My Bio
The problem with Aperture Science was that you never left, not really. You could change your face, change your name, change everything about yourself, but those pristine white hallways always seemed to catch up in the end. Perhaps the keys to moving on lie not within yourself, but within all of them... or maybe you're just kidding yourself.

Yeah, it's probably the second one.


In which Chell tries to move on after Aperture Science and can't, GLaDOS tries to move on after Chell and can't, Wheatley tries to let it all go and Black Mesa seems to have a bit more than combustible lemons up their sleeves...

Hullo all and welcome to Failsafe, a Portal 2 fanfic which is a collaborative effort between :icondigi-writes-fanfics: and :iconkirokokori:. The fic is set six months after the game, wherein Chell is currently working for a newly reestablished Black Mesa and isn't feeling terribly content with her life. On the other end of the spectrum, GLaDOS is feeling more attached to her favorite test subject than she thought, and so everyone's favorite AI finds herself turning to revenge on a certain personality core in an attempt to get a hold of herself. The fic is meant to explore a number of things, from the idea of the characters trying to move on after it all and the relationships they have formed and will form with each other. Also there's sarcasm. A lot of sarcasm.

Readers should be warned right now that this fic will feature human!Wheatley, although not entirely human. Our goal for him in this fic is to try to explore the sort of shock a machine would feel when they find themselves suddenly experiencing such things as realistically as we can get. Then of course there's other characters and quite a plot brewing with Black Mesa, so don't go thinking this will be a standard fic.

Pairings will be Cave/Caroline, as well as some one-sided Wheatley/Chell and Doug Rattmann/Chell. If you're not a huge fan of pairings, no worries, as these will be very light and kept as close to canon as possible. Also there's horrible Wheatley abuse, so you should probably be warned.

I suppose that's all there is to discuss right now. I hope you'll all enjoy!

Hey all! Okay, so first of all, hello and welcome to Failsafe. Digi here and Shea and I are absurdly pleased to see such positive feedback already for this project. You guys are wonderful and deserve cookies. Unfortunately, you guys really deserve updates, but we can't give them to you. I know it's kind of sucky to make our first journal entry about how updates are gonna be slow, but it can't really be helped. Both of us have major painting finals upon us for the next week or so, which means writing isn't gonna happen. This sucks, but again, can't be helped. So my apologies for the wait and HEY hopefully we'll manage to deliver something co

happy b-day :D :cake:
Hey there! I'm just wondering about some semantics. xD In the couples section you provided, do you mean one-sided Chelley and one-sided Chellmann or one-sided Chelley and double-sided (lol) Chellmann? I'm just asking because the Chellmann group I'm a part of could use a few more entries. xDD
So someone's actually going to try to go with that whole sense-shock idea? YES! :iconclapplz: Doesn't get anywhere near as much attention as it should in this kind of fic.
Hence why we're writing it, haha. Thank you~!
...DX

I just realized.

Wheatley's robotic body probably only has very rudimentary pain sensors. Android body... not so much.

oh god poor Wheatley :lol:

...should I be frightened by the placement of that emoticon. Oh well. WheatleyxMisery is even better than Chelley!
Wheatley x Misery is pretty much already probably the main canon pairing of this fic, I'm not gonna lie.
