Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blue Sky is a Portal fanfic by Waffles, and is hosted on both LiveJournal and FanFiction.net. A Humanized Wheatley fic, it spans 15 chapters and it's one of the longest Portal fanfictions on FFN, clocking in at 176,808 words.It's been four years since Wheatley and the Space Core were launched into orbit around the moon. Chell has escaped and is living peacefully in a nearby town, GLaDOS is working on the Cooperative Testing Initiative, and all seems to going, if not well, at least fine. Then the Space Core gets blasted to bits by a passing meteor, knocking Wheatley out of orbit and into a collision course with Earth's surface. After he sends up a distress signal almost by accident, GLaDOS takes notice and decides she might have a use for the metal ball.What follows is an exploration of Wheatley- his pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses, talents and flaws. It also provides excellent voices for Chell, GLaDOS, and even ATLAS and P-Body.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It can be read on livejournal here, and Fanfiction.Net here. Head to the first link for some beautiful artwork accompanying each chapter. It is complete, and there is a sort of epilogue in the one-shot titled Kick as well as another (NSFW) one-shot taking place between the story's end and the epilogue titled The Itch.Check out the Blue Sky image page for lots and lots of fanart. It has two Fanmixes, The Blue Sky Fanmix of Musical Brazillance, and Blue Sky Music Madness. The former was compiled by the author's writing partner, and the latter is made up of fan suggestions. Both are located and available for download here. It also has its own original fan-written song, From the Monster, With Love, and a sung version of the in-universe turret song.A character page has finally been made but is currently under construction and in need of assistance.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })And for those suffering from the various uncontrollable emotions that this fic is sure to invoke, there is also a Blue Sky Support Group.Currently, there is a project underway to convert the nearly 180,000 word story into a fan-produced audiobook, fully-cast and unabridged. The creators began to publish the podfic online, one chapter at a time, on April 5th, 2014, and there was much rejoicing. Chapter One of the podcast has been released thus far.In case you haven't figured it out yet, this fic has a very loyal, very creative fanbase.

Tempting Fate: Cubicle-drone Wheatley does this in a flashback by stating that he '(doesn't) have anything life-altering planned in the foreseeable future.' Later, he tells Chell that he never, ever wants to set foot in the facility again- 'not even part of a foot, or even a finger.' He gets his wish... after a fashion.

Good is Not Nice: Chell has little use for social niceties, such as conversation, and has a strong ruthless streak. She's also merciless in dealing with threats, and not above using Wheatley as a frightened, shaking mouthpiece to warn Aaron of the dangers of "the northeast" in her place.

I Am What I Am: Wheatley decides that he isn't human, isn't a program, he just is in Chapter 14. Cynically played with in the case of GLaDOS - because of her inability to accept her humanity as Wheatley eventually does, and her repeated, futile attempts to delete Caroline, it's heavily implied that she is doomed to live a limited half-life for all eternity. An extremely well-done Be Yourself aesop.

Fortunately this is cleared up when Wheatley returns and saved her and the other Eaden inhabitants by sacrificing himself to shut down GLaDOS.

Grew Beyond Their Programming
 Blue Sky (Fanfic) / int_5c1d5030
comment
Grew Beyond Their Programming: Chell considers that Wheatley may have done this, as he has depths that no other Aperture Science core does, other than GLaDOS. And he even displays compassion in rare moments, which she pointedly lacks. Wheatley's backstory, however, provides a rare inversion of this trope: He was originally a human, but the Aperture scientists uploaded his brain into a computer and then cut his mind apart so it would fit into the programming they needed of him. Foxglove, however, is a clear-cut, straight example. She's far more than a simple communications tower, thanks in part to Garrett's hand-cobbled and slightly eccentric programming style. She is also far more than a simple scion of Aperture Science.

