escape from isla nublar

words: 2.6k

warnings: jurassic world alternate universe, dinosaurs, violence, brief mentions of gore (but not detailed), illusions of sex but not actually written out, established relationship, soft!rafe, death tw, proposal, mentions of anxiety & panic attacks

a/n: im having a lot of fun with writing aus, so here! take another one!

“thank you so much for bringing me here, rafe.” you coo out, getting onto your tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek.

rafes arm slides around your waist, keeping you tugged in close as the boat approaches the dock of the island. you squeal along with all the children gathered around impatient and ready to jump off the boat and explore.

“welcome to isla nublar!” the voice of a friendly sounding woman says over the speakers. “please disembark slowly and carefully and enjoy your stay in jurassic park!”

“baby, can i just say-” rafe begins as the crowd shuffles forward, most with bags in their hands or suitcases being wheeled behind them, but rafe has already arranged to have them brought to your room so you can get right to exploring. 

“mhm.” you hum, encouraging him to continue.

“that you've been so chill this entire trip so far. proud of you.” it might sound weird to anyone else, but you've always gotten nervous when leaving your home for too long, worried something bad would happen. rafe saw it on your first trip he took you on where you tried and very much failed to hide your anxiety.

“im so excited there's like no room for nerves.” you giggle as you walk down the gangway. “and the fact that you let me plan everything. you know how much i love a schedule.”

“we are so different.” rafe shakes his head, hand squeezing yours as you step into the concrete, turning away from the crowds heading to the resort and towards the main street and the iconic innovation center.

“opposites attract.” you state, and it couldn't be more true, but rafe loves you more than he could ever envision caring about someone.

as you round the lagoon, trying to see if you're able to catch a glimpse of the giant mosasaurs in its depths, you feel your excitement levels only elevate more.

“oh my gosh, there's the petting zoo entrance.” you turn and pout to rafe.

“isn't that mostly for kids?” he raises a singular eyebrow.

“i mean yeah, but you also get to pet baby dinosaurs. totally worth it.” you tug him towards the entrance.

--

“okay.” you sigh, placing your hands on your hips. “i guess we should slow down so we have things to do for the rest of the trip.” 

“im already exhausted.” rafe chuckles. “how about dinner then to the hotel?”

as tired as rafe is, he's certainly not going to complain about being run around isla nublar when he gets to see the gleaming smile on your face every time he looks at you.

“sounds good… we could go to winstons steak house,” you point in one direction, then the other “jurassic cafe, or the brachiosaurus restaurant.”

“how about whatever is closest.” rafe rubs his hand over his face.

“okay steak house it is.” it's your turn to take rafes hand. 

he barely manages to stay awake through dinner, and by the time you're back at the hotel, he's passed out on the bed before he can change into his pajamas.

--

“what would you like to do today?” you ask rafe. “anything but that hang gliding, you know how i feel about heights.”

“the gyrospheres look fun.” rafe shrugs and looks at the map pulled up on your phone. “or kayaking.”

“why not both.” you toss your phone to the side and cup rafes cheek, bringing your lips together in a kiss.

“you're the best boyfriend ever.”

rafe places a hand on your shoulder and pushes you down onto the mattress, laying you back.

“we can wait a little bit though, right?” the smirk on his face gives him away.

“i think that would be fine.” you giggle, pulling rafes shirt off over his head.

--

“that was actually so fun.” you hum out.

“it was when you let me drive and we could finally go fast.” rafe says. you were halfway through the gyrosphere tour when you handed the controls over to rafe, allowing him to speed through the ankylosaurus herds.

“but we will not be doing that on the kayak.” you hold your finger up.

“yes ma’am.” rafe says, slipping the attendant a $20 bill to move you to the front of the line, not wanting you to have to wait.

“life vest.” rafe says, slipping it over your head while he just grabs his and throws it into the kayak, not planning on putting it on unless something happens.

rafe helps you step down into the kayak, grabbing the paddle knowing he's going to sit in the back and do all the work.

