Summary
Samus tries to process the events of ZDR. Unfortunately, the universe has plans for her, somebody needs saving, and the dead have a habit of coming back.
An attempt to tie the Metroid series' two halves together, wrangling several 20+ year old plot mysteries to form a cohesive story, aiming to be my preferred direction the series should take.

Summary
A grand reinvisioning of the Metroid universe focused around the lives of Samus and Arne, once intended to be Sylux but now branched off into an adjacent character; from the earliest days to every major chapter of their lives as they experience and shape the greatest time of crisis in an aeon. Whether it's grand missions or simple, quiet moments of day to day life, the story is fundamentally about what is like to grow up as a youth in the far future as the status quo crumbles away and far more uncertain and dangerous times await, and what it is like to be born human but raised by alien beings who are all but myth to most and to bear the burden of great expectations.
All comments & feedback welcome. Even the silly ones.
Undergoing fairly extensive rewrites to fix some internal continuity errors. The overall plot won't change though.

Summary
The year is 235 after the Galactic Advent. Civilizations across the Milky Way, united under the Galactic Federation, now struggle against the enigmatic and unrelenting Space Pirate threat. To combat this foe, the Galactic Federal Police keep watchful outposts in every corner of federally-controlled space. On the savage world known as SR-388, a biologic research team has just discovered something which should have been left forgotten beneath the surface.
This is a retelling of the Metroid story with a focus on worldbuilding and character development. It is also an experiment, being my first narrative work. Please let me know what you think-- not just about the story, but about the writing style, pacing, characterization, etc. I aspire to write original fiction, so your criticism at this point will be immeasurably helpful and greatly appreciated.Series

Summary
In the depths of ZDR, she finds she's not alone. She finds someone wearing the same armor as her. Someone she doesn't remember knowing.
But she does.
He's on the other side. Whoever he is. He looks at her, and maybe whatever humor he'd had is gone now, the bafflement edging into his gait alongside something else. Something grounding, relieving. An unspoken, shared thought. 'Jesus Christ. I'm not alone. Just once, I'm not alone.Then the beast lunges again, and they both take aim.
