Summary
Slate frantically ran up the stairs towards the observatory, looking around.
“Mica?” Mica was also just as shaken.
“Slate? What was that?” Their face was frightened as they stared at them.
“I don’t-”
But they cut themselves off as they heard something… almost like whispering at first. But it was getting louder, and Slate realized it sounded like whooshing air.
And what was that bright, blue light?
And why was it getting hotter all of a sudden?
Slate suddenly gasped as a roar washed over them. They frantically looked around them, seeing that the sky was too bright. Impossibly so. It lit up the entire night sky so much that they couldn't see the stars anymore.
But then, it was gone.
Slate stared in confusion and terror at the sky for a few seconds, as if they were waiting for the strange light to return, before they tilted their head back down and looked around frantically.

Hatchling found the coordinates to the eye, they found the ash twin twin project, they should be ready, right? But first they need to say goodbye to one of the few people that (kinda) believed them about the loops.

Summary
While the rest of the village prepares for the winter season, Hal seems to be having pronoun trouble, and only their friends can help. Translating the Nomai language is proving to be a challenge, especially for a group of idiots who've never heard of gender. Meanwhile, the hatchlings outside play an ever-growing game, and it seems Chert's been sucked into the black hole of chaos. Can Hal keep cool, keep their stomach, and keep their wits about them as they push forward in the name of linguistics?
Created as a companion to art pieces by @pancakemolybdenum and @desisthegame / @pebblewsa on Tumblr. Written for the Collapsed Stars Reverse Mini Bang event hosted by the community-run Outer Wilds Events discord.

Summary
Alunite’s been flying for Outer Wilds Ventures since before Tephra and Galena learned how to walk, and over time they’ve become the space programs leading provider of all things Nomai.
Hundreds upon hundreds of ancient nomaian text samples? acquired. Bone samples? you’ve visited the museum, haven’t you? Miscellaneous trinkets and tools such as worn clothes, rusted utensils, broken technology and one particular nomaian doll with crumbled limbs and withered seams? gathered and graciously mourned.
They’ve visited Brittle Hollow in particular more times than they can count on their fingers but with their last voyage losing them their audio-log recorder and temporarily grounding them for medical reasons, Alunite knows what they have to do to set things right.
They’ll return to Brittle Hollow, temporarily revoked piloting licence be damned, and they’re going to find their missing audio-log if it’s the last thing they ever do.
What they don’t know is where they’ll find it,
and that in order to find it,
they need to fall.

Summary
Estimating the original magnitude of Hornfels' supernovae from the light curve of your models, you notice another. Two degrees south, it blossoms in a flash of blue heat and then begins to fade into something pale and cinder-dull.
You smile to yourself, tapping a little roll on the edge of your drum, and note it down as well. Timber Hearth is facing the wrong direction to see this one, so you will be the one to tell Hornfels about it. You're sure they'll be delighted to hear it.
Chert and a dozen half-hours they will never remember.
