    Summary

    Slate frantically ran up the stairs towards the observatory, looking around.

    “Mica?” Mica was also just as shaken.

    “Slate? What was that?” Their face was frightened as they stared at them.

    “I don’t-”

    But they cut themselves off as they heard something… almost like whispering at first. But it was getting louder, and Slate realized it sounded like whooshing air.

    And what was that bright, blue light?

    And why was it getting hotter all of a sudden?

    Slate suddenly gasped as a roar washed over them. They frantically looked around them, seeing that the sky was too bright. Impossibly so. It lit up the entire night sky so much that they couldn't see the stars anymore.

    But then, it was gone.

    Slate stared in confusion and terror at the sky for a few seconds, as if they were waiting for the strange light to return, before they tilted their head back down and looked around frantically.

    The hatchling's launch day takes a turn no one could have expected

    Summary

    (Not Canon to Learning to Catch at the End of Everything! I'm just hurting Sanidine for no real reason.)

    Sanidine and Gabbro made it to the Eye together. They jumped as close to simultaneously as possible, touched the potential universe at nearly the same time.

    The universe, unfortunately, doesn't care about nearly.

    Summary

    It's launch day, and the newest astronaut of Outer Wilds Ventures is finally setting off on their first solo voyage to explore the solar system. Only, their first flight is spun off-course when they make a world-shattering discovery...

    Older Than the Universe is a complete retelling of the story of Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye, with added worldbuilding, science, and character interaction sprinkled throughout. The ENTIRETY of this work (Yes, even Chapter 1!) is FULL of spoilers for the game and its DLC. Outer Wilds is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so read at your own risk!

    Summary

    “Gabbro!” the Hatchling cried. Gabbro turned at their name, flute lowered. The Hatchling dashed across the sand and grabbed the astronaut by the shoulders. “I’m stuck in a time loop with Chert. You have to do something.”

    “Oh, good luck with that, bud.” They raised their flute.

    Summary

    Nothing ever built on top of the old doesn't bring some of the past with it. Usually however it's not this literal.

    The Outer wilds solar system appears in the new universe the hatchling created 14.3 billion years later. More remnants of the loops and the experience in the Eye of the Universe remain than anyone could've possibly anticipated. Now everyone must learn how to go on after the end of it all.

    Getting rewritten/redone read chapter 7 for more information.

    Summary

    You swim towards the surface that glimmers with speckles of light. The blue sky is there. You can see it. You will make this loop have a purpose. You will not give up this loop. You need to get out of the river. You need to fix your ship.

    You need to get out of Timber Hearth.

    Your head breaches through the surface.

    You gasped for air.

    "Hey, buddy, you find something good down there?" your best friend said. Hal crouched by the river, running their finger through the water to cause ripples. They offered you a small smile.

    ------

    In which, the loops merge with the memories of the past.

    Summary

    Sanidine is ready to get out into space, and nothing is going to stop them from hopping into their ship and becoming the new best there ever was. They'll solve the mysteries of the Nomai, find the truth behind their missing idol, and advance Hearthian exploration more than ever before, with the help of the translator that they built with Hal and a brand new ship Slate calls their finest work yet. Their launch day is going so well, until suddenly it isn't. A chance encounter with a new artifact in the museum sends them rocketing to Giant's Deep, seeking out Gabbro right away to talk about a shared experience.

    It's the first of many shared experiences the pair have, as they come to realize their situation. Faced with the reality that the only person either of them can turn to is the other, they're soon forced to learn what it really means to catch someone when they've got nowhere else to fall, and to let themselves be caught in turn. And if they can do that, then maybe, just maybe, they can save the universe... or at least save each other.

    Summary

    Two time travelers from two different worlds awake to find themselves in a strange maze of rooms. To make it out alive and return to their respective homes, they’re going to have to work together across the species divide and solve the mysteries of where they are, who put them there, and why.

    Summary

    While the rest of the village prepares for the winter season, Hal seems to be having pronoun trouble, and only their friends can help. Translating the Nomai language is proving to be a challenge, especially for a group of idiots who've never heard of gender. Meanwhile, the hatchlings outside play an ever-growing game, and it seems Chert's been sucked into the black hole of chaos. Can Hal keep cool, keep their stomach, and keep their wits about them as they push forward in the name of linguistics?

    Created as a companion to art pieces by @pancakemolybdenum and @desisthegame / @pebblewsa on Tumblr. Written for the Collapsed Stars Reverse Mini Bang event hosted by the community-run Outer Wilds Events discord.

    Summary

    The solar system is a complex place, and every planet presents its own challenges and opportunities, so it's hardly fair for a single ship to be able to explore all of it. But with a dedicated team of aliens building a new spacecraft every time loop, then maybe there's a chance of figuring out exactly why the sun keeps blowing up.

    Summary

    Here is how you wake up, after the end of it all:
    Burning alive, drowning, impaled on debris, shattered against rocks, brain fried to a hunk of cooked flesh, dissolved in acid, fire eaten through there’s just bone –
    But that’s not right. There’s something warm to the left of your face (you hadn’t been able to maneuver away in time when Hollow’s Lantern spat out that chunk of volcanic rock. Shattered, empty, losing air, you think this is how Brittle Hollow feels.) and the smell of pine in your nose where you lie, sprawled on the ground, mouth open and throat raw.
    Hypothesis: You’re screaming.

    In which there are unforeseen consequences.
