A place for you and me (and our dragons) by ofhouseusher

Summary
Visenya Targaryen, a fierce dragonrider bonded to the second-largest dragon alive, understands the thrill of a successful battle and the line between life and death. Someone who would fight by Rhaenys' side without her ever asking. They were mortals linked together by fire. The same sin binds them. They were entwined in red rings of Valyrian blood and loneliness. It was, in a way, mutual haunting.
This was someone who met Rhaenys Targaryen at her level.

Summary
It’s hard to be vulnerable, because being vulnerable means letting down your shield, letting people in, letting them see the real you. All your cracks and imperfections. You're more susceptible to judgement, and no one likes to be judged. Gavin knew all too well how that game went. Every time he let someone be part of his world, they wrung him dry for their own gain, spat him out when they grew bored of him. Bullies are bullies because they project their insecurities onto those that they deem as weaker than themselves. It makes them feel less scared.
See, Gavin hadn't always been a massive dick. Growing up, him and Tina were attached at the hip. Never apart, shared and did everything together. And, literally everything; it was almost like Gavin lived at her house. Everyone liked him, he was popular in school. But that all changed the second he became bitter and drove everyone away. Shut out his friends, his parents, his coworkers. He didn't even try to get along with people anymore because it didn't seem worth it.
That's why he doesn't understand why the fuck Nines is trying so hard to get close. After everything he'd done, the shit Gavin said, why did Nines still want to be part of his life? It was frustrating.

Summary
After he put an end to the Shi Clan's rebellion, Jinshi's days are long and busy and dull, if not for the small visits he can pay to the apothecary shop at the Verdigris House, where Maomao entertains his presence and his questions with her usual flair.
Maybe, maybe it's just exhaustion, but right there, the simple explanation to a sudden, cryptic death of an officer, and the small object that was left behind, speaks volumes to Jinshi, while for Maomao, of course, it is just science—but is it really?
In the future, maybe, as the days get much darker, that too will take a turn, for him and for her.
(Set not too long after the epilogue to LN4 / end of season 2.)

Summary
After one incredible night together, V assumes Meredith Stout is just another corpo passing in and out of her life. But weeks later, a single message pulls the young mercenary back into Stout’s orbit. A connection reignites with startling intensity, and the two women find themselves irresistibly drawn to one another.
Meredith introduces V to a world of rooftop parties, private VIP rooms, and whispered decadence. It’s intoxicating, addictive, and almost loving. When Valerie finally confesses the Relic is killing her, Meredith promises Militech’s assistance. But desire turns to obsession, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to glean a piece of Arasaka’s most sophisticated tech is something Stout can’t ignore. Unwittingly, Valerie becomes a prize she can't let go of.
Alone at a club one night, Valerie meets Judy Alvarez - a warm, welcome light in the growing darkness. She feels V’s fear, her loneliness, her vulnerabilities. Slowly, their bond blooms into something more than friendship, something that threatens everything Meredith Stout believes she owns.
Caught between affection and obsession, loyalty and her own survival, V learns that in Night City, love can be the most deadly weapon of all.

Summary
Sym hums. "No," he says, "I am still learning about many things. But for someone who lives as we Gardeners do, the idea of an individual being irretrievably gone is not one that comes naturally to us. I still don't fully understand…I think I won't until someone close to me dies. I will, perhaps, be the first of my kind to experience that grief."

Vergiss mich nicht: Wiederkehr ist eine moderne Reinkarnations-Fortsetzung zu Rurouni Kenshin, die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart miteinander verschränkt.

Nicht als Feinde, sondern als zwei Menschen, die zu viel Blut gesehen und zu viel verloren haben.
Was unausgesprochen bleibt, überdauert jedoch Zeit und Tod.In der Gegenwart werden beide neu geboren und begegnen sich erneut, diesmal als junge Erwachsene im Alter zwischen etwa 25 und 30 Jahren.
Saitō lebt nun als Polizist in Tokio, geprägt von rationaler Strenge und unerklärlichen Träumen aus einem früheren Leben.
Kenshin hingegen wird als Frau wiedergeboren, ohne bewusste Erinnerung an ihr früheres Dasein, doch ihr Körper, ihre Reflexe und ihre Seele tragen den alten Weg noch immer in sich.Die Erzählung bewegt sich zwischen:
-unausgesprochenem Wiedererkennen
-Schuld und Erlösung
-Körpergedächtnis und Seelenerinnerung
-der Frage, ob Liebe und Bindung stärker sein können als Zeit, Geschlecht und Identität -

Summary
Astro has been plagued with visions of doom for the past week. Something is coming, and he'll be too late once he figures out what it is. As Gardenview withers with age, an elevator to the Twisted-infested floors collapses, allowing the Twisteds to crawl out. Some toons make it to Dyle's train in time, others are left behind, and others die protecting those they love.
One of those toons, or more accurately, two: Finn and Shrimpo. Once they realise they've been left behind, the aquatic toons escape the hold of death through the Gardenview sewers and end up stranded in a forest. Cold and hungry, they start their journey to reunite with their fellow toons.
The toons that escaped on the train are now left homeless. The warmth and food of Dyle's train are temporary; They can't stay there forever, so they are forced to run from humanity. But there are too many mouths to feed. Some toons starve, some grow ill, some are abandoned.
Will Finn and Shrimpo find their friends, or die trying? How many refugee toons will survive before nature kills them one by one? Will humans find them, and will those humans help? Or will they take the toons away?
Will the survivors ever be the same again?