--

“this is so beautiful.” you say, leaning back into your seat as you look at the stegosaurus and it's long neck reaching up to grab the leaves, his feet submerged in the water as you paddle past.

“this might be even better than the velociraptors.” rafe says.

“wait-” you sit up. “whats that sound? is that a radio?”

it takes a second for rafes ears to pick it up, but he can hear the frantic static of voices over a walkie talkie.

rafe continues to paddle, realizing suddenly that you've separated from all the other kayaks and can't see anyone. he brings the kayak closer to the side when he hears the radio as you reach out to pick it up from the muddy bank.

you turn the volume knob up as you try to make out what the voice is saying through the water logged speaker.

“we sent the containment unit out with nonlethal force and they're all dead! immediate evacuation, get everyone inside and back to the hotel!”

“rafe…” you turn towards him, eyes widening in fear.

“im sure it's just some kid pulling a prank.” rafe takes the radio, finding the speech button and pressing it. “what is going on?”

“who is that? this is an authorized channel.” one voice says before another cuts it out.

“whoever you are, seek shelter immediately. the indominus rex is on the loose, currently heading towards-” the radio sparks and then dies out.

“shit.” rafe hits it against his thigh, but it's clearly no use.

“rafe.” your voice is already shaking. “the indominus rex. i don't know what it is, but it doesn't sound good.”

“okay.” rafe stands up and steps out of the kayak, pulling it onto the bank before helping you out. “baby-” he places his hands on your shoulders. “i need you to stay calm. you know this island like the back of your hand. where are we?”

“we-” you take a deep, shaking breath. “we are halfway through the kayak adventure. we should head just west and find the road to the aviary.”

“okay.” rafe presses a kiss to your forehead. “let's go quickly and quietly. im sure they've already contained whatever dinosaur escaped.”

“yeah.” you nod, gulping, not so sure.

rafes steady hand stays in yours, helping you over bushes and downed trees.

“shouldn't be much farther.” you bite your lip, hoping you didn't get the direction wrong.

“hang on.” rafe whispers, placing a finger over his lips. 

before you can fully comprehend what's happening, he's tugging you down under a giant tropical plant, the leaves hiding you as you hear whatever rafe did, the pounding footsteps of dinosaurs.

“that's the stegosaurus we saw earlier.” you remember the distinct marking along its side.

“get over here.” rafe pulls you in tighter, not allowing you to see as he presses you against the stem of the large plant, covering your body with his own.

“it's okay, it's a herbivore.” you say, when you hear the second set of dinosaur footsteps following it. you tense up, and you can feel a panic attack setting in as you pick your head up to see some sort of giant rex running after it.

you both stay still and silent until it's clearly far enough away.

“rafe.” you tremble as you turn into your back, his body still hovering over yours, protecting you, willing to put himself in the line of danger if he needs to.

“it's okay.” his voice is betraying how scared he is as well, but he's going to try his best to not let you see it. “let's just get to the aviary.”

“i-i can't.” you shake your head. “im fucking terrified.” 

“me too, baby.” he says. “but we gotta get under cover somewhere before that thing catches up to the stegosaurus and comes back for us.”

you swallow deeply, eyes closing for a brief minute, gaining all your courage you possibly can.

“okay.” you're up and moving quickly, running towards the aviary. your steps are no longer balanced and cautious, moving quickly through the jungle until you make it through the trees to the grassy plane.

“the aviary!” you point at the large glass dome, just in time to see a helicopter careening into it, smashing a hole that instantly has pterodactyls flying out.

“shit!” rafe shouts, tugging you back into the treeline.

“we're gonna die.” you sob out, not able to hold back your tears as you crumple to the ground.

“no.” rafe says firmly. “i will not lose you.”

he knows he needs to move, especially as the pterodactyls come closer, and he doesn't have time to console you enough to get you ready to move.

rafe reaches down and pulls you into his arms, hugging your shaking form against his chest as he follows the same path of disturbed leaves and muddy footprints back to the river.

