    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.

    Summary

    The child Sam has found on his last delivery job seems to be fine- she's happy, energetic, is eating and sleeping well, but he can't help but worry. She's just so... Small, and frail. This leaves him no choice- he decides to journey to the temple on the outskirts of the village and lay down an offering for a capricious satyr that inhabits it, due to his healing powers and the chance that he will keep her under his spiritual care. When the two meet, however, an unlikely curiosity about eachother sparks, one that might change their relationship from a simple exchange to something more.

    Summary

    No, there! Shimmering gold under settled sand, showing viridescent scales mottled with beautiful gold. The rest of its body is hidden behind a cluster of rocks.

    It’s… it’s huge. Like a big ass eel, a transparent yellow fin running down the spine.

    He sees a human. A human. A human male. What the fuck?

    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

    “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 didn’t know what was ahead of them as he sat on the stairs outside the incinerator, watching the rain fall, or even where he would get the supplies, but he knew they’d make it work.

    They always do, him and Lou.

    Summary

    Sam is finally free. No more being forced to work for Bridges. No pressure to be some savior to the masses. And no one he has to be accountable to but himself and Lou. His life is his own at last and he intends to live it how he chooses from now on.

    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.

      Bookmark Notes:

      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.

    Summary

    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

    "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.

    Summary

    **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.
