When a secretive but routine mission goes catastrophically wrong, its singular survivor is tasked with picking up meaningless fragments in the aftermath. With nothing to recover and no one to save, he is left to make sense of the intangible and find a new purpose. Of Engineers, Humans, monsters and the gears of fate.
This story follows the events of another of mine, Those Whom Fortune Favours, from the Last Engineer's perspective.

Harwal, book 3
I'm the crew's problem solver-the one they send on the hardest jobs. To them, I'm fearless, strong, unshakable. But the truth? I'm a coward, hiding secrets I pray no one ever uncovers. Everyone knows I'm terrified of the Zohra, the horned aliens that send chills down my spine. Yet, in a reckless moment, I agree to stay with the crew-near them. But my personal fears don't matter when a bigger threat emerges, one that could destroy everything. The mission takes us to my hometown, to a hidden lab filled with memories I swore I'd never face. And worse? I'm stuck infiltrating it with Harwal-a Zohra who reminds me of the monster that's haunted me for years. Surviving the mission is one thing. Surviving him-and the way he makes me feel-is another.Complete

Exogenesis
(Sequel to Human After All.) With the crash landing of the Juggernaut and the destruction of the Prometheus, and with the promise of leaving; Elizabeth Shaw, Alma Meadows and David find themselves in a trying predicament. Returning home does not seem to be an option, finding the Engineer's home world, however, is. By his own admission, David states he could get them there, but he'd rather they fixed him along the way, being a decapitated head isn't the lifestyle for him. With LV-223 far behind, things if anything get more strained as both humans slowly run out of supplies, having been reduced to succumbing to hypersleep, both expect to be woken when they arrive on the Engineer's planet, thus leaving David alone on the commandeered Juggernaut. Only, being left alone doesn't mean he will just spend his time minding his business like he did when on the Prometheus, no, David has ideals, has plans, and getting rid of the Engineers is just step one. After many, many years, when a crew appear suddenly, he cannot help but find curiosity in them, even more so when an android, a brother in arms, is with them. Who and why are the crew of the Covenant here? And who are the other mysterious colonists which keep getting mentioned? Not all is what it appears to be within Paradise, and honestly, David doesn't find himself caring all that much.Complete

Prometheus: Alien Engineers
Hello, I'm The Cosmic Squirrel and I bring you a fanfic titled Prometheus: Alien Engineers, based on the movie Prometheus, its deleted scenes, the original script by Jon Spaihts, the final script by Damon Lindelof and the supposed apocryphal script that Lindelof denied having written. Prometheus had a mixed reception. Initially, it was conceived as a direct prequel to Alien, with xenomorphs in the plot and an explanation about the origin of the Juggernaut ship that crashed on LV-426. However, the story took another direction with the intention of expanding the universe, which led to a sequel with less acceptance and left the mystery of the alien ship unsolved. Therefore, I decided to create this fanfic, combining elements of the movie with the original idea. Here, not only is the origin of the Juggernaut explained, but xenomorphs are also incorporated into the story, which takes place on the same planetoid LV-426. I hope you enjoy it. Also, in the future, I plan to write a fanfic based on the original Alien: Covenant script.Complete
