Summary
Prologue, The Princess They Created
They said the seven of us were a miracle.
Seven boys. One dream. One stage. One name.
When we debuted, the world called us fresh, youthful, pure, “the future of the industry.” They also called me something else:
Seon Han, the princess.
Cute. Soft. Delicate.
A boy who looked better in makeup than some actresses, a boy whose smile melted fans instantly, a boy they loved to tease like I was porcelain that would break if someone breathed too hard near me.
At first, I thought it was protection.
Later, I learned it was a cage.
They thought I was transparent, easy to read, easy to please.
But fame changes everyone, even the ones who swore they wouldn’t.
And I changed too.
Not softer, but sharper.
For years, I laughed, let them carry things for me, let them wipe my sweat, let them call me princess.
Until one day…
I woke up hating it.
Maybe because I wanted to be normal.
Maybe because I wanted to be loved not for being soft, but for just being Seon Han.
The problem is… no one knew who that really was.
Not even me.

Summary
Rataje is haunted by a ghost of a long dead lord who died under mysterious and heartbreaking circumstances. When Geralt and Jaskier stop at the town before parting ways for the winter, Jaskier finds himself desperate to find out more about the ghost. However, everyone in town is skittish about giving the full story, so when Geralt leaves for a hunt in the nearby woods, Jaskier takes investigating the ghost of Jan Ptáček into his own hands.
Though if Jaskier isn’t careful, his bubbling bitterness about being left behind again might be heard by a kindred spirit.
Meanwhile, Geralt’s supposedly run of the mill hunt takes a dark turn when the ghost he’s hunting reveals a centuries old murder.
-
“Ah, so you like love stories, is that it?” Jaskier murmured. The presence stayed. In fact, Jaskier felt distinctly like he was being watched to his left. So much so that he actually turned his head to the side, preparing himself for the fright of finding a ghastly face looking back at him. There wasn't. “Long ago, two knights met on the field of battle in the wine-soaked fields of Toussaint..."
Knowing Kingdom Come: Deliverance isn't required to read, but basic knowledge of the Witcher is.

Summary
If something is not pleasing to the eye, there is nowhere it can ever belong .
————Flipping through the book, he held up the shard when he stopped on a certain page. Angling the sharpest edge to the middle connecting the pages, he dragged it downwards, even while the noise made bad tingles go down his spine, making him wanna tear his dough off or pick at his nails.
Blue and black flashed in his eyes like a swirling whirlpool, pulling a veil over his eyes and forcing him to submit to a pool of time.
It burned. It pulled at his dough, tearing and kissing the open galaxies. It hurt. He could feel his mouth opening to scream, but he couldn’t hear the animal-like screech that followed.
Fount of Knowledge gasped when the burning died down finally but slowly, eyes blinking open. It looked like his Other-Realm. But instead of the stars that consumed it, there were... clocks. And the clocks were a pumpkin orange, not a sunlight-drizzled golden.
⊰ Or : !! ⊹ฺ
Fount of Knowledge, faced with a future he cannot bear, swaps places with Shadow Milk Cookie. Will he be able to redeem himself in his future self’s spot, or will he be swallowed by the flames of Deception?

Summary
Sargon was a weapon. And like a weapon, he had been forged by searing flames and unbearable heat; his hardships made him a more formidable warrior. This also meant, like a weapon, he knew he was only useful if he could fight and defend. Weapons that broke were smelted back into molten metal, or were placed on display and forgot about in some nobleman’s house, gathering dust as it had gathered kills during its prime.
Sargon was a broken weapon.After the final battle with Vahram, Sargon is faced with his greatest challenge yet: learning to live life without his right arm

That Soft Glow by Anonymous

Summary
Her son’s soulmark, the one held closest to his heart, had a soft, golden glow peeking out from underneath the medical bandages. The glow seemed to become brighter, though not overpowering. Soft, comforting light. It reminded her of the sun, in a way.
As her eyes adjusted, she found she couldn’t have been more right.
Over her son’s heart spells the name Apollo, in gold cursive. The font shimmered, almost glittering as her son shifted on the bed. Every stroke of every letter seems purposeful, carefully branding her son. Out from behind the name is the image of a sun. A lyre is also depicted, and if Sally pays close enough attention, the strings seem to move slightly, as though someone is playing it.

Summary
You’re alone here. Get it through your head. You’re as alone as you’ve ever been, so you gotta quit cozying up to anybody who dangles a toy in front of you and calls you a good little kitty, cuz all it means is they want something you’ve got. Or they’re gonna slide a hook through your stomach, bait in what they’re really after with your struggles and your screams.
How’s that sound, huh? Sound nice? Sound like a good way to die?
No? Then stop. Fucking. Around.
A reimagining of Tokyo Debunker focusing on Sinostra in general and Taiga in particular. Story is told via phone recordings made by the Sinostra characters and a more morose, more angsty, more meddlesome version of the MC. They begin as OC-MC's personal diary, but as she becomes embedded in Sinostra's goings-on, these recordings get a lot more... complicated.

Summary
The bar seemed to silence around them, only the distant clinking of glasses, like someone had wrapped them into a small bubble in their own world. “No, just rarely see you without them on.” It wasn’t even a compliment, barely a confession and yet the taller felt his cheeks reddening before shyly looking away. Idolising Mecha-Man and then happening to start working under him was some twisted dream and nightmare in one.

Summary
Two young actors, Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester, are cast as brothers in a American TV drama. What begins as a purely professional partnership quickly becomes far more complicated.
Castiel, deeply serious and perfection driven, treats the project like the most important work of his career. He prepares obsessively, arrives early, and carries the weight of the entire role on his shoulders.
Dean Winchester, charming and chaotic, strolls into the first production meeting late, breathless, smiling, and utterly careless. Castiel dislikes him instantly. Dean seems immature, unserious, and far too comfortable for someone sharing such an important role.
But once filming begins, every scene between them sparks something sharp… dangerous… magnetic.
The line between “acting as brothers” and “feeling something more” slowly blurs.
Castiel’s resentment turns into fascination.
Dean’s playful confidence becomes possessive intensity.
Media pressure, emotional confusion, and the raw feelings between them drag both men into a spiral of obsession, jealousy, desire, and madness.
In a world where everything is scripted,
their real emotions become the one thing they can’t control or escape.
