Summary
Why was he doing this? Why wasn’t he taking care of himself? It didn’t understand how robots or machines worked but even the sparse metal of their tools eroded in the rain over time. They had to be taken care of as they wore out. They had to be cleaned, they needed polishing and vinegar and steel wool, it knew for a fact Andre had some stored somewhere—
Even that wore down the material.
Even the most well-kept tools had to be replaced eventually.
Pockmarked steel. Wear on the wiring. Andre could not replace where he wore away. Rust and wear ate and ate and ate at him and he was so, so different from the basic tools they maintained at home. It did not know how to repair a frayed wire. Andre was the only electrical thing in Collin’s whole world, as far as it knew.
Confused fury drowned in a stark, frigid terror.
(Andre was never meant to live long. He cannot stand to acknowledge it, let alone accept a solution. Assimilation cannot stand to watch him deteriorate.)

Subject: DMS
Department of metaphysical sciences. I haven’t personally been able to find more outside of what wifies dug up. I think they’re like a modern day MK ultra? Genuine mind control shit it’s insane. They kept Alex online for actual years. I still can’t really wrap my head around it. Wifies found him and said he freed him but like he’s still there, I think. Physically or being forced to do something else. I don’t know why the DMS would let him go so I’ve been looking into it on and off for the past year. But there’s not much. It’s been nagging at me ever since.Brady C. [email protected]

Alex was the name of my friend btw. Should’ve added that. Sorry I’m kind of all over the place about finding you haha. the video wifies did is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmL4kosieGsAvery [email protected]

Avery finds out there might be a small possibility Derek is alive. He just hopes these Internet strangers help him out.

Summary
You are an expendable. You work hard to follow the Blacksite's rules and push yourself another inch toward victory, toward freedom. Everything has a counter, and you've died in every manner imaginable learning them. Everything has a reason why it behaves the way it does.
Mr. Lopee himself is the counter to expendables like you who don't keep up or, as you learn, slip through the cracks. Nobody knows anything about him. All it takes is one glitch in the Blacksite's convoluted system to make you curious. The feeling is mutual.
Maybe you can work toward something other than running in Urbanshade's useless rat race.

(Or: You become Mr. Lopee's favorite expendable.)

Summary
Nobody saw Holloway die. The teleporter unceremoniously dumped his mangled body onto the ship for all to see. Nobody saw him die, but with the state of his corpse, the remaining crew could hazard a guess as to what killed him. They weren't a fan of coil-heads, anyway.
His body is left on the ship, and Balthazar—Bal, to her crewmates—starts to lose it, just a little bit.
(Or: The scientific name for coil-heads are "Vir colligerus." Vir are a genus of shrimp. Isn't that neat?)

Summary
A story about a masked who encounters its host's crew.
you had a body is the first; there are two branches from there. These branches are different endings, or paths, to you had a body, equally true; I couldn't decide which one to write, so there's both! (And then I got attached to that second ending; and now there's a sequel to a sequel.)
First 4 fic titles are snippets from Famous Prophets (Minds) by Car Seat Headrest.
Any stories after these first 4 are just me playing more with the world; these OCs hold a special place in my heart and I like putting them in situations :)

Summary
A somewhat chronological menagerie of a particular story. Or is it just a group of ocs, if there's little coherent story? Oh well.
Actual description for the maybe-story: A man falls out of reality, and then falls back in many years later. It takes some time to readjust to everything, but it happens. The world is weird.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

Summary
Less than 2 months away from Erid. In the process of the Hail Mary evading an exoasteroid, Rocky falls from top to bottom of the ship.
In normal circumstances, Rocky could shake it off. Maybe a little sore, but okay.
In this case, Rocky cannot.
Rocky is scared.

Summary
Derek Hutchins survived the impossible. Now he has to survive something harder: being taken care of.
Avery is very good at this. Derek is very bad at accepting it. They are both, slowly, figuring it out.
A collection of soft moments set after the end of everything, grocery runs and bad Skywars games and 2am conversations and learning, little by little, what it means to just exist without the weight of the universe pressing down.
Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.
They did. This is what comes next.
