Summary
Malachite and Hal didn’t fight often. Sure, they had little squabbles here and there, but rarely anything that boiled over into a full-on fight that lasted for more than a day. But when they did, Malachite found they could bring a bowl of soup to their friend to show they were there to make peace and then explain themself.
Sure, it worked when they were younger, but Malachite isn’t sure it’ll work now. They’re willing to try anything at this point, though, so what do they have to lose? (Their best friend, possibly. And all because they said something dumb.)
Or
Malachite and Hal have a few bumps in the road after the Loops end. Malachite was never good with words, so they decide to use a tactic that never failed them when they were younger. (Stars, they really hoped it wouldn’t fail them now.)

Summary
It was stupid to be here. But it’s already been too long of them standing and moping against the Observatory entrance so they probably wouldn’t even get anything done. They might as well go check their Ship Logs or maybe go update their recordings that they’ve wasted —
“Hey!”
A voice startles them enough that they let out a yelp.
The sound of their closest friend laughing under their breath makes their own hitch.
Or
Malachite stays on Timber Heath for a Loop (maybe two). It goes about as well as you’d expect.

Summary
Riley was never sure of what the building Playtime Co. used had going on. Even when they were interning there. But, a planned to be ‘quick visit’ in and out after receiving a letter telling them everyone was still there turns into a long game of chase with monsters still left in the building. And along with realizing the gory horrors Playtime had hiding just under the surface, they learn that they cannot die. Whether through some supernatural force or their mind being their worst enemy.
Seems there was a lot more down here than they anticipated.
Or
Riley dies and comes back. This happens many times. And it’s added to the ever-growing list of things to figure out in the deep bowls of the factory.
O r
An idea for an AU of an AU that I kept mulling over before I was finally pushed over the edge to write it.

I don’t know you. You’re just a thing in the dark. by Spaced_Out_Tiger

Summary
“What is my name?”
“Angel, I don’t think this is necessary—”
“If you really are DogDay, which I doubt you are, you can say my name.”
Riley took a step back, as if challenging DogDay—no—this thing in the dark to approach the light. To approach them.
“Angel,” the nickname felt wrong from the creature. “I swear it’s me!”
“Say. My. Name.” They demanded again. “I’ve told you my name—Say. It.”
Why were they arguing? It was obvious this wasn’t him. Maybe they were just hoping it was. That he would say something. Anything.The thing in the dark did not reply.
Or
Riley has a run-in with DogDay in the dark.
After talking to him some, they piece together quickly that the thing in the dark is not DogDay.

Summary
The other Hearthian flinches at the sudden contact, but they don't try to pull their arm out of their grasp. Hatchite lets out a long sigh, before turning back to face Hal. "I don't know if I'm okay. I don't know if I'm going to be okay again." They say. It almost sounds like a confession, and it only hammers the question of *what exactly happened to them on that Launch Day flight* further into their brain. They want to ask, they need to, they need to know what happened to their best friend so they can help them through this. But they and everyone else have already asked a million times, and they haven't gotten any closer to understanding what really happened.
Or
Hal tries to reconnect with their best friend after something happens on their Launch Day flight.

Summary
When one universe is destroyed . . . another is created.
Hatchling witnessed the end of it all. Right in front of their eyes. They thought they were dead.
Until they woke up in a strange new world, unaware of where they were or how much time had passed.
Nothing told them where it was. No map, Signalscope, or Scout guidance to go off of. They didn't know where their ship was, or any more fuel for their jetpack.
They were stranded.
They were alone.But not for long.
