    Summary

    (Work title from the song Something Wild by Lindsey Stirling because it reminds me of everyone’s favorite thalassophobia sphere!)

    Bart wasn’t alone.

    He’d suspected it for months. He’d seen the giant ship when he’d surfaced after the huge earthquake a while ago, though it didn’t seem like there were any survivors at first. But then he saw things that were strange, out of place. It was inconspicuous at first. Wounds on some creatures that couldn’t have been made naturally, wounds that looked like they were made by a knife. Things like Stalker teeth or limestone outcrops disappearing from the location he’d seen them mere days before. At first he’d thought it was the last of his sanity slipping away.

    or:

    In another universe, Bart Torgal dies alone of the Kharaa. But in this one, he’s too damn stubborn to succumb. So what happens when he meets the lone survivor of another shipwreck?

    Summary

    Tim Drake had boarded the Aurora for investigative purposes. Danny Fenton had boarded as an opportunity to visit space.
    As the only minors on the ship, they’d been roommates. Until they had to evacuate.
    Now the sole survivors of the Aurora’s crash, they’re stranded on a planet, far from anyone they know, and no way to get home. They both want to keep secrets, at least initially, but there’s only one person to talk to, and it’s not safe to go far alone.

    Summary

    Alterra isn't above child labor but Danny doesn't seem to mind it as he takes his only chance to explore space on board the aurora.

    Now, with a crashed ship, limited access to his powers, an alien disease unlike anything seen before, and weirdly intelligent leviathans trying to grab him; he thinks he should have minded it a bit more...

    Summary

    When Alterra had assigned you to the Aurora as one of the few doctors aboard, you had expected a smooth trip across intergalactic space to build a new phasegate. After all, Alterra was the best when it came to space travel, right? And you are a very valuable asset, being the young, renowned and genius ‘doctor’ you are.

    But no, instead, the Aurora is attacked and you are scrabbling to get to an escape pod.

    Landing on the unknown planet-4546B, you are left racing against the clock to find the cure for this strange bacteria that is infecting your systems and preventing you from leaving the planet safely.

    Now, if only those two giant-leviathan classified creatures that have been playing with you since day one would decide if they wanted to eat or help you, your job would become so much easier.

      i’ll come back to this one. twenty chapters in and it just feels like a transcript of the game with some flavour text thrown in, but there’s SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! twin intelligent alien fishboys making a more engaging hunt out of you by playing with their food at every opportunity until they make a genuine connection with you?? that is awesome. but… the writing itself does leave a lot to be desired - it’s not bad, just amateurish. doesn’t really dig into you and hold on like a more seasoned writer can. and being the impatient bitch i am, I summarily dropped it.

    Summary

    Purpled was NOT having a good day, first the coffee machine was broken and now the ship was hurtling towards the ocean planet below them at an increasing speed. As he clambered into an empty lifepod, its voice came to life “Attention. Hull failure imminent. All personnel abandon ship.” Purpled quickly strapped himself into the seat before pressing the big red button on his right. “Launch in 3...2...1…”

    Or

    I wanted more Purpled centric fics and i'm on a mer obsession at the moment

    Summary

    If there’s one thing you’ve learned from your week on this alien planet, it’s that the ocean doesn’t give a shit about you.

    You really, really wish you could say the same about the two leviathans that won't stop stalking you.

    Summary

    Location: Ariadne Arm
    Date: 22nd Century

    The Alterran Capital Ship Aurora was dispatched with a simple purpose; the construction of a new phasegate.
    Unbeknownst to most, however, was that there was a second purpose; to discover the fate of the Degasi, a ship that had vanished a decade before, above planet 4546B.

    The Aurora set off with 157 crew onboard. But it never came back.

    A great many of the crew died on that mission. But there was one big question; how many survived?

    Summary

    Crashing into an alien planet was not on the itinerary. One minute you were on the Aurora, trying not to get roasted alive in a supposed engine fire; the next, you were strapped into a life pod, watching your only ticket home go up in flames. Now, with no land in sight, a PDA spitting out half-broken survival tips, and a deep-seated fear of open water gnawing at your gut, you're left to fend for yourself in a world that likely wants you dead.

    Surviving long enough to scrape together a working radio should be priority number one -- except the ocean has other plans. Between scavenging scraps, avoiding hungry fauna, and suppressing the creeping horror of the abyss beyond the shallows -- something else wretches in your gut.

    The Aurora may have crashed, but you're not alone down here. And that might be worse.

    Summary

    The Aurora had a crew of 157.
    It only had enough lifepods to carry 100
    The Starboard pods were destroyed by the initial blast, none launched.
    25 pods successfully launched from the Broadside bay.
    10 would land in the raised volcanic area, the rest either burning up in the atmosphere, being crushed by the Aurora or landing in the void.
    Only 2 successfully deployed their flotation devices, the others would sink to the ocean floor, no matter how deep.
    Within 8 hours of planetfall there was only one survivor.
    This is his story.

    Summary

    Part of hiding how inhuman you actually were meant keeping a low profile, not drawing unnecessary attention. So taking a job as a janitor felt like the perfect way to fly under the radar. You even found a way to get off Earth using your profession after getting hired by Alterra to clean the Aurora. Once you got off planet, you were sure you could live freely without hiding anymore, without worrying you were about to be snatched up by the government for testing like your parents had done to you. Imagine your surprise when you survive the ship crashing on an alien planet. An oceanic alien planet, where most everything would like to kill you. Perhaps you can survive long enough to get off this murder ocean with the help of your new friends?

    Summary

    On a mysterious ocean planet in the isolated depths of the Ariadne Arm, two men fight for survival in the wake of a spate of tragedies.
    Two years later, the rest of the world comes knocking.

    A reimagining of Subnautica in which, after the crash of the Aurora, Ryley Robinson finds his path intersecting with reclusive but kind-hearted Bart Torgal. Their search for answers takes them to the depths of an alien quest for survival that ravaged the planet aeons ago, pushing the limits of their humanity in the process.
    Meanwhile, in Arm space, Captain Avery Quinn is haunted by the guilt of his failure to save the Aurora's lone survivor and makes the impulsive decision to return to the planet where his ship was nearly destroyed.
    Between the grinding wheels of the Alterran profit machine and the unforgiving rock of 4546B's harsh environment, is there space for something new to flourish? And how hard are they willing to fight to keep it? With the outside world bearing down on 4546B, Bart and Ryley have no choice but to try to answer the challenge in what may be the most difficult test they have ever faced.

    Summary

    First fic here, inspired by SBZ and the fact that I couldn't figure out how to draw AL-AN. This accidently created an OC and the little guys has lead me through all the hoops and icy tunnels to complete this mess of a writing.

    No spoilers on my end, I'll let him take you the rest of the way.

    *There is currently a rewrite underway for this story and this version is NO LONGER canon, but I'll still leave it up if anyone wants to read it :)*
