Summary
"There's something down there," you say, as afternoon light catches something metallic in the subterranean caves, something unknown flashes like the sun on the scales of the silver fish that swim in the river outside the crater.
"Gabbro says that before Slate made the big rockets, they used the geysers to help launch the first ships. We were too little to remember. Lots of the first ships didn't make it. The water came up and just blew them apart."
"Gabbro says a lot of things. Gabbro says there are trees that move around when you're not looking at them."
"Gabbro's going to be a real astronaut soon," Hal says, and you can feel their forehead wrinkle in doubt. Gabbro is the best at stories, but they're also the best at tricks and pranks, so it's a tough call which of you is more right.
You both fall into thoughtful silence, and if you squint against the dark and the deep you can kind of identify the silver something as a fuel canister, or maybe a tin of salted fish. But that might just as well be regular old garbage from when the grown ups stay up too late and drink too much, and not the remains of a broken rocket that couldn't make it into space.
It's a thought worth thinking about, though.

Summary
It's easy to forget, when your memories are being sent back through time, that the "you" those memories came from might keep on living. It's easy to forget, in the middle of creating new timelines every twenty two minutes, that you might have already been here before. It's easy to forget a lot of things -- until you finally remember them.
Then they're the hardest things in the universe to forget.
(A self-indulgent exploration of time travel, the universe, quantum, and the Hearthian at the center of it all. Spoilers for Outer Wilds and the Echoes of the Eye DLC; if you haven't experienced both, go do that!)

Summary
"You never told me what you saw out there, buddy." Coop tells him, softly, out on the porch one night.
"The data I collated from beyond the event horizon didn't survive the return trip," TARS says, "because I wasn't built for that shit. NASA doesn't make robots in five dimensions."
Cooper nods, somber, and flips the beer bottle top in his palm between his fingers (one dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions, four - )
"I'm telling myself that, too, slick," Cooper murmurs.+
(And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light)Bookmarked by JayFlayer

Summary
"Huh, Gabbro? What's wrong?" Riebeck asks, and Chert says with vindictive glee, "That's what I said!"
"Is it really so hard to believe that I'd call my two best friends just to see how they're doing?" Gabbro asks.
"Yes," they both say in unison.

Summary
There's only so much you can do to in a 22 minute time loop that ends in the sun going supernova. You've tried a whole lot of what you can do, but at some point, there's a change that needs to happen, and you have to try something new.
So you can try to fix it, or give up. You're leaning on the former.
But as you realize, it's a painfully hard job to keep a dying universe from going out completely.

Summary
The red head of the match glances off the box in a clumsy strike and is instantly alight. There is nothing interesting about the fire, really, other than the fact that Jon created it.
--
Or, Jon used fire to deal with Mister Spider when he was eight years old, and the Desolation has clung to him ever since.

Summary
There's a case missing at the London Police's headquarters.
They've stopped looking for it, and few even remember it, though it was quite famous in its day. Oficially, it's the murder of Jonah Bouchard, his brother James and wife Delilah, and the mysterious disappearance of their two sons, Elias Bouchard, and Jonathan Sims.
But that's only where the story starts.

Summary
Sasha fixed Tim and Martin with a glare that was deathly serious. “But why should that stop us? It is— or was, I suppose, given... everything— our literal job to investigate supernatural events. If the police won’t figure out what happened to the Institute, we’ll do it. Doesn’t everyone deserve that? Doesn’t Jon deserve that? ”
In the face of an unyielding apocalypse, the being that was once Jonathan Sims has a final, desperate idea. The archival assistants pick up the pieces.

Summary
Tommy leaves The Dream Team the same way he left Sam’s workshop and the same way he left his mom. With love and promises to call, and the knowledge that they can’t come to help. They’re too important to the war effort. But he has the contacts of a hundred Human criminals memorized forwards and backward. He’ll be okay.
Probably.
In the end, it's frighteningly easy to sneak aboard The Angel of Death. It probably wouldn’t be if Tommy didn’t have the teachers and family he does, so he’ll give them a pass this time. Once he’s integrated, though, he’s going to give their security a massive overhaul because he is a little insulted at how effortlessly he got in.

Summary
Red is a weapon made by the Superhuman Safety Commission. He has a mission, and he follows his orders.
It all falls apart when he is put on probation. Now using the identity Tommy Innit, he’ll have to survive as a discarded weapon.
But just because he isn’t with the commission anymore doesn’t mean he’s safe from the world of heroes and villains. He has his own stakes in this game, and he’s starting to discover that he wants to do more than survive. He wants to win.

Summary
Tommy thinks, generally, that he’s a good person. He’s had a couple of hiccups, but he’s not evil.
This, though? This has got to be hell.
---
Tommy dies, and then he wakes up- but this time, he's trapped in the body of an otome game character. Not just any character, either; no, because the universe despises him and everything he stands for, he's been reincarnated as Theseus Watson, a minor villain with a family that hates him.
Wonderful. This afterlife couldn't get any better.

Summary
AU where Tommy remembers that Sam offered him a safe place to stay.
After Logstedshire is blown sky-high, Tommy needs a place to go, and there's a seven-foot creeper hybrid that's more willing than to help him. Tommy doesn't know how much he trusts the help (especially with Sam's roomates), but he's willing to try.
It's not like he's got a lot of options, anyway. And anything is better than Dream.

Summary
Will J. Blaze III, space marine under the command of the UAC Corp., has to complete company-mandated therapy and rehabilitation or lose his job. His therapist enrolls him in the UAC's "Helping Hearts" program, which assigns him a ... rabbit? Are you kidding?
Or: How Doom Guy met Daisy. Contains lots of swearing, corrupt corporate BS, a resourceful grunt, and one scared bunny. No onscreen deaths of human or animal.
