Summary
Quartzite dies. And then they die again. Over and over they die, the loop running its course and dragging them to hell and back each time. Nobody believes them. Nobody knows.
Or
What would it be like to actually live through a time loop, dying and watching your friends die, seeing everything you’ve ever known and loved destroyed, and then coming back to a timeline where none of that ever happened but will happen again? How would the hatchling react in such a situation? How would it be being alone at the end of the universe, trapped watching its demise for eternity just after reaching what you’ve wanted your whole life?

The Definition of Living is Subjective by Zazibine for gravityandgrace
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game)
18 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
In which a young astronaut loved the universe so much that they killed themselves a thousand times over to save it, and whoever- whatever- is created from its ashes shall not perish but shall love as its creators once did.
Or, everyone wakes up after the end, including the inanimate objects. This is a good thing (probably).

Weird Fish Society Roles by Brumhilde (nebulouscinders)
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game)
08 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
"Our new theory is that there were two distinct categories – "
"We have a whole list of possible, like, culturally-significant splits, but – "
" – make more sense to be societal roles or some – ""Can you two chill?" Marl asked loudly. Their gaze was still unimpressed, but there was the beginning of a smirk tugging at their lips. "Take a breath. Sit down. You don't need to be climbing in Riebeck's lap to talk weird fish society roles, or whatever it is you're ranting about like that."

Have you ever wondered how Hearthians came up with gendered pronouns?
Have you ever wished to read about the process in excrutiatingly specific linguistics details?
No? Can I interest you in some worlbuilding, then? Campfire banter? Anything?Series

Summary
Phyllite didn’t respond after that, and then Gabbro couldn’t breathe.
Their deaths were connected, in a way. If Gabbro missed their hammock coming down, Phyllite would die as well. Their ribs would be crushed, and their breath knocked out of them.
If Phyllite missed the mark or didn’t slow down in time, Gabbro would also feel the effects. That’s how the loop restarted perfectly. They had to die together, or they wouldn’t both be in the same loop.
Gabbro closed their eyes, feeling the breath leave their lungs. Blue light filled their vision, and they saw their memories replay.Gabbro hated when Phyllite had to go through that. Gabbro wished they would just stay with them the whole time, for the whole loop.
But Phyllite wasn’t like Gabbro, and they wouldn’t ever be able to stay in one place for as long as Gabbro could.
Gabbro’s radio crackled to life, a voice calling out to Gabbro. “Gabbro, come in! This is Slate of the Outer Wilds Ventures!”

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.
1) Feldspar- The Greatest Adventure P.1: In which Feldspar is Hatchling's parent in every way that matters.
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.
8) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 6: In which we lose Feldspar for a bit.
9) Space-Touched Travelers- P. 7: In which there is light.Series

In Accordance with the Laws of Thermodynamics by Quartzitedecadence

Summary
The way life occurs, it just makes sense with the laws of physics. Physics govern all parts of the universe, but it's always hard to stomach. You just couldn't understand how the sun could just... supernova out of nowhere.
You need to talk to someone, and there's only one person you have in mind.

Summary
Welcome to the Timber Hearth Police Department, where you don't quit your side-job because there just isn't enough crime to go around to make a decent living being a cop.
Until now, that is...A modern AU where Hearthians, Nomai, and Owlks coexist in all their diverse, awkward, misunderstood, and sometimes, terrifying glory.
Cultural satire, comedy, action, drama, mystery, intrigue, and a touch of romance ensues...
