I may or may not have realized something related to In Space with Markiplier.

Engineer!Mark said that the only other person he trusted the most was the Captain.

Engineer!Mark also built the warp core.

Now, with this in mind, recall when the Captain first found the warp core.

The warp core itself trusted the Captain to resolve the time-space paradox we got ourselves into.

If you think about it, this could be Engineer!Mark's statement of trusting the Captain still ringing true despite his distrust to the Captain before engaging the warp core.

Even if he thought that the Captain was the reason why the events of ISWM happened, he still subconciously trusted the Captain enough to resolve everything.

It wasn't just our hopeful persistence that saved the time-space continuum and The Invincible — it was Engineer!Mark's faith in the Captain that helped in resolving everything.

Markiplier may say this is about "the illusion of choice," but this is just as much about deep relationships that lead to a deep level of trust.

Honestly, this is one of the most beautiful things that I have ever realized about this.

🥺🥹🫶🌌🌠💫✨💖💗💓❤️💕💞

I've Never Been In Love, I've Been Alone

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45855814

The Captain has ended the time loop, but this doesn't feel like a happy ending. Maybe it's all a dream. Maybe the Captain's asleep, but there's someone out there who can't remember the last time they've slept. And they're so awake and angry.

-----------------

It goes like this:

The universe gets saved. The Captain and Mark get their happily ever after.

But it doesn’t feel like it.

-

The planet below looks beautiful from the window. The coffee in the Captain’s hand is delicious and warm. Too warm, actually. Burning into their hand.

Mark is smiling at the Captain like they’re the sun he revolves around. He used to look at them like that before everything, too.

No. Something was different.

Mark used to look at them like the moon revolving around the earth. This is the earth revolving around the sun. Bigger. Brighter. The pull stronger.

It took Mark a thousand lifetimes to start to doubt the Captain, lifetimes of the Captain hitting him before he hit back. It’s different now. There was no infinity that could break his devotion to them.

The Captain could torture Mark to death and he’d think they were doing what was right. What was necessary. He wouldn’t even fight back.

-

Maybe the Captain has tried it before. In another universe.

-

Mark’s eyes meet the Captain’s in the control room. He acts like nothing has happened, but guilt is heavy in his gaze. If the Captain were to punish him, he thinks he would deserve it.

-

The Captain was angry. So angry.

They bit the thick leather of their glove, the hand that didn’t have the crystal in it, and screamed. It didn’t hurt, but they wish it did.

-

A hand lands on the Captain’s shoulder. A man smiles down at them.

“It’s time to wake up, sleepyhead,” He laughs.

The Captain stares back, listlessly. The smile begins to fade. The Captain closes their eyes.

-

“Captain,” drawls out Gunther. “Are you ready to see the coolest explosion you will ever see in your life?”

The Captain nods. It’s not that cool. They’ve seen bigger. But they smile back when Gunther looks at them for approval.

Mark whoops in excitement. His eyes are glowing with youthful cheer.

It makes the Captain’s smile grow.

-

“Captain?”

-

“I told you to wake up!” Something shakes them.

-

There’s a crack in their helmet where Mark hit them with the fire extinguisher.

It was on their helmet before it happened, lingering through universes, appearing one day after a random reset.

When the Captain had first seen it, they tried to patch it. They didn’t know where it came from.

Mark had seen it and given them an uncertain smile.

“It adds personality,” He said, and so the Captain left it alone.

The crack was bigger now.

-

The colony was set up on the ground now. The Captain had known what to do, of course. They’ve succeeded on getting to the planet before, on building the colony with or without the help of Mark. They had it handled with ease.

The respect in the crew’s faces grew.

-

“Don’t be ridiculous. Everything has to end, so that everything can begin again. Move on already. You don’t get to stay after you reach the happy ending!”

-

The Captain sits up. Some sort of nightmare. They can’t remember it anymore, already fading away like most dreams do.

