    Summary

    Remirez Ayana hasn't had a great life. Born quirkless, they wanted to be a hero.
    They had a crisis of faith.
    When they were 7, they looked up, and saw the universe, smiling down on them.
    when they were 8, a bad day goes worse as they wake up trapped in another world, burdened with a galactic war to fight in as a child.
    4 simulations over 6 years, and an extra 9 months, the journey from war torn soldier to rescue vigilante was a shock to their system. Vigilante to UA student? That might be a little much. But they're confident in their skills, and as long as they keep the power that whisked them away under lock and key, they should be fine and safe.

    ...Right?

    Summary

    Trying to play the time loop off as a dream worked the first time, but after the second time Corun dies to a supernova they have to face reality:

    They're stuck in a time loop.
    The Nomai have something to do with this.
    22 minutes is an absurdly short amount of time to do anything.

    This will be a retelling of Outer Wilds with cherry-picked moments for the narrative and a few twists that I have up my sleeve!

    Summary

    Sanidine is ready to get out into space, and nothing is going to stop them from hopping into their ship and becoming the new best there ever was. They'll solve the mysteries of the Nomai, find the truth behind their missing idol, and advance Hearthian exploration more than ever before, with the help of the translator that they built with Hal and a brand new ship Slate calls their finest work yet. Their launch day is going so well, until suddenly it isn't. A chance encounter with a new artifact in the museum sends them rocketing to Giant's Deep, seeking out Gabbro right away to talk about a shared experience.

    It's the first of many shared experiences the pair have, as they come to realize their situation. Faced with the reality that the only person either of them can turn to is the other, they're soon forced to learn what it really means to catch someone when they've got nowhere else to fall, and to let themselves be caught in turn. And if they can do that, then maybe, just maybe, they can save the universe... or at least save each other.

    Summary

    The light of the exploding singularity is brighter than anything Obsidian has ever imagined. Breathtaking as a spark of hope when they thought everything was lost. Obsidian would know, they'd worn that feeling like a second skin, loop, after loop, after loop. The feeling still holds them even as pure light, pure possibility, consumes them. Then, nothing.

    Obsidian wakes up…

    Summary

    “Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”

    They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.

    You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”

    Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”

    or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

    Summary

    Throughout Feldspar's hatchlinghood and career as an astronaut, they've had this weird feeling in their chest anytime their best friend is around.

    They don't get why Gossan makes them feel this way or why they keep getting drawn in by their laugh, or their smile, or void forbid their lips...

    But they do and they can't for the life of them tell if it's a good feeling or one that will lead to future heartache.

    ---
    Or

    5 Times Feldspar almost kissed Gossan and the one time they did

    (the title is just a placeholder, forgive me. I'll think of a clever one later)

    Summary

    No one really knows what to expect in the Outer Wilds, past some very educated guesses. There are still dangers to discover at every turn, but Outer Wilds Ventures has done well enough for themselves using an advanced combination of research and luck. That seems to be enough, until it really isn't and Timber Hearth's finest astronaut gets themselves stranded in Dark Bramble. Now no one knows what to do next, but it's the Hearthian way to carry on.

    Summary

    The hatchling has reached the eye of the universe, and despite everything, it's so hard to let go of the present. They gather everyone around the campfire, and for one final time, sing the travelers song to the universe.

    The past will always affect the future, even if they can’t see it.
    However, it’s time for something new, now.

    The little scout crash lands onto a strange new planet 14.3 billion years later, interrupting a meeting between the two species who inhabit the planet. Cedar, an Acridocel, and Alyonsia, an Aulofin, don’t speak a lick of the same language. The music in the stars bonds them together, a tune that rang in their hearts.

    They start to unravel the mysteries of the strange object, the past it represents, and the future it allows them to seek. Tangled in cultural issues, a looming storm, and a long burnt out fire, Cedar and Alyonsia reach for the stars in hopes of understanding their past, and hopefully guide their future.

    Summary

    Voici un journal de mon parcours de jeu (playthrough) d'Outer Wilds. J'y joue en français, donc les noms risquent de changer par rapport à la plupart des travaux ici. Je l'écris à la première personne, à travers les (quatre) yeux du personnage principal.
    Il y a évidemment beaucoup de spoilers, alors ne le lisez pas si vous avez l'intention d'y jouer un jour !

    Je n'ai pas terminé le jeu, alors pas de spoils svp ! Commentez uniquement sur les événements déjà mentionnés.

    Summary

    A story loosely based on Outer Wilds, because that game has changed lives, and I don’t want to let it go in my head.
    The main canon deviation is the fact that the Travelers have a gender. It doesn’t affect the story in any way, I just find it easier to write with he/she pronouns instead of using they or their names all the times. Please don’t take this the wrong way, I'm supportive of everyone in the LGBTQ community, and agender or trans people are as valid as everyone else. If you think otherwise, get off my fanfic. That being said, using 'they' can lead to confusion who is being meant in a conversation, and the change is merely for clarity. I hope you understand.
    The list goes as follows, and will be updated when more characters become important:
    Chert: female
    Slate: female
    Feldspar: female
    Hal: female
    Riebeck: female
    Gossan: male
    Esker: male
    Gabbro: male
    Hornfels: male
    Hatch (protagonist): male

    The first chapter is about Feldspar who has a wish for Slate.

    enjoy :)
