Summary
The world's ended, and you're stuck on board an environmentally sealed rock, trying desperately to survive.
Without hope for a world that is lost, or the weight of your own actions, a few souls yet linger; trying, and failing to do the right thing.
In the depths of despair, the truest parts of us are revealed; and the question remains:
How far would you go to protect coworkers whom you don't even like, from hell on earth..?
Musical ambience provided every chapter.An surreal novelisation of id's Doom 3, and a whole lot more beside; but it's really just original fiction that follows The People You Know from Work as they try to stay alive.
Although the second installment in a series, you can choose to read it first, and it chronologically is.
The only thing you might miss are a few small nods, and the fact That Infernal Machine gives away the ending.Content warnings in the first author's notes at the chapter's end - nothing too objectionable in the first chapter.
Let's see if this one can be updated more then a few times per year.Series

Summary
The world's ending, and of all those left alive, they had to send the pacifist.
With ever-diminishing hope, and the increasing strain of an alien world bearing down upon him -
Gerald Copeman struggles to remain sane and do the right thing...
Even when the very definition of what is right shifts, twists, and alters around him.
Now includes musical ambience with every chapter.An incredibly surreal novelisation of id's Quake, and a whole lot more besides.
Intended to feel like a fever-dream after an FPS marathon in the dead of winter -
With the The Thing playing on repeat in the distant background.Expect amateur philosophy, ultra-violence, fanservice and horror, or probably just horror masked as fanservice.
Updated aftertwosixten years.Series

Summary
Despair can go and happen some other time, or so a capricious Junko tells her astounded sister. Now, purposeless and adrift, Mukuro has to attempt to fit into Hope's Peak on her own. Plays fast and loose with the timeline. A story of a smaller kind of despair; the other sister's unpleasant dream. Some ship teasing.

Summary
What you're about to read is a story based off the excellent old Sierra adventure game, Lighthouse: the Dark Being.
A year ago or so, I discovered that Alien Arcana over at the archive did a let's play of the game - and was awash in all the good memories. Figured now was as good a time as any to write a story in commemoration of all that. If you're just here for porn, buckle up for a bit . And if you actually like the game, like I do - don't let my gendering of the protagonist as a dude stop you from writing your own stories. One of the perks of games like this was that the protagonist could be pretty much anyone, or anything - I just choose to write 'em as a dude because it's what I'm familiar with. That out of the way - please enjoy, and thanks for reading.
I've done my best to make the story as lonely and soul-searching as the original game 'felt' without getting into melodrama. There's sex and a lot of talking - but I believe those add to the story, not detract from it. Whether I succeeded or not - that's your call. But I very much enjoyed writing this, and I hope it may have some of the significance for you as it does for me.

Summary
A collection of tales that deal primarily with a world's end, the things that ensue, the aftermath - and the questions philosophical and moral that raises.
Technically count as id novelisations, but probably not the kind that would appeal to all players; weird fiction, with elements of xenofiction abound.- Words:

Ingenious Gentlemen and the Persistence of Memory by muldezgron

Summary
In the year 2E 582, Molag Bal attempted to merge his plane of Oblivion with Nirn in an event known as the Planemeld, but was thwarted by a hero known as the Vestige and his companions, as guided by the Daedric Prince of Light, Meridia. Two eras later, in 4E 201, the Vestige is killed in his home, respawns in Coldharbour, and hatches a bizarre plan for vengeance on Molag Bal which is definitely not an ego-sparing cover for recovering his soul.
This is not his story (probably). This is the Tale of the Gallant Knight of Coldharbour (maybe) who sets out to help his dear friend the Vestige on his Noble Quest (possibly) and is 100% Totally Fine No Problems Thanks For Asking.

Summary
----
Time passed in the windowless Windhelm prison by only three distinct markers: the daily administration of magicka-suppressing poison, the forced feeding every two days, and the erratic but frequent visits from the Nord.
Eventually, when Corimir had been forced to accept that the Thalmor would not authorize a rescue mission for a single captured soldier, death didn’t seem like such a terrible fate.
----
In which a prisoner of war is rescued, though hardly saved, learning that the path of recovery is not well-trodden but a mess of brambles.

Summary
--
Sarel is not like other children.
First of all, he was adopted. Second, he is blind.
Third, (and while some may argue most importantly, though Sarel disagrees), he is Falmer.
--
"Found" by an Altmer researcher and scholar with the College of Winterhold, Sarel's existence has remained a relative secret, hidden behind the stone walls of the college. All of this changes on his eleventh birthday, when a mysterious stranger appears at the college doors asking after him.
