Summary
"This is fascinating! Not only have I finally managed to reach the sixth location of the fabled Quantum Moon, but after spending an interminable amount of time here, I seem to have encountered a member of an unknown alien species!
"This species seems to be spacefaring, as the being before me not only appears to be wearing a pressurized suit much like my own, but also seems to be equipped with a most ingenious translation device! I never imagined that I would be making first contact on my quantum pilgrimage, but as I am the only Nomai currently on the Quantum Moon, it falls to me to establish communications!
"I will record my observations in this voice log so that future Nomai can learn from this firsthand account."

Summary
Finding a kid at a murder scene? Unfortunate, but not entirely uncommon. Many murderers, and burglars that have resorted to violence, either weren’t able to bring themselves to kill the kid, didn’t think there was any use killing the kid, or simply didn’t even know there was a kid to kill and, therefore, it left the officers first on the scene with a nasty surprise of a crying child asking about their dead carer or family member. It wasn’t fun, but it was how the world worked. Parents had kid, murderer kills parents, kid gets interrogated before being finally put in the care system when they have nothing more to say.
However, finding a kid at a murder scene when they have no idea who the murder victim was? That was a new one.

Summary
They shifted their grip slightly, grabbing onto a different part of the ledge, and the stone broke apart under one of their claws. Ghost’s soul lurched in their chest. They tried again, one hand tightly gripping the mantis claw, the other searching for purchase on the rock. After a harrowing moment they finally found a handhold, but the vessel felt as though it was going to give at any second.
They glanced down again, trying to reassure themselves that the ground wasn’t all that far away—
But suddenly, the ground was far away. Much further than just four feet. In fact, they couldn’t see the ground at all; it was just them, this rocky ledge, and nothing but open air below.
The little shadow stiffened, their soul clenching in the way they’d come to identify as fear. They were very high up, and there was a long way for them to fall.
Or: Ghost has a flashback when they get stuck hanging over the edge of a four foot drop. Hornet tries her best to help

Summary
Following the events of Prey, Project Cobalt yields the first successful attempt in a long series of experiments implanting mirror neurons in a Typhon. Outside of the rebuilt Talos station, humanity struggles to survive on the Martian and Lunar colonies. As the coral spreads, the pressure on the team behind Cobalt continues to grow.
'Morgan' is now tasked with becoming the bridge between the two species, but first he needs to learn how to be human. It would be a daunting enough task without the phantom memories, the nightmares, and the increasing evidence that not everything is as it seems.

Summary
I can think like a human, but I am also Us. We have no name for Ourselves, for We were all we knew before contact.
Alex stretches his hand out towards me, palm open.
There is a very small part myself that is compelled to rip him apart, and consume him.
But it is only one part of me.
I have a choice. To mirror him or to annihilate him.Bookmarked by everydaygremlin

Summary
Gordon Freeman takes a day off work to attend an appointment outside Black Mesa. He navigates everyday situations while trying not to seem like a dumb, tardy mute to everyone.
----
From the dawning look of understanding and sympathy on her face, Gordon was once again affirmed that it was instantly, readily accepted that it was a physical disability preventing him from speaking. That he was a normal guy despite not talking. That he didn't have a humiliating mental lock that had persisted since childhood.

Summary
Funny enough, living in an abandoned watchtower just outside of civilization does not mean the taps work let alone have hot water. Luckily, the river nearby has a perfect place for washing up, if not the warmest. It didn’t cross your mind that your neighbor’s cave would have the same problem.

A great source of despair draws Nightmare to an abandoned AU. There he finds an unfinished Sans with no name, no companions, no purpose, no world, and a soul.

In return the Bad Sanses give him a home, companions, a life, and a name. They call him Ink.
Or: Before he can destroy his soul and enter the Doodle Sphere, Ink is recruited by Nightmare. He accepts his role as best he can, even if he sometimes feels like he is meant for something more.
