Test. That was what she did, and Subject 3281 did it well.
She was the model subject, fit, strong, on time, and most of all... obedient.
That's how she was, until one fateful day, when the higher-ups at Aperture Science figured that they could get more out of their testing if two subjects were present, and so launched the "Aperture Science Co-operative Testing Initiative", pairing Subject 3281 with another Test subject. A boy.
A boy who forced Subject 3281 to re-think her complacency, to yearn for freedom as they all did.
To begin thinking like the girl she had been; instead of the person she had become.
~----------------------------------~
So, I was writing a short story one day, and realized that--with a bit of tweaking--this could turn into a Portal 2 fan-fic! While I do believe that Blue Sky is the BEST fan-fic for Portal 2 out there, and deserves to be canon, I think that this is still a relatively believable Chell backstory. (This is set after Cave Johnson's death, and before Caroline/GLaDOS killed everyone but the test subjects with neurotoxin, and placed Chell in stasis.)
Enjoy!
This is not a Chelley fan-fic, and doesn't include Wheatley, as this is set prior to the timeline of the first game.
I don't own Portal, Portal 2, or the characters in the game; but this story is my own, from my imagination. I also don't own the amazing cover art, and I don't know who does... same goes for the chapter art, they're all either off of Google or Pinterest! 😂
P.S. the first chapter sort of "sets the scene" for the rest of the book, so bear with me!

Clemont x Reader [OLD]
A/N: I really hate this 2K writing limit. I copy and paste my stories from Word so It's kind of annoying. -Your P.O.V- "Clemont? What are you doing here, I thought you were absent because you weren't at class...." You asked the nerdy kid. "I've been working on my latest experiment." He mumbled. "Eh?" You teased, holding your hand up to your ear as a gesture for him to 'speak up.' "I said I'm WORKING ON MY LATEST EXPERIMENT." He said, but louder. "MISSSS!!!" You fake whined. "CLEMONT SHOUTED AT MEEEEE!!!!" Suddenly the supervisor came running up to you and Clemont, she sighed and shook her head. "Clemont, that's some very dangerous chemicals you're working on! If your experimenting, then please work in the science lab, but you'll need permission from your teacher. But shouting at (y/n)? Your not like that. But (y/n)'s likely to provoke people like this..." You rolled your eyes. The supervisor was startled and walked off. You swivelled back to Clemont, who was looking at you rather strangely. You shrugged your shoulders at him, and walked off like you didn't care. -Clemont's P.O.V- I looked up at the clouds, still drowsy from working with hypno chemicals. I was waiting outside for my younger sister, Bonnie to walk out the door, scream out my name and give me a giant hug. If I didn't have a younger sister, I would have been consumed by my depression.... perhaps..... maybe.... I've got to admit...I've got a huge crush on (y/n)...ever since I transferred. I always turn away and hide my flushed cheeks and sweating hands and shaking knees and...yeah... I wish I could be popular for her... but I'm not. I've asked Bonnie for advice as well...she says I should admit my feelings and she'll say her catchphrase tomorrow. To be honest...I don't want her to, she'll just laugh at me and Bonnie and my life will be ruined.Complete
Sacrifice To Stars: Another Universe, Another Chance (A BFDIA Fanfic)
After several chances had been given to a star that had revealed her true identity, she looks back at her terrible past, wanting to relive it in the future to satisfy her memory. Note: Read 'Sacrifice To Stars' before beginning this fanfic. With the help of a few friends, she tries to do the impossible. Her mission: To recreate her original universe. Although it sounds diabolical, her regrown positivity had given her the courage to feel her old universe's fresh nostalgia. Even recreating the beings that ignored her entire existence. With such immortality comes loss, though. Over the journey to restore her home, her weaknesses arise again, giving her harder times. This does mean possible sacrifice. Is such power possible? Maybe, maybe not. But her forgiveness for her kind has strengened her to go beyond possible capabilities. Once as a liking, now as a risk. "If it's for the sake of a life, then I'll do it. I'll create and destroy for anyone, especially for the one that stuck with me till my end." "I'll always support you, no matter the cost, Pin. Do what you desire, even if... I'll never get to see you again..." TW: -Anxiety -Disability -Suicide -Slight, minor swears -Death -Treason -ALS -Sacrifice(Obvious) --------☆~Notices~♡-------- (Remember I do not own these characters.