But they can’t find it in themselves to try to go back to sleep. They get up, get dressed, and go look for Mark. The Captain doubts that Mark sleeps much these days either.

Speak of the devil, Mark is indeed up, working away at a generator with a focused energy that reminds them of the warp core. The generator helps power their city. It’s small, but rapidly growing every day, more buildings than even Mark can help with and more lives than the Captain can watch over.

“Awake so late?” They tease, and Mark almost drops his wrench, spinning around.

“Captain?” They wave him a greeting, but he stares at them, shocked.

“You can speak?”

-

What?

-

SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG-

-

Awake? They sign, but Mark has his back turned to them. The Captain taps their heavy boot against the metal flooring to catch his attention, and then signs again.

“Yeah,” He chuckles sheepishly, putting down his wrench to rub at the back of his neck. “But it seems I’m not the only one who’s awake at this ungodly hour, huh?” He looks at them meaningfully.

Tell you what, They sign at him. If you go to sleep, I’ll go to sleep too.

Mark shakes his head. “I can’t sleep,” he said sorrowfully.

-

“I can’t remember the last time I slept,” Mark said, raggedly, face full of sorrow as the warp core room shook around them.

-

The Captain shakes it off, but their ears are ringing. Mark doesn’t seem to notice.

-

“Go back to sleep. You deserve this happy ending,” someone rumbles in a deep voice. It soothes them.

-

After some more idle conversation, where Mark keeps trying to herd the Captain back to their tent to sleep without actually agreeing to any sleep himself, he sighs and gives in.

“If I go back to my tent, will you go back to yours? He asks. “We can’t have our Captain disoriented from lack of sleep.”

We can’t have our Head Engineer disoriented either, the Captain points out, and they allow Mark to herd them back to their tent. They step inside their Captain’s tent, pause, and then poke their head back out just in time to see Mark try and sneak back to the generator. They snap their fingers disapprovingly at him, then invite him inside their tent.

“What?” Mark flushes, but the Captain has none of it, ushering him inside their tent. They lay down on the Captain’s bed together, the mattress large enough that their bodies don’t touch. They both lay on their sides, staring at each other, breathing quietly in the darkness.

“You don’t take your helmet off when you sleep?” Mark asks.

The Captain frowned. They’ve never taken their helmet off. But their Head Engineer is right. Why wouldn’t they take it off to sleep-?

-

They both lay on their sides, staring at each other, breathing quietly in the darkness.

“Good night, Captain,” Mark says at last, and rolls over so he isn’t facing them anymore.

The Captain closes their eyes.

-

WAKE UP. YOU DON’T GET A HAPPY ENDING, WAKE UP-!

-

The Captain wakes up. Mark is still in their bed, the gentle morning light inching through the tent door and turning his hair into a shade of brown. He looks beautiful and peaceful. The Captain suspects it’s the most peaceful sleep either of them have gotten since the warp core was fixed. They check their communicator. They still have a few more hours left before they need to get up. They close their eyes again.

-

They both lay on their sides, staring at each other, breathing quietly in the darkness.

“You don’t take your communicator off when you sleep?” Mark asks.

The Captain frowned. They’ve never-

-

WAKE UP-

-

Taken their communicator off when they sleep-

-

The Captain wakes up-

-

“Go to sleep, I’ll go to sleep too-

-

VERY WRONG-

-

“Awake so late?”

-

A hand lands on the Captain’s shoulder. A man smiles down at them.

“It’s time to wake up, sleepyhead,” He laughs.

The Captain stares back, listlessly. The smile begins to fade.

-

SO ANGRY-

-

A hand is tapping their face. The man is frowning down at them. “I told you,” he said angrily, “You don’t get to stay after you reach the happy ending!”