Cannot Spit It Out: At no point during the story do the characters or narration mention GLaDOS by name, referring to her largely as "Her", barring a brief mention of her full name. Also, no one uses the word "love" to refer to Chell and Wheatley's relationship, though just about everyone in Eaden already thinks they're dating.

comment
Foreshadowing: At one point, Wheatley asks the Hatfield twins which one is the evil twin. It later turns out that Foxglove has an "evil twin" in GLaDOS. Early on, Chell describes Wheatley's chattering as "listening to a radio constantly tuned to Twit FM." This foreshadows Wheatley hosting his own broadcast later on. In the first half of the story characters casually discuss the telepathy of the vortigaunts in what seems like a simple tie in to the Half-Life universe. Later, Wheatley begins to communicate by wireless with Foxglove and transmits himself to Aperture Laboratories. Pretty much everything said by the Oracle Turret(s). Wheatley at one point says "It is a far, far better thing that I do now, than I have ever done." He misattributes the quote, but later he sacrifices himself for Chell and Eaden, much like Sydney Carton did for Lucie Manette.

Informed Flaw: Pointedly averted, unlike in many similar fics. Although Wheatley is portrayed sympathetically, the author doesn't gloss over his flaws at all, and he really screws things up for himself because of them. Of course, that just makes it all the more heartwarming when he finally overcomes them and pulls a Heroic Sacrifice.

Affectionate Nickname: Romy has her nickname for Chell, “Michelle”. Wheatley refers to Ellie as 'Wellies'- although it's possible he thinks this is her real name. Foxglove refers to Wheatley as "[00004]".

Bad Future: Averted. The Combine has been defeated, and while the rebuilding process is slow going in rural areas, (they still can’t get good radio signal) things appear to be back to normal.

Height Angst
 Blue Sky (Fanfic) / int_e59315cf
comment
Height Angst: Wheatley gets upgraded from a spherical, fairly small computer body into a Hard Light humanoid body that is over six feet in height. He doesn't like this — getting used to limbs is hard enough without the excessive length, thank you very much — and he really wants to just fit in with humans.

Flanderization: Not the fic itself, but invoked In-Universe by the Aperture scientists, who messed with Wheatley's personality after putting him through Brain Uploading, so that the part of him that came up with terrible ideas would be dominant over all the rest of him.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: Exactly What It Says On The Trope. Blue and Orange do not see or understand things like humans do. For example, when GLaDOS sends them to the surface and they come across a pool of water, they actually find it incredibly disconcerting to find it is not lethal and seems to serve no purpose.

comment
Wreathed in Flames: Wheatley the hard-light hologram has the ability to clean himself off by activating the Incalcination cycle, which burns any offending material away at 2000 degrees Kelvin. Surprisingly - especially considering that flour is as explosive as gunpowder - nothing else gets burned aside from Chell's kitchen floor.

Easily Forgiven
 Blue Sky (Fanfic) / int_f36c4f98
comment
Easily Forgiven: Rather pointedly averted, as with Informed Flaw below. The only reason Chell responds to Wheatley's distress call in the first place is because she is aware that there were extenuating circumstances the first time he betrayed her (and because he's obviously being tortured by GLaDOS); after he nearly betrays her again (keyword: nearly) she makes it clear that he has exactly one more chance left; and after he blows that chance she cuts ties with him completely. He immediately pulls a Heroic Sacrifice and redeems himself, but still.

comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: Wheatley's redemption comes at a hefty cost, but his courage to face death and separation from Chell wins the safety of Eaden. And thanks to Caroline, Wheatley is granted his original human body and a life with Chell, while GLaDOS gets to go on testing, far, far away from them.

Ridiculously Human Robot: Wheatley, with his ability to feel pain and emote isn't actually an example of this. He used to be human, and had his mind placed into the core. All the other robots are noticeably inhuman, especially Orange and Blue.

Robot Names: Wheatley's complete identification code, according to Aperture Science, is 00004/[F]AS[IV]IDPC241105/AS[I]HRAD — which is short for "#4, Filetype: Aperture Science (4) Intelligence Dampening Personality Core (November 24, 2005); Aperture Science Interface: Human Relations Avatar Device". All A.I.s he meets acknowledges him as this, though one kindly abbreviates it to "00004."