“i need you to paddle.” rafe says, glad your kayak is still in the same space. “i know you're scared, but you need to help me here. we need to go fast.”

you sniffle and look up at rafe, your big eyes filled with tears causing his heart to pang out in pain. “okay.”

rafe bends down, pressing your lips together in a soft and caressing kiss before climbing onto the back of the kayak.

you both immediately begin to paddle hastily, not knowing where the next meat eating dinosaur could be.

“the river goes underground then should let us off near main street.” you tell rafe, eyes briefly closing to envision the map in your head before putting your entire focus back onto paddling.

“baby, still.” rafe says softly, both of you pausing as you look upwards, seeing pterodactyls wings flapping over, thankfully not seeming to notice you under the treetops, yet you still wait until they pass over before beginning to paddle again.

“there's the cave.” you say, pointing as the river bends and you head underground, lights strung along the cave ceiling as you paddle underground, able to take a deep breath now that you're under cover.

“are there any dinosaurs in this cave?” rafe questions, helping you move back so you're leaned against him. 

“shouldn't be.” you say, eyes closing as your adrenaline drops now that you're mostly safe.

“go ahead and rest.” rafe hums as he paddles, looking down at you in relief.

--

“y/n.” rafe shakes your shoulder and you sit up with a gasp, looking around, waiting to see the indominus rex charging at you.

“it's okay.” rafe says. “we're just leaving the cave.”

“so that wasn't all just a nightmare?” you sit up, knowing you must not have been asleep that long, but already feeling majorly refreshed.

“im afraid not.” rafe sighs as you grab your paddle to help steer.

“so this let's out…”

“near the resort. we should be safe there.” you squint into the dying sunlight as the kayak leaves the caves and enters into the large man-made lake.

you both quickly steer to the side, glad to be out of the kayak and on your own two feet.

“to the resort.” you say, able to tell that there are still people running from main street in that direction.

rafe is about to toss the paddle back into the boat when a screech comes from overhead and you both look up to see a pterodactyl perched over cave entrance.

“run!” rafe yells, not turning his back from the dinosaur to see that you haven't moved an inch, not leaving him.

the pterodactyl lunges forward just as rafe swings his paddle at it, hitting it in the beak, but it only enrages the dinosaur more.

you move quickly to grab your paddle, joining rafe in hitting at it, keeping the snapping beak away from pecking at your skin.

“baby, go.” rafe grunts out.

“no! im not leaving you.” you keep slapping at its beak and head until it gets annoyed and roars before taking off to the sky.

“fuck.” rafe groans. “i hate dinosaurs. sorry baby.”

“that's okay.” you say with a slight laugh. “i don't think i like them that much anymore either.”

you take off towards the resort, keeping your oars held tightly in your hands, just in case any pterodactyls try something.

“onto the ship or into the resort?” you question, seeing people trying to get into both.

rafe opens his mouth to respond when a roar rips through the air.

he looks around quickly, pulling you into taller grass, not having any other close cover.

“some of the gates must be down.” you whisper.

“why?” rafe questions, not doubting you as his eyes search through the field before you point at the crowd of people, even more frantic as you watch from a distance.

“because there's a metriacanthosaurus.”

the name makes rafe blink harshly before he sees it, the dinosaur flinging people around as it takes advantage of the hoards of people trying to get to cover.

“oh my god.” you cover your mouth, watching as the carnivore rips someone in half.

“don't watch.” rafe pulls you further into the grass, tucking you against his chest.

you close your eyes and focus on his arm wrapped around your shoulder instead of the screams.

“i got you.” rafe whispers, free hand tapping his shorts to make sure the box is still there in his pocket.

“i know.” you press your lips into his neck. “i know.”

gunshots ring out and rafe looks out of the grass to see that the dinosaur has finally brought down and everyone is safely inside.

“okay, let's run.” rafe helps you stand, deciding to head towards the boat instead of the hotel, knowing it's just one step closer to getting you safe.

you take off in a run, entering up the gangway you went down just yesterday morning.

“inside the cabin.” one of the staff says quickly, ushering you through the glass doors into the packed hallway of people, but rafe keeps moving, tucking you into him until you're towards the front of the boat, able to move up a level and find a place to sit down.

