💙 Prometheus Fics I Adore 💙

Just here to share some Prometheus (Alien) fics I love to re-read. 😌

Forbidden Gifts by Ardath_Rekha On Ao3 (Has not been finished) - This fic actually has the Last Engineer x Elizabeth Shaw ship! It's such an extreme rare-pair, and it's very well done! I love this ship with my whole heart, istg. - The bridging done between the prequels & the main film is interesting, and the whole story takes you on such a journey. The only thing I remember of reading this the first time was that it was a perfect vibe for mid-winter. - I won't spoil anything, but it does something really interesting with David's character, so for any David sympathizers (*cough cough* @elecctromechanika ) this one's pretty fun! - Is super internal-dialogue centered, and I love it for that! - Just as a note: there is a sex scene in here, but the author warns you thoroughly, and you can skip it if you please.

Those Whom Fortune Favors + Intrepid by JShale on Ao3 (Intrepid isn't finished, but the first one is!) - Those Whom Fortune Favors doesn't need much artistic liberty when going in, as it keeps the same isolated feeling & story as the movie. - Elizabeth's characterization is so fucking on-point. It's always the little things that make each character so distinct from one another, and makes them layered. - Intrepid is basically TWFF, but from the Last Engineer's P.O.V. & adds really interesting perspective I think I needed to recognize how severely a language barrier can warp your perception of a character.

Alone by @wingedmidnight on Ao3 (My apologies if you don't want to be tagged! I'll get rid of whatever upon request. :3) - This fic is OC & David centered, but I love it a lot because of that. It's a very interesting take, seeing the world through a different human's eyes while exploring the weird world of Alien. - David also doesn't turn out to be a creepy little murder machine! No war crimes here. Love that for him. - If you don't like shipping, romance, or sexual tension (the latter of which happens in the both of the above listed, seemingly only on Shaw's side in TWFF-) this one's better suited! - The world building is so creative! Not just in environment, but in the personalities and culture of the Engineers. - Not finished, but I don't mind. I love re-reading it either way.

Curiosity is a Virtue by MewMidnight fanfiction.net (Is also not finished) - There's definitely Elizabeth x Engineer stuff in here, but I'm a little less focused on that. There's also like... one chapter of smut, but it can be easily avoided, if that's not to your taste. - Shaw is as curious as she always is here, constantly seeking answers. - I enjoy the little chunks of world-building in here, but it's mostly funny to watch the other Engineers gawk over Shaw and David the whole time. - CiaV is a far lighter read by comparison, for multiple reasons. It's just such a nice ride.

Figured I'd make this list to give a bit of love (and life) back into this niche corner of the Alien fandom! I hope you give at least one of these a try, and happy reading! 💙

Your Heart Pulling Against Mine - pt 3

David 8 x Reader Words: 1009 Part two is here Cross posted on Ao3

Everyone had gathered in the cockpit as the ship approached LV-223. Only a few days had passed since awakening from cryosleep, and now we were nearing our destination.

Standing between Janek and Millburn, you gazed down at the swirling clouds blanketing the planet’s atmosphere.

“Looking down, it’s almost like flying on a plane... but when I look up-�� Lifting your head, you saw the vast expanse of the universe, stars glittering around the ship.

“First time on a spaceship, huh?” Janek asked with a knowing smile, clearly accustomed to the view by now.

You nodded and stepped closer to Millburn, eager to peer through the larger window.

“I’m usually close to the ground - sometimes even covered in it. Botanists don’t often need to go to space... nor do biologists,” you added with a joyful grin. 

Millburn mirrored your smile, clearly glad that someone was open to forming friendships on this ship.

Moments later, Janek called for Ravel and Chance as the ship prepared for landing. Excited, you hurried over to him alongside an equally energized Dr. Shaw.

“How are we doing?” she asked.

“Great,” Janek replied with a smile, amused by your shared excitement. He gently shooed you both toward your seats so you could brace yourselves for entry.

You rushed back to your seat as the ship tilted sharply, preparing for landing. 

The sudden motion sent your stomach lurching, like the drop of a roller coaster teetering over the edge.

Excitement and nervousness mixed within you as your eyes searched for David, though he was seated on the opposite side with Ford.

“Atmosphere is 71 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, traces of argon gas.”

You gasped at the composition, furrowing your brows as Holloway tried to be funny once again with, “Just like home.”

“I don’t even want to know where you live if that’s what you’re breathing,” you shot back, earning an eye-roll from Holloway - and a rare smirk from Fifield.

Flying deeper, breaking through the clouds, you started to see the surface and marveled at it.

Jagged mountains covered in something that looked like snow - or was it some sort of metal? Specks of it littered the dark, muddy sand until it faded as the area became flatter. Lightning struck at one point.

“It looks like someone threw different fantasy settings together,” you mused, furrowing your brows as Ravel announced that there was neither radio nor a heat source on the radar. Empty.

“There is nothing in the desert, and no man needs nothing,” David’s voice broke through your thoughts, pulling your gaze from the landscape.

“Is that a quote from Lawrence?” you asked, which made him smile that you remembered. He had told you about his favorite movie in bed, promising to show it to you when there was enough time.

