    Summary

    They meet for the first time in a landscape that is unusually beautiful, like in the painting of Lara’s and Cregennan’s first encounter that hangs in the Gallery of Glory. He names her - Lady of the Lake. And condemns himself to Merlin's fate. Maladie asserts that legends can only survive and be reborn if people keep entering them.

    The Swallow does bring rebirth and rejuvenation to the elves, but it is impossible to heal the whole world. Only the Waste Land of the (non)human heart.

    Summary

    A companion to The Break Before the Noise and Hold Me When I’m Quiet

    Each chapter is a standalone story with different POVs, timelines, and voices. You don’t need to read them in order. You don’t need to read the main series first, though it helps.
    Jess’s story is where it starts. Nancy’s comes next. Then Vivi, Rebecca, Margot, Ellen. (There are several Vivi and Jess chapters planned and they make me cry.) Each one is a thread. Pull one, and the whole thing unravels.

    Welcome to the architecture.

    Summary

    The wizarding world loses a child the night Voldemort falls.

    A child born precariously, scandalously, close to his parents' graduation.

    A Muggle finds him, swaddled in a blanket bearing his first name.

    Separated by accidental magic and raised entirely outside the magical world, Adrian Potter grows up believing he is Muggleborn.

    The local council does what councils do. By the time the wizarding world launches their frantic search for Adrian Potter, it's too late.

    The search for the missing Potter eventually fades. He is presumed dead.

    Harry Potter grows up exactly as canon dictates.

    No one lies. No one chooses wrongly.

    The conclusion simply sets, as conclusions do, when no new information arrives.

    Adrian is educated, sorted, and shaped under a classification that was never meant for him, while the wizarding world quietly closes a file it believes resolved.

    The file is torn open.

    Summary

    Instead of falling apart after their confrontation in Season 3, Episode 2, Cecil and Mark actually talk. And somehow, that changes everything.

    This is a slow-burn rewrite of Season 3 where they don’t fall into the same patterns. It’s about learning how to communicate, dealing with past trauma, and figuring out what something real between them might actually look like.

    Summary

    The house on the cliffs above Dover remembers everything. A mother's song in the garden, a father's pride, a brother's quiet, crushing sorrow. Now, two ghosts haunt its dusty halls.

    One is Marcus, the German pilot shot from the sky, a wounded phantom seeking refuge within its walls. He finds more than just shelter; he finds a name etched on a desk that connects his fate to hers in the most unforgivable way.

    The other is Lina, the daughter of the house, sent home on leave to mourn a family shattered by combat and self-destruction. She seeks solace in the familiar rooms of her past, but the war has followed her home.

    When the woman who made you a ghost and the man who haunts your home are trapped under the same roof, who is the prisoner, and who holds the key? In Hell's Fire Corner, the deadliest battle is the one fought in the silence between two enemies who have nothing left to lose.

    Summary

    *lolsies, yes I changed the summary, I hated it before*

    "It’s not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters.” — J. M. Barrie

    Family was always a curious thing to Taeui, what with being apart from his brother most of the time, and being subjected to his uncle's sly antics. He had thought, perhaps, since blood ties did not limit the concept, he could establish that foundation in someone else one day.

    Taeui didn't exactly think that 'someone else' would be an aloof sociopath and an astute 4-year-old.

    Yet as life moved on and love was purged through the fire of conflict, he couldn't help but adore the characteristics of his peculiar lifestyle

    Summary

    Perhaps Guts had only ever worshipped him like a wounded dog. With a devotion that was born out of something pitiful, whining, and irreparable. Some godless beast, curled up beneath the altar of a god—knowing naught about what it meant to be holy, but what it meant to be held in the arms of holiness.

    And perhaps Griffith had only ever held him there out of a desperation that had never been divine. It had been something far more deplorable; an uncontrollable fear for the dog turned sacrificial lamb, cradled in the arms of its executioner.

    Do you want to be a god? the taunting voice scratched on the inside of his skull, insistent. When he squinted open his eyes, he stared into the splendid figure of a knight above him—in the ageless falcon-crested helm and white-silver armor of a man that had died in what felt like a millennium ago.

    I do, Griffith rasped.

    Fool, said the White Hawk. Gods do not fall in love with mortal men.

    Summary

    ❝ thanatophobia:
    (n.) the phobia of losing someone you love ❞

    • • •

    This must've been the first dream about that night in many years. The first night terror in a month or two, actually. Percy was twenty-one now, years after the end of both wars and over a decade after that wretched night. However, he knew the ending scenes of his dream were far from what really happened. While he would have liked to introduce Gabe to the wrath of Medusa earlier, that only happened after his first quest. At ten years old after his mother's death, Percy did not stand up at fight. He ran. He ran and ran and ran until he collapsed in an alleyway, near ready to follow his mother's descent. He may have been successful, if he hadn't met Gotham's Dark Knight. Percy sat up in his bed, his memories effectively pushing the sleep from his system. Batman had scooped him up and whispered promises of a better life, one with his friend Bruce Wayne. Percy could never recollect how he ended up in a plush bed inside Wayne Manor that same night, or how he ended up joining the coveted Wayne family. All he knew of was the gentle hands of their butler tending to his wounds and the warm smiles of Bruce Wayne and his other ward: Dick Grayson.

    Summary

    “It was a marvelous night, the sort of night one only experiences when one is young. The sky was so bright, and there were so many stars that, gazing upward, one couldn't help wondering how so many whimsical, wicked people could live under such a sky.” -Dostoyevsky, White Nights.

    In Blanco, Texas, strange things have been happening that December. When the Winchester brothers arrive in town, they discover that an atmospheric phenomenon has coincided with the arrival of... too much good fortune. Fortune or misfortune that Dean Winchester would acquire, reminding him of the past when he had to care for Sam, even while grieving the death of his mother.

     

    Or: Dean Winchester is de-aged, he has issues and Sam... Sam does what he can. Set somewhere during season 2

    Summary

    Tamsy holds his arms apart enough for Rudo to see a line forming. “What most people are not aware of is this very thin line in between most things called a border,” he says quietly. “Because of that, they cross it even when they shouldn’t. Almost everyone has or will do so in the near future. You are not exempt from this line of fate, Rudo. The time will come—” He pauses to make sure he won’t be interrupted and tilts his head up slightly. When Tamsy looks up, he is smiling and Rudo isn’t. He continues, “When you will cross someone’s boundary, and when it does you must be prepared to deal with the consequences.”

    Rudo’s eyes could be piercing through Tamsy if Tamsy cared enough to let them.

    “The consequences of what?” Rudo asks, never tearing his gaze away from Tamsy’s gesture.

    “Of crossing that thin line,” Tamsy repeats.

    In which Tamsy has three conversations, each with a different answer.