-

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

-

“You deserve a happy ending,” The deep voice says again, but whoever they are, they sound a bit desperate. “Let yourself be laid to rest, please-”

-

“If I don’t get a happy ending, neither do you!” The man shouts down at the Captain, and suddenly the Captain is awake, so very awake, and so angry. But mainly, they are tired. They grab the man’s hand. He looks like their Head Engineer, but even more tired than the man who said he couldn’t remember the last time you slept.

“If you go to sleep, I’ll go to sleep too,” The Captain offers, and the man stares down at them, his anger wiped away by shock.

“What?” He whispers, and looks so very lost. “I…” He shakes his head. “I can’t, I don’t know how to anymore-”

“Mark,” The Captain rasps out in a voice that hasn’t been used in ages, and the man stops speaking again. Yes, they remember now. This isn’t their head engineer but this is Mark. “It’s time to go to sleep.”

The fight leaves the man’s body.

“Okay,” He says quietly. “Okay.”

The Captain closes their eyes.

-

“Captain?”

The Captain wakes to their head engineer standing over them, worry plastered onto his face. “You were sleeping pretty deeply there,” he says. Neither your communicator nor I could wake you. It’s time to go do our daily jobs.” He frowns. “Maybe you should keep sleeping. I’m sure I could take care of-”

The Captain shakes him off. They’ve never felt more rested.

They feel good, actually. Better than they have in ages.

Maybe this is their happy ending, after all.

Engineer Mark x Captain!Reader: childhood best friends, what if the events of ISWM never happened (like, the whole worm hole shit)

You and Mark had been the best of friends ever since you could remember. Holidays? Spent at each other's houses (only because the two of you would beg, and beg, and BEG your parents until they gave in). Birthdays? Spent together. Recess during the school days? Spent mostly together, with an ever-rotating group of friends who joined you two. As the years passed, and your friendship only grew stronger

You two had the greatest idea! You two would both get degrees in engineering and piloting/being a captain! That way, on the off chance you both are on the same spaceship, you two can help each other out! So, that's exactly what you two do. Eventually, after a lot of hard work, the two of you become certified. Once that happens, Mark tells you of his plans to build his very own spaceship and have a very dependable crew (made up of a few of the friends you've known through the years)

It's honestly been quite a few years (probably 5 or so) since you've seen each other. Mark has been busy building the Invincible and Invincible II, and you've been captaining other spaceships. The talking you two do has dwindled down to only chatting occasionally, mostly at night before you go to sleep. Eventually, the bord tells you you're transferring to a new ship. They don't elaborate, nor do they tell you the crew. While you expected it, the secrecy annoys you sometimes

When you finally step abord the Invincible II, you're greeted almost immediately by Mark. He looks about ready to cry he's so happy. You two embrace, having finally been able to do what you set out to do. Once you let go of him, he gives you a tour, he introduces you to the crew, you give a toast - a speech to really remember and inspire all your friends (new and old), and then you enter cryosleep

When you wake up, Mark hands you some coffee, you watch as Gunther prepares to go down to the surface, Celci informs you of the status of the colonists, and Burt tells you a nice poem about how the universe is playing out as it should. You then make your way towards the glass to observe the planet that will be your new home. Man, where you excited for there to be running water so you could get a shower

HELLO it has been a hot minute. I didn't get to do this yesterday like I promised because I was Too Sick to be producing anything .-.

BUT ANYWHO here it is, the true English translation of this thing I made at 1 am! writing in my mother tongue was super fun actually. I should think unhinged thoughts in Tagalog more often HAHAHAHAH

will they catch you when you fall? (ISWM main crew heads edition)

was it for a trust fall game or did you really just trip on something?

whatever the situation, let's see if we can trust your crew hehe

Head Engineer Mark

YES OF COURSE. you don't even have to ask this bestie

well with everything you've been through in the past he would be rude to not catch you :\

“CAPTAIN!” he would likely shout before he could catch you

if you have a crush on him it will only intensify in this moment HAHAHAHAHAHA you can only feel crush aggression and giddiness at the same time at his handsomeness ;)

Burt

why of course, he's a gentleman

you must have slipped and he had quickly thought of supporting your posture before you fall

“…please be careful here, Captain” is his advice before he lets you go

this man is so nice. I hope his food will always be delicious for his entire life

Head Cryogenics Celci

another yes of course this person will catch you

then again she has always been concerned for you since you landed on this new planet

“CAPTAIN! Are you okay??” you can really hear the concern in her voice

she will bring you to the clinic if she has to ^_^ she's sweet, isn't she?

