Summary
"𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩, 𝙣𝙤 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙬"
It can be challenging to get used to the behaviour of the people in this era but it's important to remember that they are just trying to survive in their own unique way.
You never know what they're going through, and a little kindness goes a long way. Time travelling can be quite an experience. Therefore, keep an open mind and embrace the possibility of learning something new. With the right attitude and determination, one can navigate through these challenges and make the most out of this time travelling adventure.
But he doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. He may be an arcanist, or perhaps something else entirely. However, the disregard for the seriousness of time travel can have devastating consequences. Every decision he made is like the butterfly's effect where a single flap can cause the Storm on the other side of the world. So beware, for he may be your saving grace... or the undoing of this universe as you know it.

Summary
Tea, tarts, and bandages are the only constants in the grand, decaying Castle. The Fount of Knowledge maintains a veneer of perfect competence; Truthless Recluse, a silence of pure cynicism. Theirs is a fragile intimacy forged between two damaged souls, unknowingly trapped in the echo of a traumatic past.
But this is not a story about healing. It is a relentless waltz of memory and madness that will shatter all they have become. When the walls finally come down, one must face the horrific truth: the identity they cling to is the very one they were meant to destroy.
Witness the intimate horror of a shared nightmare—and the terrifying rebirth that can only follow the death of the ego.
Or
Join me as I drag Truthless Recluse and the Fount of Knowledge on a very twisted psychological field trip.

Reminiscences of the Cosmic Asphodels by Niwashi_Starking_Leo8

Tags
Summary
Between the boundaries of space and time, after the calamity that struck the Boiling Isles at the hands of a homicidal conqueror, four years of prosperity emerged marked by a period of peace and apparent harmony. Yet beneath that calm which seemed to settle over the demonic world, something remained absent.
The prolonged disappearance of the Collector has sown unease and quiet consternation among its inhabitants, though few dare to name what they do not understand. Fewer still suspect that the arrival of a tormented individual will fracture that fragile balance, dragging buried truths to the surface and forcing the world to confront what the shadows have always left behind.

Summary
Shane owns the walls, the bed, and the muffled air Ilya breathes when they’re together in Montreal. It’s meant to be a sanctuary, but after six years, the anonymity just feels like a different kind of erasure.
In Russia, Ilya's father is forgetting his name. In Boston, he’s a product with an expiration date. And in the bag slung over his shoulder, the folder carries a weight that means the end of the line. Ilya has spent his whole life trying to outskate the silence he first found under a green blanket when he was twelve, but now the oxygen is finally running out.
Shane thinks he’s protecting them. Ilya knows he’s just being tucked away.

A quick note: I’m not local to North America, and I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know much about hockey. If you spot any errors, please let me know!I’d love to hear your thoughts. Comments and kudos mean the world to me—they’re the fuel that keeps this story moving forward.

Summary
Arcane Season 3 if the writers lived and breathed Jayvik. Inspiration from Fortiche’s “Welcome to Noxus” cinematic.
“But I couldn’t tell Jayce that kissing the back of my hand, so cautiously, so gently, made me feel like I was eating. Or I was hungry. And I hadn’t eaten like a person, a human, in months, a year. And I didn’t want to test how much restraint I expected I didn’t have. It was easier, instead, to give Jayce the right answer. The answer that made me believe I was being good."
Viktor kills another version of Jayce to save his partner, while untangling the fractured pieces of his identity. There will be another evolution.
Mel Medarda is the wolf in Noxus, locked in a deadly game versus the witch, Leblanc. She'll need Jayce, and surprisingly, Viktor's help to win.
Jayce Talis just wants his partner back.

Summary
While trying to S rank the Mephiles fight, Shadow inadvertently gives the guy one too many chances to simply not play the same game by the same rules anymore.
Free to restore himself to the timeline, the dark half of Solaris finds…the world well and truly has forgotten he ever existed and doesn't care, his continued existence is ever-unstable without the help of a human scientist, Soleanna is a tourist trap, Shadow is never going to bother to learn his name, Silver is a little too easy to manipulate still, rent’s not free, the Iblis-sized whole inside- well, next to- his soul is forever hollow, and while it's easy to convince a blank slate of a world you're the hero, the list of cons to maintaining that hustle is actually really annoying.
Oh, and he's not even the biggest fish (godlike being) in this pond (Earth and space and time and the whole of existence, are you kidding him) anymore.

“We have to make a plan, contact some professionals, something,” he argues, and it sounds as pleading and desperate as he feels. He's out of his depth here, and Fabio has experience. Pecco wants to ride on a circuit other than Silverstone. He wants to visit the ranch again; he wants to live a normal life.
“Just get up, you'll miss the race preparations,” Pecco sighs and tugs on the Frenchman's warm arm.
Fabio snorts, “Why should I care? We'll loop anyway, man. You can stop showing up at the races if you want,” he says, a sardonic smile on his lips.
Pecco feels anger curl in his chest.
or,
Pecco and Fabio are stuck in a time loop. The way back home is...costly.

Summary
Magnus was just a small boy trying to understand where his life went wrong. He remembers very little from before he touched the compass—only fragments, like a dream slipping away when you wake. He doesn’t know why it led him to a strange train glowing softly with lantern light, or why stepping aboard felt like crossing into another world.
Now his head aches and his thoughts drift and scatter as he travels through shifting landscapes, guided by friends he doesn’t fully understand yet. Together, they weave through wandering spirits and forgotten souls, learning the rules of this quiet, uncanny place. Somewhere between the clatter of the rails and the hush of the night, Magnus begins to piece together what was lost… and what he might still be able to save.

Summary
"Oh?" Dabi taunts in that flashfire voice of his; and Hawks is reminded, yet again, how easily he burns. "Tell me, what poor little bastard's gonna be riding your ugly-ass coattails for the next few months?"
Hawks frowns, realizing he's just set up a question he actually has to answer. Dabi will find out anyway, won't he? If there's one thing Hawks has learned, it's that Dabi has his ways. Hawks can never hide anything from him, no matter how hard he tries, a fact that will someday spell his undoing –– but there's no way around it now.
Willing his fight-or-flight instinct into silence, Hawks reminds his sharpened feathers he's not here for either. It'll be fine. The worst part of removing a bandaid is the dread before you rip it off. Right?
So Hawks braces himself, and answers:
"Todoroki Shouto."
---
Hawks' doomed flight towards the sun is thrown off-course when he receives a surprise request from Endeavor's son, asking to be his work-study student. And soon, Dabi's worst nightmare takes a new form when Shouto joins Hawks' obvious-as-hell spy mission, putting them in forced proximity -- only for him to discover that his father's perfect masterpiece is nothing like he thought he was.

Summary
He’d spent long, wakeful nights agonizing over the reality that he would never have the opportunity to be close to the Warrior of Light again. Not in any meaningful way, anyway. He’d lost that chance when he’d sealed himself away in the tower, ego eclipsing what he now knows was panic as he fell for a woman on a trajectory to greatness he had no hope of achieving.

Her mouth curved into a faint, wry smile. “It’s easier to throw yourself at a divine plan than it is to sit on a rooftop and admit you don’t know who you are without it.”
“At the risk of sounding unbearably sentimental,” Gale replied, “I find I take some comfort in the fact that we’re stumbling at roughly the same pace.” His hand came up, resting lightly over hers on his shoulder. “If we must relearn how to belong to ourselves, we needn’t do it entirely alone.”
