Blynn

Blynn is the het ship between Blake Langermann and Lynn Langermann from the Outlast fandom.

Canon
In their youth, Blake and Lynn attended St. Sybil High School, where they were close friends. By 2013, they were married and working together – Lynn as an investigative journalist and Blake as her cameraman.

Outlast 2
In 2013, Blake and Lynn are investigating the murder of a Jane Doe. Their search takes them to the Arizona desert. Before they reach their detestation, they’re transported via helicopter where Blake wakes from a nightmare, saying another woman’s name – Jessica, much to the slight amusement of Lynn. She questions who “Jessica” is and Blake informs her it’s their mutual childhood friend, Jessica Gray who died back in 1995. Hearing this, Lynn drops the issue and goes back to work. She asks Blake to pull out the camera so they can record an intro to her piece. A minute later, a bright white light flashes, stunning the helicopter’s engine, sending them into a free fall. Lynn falls out the side door, only saved by Blake grabbing hold of her hand. As she’s pulled back inside, Blake brings her close and caresses her cheek in a comforting gesture as there is nothing they can do to save themselves.

Sometime later, Blake wakes at the crash site, with Lynn nowhere in sight. He calls out to her though to no avail. Blake records the site, obtaining “” recording, where he comments to himself Lynn’s body is not in the wreckage, and how she could still be alive. Blake soon locates a rural settlement in the distance where he wonders into to find help and Lynn. He over hears a man’s, Sullivan Knoth, voice saying “God has sent us this woman,” with Blake immediately shouting Lynn, knowing it must be her Knoth’s referring to. Blake cannot see her, though Lynn’s gag is removed and he hears her plead to Knoth. Knoth claims Lynn is pregnant with the Enemy – the Anti-Christ. Blake works his way through the building when he hears Lynn yell for Knoth to “get his hands off her”. Moments later she jumps out of a window, to which Blake witnesses. Blake then too jumps out of another window, rushing to her side. The two’s reunion is short lived as Lynn runs away with Blake quickly following behind. Blake questions where they’re going, only for Lynn to answer “away from here”.

Blake and Lynn run into the forest, where soon after Lynn complains of intense stomach pain, forcing her to stop and rest. Knoth’s voice rings out; proclaiming Lynn is pregnant again, as he “performed the examination himself”. Blake is stunned, asking if that’s true, only for Lynn to reply she can’t talk about it, only for them to just leave this place. Blake agrees, and the two continue forward. Their escape is short lived as they’re blocked by a few men following the orders of Knoth. Blake is punched in the face and wrestled to the ground as Lynn is subdued herself. Blake shouts for the men to get off of her and to leave her alone. Moments later, a different group of people arrive – the Heretics, and kill the attacking men. The leader of the Heretics, Val, instead subdues and abducts Lynn, leaving Blake battered and bruised and too stunned to run after Lynn.

Later in the night, Blake sneaks into Temple Gate’s chapel and overhears the torture of a man and women. Knoth wants to know of Lynn’s location, to which the man ultimately gives attempting to save the woman. He reveals Val has taken Lynn up to the mountains, in the old mines.

Blake journeys to the old mines and upon falling 800 feet in a mine elevator, he hears Lynn faintly screaming. Venturing further into the mines, Blake comes across skinned corpses. He records the site, obtaining the “” recording, commenting he has to find Lynn and hoping that he just hadn’t. Blake stumbles into a muddy cavern where he is apprehended by the Heretics. He demands to know what they’ve done to Lynn and where she is. The mine rumbles, causing large rocks to fall onto those holding Blake, allowing him the chance to run away from Val.

Upon evading Val a couple of times, Blake slips down a rock slide, where he has a Heretic blow a dizzying substance into his face, causing him to lose focus, though remaining conscious. He stumbles forward into an open area with other Heretics bowing to a restrained Lynn. Blake sees her and yells out her name, with Lynn responding back, screaming for Blake to help her. Val attacks Blake once more, climbing on up of him as Lynn screams “no” to Blake’s predicament.

The Heretics are soon attacked by the Temple Gate’s cultists, releasing Blake from Val. Blake hears Lynn screaming and runs to her. He sees she’s pregnant and near to giving birth. Lynn claims the baby is his, however earlier Blake had commented how he and Lynn hadn’t had sex in months. Nevertheless, Blake promises he’ll protect Lynn and the baby. As morning rises, a storm in in full force outside the mines, Blake and Lynn emerge and begin their escape. Lightning strikes, frightening the pair into seeking shelter. They locate a nearby devastated home. Blake tries to help Lynn down a ladder, though another lightning strike occurs, startling them into causing Lynn to fall onto her back. Blake apologizes and rushes down to help Lynn back up. In intense labor pains, Lynn wants to lie down and rest for a minute, however she and Blake are caught by Marta, Knoth’s right-hand woman. Blake and Lynn evade Marta for a moment before she crashes though a wooden wall. Blake moves to shield Lynn behind him as Marta readies to kill him with her modified pickaxe. As the storm intensifies, Marta is suddenly impaled by a church cross. With Marta dead, Lynn rushes for Blake, relieved he’s alive and hugs him while on her knees.

Outside the shelter, Blake and Lynn notice a pathway leading to the Temple Gate’s chapel. Blake lies Lynn down on the first flat surface he sees, a racking device. Lynn gives birth to a baby girl and has Blake cradles the newborn in his arms to show Lynn, she says, “There’s nothing there.” Lynn succumbs to her injures and dies. Blake sobs out her name and shakes her, to no avail. Blake soon passes out.

Blake awakes to Knoth sitting next to him, asking if that’s “the child”. Knoth commits suicide after a short one-side conversation. Blake leaves the chapel with the newborn in hand.
