Summary
Fate does not make choices, provided it exists at all. The universe merely exists, unmoving: and thus, under many circumstances, the reason why anyone can feel special when confronted to the extraordinary is nothing short of pure happenstance.
Hal has been fascinated with the museum’s statue all morning. When this new exhibit suddenly opens its eyes to stare right back into theirs, their curiosity can only grow exponentially… and so will their list of problems.Or: What if Hal was the one being paired, instead of the usual protagonist?

Summary
You find yourself standing in front of the wheel house, stopped at its front door. It occurs to you that you’ve never been inside this building. Not once, not during the loops and never before them.
It’s something new. Something you’ve never experienced, never seen, never learned inside and out until there was nothing left to learn.

Summary
The world ended...except it didn't.
When Graphite wakes up with two sets of memories (or an incredibly bad, incredibly life-like dream and one set of memories), they don't know what to think. Or what to do. Or why no one seems to believe them. Deep down, they know what has to be done: they have to go to space - and annoy everyone while they're at it.

While the young protagonist of their own adventure jets off into the galaxy to do who-knows-what, the Hearthians at home are dealing with their own problem. Tektite has discovered a strange and alien seed in Youngbark Crater, something that looks an awful lot like the horrible nightmare called Dark Bramble, and they set out to avert their planet's destruction through extremely questionable means.

Summary
A compilation of my Outer Wilds-themed stories featuring much beloved characters from the video game and potentially an OC or two. Will also sometimes contain outlines and general story ideas. I'm leaving it marked as "complete," but this will likely be updated with new ideas fairly often as inspiration allows.

2) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 1: In which being in space gives you weird powers and everyone is having A Time.
3) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 2: In which Hatchling and Gabbro are on the run and the plot gets moving.
4) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 3: In which there are injuries, escapades, and Chert sees something they shouldn't.
5) Space-Touched Travelers- Interlude: Esker...?
6) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 4: In which plans are made and our time buddies are no longer alone.
7) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 5: In which things go wrong and we meet up with Gossan.
