Hearthian Grammar by TransienceRealized
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game), Original Work
17 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Hearthian (kii Blaaz, "the Speech") is an obscure language spoken by a mere two individuals, the only survivors of the end of their world. This document describes the language in detail, providing dozens of example sentences and a lexicon. Familiar yet alien - just like the Hearthians themselves.

Summary
Can something shifting be anything other than a movement? When rules are broken, who is there to repair, and recycle? When roles are reversed, what are the consequences of stilted lies?
Curiosity is the heart in the orrery, the questions are the machine.

Summary
The universe won’t let you die.
You feel like you have all the pieces to the puzzle, and yet nothing clicks. You’ve given up. Maybe there really isn’t a way to make this end.
The thought makes you afraid. It makes you terrified beyond anything else the universe can thrust at you. You can’t keep going. You can’t keep living like this for another nine million loops. You are tearing apart at the seams and the thought of never dying terrifies you so deeply you—
The sun explodes. You wake up. You’ve stopped noticing when the sun goes red.
Slate grins. You stare at them and wonder when you stopped thinking of them as real.
—
A glimpse into the mind of Hatchling, and what an eternity of undying would do to them.

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
How much time has passed? They don't even bother to hunt you anymore. Time passes, and passes, until your life before is some half-remembered dream. If only you could wake up.

Gabbro's Accelerated Course on Learning to Let Go by Tkhan0
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game)
01 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
They catch a distant star exploding into dust on the ascent up, noticing as several other stars twinkle and expand as well, warning that a similar fate is soon to befall them. The sight of the night sky all bloated and sparkling is as beautiful as it is haunting.
But then they crest above the atmosphere and planet entirely, and a sense of pure cosmic dread fills them.
Their sun is swollen and a sickly red, all bubbling and angry. Gabbro vaguely remembers it being described as the red giant stage.
But being taught about it and viewing it on the cute little model in the museum is leagues different from actually seeing it with their own four eyes.
For Gabbro, the first few loops had been the worst.

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
The Hatchling fumbled the fingers of their gloves together and turned their helmet away. “I’m not just going to- I mean, I want you to come with me.”
Gabbro stared while they ambled after their thoughts, which had scattered across the many winds of Giant’s Deep.
“Gabbro?”
Their ears bumped against the inside of their helmet as they returned to attention. They rolled their shoulders and went back to laying in their hammock. That hadn’t been quite enough time to process an answer, but they found themself replying anyway. “Whatever you want to do, buddy. You’re the one with a dry ship. It’s your call.”Bookmarked by InsertReallyCreativeUsername

Tenets of Nomai Discovery and Exploration concerning the Eye of the Universe by euryydice for graiai
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game)
13 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
These tenets are shared between each, every, and all Nomai clans, and are to be upheld by each, every, and all Nomai clans. They are not to be altered, only added to, not to be ignored, only respected, not to be forgotten, only revered. All Nomai shall be taught of them, all Nomai shall teach of them. They are the way of Nomai life, they are the way of Nomai thinking, they are the way of Nomai existence.

A Spark of Kindness at the End of Everything by LutiasKokopelli for DragonFeather14
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game)
25 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
Gossan brute-forces their way into the time loop. Consequences be thrown to the bramble, if there can even be consequences anymore now; an astronaut or two desperately need their help. This is all that matters, when nothing else will; and perhaps, just perhaps, even a cut short life at the end of the universe can still have meaning.

Summary
The interloper flung itself from a different solar system after its explosion, meaning this one did not get covered in Ghost matter.
This means the Nomai live.
The question now is what do they do with this extra time (even though they are not aware they have been granted extra time)?
How will the search for The Eye of The Universe continue?

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
