- Recommended by: KingKong118

Amaranthine by satan_copilots_my_tardis
- Recommended by:sodapop7665
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): White/Black Imposter/Crewmate
- Synopsis: Amaranthine: everlasting, unfading. “We had another chat too.” He offers very diplomatically. “Right.” There is no way you can run all the way to the cafeteria to call the emergency meeting. But maybe you can keep him talking, long enough for the lights to come back on. If nothing else that will make it harder for him to make a clean getaway. “Do you have these chats with my crewmates?” “No, none of them have ever seemed much for conversation after realizing what I am.” The crew of the Skeld is trapped. They count cycles instead of hours or days now. It all leaves Black with a lot of questions, and maybe all of these iterations are starting to drive him a little insane. Because asking the things that have been sent to kill his crewmates and himself has started to seem like a good idea.

- Recommended by:Emberflight
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): Cyan/Purple Cyan/Pink Crewmate/Crewmate

In a world of Grey by Ironichydra

- Recommended by: Progeny Ex Machina
- Synopsis: A human impostor and an alien impostor are both determined to prove they're the best assassin around. However, they discover feelings for each other along the way.
- Status: Complete
- Pairing: Cyan/Purple
- Comments: A humorous story about a competition that turns into Belligerent Sexual Tension. Features crewmates roughly as smart as your average Among Us player, who become Shippers On Deck after being killed, because why not. It also goes into some of the game mechanics from an In-Universe route, such as why impostors can't do tasks. Has a full-length sequel that develops the main characters, and three one-shots that veer into different genres (note that the first one-shot is NSFW).
