Summary
A chatterbox conspiracy theorist, a laid-back realist, and a potentially stir-crazy big game hunter take a walk on a haunted moon and, expectedly, get haunted—Just not in the way they thought.
Just when he thought it couldn't get worse than the smell of Soulfire, there's a new oppressive feeling in the air.
[sort of continuation (not really? just that trio returning) of chapter two of Bury Me Shallow, "A Look Into Some Hunter Gossip". could probably be read alone]

Summary
Under pressure and request from both Osiris and Shin Malphur, Drifter seeks out the Young Wolf early in their exile. He's not sure he'd say it went well, but it certainly could've gone much, much worse. And hey; Shin was right, new friends are new friends.
Alternatively: Two rogue Guardians play horse plinko with each other before agreeing to an exchange of favors.

Summary
// 𝘋𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨?
They were supposed to be– No. Something’s wrong.
They’re supposed to be the last hope. The Light’s last argument against the Darkness.
This isn’t supposed to be happening.
// 𝘋𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬?
> In other words, Shin Malphur is in denial over his "end to last rites and final words" and drags Drifter down with him. Drifter really really doesn't want to be here nor interact with the Young Wolf, rather fresh into their exile. Shin says Win-Win, Drifter says Lose-Lose, and the Guardian is miserable in the background.Series

Summary
A new Lightbearer breathes his first panicked breaths, throwing the blanket off his resting place, and finds himself in a world that instead takes pity on him—Much to his displeasure.
But he’s been having strange dreams, and everyone warns him away from some strange… person? As more time goes on, and the warnings compound—he’s less and less sure of that notion, or if they even exist.
/Chapter 2 is set during Splicer, discussing Wolf and Crow's (and some others') positions

Summary
I've decided this dynamic occurs to me often enough to just... go ahead and make it a series. They're not actually related, so I guess its more organization. anyway yeah here. my works involving an outside POV (some guy) of the main character (the horrors) which involves being terrified of or otherwise terrorized by MC's existence/actions. yippee!!

Summary
The Young Wolf is in exile, accused of attempting to murder the Hunter Vanguard after the Queen's Wrath catches a glimpse of them holding the smoking gun that shot down Cayde-6's Ghost, Sundance. Here is a series of encounters the cast of characters has with the Guardian during their downward spiral and demonization by the people they once loved and gave everything to protect.
If you want more content on this AU than what the connected one-shots here offer, I have a tag dedicated to it on my tumblr, Orbdotexe, as the main writer for it. The Content Box keeps feeding me ideas, and me them, so!

Summary
The thing about Deimos, Vasko and everyone else knew, was that it wasn’t just a graveyard— in a graveyard, there were at least caretakers. There were at least ghosts.

Summary
Blade-Three, also known as Three, is the living weapon of the Watchers. Conditioned to follow orders, it is meant to use its considerable strength, combat abilities, and total loyalty to obliterate the enemies of the Watchers. Of course, the "following orders" part comes first, which is how, when Listener agent Martyn InTheLittleWood comes along with the right command words, he manages to steal it.
Now, instead of missions that make any sense, Three must navigate as Martyn and his roommate Jimmy attempt to teach it how to be human, or at least enough of a person to be itself. It would help if either Martyn or Jimmy knew how to be human either, and if they weren't falling apart at the seams after the death of an old friend.
(And of course, there's the matter of Three's original identity, a question no one thinks to ask...)
Or: in which Evo had a bad end, and five years later, the pieces that were left behind start to accidentally fall back together.

Summary
Any good market-fearing Corpus knows of the monstrous Betrayers. The beasts have been terrorizing their civilisation for years now. But few care about the mechanics behind their monstrosity.
To protect their holy Profit, the Corpus employ the services of one Alaitor Kub, Tech-Commander, and his Active Research team. Its goal: to analyse the Warframes, see what makes them work, and utilise the knowledge against them.
In time, Alaitor achieved that goal, and even got a glimpse into the vast backbone of collaborators and allies needed to support such a race of killers. Well, in a matter of speaking. Suffice to say that not everything is at is seems with the intrepid Tech-Commander...
Beware of Second Dream spoilers from chapter 4 onwards.
All chapters are first published on Reddit, but the fic is also posted here by popular demand. New chapters coming out at an irregular schedule.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tenno being socially inept, silly and strange (and absolutely bewildering to the Just A Guy (but not really) protag), amazing worldbuilding (builds on civilian life in-universe, and, as the title implies, reports on the mechanisms of the Warframes, the whole Cult of Profit thing with the Corpus, and more), and a main character who desperately wants everyone to stop calling him a hero but refuses to say it because of the benefits (which, honestly, he needs). He's just a silly little guy trying to make the most of the universe semi-actively trying to kill him <3
The first few chapters are research reports (per usual, and there's one in each chapter of the entire work, but the first ones are *just* the report), before getting into character-specific stories between the actual reports. The protag's hijinks are VERY entertaining to read through, especially because of how it is told.
Unfinished, but an amazing read I intend to come back to often!

Bookmarker's Notes
Originally wasn't going to read bc I don't use fanfiction.net, but honestly? One HELL of a read. Starts off with just two Solaris scavengers and kicks builds amazingly. Action packed, amazing world-building, great character dynamics, evolving plot (the escalations actually feel *good*), and you can tell when something's leading to something big--Very good plot twists. A lot of characters/POVs, but actually easy to follow and you look forward to next the switch to find out what everyone's doing.
Honestly, even without knowledge of Warframe, definitely recommend. You might have to look up a gun or two, but everything would be reference pictures for a clear mental image.