Head ADS Gunther

…he won't catch you HAHAHAHAHAHA 😭💔

“hey Isa, that's quite awful” oh come on. he's so used to being a lone wolf after having been through wars and everything before his assignment as ADS for the Invincible. with the many people he's lost in his life it's almost like he can't care anymore — BUT ONLY ALMOST. at least he'll help you stand up. o see there he makes up for not catching you anyway

“you ok, Cap'n?” he'll ask. if you nod he'll let you go then go back to what he was doing

if you're close friends then he'll laugh at you for falling tbh. he's such a bastard with little shit energy for this HAHAHAHAHA but he'll still help you up. but also sometimes you want to choke him for laughing at you

I was laughing alone while writing this HAHAHAHAHA

btw this is still super funny to me LMAO

once again here is the original Tagalog version!

I hope you enjoyed reading ❤

oh hey bonus

Miss Grandmother Dorene Whitacre

well of course she'll catch you!! you doubt her, the grandmother character of this entire series?

actually hold on you're the only one in this corridor. where did she come from-

“be careful where you step, Captain. you never know where you’ll lead yourself to.”

you're not only surprised [by her sudden appearance], you're also spooked by her eerie vibes. you don't know if Grandma Dorene has an underlying message @_@ ty for the catch I guess we still have Captain stuff to do

ok fr it's done. my battery is running out. I still have to tag this post HAHAHAHAHAHA

(not this time though. I am now on my laptop that has a fully-charged battery. heh)

Together (Space Mark x GN Reader)

Chapter 5

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 last chapter coming soon!

Summary- You and Mark finally have time to talk and it all comes out! People start to find out about you too, but that's not a bad thing.

TWs- nothing really, Gunther walks in on you two and thinks your doing something else, but your not. Pure fluff, small chapter 812 words.

update- SO I'm back from vacation and I got a new job. I was supposed to post this a couple of days ago but I'm kinda going through a rough patch with my mental health rn. I'm feeling better, but I'm still kinda in it. I'll post a longer chapter next time, but the next chapter will be the last.

No Real spoilers for ISWM part 1 or 2 but may change as the story goes on, so check for spoiler warnings!!!!

You took a deep breath. You could do this, it was just Mark. You knew he had some kind of feelings for you, you weren’t dumb. You knew that, but it didn't make this conversation any less nerve-wracking. Mark gripped your hand and smiled at you. He took a breath before saying,

