The Lunatic's Death-Dream by McAddict_ (Claire_Ash)
Fandoms: 第五人格 | Identity V (Video Game)
29 Nov 2025

Summary
"She was the ghost in his pills, and he died to keep her alive."
Depression, anxiety, regret, pain... all of it weighed down on Alva’s life, driving him to the rooftop, ready to end it all.
He never told anyone about his plan, after all, there was no one he could have told.
When he was about to take that final step, an unexpected figure appeared: a girl in a white dress with black hair-- Ann. Not wanting his death to scar her, he tried to persuade her to leave. But instead, it was that very girl who pushed him over the edge.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a hospital room, his limbs restrained.
In that confined space, he and Ann,gradually opened up to each other: sharing past pains, dreaming of futures, learning to forgive, learning to heal.
Piece by piece, everything seemed to move toward the light. Alva’s mind grew steadier, his emotions steadier, his capacity for love slowly returning.
But the better things became, the clearer his awareness grew, and with clarity, the small world built out of fantasy began to unravel.
In the end, it was nothing more than a dream.
And he had to accept his death, just as he had wanted from the very beginning. -

Summary
Robert's childhood is non-standard in all of the wrong ways. There's expectations placed on him that no other kid his age has to struggle with. He finds solace with the only other "member" of the Brave Brigade who feels like an outsider.
Or, Elliot Conners is more of a father to Robert than Robbie ever could be. These things leave their mark.

Summary
“Well, regardless of who you are, you’ve been yourself the entire time. Haven’t you?”
Quixotic, adj: exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical.
A puppet boy who was born to die instead comes alive thanks to people he didn’t know he lost and love he didn’t know he felt. Love is for humans, after all, and he is not one.
But Romeo was, once, and it’s only fair that he gets to be again. Or at least, that he gets to be as close as he can. This realization drives P to push through his grief, his trauma, and rekindle the dimming candlelight he loved before he ever even knew its name.

Summary
Narvi approached the table of gossiping elves, a look on defeat painted on his face. "I swear to Mahal, the tension was thick enough to smelt ore in. There was literally no space between them and then... nothing. They just... stood there like decorative statues. It's a travesty."
"It’s worse than a travesty," Laelwen groaned, crossing her arms, slumping in her chair, careless of the fact that she didn't exactly look very elf-like at the moment. "It’s an insult to all of us who’ve been forced to watch this slow-burn courtship for years."
Glamdir set his cup down firmly, a little bit of wine spilling on the table. "Right, that's it. I’m organizing a betting pool. How long until one of them finally confesses?"

Or: Ost-In-Edhil is a place of artists, scientists, creators, visionaries. It's a place where everything feels possible. It's also a place full of people who like drama, gossip, and unorthodox forms of entertainment. What happens when some of them form a gossiping club who regularly sets the most absurd wagers on the developing feelings between Annatar and Celebrimbor? And how will this group of unhinged people affect their relationship? -

Summary
Part 2 can be read as it's stand alone part.
Further clarification of the situation will be found in part 1 when needed .Where memory stops being a sanctuary and becomes the battlefield itself. As a shapeless entity crawls through Diluc’s mind, it learns to wear the faces he fears losing, reconstructing people and moments with chilling precision—yet always wrong.
What begins as mimicry twists into evolution, forcing Diluc into a world that resets, rewinds, and rewrites itself with every breath he takes. Each scene fractures the line between real and replica, until even the monster hungers to know which one of them is truly alive.Series

Summary
Things just lined up. Tyler's guild was shut down for safety violations, and they were without work. Katie called one too many times with an offer: a job, monsters to slay, and a place to park their trailer. The only trouble was Tyler would have to move to that farm that housed nothing but sour memories. When Tyler makes an unlikely ally, they must learn that softness is not weakness, and that love is not earned, but made.
Updates every Thursday.

Summary
“You are weak and they know it,” the Spider hissed, extending one of its hind legs up to point at the still-twitching cocoon, the appendage as long as you were tall.
“Though I can fix that…” it said as it smiled, twig-thin lips twisting up unendingly, putrid green saliva leaking out from its mouth._
You hated them. You wished with every fiber of your being that they would go away. That they'd just leave you and your poor mom alone.
Unfortunately, asking things of the world is a right reserved solely for the strong. -

Summary
It’s January 1985 and over 1,000 people in the US have died at the hands of a supposedly loving creator, many of whom were in Aziraphale’s corner of the gay community in Greenwich Village. He can't help but wonder why God has decided to kill so many humans. God is meant to love humanity—She’s certainly saved them enough. Aziraphale has found humanity to be quite charming over the millennia, and he’d hate for them to die out before their time.

Summary
"I glanced over, and saw that Martyn was drinking something from a large mug. “I’d like it if you were crew,” he said once the mug was half-empty. “It’s been nice, getting to know you.”
I looked away, and tried to wrestle my organics back into order from where they’d gone all weird and hot and wibbly and melty."
SecUnit deals with the horrors of being in a supportive environment, and makes a choice.

Summary
Noelle exits the hospital after a long day in Cyber World, eager to forget (almost) everything. Unfortunately for her, a trip to the local shady cursed item salesman causes her to have a terrible, no good, very bad night as she attempts to solve the mystery of the cursed video game she intentionally buys.
Semi-satirical work based on old internet creepypastas, but don't let that fool you. There is a lot of drama here, and it's not primarily horror, though there are less explicit horror elements. It's TV World, so expect it to be long. The hurt/comfort only comes into play in the fourth part and the suselle is fairly light with mostly just Noelle pining until part 4.

Summary
Naoko Katsuragi didn't start out vile. She was a traitor to her classmates, but she didn't start out a viper. She was a good girl that followed orders. Sweet naïvety, cunning trickery all at once. But that wasn't her. Somewhere along the bleary lines of her own identity, she became lost in an unattainable dream that was his.
She'd reach for her mother's hand instead, exempt from his honing grasp (if she could actually reach that high into the clouds, that is). Katsuragi never stopped running from her mistakes, not until another hand curled around hers - held gently taut, fingertips brazen with callouses.
With an unflinching smile, he'd always tell her, "I'll help you," as if he could see past it all. Forgiving, not like Tenko. Tenko didn't like it when she'd mess up.
In response, she'd nod quietly. But honestly, she'd take the life of crime, all to make her dream her own again.
