    Summary

    There were prophecies you could simply read, and prophecies you had to earn.
    The one carved into the rock beneath Hogwarts' foundations, in a chamber none of the four Founders had ever dared name in their writings, belonged to the second kind. You didn't find it by looking. You found it when blood — the right kind, the wrong kind, the kind the wizarding world had spent centuries sorting into categories — chose to mix against every prediction ever made about it.
    No one saw it for seven hundred years.

    Then came an autumn when a Malfoy and a Granger collided in a corridor, and somewhere in the dark beneath the castle, the stone began — imperceptibly — to warm.

    Summary

    Growing up, I was taught who I was supposed to be, but the reflection in the mirror never agreed with the world's expectations.

    In the Shadow of Everest is a work of autofiction that traces the long, winding road toward self-discovery. From the suffocating weight of trauma to the relentless fight for identity, this is a raw look at navigating life as a trans man in a world that often refuses to see you. It is a story of survival, of moving through the debris of the past, and of finding the courage to finally step out of the shadows and claim a truth that is entirely my own.

    Summary

    Fire and flames; the world ended in fire and flames. But the world had already ended before then for Rina Lawler, so it was nothing new. Remembering a past long buried, Rina navigates the ruins of both the Wastes and her life.

    Joining the Brotherhood was supposed to be temporary. Instead, it becomes a quiet unraveling. Danse, a reserved man held together by duty and devotion, was never meant to feel like home. Somewhere between violence, grief, and slowly rebuilding humanity itself, the two of them begin to discover something dangerously unfamiliar: safety.
    _____________________

    OR: The apocalypse would be significantly easier if either of them knew how to communicate normally. Also Danse hates Rina's plans.

    Summary

    The Mojave does not leave room for softness, and yet it finds its way in anyway.

    A sniper shaped by loss and discipline and a courier shaped by violence and myth are drawn together in the quiet spaces between survival and consequence, where something unsteady and unspoken begins to take root.

    But as war gathers at Hoover Dam and the weight of the past presses in from every direction, they are forced to confront a simple, impossible question:

    What parts of themselves are they willing to lose in order to hold onto each other?

    Summary

    What Link would really like is just to be held for a while. To feel her head resting on his shoulder, her cheek against his. To feel her hair tickling his nose, her fingers lacing through his. To see her smile, really smile. Maybe even laugh. Link thinks he must have heard Zelda laugh, at least once. He can almost remember it—her eyes crinkling up, her head tilting back ever so slightly… the air between them wasn’t always heavy with the burden of duty, he’s sure of it.

    (A retelling of Breath of the Wild and its immediate aftermath. Not TotK compliant.)

    Summary

    The Bradshaws have a long and sordid history with the Horizon festival. Not that Bradley dwells on it now, he’s happier than he has ever been, finally reaching his goal of heading up the cross-country outpost like his father has been amazing. Chasing dreams, he regales to anyone who will listen, chasing ghosts, his dreams whisper back. This year, he finally gets to reconnect with some old faces. His earliest memories were at west coast and south american festivals, in the passenger seat of his dad’s bronco or behind the announcers' table with his mom. It had shaped him into the man he was. Learning to race, becoming one with his car, it's as close to freedom as you could get. Although the days were long and the planning arduous, the time he got racing was worth every ounce of work he put in, and damn if he would let anything dampen his mood.

    ---

    This is heavily inspired by the video game Forza Horizon 5 but the storyline is entirely my own! All locations are based on the in-game map not a real life map of Mexico thus the scale is a little unrealistic so racing across the country is not as big of a task as it actually is.

    Summary

    Purple knew they weren't like other crewmates and imposters, you simply couldn't put them into one box or the other. So, rather than dwelling on the fact that someone might figure out they may not be who they say they are, Purple focuses on making sure the crew doesn't die beyond what happened to White.

    But what happens when Purple breaks the mold and gets to feel what it feels to be accepted for once..?

    OR

    I wanted to write a longer Alternate Rodamrix x Among Us Show crossover fic where Purps gets to save the crew and they learn more about imposters thanks to Purps :3

    (Purple from Roda and Purple from the show are twins, while Blue from Roda and Blue from the show are siblings)

    Summary

    "Do you want to meet him?"

    For a moment, Jisung forgot how to breathe. The sounds of the café faded into the background. The rain against the windows. The quiet conversations around them. The clinking of cups and plates. Everything disappeared beneath the deafening rush of his own heartbeat.

    Two years.
    Two years of forcing himself to let go.
    Two years of convincing himself that this was the closest he would ever get to Minho again.

    And now Hyunjin was sitting across from him asking a question that should never have existed.

    Do you want to meet him?

    The answer rose immediately. Instantly. Painfully. But Jisung couldn't force it past the tightness in his throat.
    Because wanting to see Minho had never been the problem.
    The problem was what came after.

    or, for the first time in two years since everything fell apart, Jisung was confronted with the unbearable possibility of seeing Minho again.

    Summary

    They met at fourteen.

    Before the war. Before the loss. Before love meant anything.

    She wasn't supposed to matter.
    She was just supposed to pass through.

    Just a new girl finding her place at Hogwarts, until she found herself tangled in the lives of the Weasley twins, where laughter came easy, chaos came easier, and everything felt like home.

    What started as friendship-easy, effortless, and a little reckless-slowly became something harder to ignore.

    Because some people don't just change your life.
    They become it.

    But life has a way of changing everything when you least expect it.

    This is the story of every version of them.

    The laughing one.
    The broken one.
    And the one learning how to love again.

    A slowburn friends-to-lovers George Weasley/Original Female Character story spanning from Hogwarts to post-war healing.

    Fireworks fade. Love doesn't.

    Summary

    After nearly two years of war between Zeus and Poseidon, Percy Jackson is living alone beneath a sky that seems determined to kill him.

    On Olympus, the gods decide peace can be secured only by joining the warring houses through marriage. Neither Percy nor Artemis is asked. Neither is willing.

    Percy arrives carrying wounds the gods have failed to see and a choice he has postponed for as long as he can. Artemis has spent millennia defending the right to remain unclaimed. Now both are expected to bear the cost of a war they did not begin.

    The covenant may save the world. It may also destroy what remains of them.

    Arc One follows the immediate aftermath of that decision: the council, the terms, the cost, the first attempts at survival, and the question of whether either of them can keep any part of themselves inside a peace built without their consent.

    Summary

    After the war, there are no more battles left to fight — only Naruto and Sasuke, and the years of hurt still sitting between them.

    Nowhere left to run. Nowhere to be except right here, learning how to exist in the same space again.

    Missing arms, shared silences, and a slow, aching realization that maybe “friends” was never going to be enough.

    *

    “No matter what,” Naruto says, angling his head so Sasuke can really see him. So he can really understand. “I’d do it again.”

    Sasuke stops moving.

    Naruto looks at him fully. “All of it.”

    And Naruto says it like it is not a debt. Like Sasuke does not have to pay him back by staying.