“ Captain, I know it may be seen as unprofessional or ridiculous by others, but I don’t care. All I care about is you, I’d cross the universe to make you happy.” You smiled and whispered out a soft “Mark” He pressed a kiss to your hands. “ Captain, I love you. I love you more than anything in the universe. If you don’t feel the same way or you need time and space I understand. All I want is to see you happy. “ He finished spilling his soul and heart out to you. You finally understood the warm look in his caring dark eyes. It was love, pure love. “You make me happy Mark. I love you so fuckin much, as long as you're by my side I'll be happy. I don’t care what anyone says. I want to be with you.” You took his hand and placed it on your cheek. “I wanna be yours, Mark. Whatever happens, we can face it together.” He smiled and pressed his forehead against yours. His warm breath fanned your face and his scent engulfed you. You loved it, you loved him. He placed his other hand on your face, cradling your face so carefully. He held you like you were the most precious thing in the world, and to him you were. Finally, you both leaned into each other. Your bodies pressed into each other, and your lips met. The kiss was soft but full of passion. So long you both have wanted this and it was amazing. You both pressed into each other more, the kiss growing more passionate. Your hands went around his neck, playing with his soft dark hair. After a few more moments you both pulled away, breathing heavily. You both had smiles on your faces. “I’m yours.” Mark softly spoke, ending it with a quick kiss on your lips. “ And I’m yours's Mark,” you spoke with a smile. You both sat there and held each other. You took this time to enjoy being together. Though that time was quickly cut off when Gunther and CC walked into the room. You yelped in surprise as Mark still held you. He looked more annoyed than embarrassed when you two were interrupted. “Captain? What’s going on?” CC asked, looking very confused. Before you or Mark could answer Guther answered, “ It’s kinda obvious CC, They were fuc-” You yelped and cut Gunther off with a “NO!.” everyone looked at you and you coughed before continuing, “ We were not doing that, Gunther. I was simply cuddling with my boyfriend.” You stated. Mark held a smirk as CC’s face contorted. “Boyfriend? Captain, you can’t be serious, Mark. Out of everyone here, Mark?” she rambled. Before you could answer Mark spoke, “ They are serious, out of everyone in the whole universe they chose to be with me. The best captain known to mankind is with me.” You laughed a bit watching CC gasp. “CC, yes I am serious. Please be respectful of us and our relationship. Mark isn’t going to get special privileges at work.” You stated. Gunther let out a chuckle and pat Mark on the back. “About damn time you two got together. It was kinda obvious that you liked each other.” He paused looking at CC, “Well to most of us. But I'm happy for you both.” he finished. You both thanked him. “So why did you all interrupt us?”You questioned the two. “Well, we need Mark to help us repair some systems. Can’t do it without the captain's code.” CC answered. You nodded and sighed. “ He’ll be out in a minute,” you said, and then quickly left the room. Mark let out a sigh before saying, “Well, duty calls baby. Please take it easy and don't overwork yourself. I’ll come by to check in on you when I can.” You nodded as he slowly started to put his tech gear back on. “I promise, just don’t torture CC too much. '' You joked as he finished. “No promises there baby.” He walked over to you and softly kissed you before pulling away. “ I love you, I’ll be back as soon as possible. “ He said before walking to the door. You quickly called out, “Love you too captain.” Mark turned and wagged a finger at you, “That is my line captain. Don’t inflate my ego too much.” he joked before finally walking to go help the crew out. You leaned back with a sweet smile on your face. You and Mark were finally together, and nothing would change that.

In My Solitude (Songfic)

Head Engineer Mark x gn!reader

This idea has literally been eating away at my soul

Warnings: loneliness, depression, possible su*c*dal thought (written in red text just in case), death, heavy angst, maybe a little fluffy at the end but like a sad fluffy

Word Count: 1054

Masterlist

In my solitude

You haunt me

With memories

Of days gone by

When this loop began… When they stepped out of the cryopod to darkness and cold… It wasn’t what they expected.

Every time before, they were greeted with fire, or with crew members bustling onto the Bridge to do their jobs, or Mark, ready with a cup of coffee, but…

They raced to the other side of the Bridge, to the Head Engineer’s cryopod. No matter how frantically they pressed the emergency open, the pod stayed firmly shut. They had to grab the handle and tug with all their might before the seal was finally broken with a hiss. But, standing, frozen and asleep, wasn’t Mark.

It wasn’t anybody.

“Mark…?” Their voice felt meek - too meek for a captain, certainly.

But Mark was nowhere to be found. Their shoulders fell, a breath falling from their lips as though it had been forced out of their lungs. As they stepped back, their eyes fell, and caught sight of… something at the bottom of the pod. When they crouched down to inspect it, however, they couldn’t even begin to fathom why it was there.

In place of Mark was a framed photo of their beloved head engineer.

