Hilarious BloodyMary idea but honestly the ship doesn’t really appear for a while, bear with me on this.
So Adrian gets way too worried about Rocky while they’re separated and decides to shoot themself into space to follow after him. Maybe they’re alone, maybe others who were family of Rocky’s crew came with, idk. Point is, they miss Rocky by a week or so and only find the remains of the ship.
Through the remains they piece together that the whole crew is dead and believe Rocky is also dead but not from the radiation, but from the human Rocky called friend. Maybe or maybe not on purpose, dealer’s choice. (Rocky’s on his way home to where he THINKS Adrian is with Grace in tow, and can’t fix this misunderstanding rip)
Adrian is enraged and decides since Rocky is gone they have nothing waiting for them back on Erid and continues on to Earth to get answers, thinking Grace will be there
So Adrian gets there while only understanding pieces of broken English, whatever Rocky left on the ship of how to communicate with his human and whatever translation program they can cobble together.
Earth is understandably freaked by this alien ship appearing and there’s WILD miscommunication going on with Adrian demanding answers and Earth trying to defend itself, idc. What I was thinking is Earth tries to give Adrian a prisoner they don’t mind sacrificing to appease them and Adrian being more enraged by the idea that they would kill someone unjustly.
Adrian returns to Erid with their own emotional support human Simon

Simon as the only survivor of a ship mysteriously shot down from orbit while scanning for the remains of a previous research expedition, alone in an endless ocean
(normal ocean not blood. subnautica is horror but not Like That. Ellie can still be here tho i love her <3)
As he explores, he starts finding signs of other people - long abandoned mostly destroyed bases, recorded research logs at first and just rambling diaries later - and weird alien structures made of unknown metal
He knows the people in them are probably long dead, but listening to Dr. Grace's research logs is better than the silence
(the man is fun. he rambles and goes off on tangents (my work was on lifeforms not requiring water to evolve, why did they send me on an ocean planet???) and seems endlessly fascinated by everything here, so much so the next time Simon dodges a Stalker lunge he finds himself thinking about how cool they look instead of just that little fucker)
The deeper he goes, the more of the weird alien metal structures he finds, what seem to be some form of research facilities as well, until eventually, he meets them–
Dr. Grace from his PDA logs, inexplicably alive and hanging out in one of the alien buildings with a creature made of rock
Honestly from here this could go many directions. Kharaa can be a thing, the Eridians were researching it here and it escaped, 1:1 transplant of subnautica plot
Oh wait actually. I think there is a blood ocean. Not the entire thing though. Somewhere along the Lost River border - right at the edge of the Blood Kelp zone, and what a name! - the water transitions to blood. Or something close enough. Reason? Unclear. Leviathans in the area? Ellie <3
She was on the research expedition with Grace. They were colleagues. I'm rotating the relationship dynamics in my mind at the speed of light. But then something happened to her, very strongly related to the thing we're solving so they can get off planet
So if there is some bacterium the eridians were researching here, the blood thing + weird mutations are its fault. In that case Grace is probably not doing so good either but he's not a giant murderous eel so comparatively he's doing awesome :D
I'm thinking Grace and Rocky are physically in the lava castle, but due to the Blood Thing + Ellie, they can't actually get Out. Simon finds them through a portal and/or unwise Blood Exploration. Maybe we can keep the sea emperor leviathan my bestie and have her guide simon to them, and then to her for the cure, or maybe Grace and Rocky have figured something out and it's just an issue of Getting it Where it Needs to Be
Another thing that could be happening is Weird Eldritch Light in which case Good Luck to them <3 I think the sea emperor leviathan can eat it or something. she's cool enough to kill a god.
I was thinking of how to transplant the phm plot but honestly I'm now too attached to Blood Kharaa (working title) so I'm done for now
In either case, they figure out how to cure the thing, and maybe they can even still help Ellie, and they disable the quarantine enforcement platform so no more ships crash, but why would they return to wherever they came from? I'm not saying Grace actively didn't want to go on the mission but he absolutely didn't want to go on the mission, and he has no desire to abandon Rocky for a world that didn't want him. And Simon? Well we all know his deal, there's nothing waiting for him except a prison cell or more forced labour. They repair a portal to Erid, and there they all lived happily ever after. Or just on the floating island it has better scenery <3
So, I said I was thinking about making this in Subnautica 1... However... I'm watching Mark's gameplay of Subnautica 2 (part 9 specifically), and there's an audio log of someone saying "I can hear the tree. It wants me to go into the sea and... feed myself to it." Obviously, I couldn't help but think about Simon, right? Please tell me it's not just me.
Another thing. I have multiple ideas for this, what wont change is that the ship is going to be the movie one, for plot purposes (list under the break if you want to read it).
Idea 1: Rocky and Grace save Simon after going fishing. Rocky leaves. The taumoeba leak never happens. On the way back to Earth, after sending the beetles ahead, they crash into Planet Proteus (someway, somehow). Result: Rocky is not there. Grace and Simon get the chance to get to know each other a bit before chaos.
Idea 2: Rocky and Grace save Simon after going fishing. Then, either before Rocky leaves or after the taumoeba leak and them saving Rocky, they crash into Planet Proteus (someway, somehow). Result: Rocky is there. But also Grace and Simon get the chance to get to know each other a bit before chaos with some privacy.
Idea 3: Rocky and Grace save Simon before going fishing. While fishing they crash and then they get to Planet Proteus (someway, somehow). Result: More trauma, more angst, more confusion. Rocky is with them, but they barely know Simon.
Idea 4: Simon crashes on Erid. Adrian and Simon get to know each other. There's an expedition sent out to try and find Rocky. Simon, wanting to do something and to help, goes with Adrian (only them two cause it's a small expedition). The find the Hail Mary barely a month in. All four get in the Hail Mary (because it has all the data and things). Simon gives Grace food, which helps with the starvation. The four get to know each other while on the way back to Erid. Midway, they crash into Planet Proteus (someway, somehow). Result: Adrian and Rocky are both with them. Simon is a bit more "healed" from what happened in AT-5. They get to know each other a bit before chaos. There's more fic on the "before the scary ocean" part.
Note: In every idea in which Rocky ends up in Proteus, eridians can breathe and live in earth's atmosphere and can tone down their temperature, which would then become a survival mechanism.
Something that won't change no matter the idea is the fact that Simon will be part fish. This will include: gills, regenerated but mutated arm, depth pressure tolerance, and echolocation (he does not, however, have multiple vocal chords, so he can't speak eridian... not properly, at least, he does have perfect pitch and an inhuman vocal range)
So. I request and appreciate assistance in deciding, since I want people to enjoy what I write, so... Help?
Which idea do y'all like best?
Idea 1: Grace and Simon end up in Proteus
Idea 2: Grace, Simon and Rocky end up in Proteus
Idea 3: Grace, Simon, and Rocky end up in Proteus after crashing while fishing
Idea 4: Grace, Simon, Rocky, and Adrian end up in Proteus
Other (I'm open to different things I might not have thought about)
Voting ended onJun 16