“we're okay.” you say as you relax into the sofa. “we’re alive.”

“i love you.” rafe says, head dropping to your shoulder. “im never talking you on another vacation like this again, but i love you.”

“and i thought you were protective before.” you chuckle, breathing out heavily.

“really ruined my whole plan though.” rafe knows that you both just experienced a trauma that will no doubt need to be unpacked later, but you're just happy to be safe inside the cruise ship.

“what plan?” you lift your head up.

“not the best time but-” rafe sits up and pulls a box out of his pocket. “i planned to ask you in front of the waterfall, all romantic and sweet. but i don't want to waste a single moment longer.”

rafe flicks the top of the box up to reveal a glimmering ring. “will you marry me?”

you let out a squeal and jump into rafes arms, “yes!”

TF2 x JP/JW

Team Fortress 2 x Jurassic Park/World AU (DINO version) Pt.4

"PSST, human, could I join your experiment?"

The two Medics. The vibrant one is based on a toy figurine (which is not related to the jp franchise)

"Prepare for your examination"

The vibrant colored Medic would like to work with the scientists but they won't let him. He needs something new to experiment on or new equipment to use (in other words: more stimuli)

[fryingpan1234567]

putting the 141, who is already military, into sub-military aus is so special to me

Top Gun au so I can put them in planes. dope ass painted flight helmets with their callsigns across the back. Laswell and her wife own a bar that the boys like to frequent and cause trouble in. also an excuse to stick them on the California coast

Halo au because SPARTAN ARMOR?? alien warfare?? mostly the armor HELP I just wanna give Gaz a giant energy sword please

PacRim au to put them in giant robots. and so I can fuck w drift compatibility. bomber jackets with their names and jaeger insignias stitched on the sleeves and backs. bullying recruits who just wanna punch aliens. I know this one’s already been written (AMAZING fic do check it out) but still it’s everything

Avatar au because… what’s not to love? giant blue aliens with guns and pterodactyls and floating mountains?? yeah dude I am ALL in (I’m also kinda writing this if you wanna see sooo)

SCP au simply because that would be so fucking funny. “goddamn it people are going missing at IKEA again let’s fuckin move out I guess” “IF THAT FUCKING PEANUT BREACHES CONTAINMENT ONE MORE FUCKING TIME—“ “huh this house sure is weird I hope none of us get turned into code and lag out of existence” LIKE CAN YOU IMAGINE

Monsterverse because I think seeing Ghost’s reaction to Godzilla crawling out of a mountain and turning pink would just… cure me. Price has sympathy for the monsters but also just wants to protect all the humans in their path. Soap LOVES all of them (Mothra is his personal favorite) and punched a higher-up who suggested bombing a recently discovered nest one time. Gaz is mostly just in awe of them all, but they also give him anxiety because just one of them could flatten an entire house with one step. they be vibin

Jurassic World because my dinosaur fixation started when I was four and never went away. I’ll fight all of you. raptor trainer Ghost?? paleoveterinarian Soap who’s friends with all the dinos?? head of security Price and head park management Gaz?? please (I’m also writing this one)

like yes. they still do the military thing. but slightly to the left. I could do it all day

"Can you feel my heart beating?" pierresteban

Send me a pairing and a prompt <3

You get a snippet from the Jurassic World AU, because I felt like finally doing something in that silly little universe. A soft Pierresteban below the cut, featuring the Indominous Rex as a guest character.

The situation they've found themselves in leaves a lot to be desired. Pierre is soaking wet (to be fair, so is Esteban, but he isn't exactly in the mood to care about him right now), and pressed so tightly against the wall that his back is starting to ache.

The situation they've found themselves in leaves a lot to be desired. Pierre is soaking wet (to be fair, so is Esteban, but he isn't exactly in the mood to care about him right now), and pressed so tightly against the wall that his back is starting to ache.

Both of them are breathing hard, too hard, and Pierre can distinctly hear the sound of booming footsteps advancing towards them over the roar of the waterfall they're hiding behind. His back is uncomfortably pressed against a wall of rock, and his chest is even more uncomfortably jammed against Esteban's within the tight space they have to keep from falling a good sixty or so feet down into the chasm below.

