Summary
Derry is a town that eats its children,
starting with those who don't fit in.After a devastating rejection at the Barrens, Richie and Eddie find themselves trapped in two different kinds of hell, one too loud with obsession, the other too cold with neglect. As the line between reality and the town's shadows begins to blur, they are forced to confront the distance between them. In a place where "normal" is a survival tactic, they discover the deepest horrors aren't things with teeth, it’s the poison we swallow to stay safe, the cruelties we scream when we're afraid, and the quiet, internal wars we wage just to belong.
Both boys are drowning in a town that never learned how to save its children. Now, they must decide if the fear of being "weird" is worth losing the only heart that beats in sync with their own. And while you can’t choose the blood in your veins, you can choose the hand you hold in the dark. When every home in Derry feels like a haunting, the only place left to belong is with each other.
OR
After a year of silence, Richie and Eddie navigate a 1992 summer of secret knocks, shared clothes, and the terrifying reality of falling in love in a town that doesn't want them to exist. -

Summary
Similar to Built to Break-Alternate ending, this story will be the same up to a certain point, and then switch into an alternate version. Chapter 25 is where things will begin to shift from the original.
If you have read the original, I have gone back and added some author's notes at the end of the chapters with some thoughts and insights you might enjoy, instead of rereading the whole thing... though I find that rereading it sometimes hits different when you know the ending will change.
Spoiler alert: Ilya will die.
Double spoiler alert: There will be a happy ending and a reunion, because I am not a psychopath.Series

Summary
“Grace ever make love with other humans on Earth, question?” Rocky asks one morning when they’re just finishing up a modest breakfast in the Hail Mary dormitory.
Ryland nearly spits out his mouthful of pb&j but valiantly manages to swallow. “Why are you asking me this right now, dude?” he asks, voice still thick with peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth. “No lead-in or anything, jeepers creepers.”

Summary
It's almost stupidly easy how easy it is to knock the man to the ground after so much fighting where he hid behind whatever spells he had on hand. Coward, the voice in Gillion's head supplies. It sounds like Edyn.
She's right. He is a coward.
OR Gillion finally gets a one up on Odelath. The final straw snaps.

Summary
Harry Kim, evaluating his professional future aboard a Voyager still facing decades of travel ahead, has decided it’s time to pivot away from the command track toward something new. His friends’ lives are changing, so why shouldn’t his?
Meanwhile, change is something the Doctor hasn’t been able to come by lately. If he’s not just a machine executing a program, why does he feel like he’s stuck making the same mistakes over and over?
Maybe getting Harry’s new counseling career off the ground is exactly what they both need to move forward. Except nothing on Voyager is ever that simple. Long-distance bureaucracy, competing ethical considerations, the crew’s complicated feelings about Harry’s decision, and Voyager’s newest baby all collude to make this “simple” career decision into something more complex than anyone bargained for.

Summary
This is a story about betrayal.
Ten years ago, an asteroid descended from the heavens like a shooting star. But rather than destroying the world, it parked over the town square, exerting its silent presence over the city below.
And Keralis and xB have decided they’re sick of it. Every day the asteroid’s presence suffocates all thoughts of dissent. And every day, fresh machinations pour from the corrupt doors of city hall, crushing the people under their ruthless heel.
With so many on the brink, it’s time to fight back.With a rag-tag alliance of misfits, oddballs, and Zedaph, will they have what it takes to free everyone from the chains that drag them down?
Or will the monster lurking in the shadows finally get the last laugh?

Summary
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.You'd think it was just a dumb rhyme right? Or at least a halfway decent Metallica song? Wrong! Turns out wishing on stars can actually be more than a lame excuse to go camp out with your crush. Such is the case for one lucky girl who gets what she desires the very most ...only with a few caveats~
A story about physical (and mental) regression, becoming your crush's most cherished person while enduring a cavalcade of awkward and humiliating wardrobe changes ♥
Content warning: Contains ABDL themes (including the grosser aspects~) age regression, ageplay and possibly incest! All that good stuff~ This is your only warning!

Summary
I bit back a curse.
I couldn't give them my real name; it was too jarringly human. So jarringly human, in fact, that it appeared in The History of the Underground — in the chapter on the war — borne by one of the Mages who had sealed away the monsters.
No decent, loving parent down here would inflict a name like that on their child.
"Quiet!" I panicked. It was the first word that came to mind. "C-call me Quiet."
"Pleasure to meet you, Quiet," said Doggo politely, gazing somewhere in the general direction of my face — or rather, the impenetrable darkness concealing it. He discarded a card. "Wonderful to finally see someone new… I'm afraid, however, that you've arrived at the worst possible moment."
"Meaning?"
To my left, Dogamy leaned lower over the table, while Greater Dog flattened his ears and let out a quiet whimper.
"A human has appeared in Snowdin Forest."

Summary
Powstrzymałem przekleństwo.
Nie mogłem im podać swojego prawdziwego imienia; było po prostu rażąco ludzkie. Tak rażąco, że pojawiło się nawet w Historii Podziemia, w rozdziale opisującym dzieje wojny; nosił je jeden z pieczętujących potwory Magów.
Tutaj żaden normalny, kochający rodzic nie skrzywdziłby swojego dziecka takim imieniem.
- Quiet! - Spanikowałem. To było pierwsze słowo, które przyszło mi na myśl. - M-mów mi Quiet.
- Dobrze cię poznać, Quiet - powiedział Doggo uprzejmie, spoglądając gdzieś z grubsza w stronę mojej twarzy… albo raczej nieprzeniknionej ciemności, która ją skrywała. Wyrzucił kartę. - Wspaniale zobaczyć wreszcie kogoś nowego… obawiam się jednak, że przybyłeś tu w najgorszym możliwym momencie.
- To znaczy?
Po mojej lewej Dogamy pochylił się niżej nad stołem, a Duży położył po sobie uszy i wydał z siebie ciche skomlenie.
- W Lesie Snowdin pojawił się człowiek.

Dan and Phil time travel back to 2011 and have some conversations with each other.
“Home so early, Phil?” Younger Dan asked without looking up.
“Ehh, no?” Daniel responded, confused.
Younger Dan turned to look to the door opening where Daniel stood and his eyes went wide. WHAT THE FUCK??? He startled off the couch onto the floor with a loud thud. Dan scrambled to get up.
“How’d you get in the house?? Who are you???” Dan yelled at him. His heart was pounding in his chest.
“I don’t know! I don’t understand any of this!” Daniel admitted, also startled, “But wait, wait, I didn’t break in, I swear!” -

For you, an aerospace engineering professor at the university, life consisted of elegant equations and the sterile silence of a laboratory. That was until Joel Miller arrived—shaking the building to its foundations with the roar of a construction site and a cloud of cedar dust under the scorching Austin sun.
