Gabbro used to be scared of death when they were a hatchling. the thought of nonexistence deeply unsettled them, and the fact that it could all simply stop, end without warning, led to many nights they didn't get a wink of sleep. as the years went by, they thought they got over the fear. they even joined OWV and went to space, by far one of the most dangerous things a hearthian could do. one day, though, they found themself trapped in a time loop of infinite death. it wasn't painful, really, and it wasn't true death either. they kept existing. and so did the well-hidden fear. they had all the time in the universe to ponder: what did it all mean, was this forever, would they ever get out, would they even want to get out? eventually the newest pilot, the one actually working their ass off during the time loops, learned of a way to end the loops. they explained it carefully, and it was almost too easy. they could turn the device off any loop they wanted, and Gabbro would be none the wiser. that truly awakened the worst of their fear. they could not let them kill Gabbro. however cruel the time loop was, being torn into an empty finality would surely be worse. everything they did was to convince their time buddy to keep the loops going, from subtle mind games to eventually outright begging. they knew they were selfish. they felt guilty. apologised after every loop ended. one loop, though, it wasn't Gabbro's voice that said "I'm sorry"

#OHHHHHHHH this is super super good ugh 🥹🥹#i really like this idea a lot….#i have the HC that gabbro didnt realize the supernova was unstoppable any more than the hatching did based on a couple things in game #and this kind of feels like an expansion of that/just similar vibes?#im chewing on this

Rip gabbro you wouldve loved the talking heads

You're all grown up.

It's not like Gabbro couldn't visit Felspar during the loops. It's just that they're happy they get to meet Feldspar when there is an actual future ahead of them.

Dear lord I've never read fics before but I don't think I'd be able to read any others after yours, they would NOT compare. Should I have binged up to MECO ch. 6 until 4am? ABSOLUTELY sleep is for the weak and employment doesn't exist. How DARE I feel emotions (God it hurts so bad this is a good thing I swear). And it gets BETTER? Cannot wait for more suffering (again this is a compliment I swear).

Hello @bugsbugginout 👋

Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoy my writing! 🥺💕

However, rest assured there are plenty of excellent Outer Wilds fanfics out there that are way better than mine!

Here are some I would highly recommend:

Interpolation by @tippertot

The Best the World Had to Offer by @merrydock

Off the Marshmallow Stick and Into the Fire by @awanderingmuse

Constellations in the Sand by @cosmosogler

A Sense of Humour Never Hurt by gravityandgrace

But While I'm Here I Know I'm still Alive by @2isted-chocol8-art

And There Was Light by @crvdematter

I will be there at the end of it all by @estechnolich

Enjoy ☺️

Love, Jadie

Lots of great recs already; I'll add some of my own. Surprising no one, my recommendations will mostly be

✨time buddies flavored✨ because I am ✨predictable✨

and also, just a note that these are definitely not all of the OW fics that I have read and loved. There are so, so many good ones out there, and I couldn't possibly list them all.

every word is a word made for saying goodbye by anodymalion This one's already been recommended once, but if you only read one fic from this list, I hope it's this one. I hold this fic close to my heart always. It's a beautifully-written take on what Gabbro's last few loops might look like and I cry every time.

feel alive by tippertot Time buddies hurt/comfort with some fantastic angst. This one is very visceral and raw in a good way.

Eighteen Degrees North by gravityandgrace A slightly unconventional story told from the perspective of Gabbro's ship as it floats on Giant's Deep. A very cool read.

What Are You To Me by sleepii_moth Short-n-sweet exploration of what it means to be time buddies.

Okay For Now by Vililae Short-n-sweet time buddies fluff.

Refraction by TheLesserNeph Listen, every fic in the postcards series is good and this one just so happens to have time buddies in it so-

half-remembered dream by crowsanarchy Really interesting take on the ending where you end the loop and board the Stranger.

#ahhhhh thank you so much for the shout!!!#I was just scrolling through the recs here and got jumpscared by my own work lol #that made me so happy #saving a bunch of these on this list to go through too :D

I’m not sure how many hours I spent on this little guy but Proto-Esker is all done!

I’m so pleased with how they turned out! Modelled in Nomad Sculpt and hand painted and textured in Procreate. Shown with standard and environmental lighting, hehe!