In my solitude

You taunt me

With memories

That never die

Every. Single. One. Every cryopod was empty. Gunther’s, Celci’s, Burt’s - all of the colonists and crew were gone.

There was nobody else left.

What was the old phrase? ‘A captain always goes down with their ship’? It felt like a cruel joke. Everyone else had gone down with the Invincible II, and the Captain was left with the fragments of life they left behind.

Worse still, there was no power. No lights, no air conditioners, no heaters, nothing. Even the reactor felt cold, and cryo felt warm.

Everywhere they looked, they saw the life that used to fill the halls. They remembered walking through when they first boarded, being greeted and fawned over by a variety of crew. Now, it felt desolate. It was desolate.

They recalled the robots in ADS, that had at one point or another tried to kill them. Those, too, were out of order. It felt strange to stand in the doorway and wish they would shoot.

I sit in my chair

Filled with despair

There’s no one could be so sad

With gloom everywhere

I sit, and I stare

I know that I’ll soon go mad

Wandering the ship was too depressing. They had to limit their roaming to the Bridge. It took a few weeks to get everything set up, but they soon found themselves with a somewhat comfortable place of stay.

They had a cot, set up in front of the giant windows. In the back of their mind, they thanked and cursed Mark for designing the Invincible II with so many of the damned things. But, falling asleep, looking at the stars and the big, bleeping distress signal, was much better than staring at metal walls 24/7.

Crates of sandwiches - tuna salad and pb&j - sat off to the side, ready and waiting to be eaten. They were supposed to be for the landing party, for the civilization. Every time they took a bite, their stomach filled with guilt.

Next to Mark’s cryopod, they had actually begun a little project to keep their mind distracted from everything else. They took one of the droids from ADS and took it apart. The Captain wasn’t truly one for engineering, but some part of them liked to pretend they knew what they were doing as they disconnected and reconnected wires.

They wished Mark was there to teach them what to do.

In my solitude

I’m praying

Dear Lord above

Send back my love

Time was a blur, especially in space. There was no sun to keep track of time, and no working clocks aboard either. They made do with what they could. According to a calendar they had been marking up, it had been 80 years since they stepped out of their cryopod to complete darkness.

Their food supply was running out. There was no denying it. And they were tired. Frail, weak.

For 80 years, they woke up, did what they could to entertain themselves, to call for help, to survive. Now all they wanted was to rest. They wanted to die peacefully, knowing there was nothing they could have done to save the colonists, the crew, Mark… And knowing that no one was coming to save them.

Their final day was spent much like the others.

They woke up. They had a harder time getting from the cot, due to an aching back and stiff joints. It didn’t bother them as much today.

They marked another day on the calendar. They’d seen the “hot babe” on the top of the month too many times to count, but the tallies were all there.

And they sat next to Mark’s cryopod. They didn’t feel hungry, or cold, or warm. They felt… content. At peace.

The Captain held the photo of Mark to their chest, as though hugging the young man in the fading image. Blue light pulsed into the room from the distress beacon. Crinkles formed around their eyes as they smiled. Their eyes closed…

I sit in my chair

Filled with despair

There’s no one could be so sad

With gloom everywhere

I sit, and I stare

I know that I’ll soon go mad

And then they awoke to a ship full of life.

“Captain?” Mark waved his hand in front of their face. They were barely a step out of their cryopod, just staring at all the crew members. Their eyes focused more intensely on him than any of the others. He cleared his throat and tried not to let it bother him. “Captain, are you alright?”

In a daze, pulled like a puppet on a string by some invisible force, they found their arms wrapped around Mark’s torso. The head engineer sputtered and fumbled for a moment, before resting his hands on their back.

He didn’t say anything as their body shook and trembled, or as a warm liquid began soaking into the shoulder of his uniform. Instead, he held them tighter.

“Captain… what happened?”

In my solitude

I’m praying

Dear Lord above

Send me back my love
