    Summary

    On a chess night in a bustling pub, the reader finally approached Hohenheim, the golden-eyed stranger whose presence had long stirred a quiet, aching fascination.

    Their game unfolded into an intimate duel of minds and glances, every move steeped in tension as fingers brushed and breaths lingered too close.

    The match became less about victory and more about the pull between them, a slow burn of desire beneath polite smiles. When the reader won and wished for a date, Hohenheim surrendered his king with a radiant smile, sealing the promise of something dangerously intimate just beginning.

    Summary

    You’ve timed it, once. Out of idle curiosity. How long it takes Superman to cross the city versus how long Clark Kent takes to come back from lunch.

    The numbers line up beautifully.

    You don’t say anything. Why would you?

    You did scoff, though, when you read Clark Kent’s interview with Superman. An exclusive. You rolled your eyes at the byline. There was lazy, and then there was lazy.

     

    Or
    Superman somehow becomes your friend in between chess games, instant coffee, and Mario Kart.

     

    Or
    You know a secret about Superman. That's ok, he knows a secret about you too.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger knew exactly what she wanted when she joined Acheron. A fellowship in cutting-edge neuroadaptive systems, a Tier IV clearance badge, and the undivided attention of the woman who built it all.

    Bellatrix Black is brilliant, married, and twenty years her senior. She should know better.

    But some games are rigged from the start.

    Summary

    Zero-sum game is a mathematical representation in game theory and economic theory of a situation that involves two competing entities,
    where the result is an advantage for one side and an equivalent loss for the other.

    In other words, player one's gain is equivalent to player two's loss, with the result that the net improvement in benefit of the game is zero

    Summary

    “It was survival of the fittest. In the lower levels of the mountain, it was kill or be killed. You used whatever you had.”

    Azriel moves his rook, taking the knight. “You weren’t in the lower levels.”

    “No,” Eris admits. His gaze traces the board, not meeting Azriel’s. “But plenty of young males were. Desperation doesn’t discriminate. You sell what you can.” A pause. “Even yourself.”

    ~~~~~~

    Or: Azriel is assigned to help Eris in his bid to be High Lord. He learns more about the Library and how the war affected more people then he thought.

    Summary

    Loyalty only gets you so far. Bend a knee too many times to far too many, and soon, you may find yourself unable to stand back up, lifting your head to the chaos of war-- of your men scattered, your friends disemboweled. Laid apart like the shattering of glass.

    In a world steeped in misery and suffering, in strife and futility, there's only one Tarnished left who can still see Grace. It's fickle, it's artificial, and it's bearer is one of strange, unnatural origin. He should not be here, his existence is but a mockery to Marika's Golden... And yet, she chose him amongst thousands. Unexplained, Tiamat forges onward, seeking a prize more precious than a meager ring.

    Summary

    Some who receive Soulmarks are already friends.

    Others are rivals, or lovers, or acquaintances.

    Justine and Cecil would be total strangers except for one shared, searing moment that defined everything they could ever be to one another.

    Unless, perhaps, it didn't.

    Summary

    So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
    It softens his temper a little, binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.

    So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest in the battle of Lammoth, and receives weregild.
    Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he will co-operate. Yet, though a good man, he is no less proud and ambitious.

    Can they find a healthy way to co-exist? Perhaps not. They are a little too awful to one another. Still, they will try.

    Meanwhile, Elu Thingol's concerns are not unjustified, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien labours to make her own future possible. Can a somewhat better united Beleriand stand against Morgoth?

    --
    [Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.]

    Summary

    Harper Vale never meant to step into another world.

    A Cambridge scholar specialising in advanced mathematics and cognitive systems, she treats emotion like an error in the equation and people as predictable patterns. But when a series of impossible events draws her into the Devildom, Harper finds herself unexpectedly recruited to conduct a behavioural study of demons.

    Tasked with analysing the seven avatars and documenting how their emotional attributes shape their cognition, Harper approaches each field study with precision… until one demon refuses to remain an objective subject.

    What begins as analysis spirals into something far more volatile: a collision of logic and instinct, strategy and emotion, and the slow, unsettling realisation that some equations rewrite themselves.
