Summary
After spending time on Erid with Rocky his spaceship is now ready to be travelled again, Rocky wishes to come with and see Earth as return for showing Erid to Ryland. Hesitantly, Grace agrees and on their way to Earth they unknowingly fall into a wormhole taking them back into the past when Venus was inhabitable yet also on the brink of extinction almost identical to climate change on Earth.
Will Rocky and Ryland stay in the past with Y/N or leave her in the past to go extinct? Or maybe take her to the future?Preview:
"Okay class, who can tell me about Venus?" High pitched squeals are the answer to my question, little shrieking comes in many different directions all around the room in which I can oddly translate to answers such as "Planet of love", "inhabitable!" or even a confused "What's Venus?" "Well some of you have half of it right, luckily this lesson will be on Venus" I slid my glasses back up my nose. -

Summary
Two inhabitants of Tamriel's frost-laden northern province, during times of violence and strife in the region, find themselves in less than ideal circumstances. Both struggle to earn a living, honest or not, in Skyrim's capital city of Solitude, but greater threats than destitution lie beneath the city's stone-hewn foundations.
Follow Deeja, an Argonian leader of the Blackblood Marauders, and Hrolf Ice-Jaw, a Nord drifter in search of his purpose, as they find themselves—and perhaps something more—while reaching new heights and rising to the occasion when disaster threatens to strike.

Summary
Polar opposites, they say. Jiahao, the top student with the perfect grades and the polished image. And then there's Geonwoo, the rule-breaker known for causing trouble left and right.
At least, that’s what everyone thinks.
The truth? Jiahao is a menace.
"You’re such a fucking liar," Geonwoo muttered, finally snatching the lighter back. "Tutoring? Really?"
Jiahao’s grin widened. "What, you don’t think I could tutor you?"
He sat up, close enough that Geonwoo could smell the faint citrus of his cologne mixed with something sharper—energy drinks and late-night adrenaline.
"I could teach you plenty of things.”

Summary
There was a first and last time for everything, but Gregory Lestrade did not know it yet. A first call, a last laugh, a first caress, without suspecting that it would be the last. Life had it's funny way of never telling you when it was going to stop. It was simply waiting at the foot of your door and waiting for you to notice it.
Gregory didn't realized it, but he was fading away slowly. Something inside of him was slipping through his fingers, a version of himself that he would no longer know.
Some scars didn't heal over time, but Gregory Lestrade didn’t know it yet.
If Mycroft Holmes pushed him to open his eyes, would he have the courtesy to open his in return?

Summary
Riku is good at drawing, always has been, after all the time he's devoted to it. Except for human anatomy, because drawing people was a pain in the ass he had no reason to deal with. But with his perfect grade point average at stake, he's willing to make sacrifices — and ask Cherry for help.
It's just a simple deal, nothing more. Cherry lets himself be drawn, and in return, Riku gives him some much-needed tutoring. The fact that they have to spend time together, just the two of them, is a necessary evil. There's definitely no way they'll make it weird. It's no big deal to spend hours studying another person's body, right? And having someone else's eyes on you for hours isn't a big deal either, right?------
When 1am hits you with the thought of "Wouldn't it be funny if they had this weird agreement, but the person freaking out in each situation isn't the one you'd expect?" -

Summary
She was raised within sky-reaching stone walls—among guards, soldiers, and sharp-tongued politicians—and learned the rhythms of court as easily as any dance. Aeryn Tauri was loved. By her family. By a kingdom that never intended to crown her.
Princess of Navarre, she has always sensed something beneath that devotion—an unspoken truth she couldn’t name.
So when she enters the Riders Quadrant, the deadliest path at Basgiath War College, it isn’t for glory or ambition, but for duty, for power, and for the quiet understanding that the crown must remain where it has always belonged.
She expects hardship. Blood. Survival.
What she doesn’t expect is for everything she knows to begin unraveling.
In the Riders Quadrant, lies cut deeper than blades, trust fractures easily, and power is never what it seems. Aeryn is about to learn that fate isn’t something you follow—
it’s something that can break. Or be broken.
And when it does, everything will change.