Pierre can feel how hard Esteban's chest is heaving with his heavy breaths, and it does nothing to settle the panic buzzing within his own veins. The footsteps are loud and threatening, booming around right near the mouth of the waterfall they disappeared behind only moments prior.

When the footsteps stop, however, is when Pierre's blood really begins to run cold.

"Where is she?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper. His entire body is trembling with fear as he listens for any sounds of the indominous rex - anything that could give him a clue as to where exactly she might be.

He feels Esteban's hands move slowly, and they come to rest on the back of his head. With a little force, Esteban moves Pierre's head from facing the waterfall, away to the opposite side of the wall. "What - what are you doing?"

"Shh." Esteban hisses, holding Pierre ever closer against him. Pierre swallows thickly and tries to understand what's happening - but Esteban moved his gaze away for a reason and, well, Pierre is just going to have to trust in that decision. Surely there's good reason.

"Esteban, I -"

"Can you feel my heart beating?" Esteban says suddenly, cutting off Pierre's entire train of thought. His brain blanks for a moment, utterly confused by the question, but he furrows his brows and takes a second to think about his answer. Sure enough, not only can he feel Esteban's heart pounding against his own chest, but if he really focuses on it, he can hear it beating over the sound of the roaring waterfall as well.

He nods his head. "Yes."

"Good, focus on that for a little bit." Esteban replies, his voice calm and steady in stark contract to the frantic rhythm his heart plays in his chest. But Pierre does as he is told - Esteban is the professional with the dinosaurs in his situation, whatever he's planning is the only hope either of them have at getting out of this alive.

So Pierre closes his eyes and he listens. All the while oblivious to the snout of the indominous rex being mere inches away from them both, and oblivious to the way Esteban's body shakes perhaps even more viciously than his own. He remains still as a board, counting the rapid beats of Esteban's heart as he hears them, and doesn't open his eyes again until the mercilessly quick rhythm slows down to something calmer and more normal.

"Is she gone?" he asks, almost afraid to know the answer.

He hears Esteban sigh, the taunt muscles in his body relaxing with the motion. Hope blossoms in Pierre's chest as Esteban's words finally come in a gentle whisper, "Yes, Pierre, she is gone now. It's safe."

@homelander-rp-blog iked for a starter from Trevor! [Jurassic World verse]

Trevor emerged from the shadows, his men forming a circle around the stranger they'd caught snooping around the camp. They had their weapons pointed, but wouldn't shoot unless Trevor gave the signal.

"Well, I can't say I've seen you around these parts," he spoke through a light smirk, hand resting on his own firearm latched to his side - it was instinct, at this point. Too many other dinosaur poachers out there wanted Trevor dead. All the more reason for him to believe he was at the top of the food chain.

Now only a few feet from the stranger, Trevor stopped to look him up and down before finally speaking again. "What brings you to my camp? Let's hope you weren't trying to steal anything. I'd hate to feed such a pretty face to Moonshine - though, she is pretty fucking hungry."

Summary: Running the world's only dinosaur theme park was never going to be the safest job, but thanks to the park's newest attraction, it's become an accident waiting to happen -- and like all accidents, it happens at the worst possible time. For Jurassic World's chief operations officer Bard Bowman and resident raptor expert Thranduil Oropherion, Take-Your-Kids-To-Work Day just got real.

Chapter 4 has arrived! Here's an excerpt:

So far, Day 2 of the kids’ visit is going great. They met Dis and her family for breakfast, and Dis’s kids and Bard’s kids seem like they get along okay. Thorin was there, too – and so was Bilbo the reporter, for some reason Dis told Bard she’d tell him about later. After breakfast they split up, Sigrid going with Thorin to the labs for the day and Dis taking Tilda, Kili, and Bilbo with her to look at the nursery. Fili was supposed to go with them, but he begged off, going to the lab with Thorin and Sigrid instead. Bard likes that about as much as he’d like a loose dinosaur on Main Street, but nothing’s going to happen with Thorin right there. That just leaves Bard with Bain, and a really awkward phone call to make. He can’t find Thranduil’s number. Bain is getting impatient. “He’s your friend from work and you don’t have his phone number?”

