34	* Recommended by Tropers/{{celestialmoonfire}}
35	* ''Status'': Complete
36	* ''Synopsis'': People were being hurt, and Murkoff was making money. Miles Upshur had plans to gather the evidence that would finally break those bastards, but what he finds waiting for him in Mount Massive is more than he bargained for. Armed with only a camera and his tenacity, would he be able to survive the nightmares fabricated by the minds of broken men?
37	* ''Tags'': Horror/Suspense
38	* ''Comments'': As the title implies, the fanfic is a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin novelization of Outlast]]. The characterization is amazing and feels even realer than you would believe.

44	* ''Synopsis'': All they wanted to do was find someone that could help them with their car. Or at least use a working phone in order to call Roadside Dispatch. But what starts out as a simple road trip gone wrong for two feuding siblings soon turns into a deadly fight for survival as they find themselves stranded near Mount Massive Asylum.
45	* ''Tags'': Rated M for violence, language, sexual content, Horror, and Suspense
46	* ''Comments'': I have just caught up with this fanfic and I am very glad I started reading it! The first two chapter where kind'a boring, BUT after that it's GREAT! I've love all the action and thrills! Seriously go read this fanfic!

84	* Recommended by: Sophiebybophie
85	* ''Status'': Complete
86	* ''Synopsis'': Set after the events of the game. Miles and Waylon travel across the country dodging the police, military, and Murkoff security teams as they try to bring the corporation down. Running out of money becomes the least of their concerns. Miles struggles with controlling the Walrider and the separation from his family slowly tears Waylon apart. The Aftermath at Mount Massive picks up right where the game left off with Miles in the asylum. It turns out that living in the now abandoned facility comes with a few problems beyond finding food and water.
87	* ''Tags'': SLOWBURN, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Blood, Gore, Cannibalism, Self-Harm, and Suicide Attempt
88	* ''Comments'': Oh my god! I used to follow this Author back when they were into another fandom, and let me tell you, they are AMAZING writers! To see they've written for the Outlast fandom makes me want to scream! GO READ THIS STORY! The writing is simply amazing, fair bit of warning, this is a SLOWBURN.

116	* ''Synopsis'': On the run, Waylon Park manages the best he can while hiding in foreign locations, and dodging Murkoff agents around every corner. He's been separated from his family and dealing with considerable mental health issues. He thought he was the only survivor of the Mount Massive Asylum riot, until a shadowy man showed up with an ax to grind. But perhaps together they stand a better chance of combining their resources, and finishing the last of Murkoff once and for all. If they don't kill each other, first.

143	* ''Comments'': A novelization of ''Outlast,'' but with a rather unusual twist: soon after his first encounter with Chris Walker, Miles encounters and develops a [[FireForgedFriends fire-forged friendship]] with Chara, one of the asylum's "patients." And it ''works,'' somehow. The characterization is excellent, the writing is detailed and does a good job at depicting how the events of the game change Miles, and Chara fits into the narrative surprisingly well, though their presence doesn't change the overall plot ''too'' much. And the best part is: there's a sequel planned. Just... read it, okay? You won't regret it.

151	* ''Comments'':Ada's Desire chapter 13 . Aug 28: Dumbledore pulled a pretty sneaky move there using Tonks as a distraction. I have to admit when I first read that Dumbledore had been taken captive I remember thinking to myself that it all seemed a bit too easy. The fact that Dumbledore came up with an ambush strategy just proves my point that Harry, while now extremely powerful, clearly lacks the proper experience to deal with other powerful sorcerers. I think you managed to show that very well so good job with that. So Dumbledore is the secret founder of Murkoff, or if not the founder, is at least a major financial backer. Sounds about right. This raises the question of just what else he's up to. If he's involved with something as corrupt as Murkoff then what other forms of muggle groups is he connected too? The blackmail potential is just screaming to be uncovered..Rapture Columbia chapter 2. Dec 14, 2017:Oh my God! I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for a Harry Potter story with Outlast. I have so many questions like Does this mean that Harry's going to eventually become the new Walrider? Is he going to meet Gluskin? And what about Temple Gate?