Robin not being down with immortality when Al-An offers it is a common trope in fanfiction. And generally Al-Ans reaction is to simply think shes being irrational for no reason, but have we ever thought that to an architect, wanting to die in any capacity would be a sign of really fucking severe mental illness? Like imagine Al-An not just being upset, but extreamly worried that his has girl turbo depression and he never noticed. What would architect mental health improvement look like? What kind of whack shit would he force her to do to not want to die in 80 years?
please tell me I'm not the only one making subnautica fanart in 2024 I beg you
imagine being so suppressed by your sister's death and the tough situation in general that you cry all your eyes out and then under the margaret's not-so-willing supervision turn into a harsh hardcore survivor who befriends a whole ass alien which is so interested in your strange human nature that basically becomes your helper-killing machine
just some thoughts which i can't call a complete au (I also pretty much doubt the fact that my thoughts are somehow original)

Robin: *sitting on Al-An's back like he's a horse* This is efficient as you like to always say, I'm not that fast so if I ride you it makes things go quicker. *smiles wrapping her arms around his torso*
Al-An: ... It is more efficient, but it's quite enjoyable to have a close connection with you, it feels a bit like my network.
Robin: that is what us humans call bonding and building a relationship, you and I have learned about each other and have begun to enjoy the company, humans first like to see if we're compatible before we develop emotional attachments, whether it's friendships or romantic relationships.
Al-An: Interesting, is this how humans establish their own networks?
Robin: In a way, yes. Basically you and I are a private network, we aren't connected to anyone else and while we both share similar thoughts and ideas on our common goal which is helping your people, we still have a lot to learn about each other. It's like we're researching each other to make our network stronger.
Al-An: Would you consider this a romantic or platonic network?
Robin: *Blushes* That requires more study Al-An...
