    Summary

    Stanley had done nothing differently, yet somehow he exited The Stanley Parable (he supposes). Confronting the fact that he's never been real before, he lands a job as junior project assistant at the Preservation Institute where stories are being kept alive.
    What dark secrets does this building hold? Does he dare to tackle the terrible truth?

    You can take Stanley out of the Parable, but you can't take the Parable out of Stanley.

    Summary

    When Dib Membrane sets out to retrieve two bizarre cores orbiting the moon, firmly believing the talking metal spheres are alien in origin, he could never be prepared for what they would lead him to: a missing test subject, an irksome kidnapped alien, a sprawling deathtrap of an underground laboratory, a godlike AI with a vendetta against the cores, and secrets about himself that he'd never dared to acknowledge. If he is to escape with his life, and the lives of those he's gathered along the way, he must confront it all.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    All portal characters are very well written, even though this author seems to be more of a Invader Zim fan. Lots of moving parts to the plot, everybody moving with different intentions... plenty of buildup to the main story instead of "x character wakes up in testing, oh nos", which makes the whole thing more satisfying. Body horror mostly centered around Zim and GLaDOS's malicious curiosity to have a real alien to study. Unique core characters, even. I love this and I'm on my third rereading as I write this.

    Summary

    After being released from Aperture, Chell spends months struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where society has regressed to a point where people are divided, distrusting, and violent. Meanwhile, GLaDOS has found that current-day humans make terrible test subjects due to their fear of technology and belligerence. When someone attacks and nearly kills Chell, GLaDOS takes the opportunity to bring her back to the facility and make her test in exchange for medical attention. Forced to work together to survive, they try to make the best of their situation. Gradually, the two begin to trust each other, and realize that they need each other in more ways than one.

    I have been obsessively rereading this completely every time a new chapter comes out and just as obsessively refreshing the page waiting for the next chapter sometimes multiple times a day. Highly recommend if you're into Portal, it's awesome.
