Summary
Aiz'wa did not anticipate a simple asteroid belt field trip turning into an ambush, or being locked in a cage by traffickers.
But now he has bigger things to worry about. Actually, smaller. Because no matter how small, unintimidating, or dare he say...cute... his new cellmate is, Aiz'wa is about to die.
After all, no one survives a Terran, right?

OR: Ranboo is having a very tough time and meets a human while in a humans are space orcs AU with Tommy as a human who is in spaceThis is an alliumduo fic but Ranboo and Tommy both form bonds with 3/4 SBI + Tubbo.
This is rated Teen for swearing, graphic depictions of violence, death, and other heavy topics such as kidnapping, so please heed the tags (this shouldn't need to be said but there is no sexual or romantic content in this fic).
HORRENDOUSLY SLOW UPDATES.

Deathworld Park by Charles_Rockafellor for feind

Summary
On a remote paradise garden-world, genetic engineers have created a deathworld recreational park. Now one of intergalactic civilization's most terrifying dreams has come true. Creatures known only to those hardy souls insane enough to travel the most inhospitable hellworlds now roam Deathworld Park, and all who wish can visit them.
Avery d'Arc, that galaxy-famous Deathworlder, the brightest star in the gossip column and the very talk of the metaphorical town, is invited as the celebrity guest to the exclusive opening, along with his Genomorph [alien] girlfriend Billie, and the Space-Catgirls áõŋː and raʔûR who came to visit and never left.
Designed by the brightest minds of a civilization the technology of which dwarfs imagining, all are assured of a perfectly safe and wonderful vacation....
NB: Close to a General rating, but still enough atmosphere with the Cat-girls that I chose a Teen rating to be on the safe side; at a friend's advice, however, I upgraded it to Mature on 11 Feb (it seems to be sort of in between the two, but when on the cusp, it's safer to err on the side of caution).

Summary
Tommy sighs, staring up at alien ceilings, breathing in alien air, probably and unfortunately digesting alien blood. He guesses he’s never breaking that two year Foster house streak. She probably thinks he ran away. He thinks what pisses him off the most. These aliens made him look like he couldn’t handle a measly fucking argument about curfew and ran away. He’s so pissed he could die.
Tommy stares at the unfamiliar planet, millions of miles away behind a glass pane, and still closer to him than home is.
Die.
Huh. With a quick heartbeat, and an impending sense of doom, he thinks: He just might.
Or, Aliens are assholes, and turns out, some of them are even human traffickers. Tommy learns soon enough that he values freedom more than trying to figure out what the fuck had to go wrong in his life to lead to him getting lost in outer-space.
Even more, Tommy learns right thereafter, that he loves Earth a little more than he originally thought.
