would be offered a deal to experience the life of another in hopes of truly understanding the man Named Subaru Natsuki.
Hoping to help find real catharsis.

Literally one of only two fics on my "GOAT" list. Beautifully written, strong characterisation, and a compelling narrative. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone and anyone. The author's other SamHiggs works are also absolutely stellar and among my favourites but it's this series that I cling to like a lifeline. I ate through the entirety of A Lone Star in a single day and only felt disappointment at the very end, when I had left myself nothing to read. Genuinely beautiful.

Summary
Months after the events of Death Stranding 2, Sam Porter finds himself wandering the quiet, fractured world without purpose. Removed from the Magellan and his former life as a porter, he drifts along empty highways and through rolling hills, haunted by memories of Fragile, his daughter Lou, and the people he has lost. The world feels quieter, but the silence brings its own dangers.

All of the fanarts here are made by me.
I'm an artist that draws mainly Sam Porter Bridges/Deadman content, I've been sharing my NSFW drawings on my locked twitter account, but since I've received some comments from people outside Twitter that don't have access to the site but still want to see my NSFW drawings, I decided to share them here.
I still highly recommend following me on Twitter because anything shared here will be first shared there and there's some exclusive content there like WIPs.-

Summary
It’s been three months since Sam Bridges was able to fulfill his so-called duty of restoring the chiral network. Though it was all for the sake of an ending, the world is at peace for now and he’s got Louise to look after… Life is okay… Until he finds a female stranded outside his shelter home who only remembers her name and that she thinks she was meant to find him… Who exactly is Beth Greene?

Summary
“Well, howdy there, friends!” Higgs shouted.
Sam whipped his head around and almost lost his balance again. Higgs was standing on the damp sand a dozen or so meters away from them. He looked exactly like he had on APAS’s Beach: shirtless, hair down, tattooed, and very much human. There was no replica of Amelie’s quipu around his neck, and he appeared unarmed, but otherwise he made an oddly familiar sight.
“You’re coming back with us,” Sam informed him, closing the distance between them in a few confident strides.
“Awww, I knew my prince would come and rescue me,” Higgs swooned, clasping his hands to his chest.
“You’re…not putting up a fight?” Lou asked uncertainly as Sam snatched one of Higgs’s wrists in a firm grip.
“Why would I, sugar?” he asked, unreactive to Sam unclipping his strand from his belt and unfurling its length. “Nothin’ for me here.”
Or; Sam and Higgs learn how to coexist in a doomed world with no exit

Summary
"Sam, I know that you normally refuse human cargo, but I’m not sure I trust anyone else to handle this."
Sam didn’t need to know who his cargo was, he didn’t need to know what the specifics were of their past, or what would happen to them once they were delivered. The less Sam knew the better. It would be a whole lot easier for both of them if he kept his distance, and just did his job. Right?
~
It should have been like any other job. Collect the cargo, deliver it in one piece, and move on. Sam didn't like to get attached, and he certainly avoided making connections whenever possible. However, this delivery would prove to go a lot different from what he had planned.

**SPOILERS FOR DEATH STRANDING 2**
"Yes, Lou, if I could I would do anything to get back to Sam. I miss him so much. All the years I've spent on this beach, it's all I've thought about. My damn regret and everything I missed with your father."
Fragile gave Lou a watery smile. "I love him, Lou, but things are what they are and that is okay. I'll be here waiting for the day that I can pull him from the seam and we can walk into the waves together."
"No." Lou said with a finality. "Not if I can do something about it."
They are still clutching each other when they suddenly sink into the tar together.
•••
In which Fragile doesn't die, because I refuse to let her and I haven't gone to therapy for a while.

Summary
Post game, happy au/ no one dies and Amelie is on the beach watching over like any other damn god would. Higgs finds himself on his favorite porter’s beach... alone... hm.
Mostly centered around Higgs and how he can gain the trust of the Bridges members and maybe get closer to Sam.
Title is from a poem by Richard Siken

Summary
Sam Porter Bridges.
The words were like a mantra almost, relaying and rolling off his tongue, providing him an anchor as he was thrust deep into the frigid, nerve-splitting waters. Then he wakes, promptly hacking up a tar-like substance.
Expecting another blow, because that always came after he was bad. It had to, that's how it was. That's how it was with Daddy and that's how it was with Her, his sweet red-dressed angel. Sickly, sickly sweet, an angel in the world of the dead. She was dead to him. He had to tie up loose ends.
Sam seemed to have the same idea, unfortunately.
----
Ongoing -- new chapters when I feel like it, probably not too consistent. Trying not to rush this one.

Summary
Sam asks Higgs if this is really what he wants. For their extinction. For their inevitable end to make ends meet in their present.
Or a fix-it fic where Higgs leaves the Beach with all of Drawbridge back to the land of the living. They break, they heal, they tend to fresh wounds, caress old scars, and old hearts weep anew.