GLaDOS awakens
"Boot up initiated" a male voice said, showing no emotions. Suddenly as if someone turned on the lights [They] could see something. A room. The only thing they could see was a window in front of them. People dressed like scientists stood behind the window. ------- A story staring GLaDOS as it's main character. It will not be canon GLaDOS though. If anyone finds any grammatical mistakes, feel free to tell me about them. Also seeing how things are going for now, it will be a slow progression story. Well at least from my point of view. Not quite sure what you guys' standards are. (Note: All images used in the story or as cover are not mine unless stated otherwise. As long as I know the source I will write it down (unless I forget in which case I am very sorry-) and if the creator of said image wants me to remove it, I will comply when asked to remove it) (Note two: Planned updates are Wednesday and Saturday at an unclear time of day for an unclear timezone) (Note two point five: Planned updates have been changed to only Saturday, for more info on that check my announcements) (Note three: First chapter published on February 12)
Playing With Fire (Charlie Weasley X Reader)
Charlie X Reader, 'Playing With Fire' Book 1 (Series Completed) *** "Uh, yeah. I stopped going to classes a while back. Believe it or not, that's not good for the GPA. I had, like, a 26 average or something," I said like it wasn't a big deal. "Damn, that's not great," he admitted. He rounded the corner into Percy's room. I could hear Percy fighting with the twins in their room. "Why'd you do that?" he asked teasingly. "My dad died," I answered honestly. "Oh, shit. I'm sorry," he said and his face dropped. "It's alright," I dismissed. "Seriously, stop looking at me like that." "I can't help it," he said. "You're making it worse. You look like a wounded puppy," I whined. "Don't be like everyone else. I'm sick of people treating me differently because of this whole thing. Treat me normally." "You mean, like flirt with you a little bit?" "Well, I, uh," I stuttered. He grinned at me. "You're blushing." *** Seventh-year Y/N Y/L/N is what the professors would call a prime example of wasted potential, with an impressively bad 26% average. As far as she's concerned, she is past academic redemption. However, Dumbledore and McGonagall decide to introduce a new opportunity for struggling students, a scholarship that covers a trip abroad. Y/N is desperately in need of this scholarship if she wants to graduate from Hogwarts, but she is struggling through more than anyone knows. The only thing that is keeping her going is the family she's found with the Weasleys. They're an odd bunch and that's exactly why she fits in. Because she doesn't. Things are simple with the Weasley family. That is until she crosses a line with one of the Weasley boys, a path that can never be retraced. Y/N finds herself trapped in a web of lies that she had created. One spark and everything she has worked for could be gone in an instant. And she's playing with fire. This story contains mature content. Trigger warnings are included at the beginning of chapters. I hope you enjoy!Complete
Caffeine Rush (Coco Adel x MaleReader)
Today's special is a Male Reader Insert featuring Coco Adel. One word that I think describes Coco is "confident". She looks good and knows it, so the nice guy routine isn't as effective with her. Plus since she's so into fashion it had to be somewhere in there. Yes ladies, guys can go shopping for clothes too. (results may vary) Of course it wouldn't be a reader about Coco if we don't include that part from "Breach" where she and the rest of Team CFVY go to town on the Grimm. After being sent on a recon mission by Ironwood, Coco and the reader meet the next White Fang Alpha: The Defender. A bear faunus who, unlike most Alphas, is more on the passive side disposition-wise. He completes the first half of the White Fang Alpha set, along with the Grimm Tamer, Copycat and Dust Assassin, in the "Experimental Weapon" Division. The Defender wields a pair of hard-light shield gauntlets which also have offensive purposes. The left gauntlet shoots a ball of pure force and the right shoots a nullification beam, which can shut down almost any weapon for about 30 seconds, long enough for him to dash in and finish the job. Btw, has anyone else noticed the sever lack of handrails by the cliffs in Vale? That can't be OSHA-compliant. Anyways, that leaves the Weapon Master, Assault, Demolitionist and our final WFA in the more traditional "Specialized Soldier" category. And for those wondering "What about Adam?", I've dubbed him "The Omega Alpha" because out of all of them, he's the last one you'd ever want to face.

She's background noise, too exhausted to try anymore. And then the puddle appears. It shouldn't be there, not in this drought. When she kneels beside it, her reflection stares back. It blinks. It pulls her in. She thought she would die drowning in. But being alive, dragged into another world isn't the problem. Now she is important to this other world. Now, she is seen. But because she is so valuable, the General wants to use her. And possibly, someone that might want her to stay, for her.

Things We Don't Normally Do
// A W2S Fanfic // If it is true that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results", then Alex had been living in insanity her whole life. Alex feels like she as been going through the motions for way too long. Like she had been stuck living as a supporting character in someone else's story-- often playing roles like the less attractive friend, the older hardly-present sister, the annoying younger sister, the girl you go out with before you meet the love of your life. Feeling like an extra in your own life is not fun, but she realized that there is only one constant in her predicament and it was her. If anything was going to change for her, she would have to change. So she made a resolution: to do the things she won't normally do. It was when she started on this quest to push herself to do things she normally wouldn't that she meets Harry. An awkward chance encounter that quickly grew into an undeniable attraction. And Harry, with his outrageous stunts and youtube popularity, that something Alex would've never thought she'd go for.