[destiny-in-the-universe]

is anyone willing to hear me ramble about one of these ideas later?

your options are;

Dino Mickey redesign!

New vs old

Based off the Indoraptor, this version of Mickey is a highly trained hybrid who follows the orders of his keeper, Melona, very closely. He's often used to help other dinosaurs get used to socialization before they are introduced to others of their kind due to his calming nature.

something ridiculous but cool

Jurassic World AU

So yeah, stupid idea. But someone might like it.

The Bad Batch/Jurassic World

Crosshair is the Utahraptor trainer, there are five in the pack. Obviously he's the alpha, but they do have a raptor in charge.

Said raptor in charge is Mayday, the other four are Vista, Recoil, Trigger, and Lightning.

Really just for cool raptor trainer Crosshair because awesome

Mayday the Utahraptor is not the character, she's just named after him.

What the raptors look like:

Mayday

Vista

Recoil

Trigger

Lightning

This is the Picrew I used

[funtimespringscare101]

@chaosverse-mainblog Finally finished this piece for Pride Month! My Sexuality Headcanons for who I consider to be the main crew of the AU, along with the other movie characters, of course...

Indy and Jack are, of course, both Bisexual as previously confirmed. Jack has a male lean and Indy has a female lean. Short Story short, like father like daughter.

Julie is Pansexual, like as previously confirmed. She discovered this after the first encounter with Penny, who is now her girlfriend. This definitely was for the better for Julie, character development wise...

And finally... The one I've been dying to show off.... Everybody... I present to you, in her finalized glory... Indy's sister, Costa! For her design, I went for a Underground Street Fighter vibe, with my inspirations primarily being Hobie Brown from ATSV and Vi from Arcane. Costa is also AroAce, meaning she is someone who feels little to no romantic or sexual attraction.

I headcanon that Costa kept a Jurassic World pin Jack gave her when she was young as a way to remember both him and Indy after the smugglers took her.

The tooth on Costa's necklace is actually Indy's from when they were young, she grabbed it before the smugglers came and kept it as the thing to remember Indy by.

[chaosfindsaway]

@mixedmysteries Plotted starter with Trevor [Jurassic World AU]

The war between dinosaur poachers raged on. Trevor never had any doubts that his camp was the best out there, but a particular thorn in his side had been getting in the way a lot more than he liked.

Rainn Delacourt.

The other poacher - dumb as he was but somehow able to manage - had been making bank making deals with Biosyn. Currently, Biosyn wouldn't turn to anyone else except Delacourt. Trevor needed to change that. Fast.

The answer to all his prayers came in the form of a woman. Cyra Lovejoy. Trevor had heard of her dealings - he knew her resources were capable of turning the tide for him. And he wasn't below offering his own resources if it meant overtaking Delacourt.

After having tracked her down to the bakery she owned, he pushed the doors open and sauntered in, arms wide open. "Well fuck me sideways! Doesn't this place just smell amazing?" He shouted out, a cocky grin sitting high upon his lips. "I'll have two cupcakes and a partnership please!"

It takes less than five minutes for the Jeep ride to get awkward, and Bard’s perfectly happy to blame it on his passenger. Oropherion isn’t wearing shoes, and when Bard offered to turn around so he could grab some, he said no. The second he got in the car, he reclined his seat back all the way, propped his filthy feet up on the dashboard, and closed his eyes. Bard tolerates it for exactly three minutes. He knows how long it is because he’s been watching the clock.

“Look,” he finally says, “if I crash this car, you’re going to break both your legs.”

Dialogue #4

“Kim Taehyung, you snuck a dinosaur into the Hageum Hills…”

“Do you just expect to walk him like a puppy with Yeontan?”

“What if he eats Yeontan?”

The juvenile raptor strokes Taehyung’s face as if saying he would never commit such a crime.

“How do you even plan to feed him?”