Now Ford spoke up, “Lawrence?” which caused David to turn his face to her.

“It’s from a film I like,” he said. “I told Miss (Y/N) about it, that’s all.”

Suddenly, Holloway sprang up, stumbling toward the front, wedging himself between Millburn and you as the ship shook.

He pointed toward lines etched into the ground, leading up to an igloo-shaped structure—or was it a round pyramid? And not just one - more extended further into the distance.

“There! Right there! God doesn’t build in straight lines. Can you put us down there, Captain?”

Janek confirmed and maneuvered the ship to land.

The crew began unbuckling their seatbelts, rising from their seats, staring in awe and disbelief - just like you.

Your heart pounded with excitement as you jumped up, eyes wide with the undeniable proof of someone’s existence. Some form of life had been here.

The moment felt monumental, almost sacred.

Turning, you locked eyes with David, who had moved behind you, his face mirroring your wonder. Without hesitation, you took his hand, squeezing it tightly, uncaring if the others saw.

“Someone was here, David! They were right! We’re not alone!”

you whispered, nodding toward Dr. Holloway, who kissed Dr. Shaw’s temple, drawing her close before letting her go and walking toward Janek.

“Captain, would you please tell the survey team to suit up and meet us in the airlock?” Holloway asked.

Janek frowned, casting an uncertain glance at the structure and the clouded sky.

“There are only six hours of daylight left. We should wait until tomorrow.”

Holloway shook his head.

“Oh no, no, no. It's Christmas, Captain, and I want to open my presents.”

With that, he strode toward the door.

You fought the urge to wrap your arms around David, longing to hug him, to theorize and ponder about what you might discover - but there was no time.

“You, boy, you’re coming with us.”

From the corner of your eye, you saw Holloway pointing at David.

You didn’t like that.

When David politely agreed, you couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“He has a name, you know!” you snapped.

David’s brows lifted in quiet surprise, while Holloway arched his and glanced down at your joined hands. But he said nothing, leaving without a word.

With a frustrated huff, you tugged David along, heading towards the airlock yourself.

“If you don’t call him out on his behavior, I will,” you muttered.

“You really don’t have to. I’m used to it,” he replied, his voice soft.

You stopped abruptly, meeting his eyes.

“That doesn’t make it right. You’re not a thing, David!”

His brows twitched, just slightly - a reaction you would have missed if you hadn’t been so intent on watching him.

A moment later, he pulled you into a nearby side room, pressing you softly against the wall.

“David-?” you whispered, taken off guard.

He cupped your cheeks, resting his forehead against yours - a gesture he had learned symbolized comfort and affection.

“I’ll handle Dr. Holloway myself,” he murmured. “I appreciate your willingness to defend me, but don’t get into conflict because of it.”

A faint blush crept up your cheeks, and you pressed your lips into a thin line.

“I can’t promise that.”

Being defended for something he had not even considered offensive.

How strange.

The spaceship Prometheus approach and landing on LV-223, Prometheus (2012)

[death-crusade]

Me when we finally land on LV-223.

[theropoda]

Yknow considering the mural in the engineer temple(?) in LV-223 i do definitely think the engineers "domesticated" xenomorphs. i really don't like the idea they MADE the entire species wholesale but it does absolutely make sense that it is an animal of importance, of use to them... They revered the wild ones and made a domesticated species. Maybe the wild ones are extinct now, like an aurochs situation?

I think it's a nice middle ground explaining their significance in engineer culture but also bypassing the idea they were created as bioweapons which i rlly hate. I wanna believe xenomorphs, or at least some really early kind of them, were/are the result of natural selection which is quite honestly just. So much more terrifying to me.

And of course david... he thinks he's soooo smart he's making the Perfect Creature when it's already kinda been done, congrats on rediscovering what the engineers already did. but of course he'd think he's just surpassing them

In the Face of Discovery - Chapter 5: The Restless Banquet

"In the Face of Discovery" is a canon-divergent fanfiction taking place in the Prometheus 2012 Alien universe. As Shaw wanders through life on LV-223, the question remains: just how far can discovery go?

"Countless worlds are under the threat of Ey'vis' long-sworn enemy, Ambrosia. After the two's mutual warring had come to a slow pause, sudden activity came up in possibly one of the most messy, complicated universes ever. Space Jockeys, the feared space traveling race, and Humans, their defiled creations, have no choice but to follow her demands. After all, who's gonna question the 25 foot tall Eldridge horror?"

[feral-lore-creature]

They did NOT have to make the Engineers this hot...

That shit was intentional.

You can't tell me Shaw did NOT think about fucking the LV-223 Engineer.

Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 (aka "Prometheus Fire" or "black goo"), developed by the Engineers and first introduced in Prometheus, was both a lethal pathogen and a powerful mutating agent. As Alien: The Roleplaying Game puts it: "any living thing that comes into direct contact with the black goo will either die horribly, give birth to monsters, or become a monster themselves." The prevailing theory is that black goo's purpose is for use by Engineers to cleanse planets of unwanted biological life forms. Earth was the target for cleansing in Prometheus before the plan was stopped by human visitors to LV-223. Don't goof around with THIS goo… on Sci-Fi Saturday!!
