Summary
She was born before the fall of her people. When her father had still been king and her mother alive. She was not a destined saviour of the new world for she had come when the old world was still enough. But she had survived. He, guardian of the palace, had made sure she would. To watch over her brother, incarnation of their father, to protect his will, perhaps, but most of all to fulfill a promise to himself, to his fallen friends. “Their daughter would live.” So, you could say her destiny was to live, and live she did.
He was born into this world a miracle. He was not a saviour from another world— he was a saviour from this one. His father an outcast, his mother ill and he, an orphan. He had dragged himself through dirt and mud, limb by limb, to rise above and bring the world with him. He had purpose and a dream, and to the lost girl who knew of nothing, not even herself, he was life itself. And so, her destiny became him.

let the shadows fall behind you by Sweetbriar15

Summary
"You don't understand what you're asking. My world doesn't work the way yours does." Nevertheless, Mal tells her mother no...and suffers the consequences, alongside the captured royalty of Auradon, as the villains rampage and her trusted best friends remain unfettered, feigning loyalty to their parents.
Divided, the Isle-born rotten quartet must rely on old allies to survive, as well as their tenuous relationships with their Auradon-born peers. They don't have much time to uncover their strengths and make their choices, but...
("Our parents made their choice. Now you make yours.")
They have nothing to lose.
::
AU canon divergence from the first film—because segregating evil villains from the rest of society does not logically look like a half-humorous cohort of “has-beens”.

Summary
“Here’s what I think,” Nathaniel's voice is hushed. He activates his ability, lets his blood take the shape of a sword and presses it against the jester's neck, “I think your ignorance is a mask for your fear.”
Without breaking eye contact Nikolai leans in impossibly close, so close that the sword against his neck is now digging into his skin.
“And I think,” Nathaniel can feel the heat of his breath on his lips, “your faith is a mask for your desire.”

on blood and bones and desire.

Good Omens Meta of Metas by KayleeFan
Fandom: Abrahamic Religions, Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
10 Nov 2024
Summary
Each Tumblr post should be attributed to the associated Tumblr accounts, in accordance with what the Tumblr links show.
This series is a backup / reformatting of the Good Omens Crackpotting Theory Tracker Google Document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i-hHTbAT5C2XwvNv_EGohMsBtuOrhypS81HFd0srWW8/edit
The backup is "complete" as of 18 November 2023, however the tracking of metas is continuing. Incorporation / updates will come first to the Google Doc, and then the updates posted in the relevant chapter here.
This is not my individual work. It points to over 100 fans contributions to understanding the layered meanings in the book and show.
I'm happy to add contributors as co-creators, add links to your AO3 work, or other recognition as you wish. I'm not entirely sure where to find Tumblrs on AO3, but will be working to add those links where they are clear.

Summary
“I just realised,” Sam says, and she thinks he might be lying. “I guess I was too busy to give it much thought at the time, but do you know who wasn’t in Dean’s heaven? Dad.”
“That can’t be true,” Mary crosses her arms. “Dean and John were always…”
“I know, it’s weird isn’t it?” Sam says. He’s toying with his bottle, rolling it from hand to hand. She notices it but she doesn’t know what it means, not the way John probably did. Not the way Dean would. “And they spent so much time together too, you’d think some of it must’ve been happy. But I guess that’s Dean and dad in a nutshell: normal enough on the surface, but scratch that away and all you find are secrets.”Ressurected (again) in a clumsy attempt at divine redemption (again) and stuck in the happily ever after part of the story, Mary does her best to cope with the motherhood she can never quite remember wanting. But Dean won’t stop screaming in his sleep, and Jack won’t stop trying to fix him and there’s a storm in the distance that won’t stop brewing.
It'll probably all be fine. -

Summary
Do you understand? the very fabric of existence asks, and Cal, clinging to the line between life and death, thinks no—
For a brief moment, an infinite moment, a moment everywhere in between, he encompasses the universe, and the universe encompasses him. Around, around, around he goes, and there is a terrible emptiness in the space where he and the cosmos exist.

Summary
The SQUIP's voice has always been in Jeremy's head after the events of the play. Slowly, steadily, it was getting louder and stronger. Jeremy knows that, for the sake of human civilization, he has to resort to drastic measures--specifically, a little red-dyed bottle of drastic measures that costs a hundred dollars if you know the right guy at Spencer's.
Much like everything else in Jeremy's life, his plan does not go as intended.
(Alternatively: Everyone's Extremely Confused why Jeremy is suddenly wifi compatible and also sort of a douche.)

Summary
Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, has long been trapped in the balance between light and dark. But what if he was never meant to choose a side? The Citadel of Time becomes the stage for Anakin’s true nature to emerge as he confronts the Jedi, the Sith, and even his own father. Unleashing the full extent of his power, Anakin reveals that he is neither Jedi nor Sith but something greater—a Grey Jedi with his own agenda, meant to balance the scales of the Force in his own way. As the galaxy trembles, those who underestimated him now face the truth: he is a force to be reckoned with.

“Don’t spend it on anything stupid, Dean. This is for you two to eat,” Dad says. He doesn’t have to say that there isn’t any more money, that he’d better figure out how to stretch it if he needs to—Dean already knows that better than he knows anything.
Or, Dean and sex work.

Ownership Enough by natalunasans

03 Jul 2019
Summary
The Doctor and the Master, in the TARDIS, as it should be. Next stop everywhere.
The events of EoT had physical and neurological effects on the Master. He still has the same personality, but some of his priorities have necessarily changed. Surviving is still high on the list, though... and mentally sparring with the Doctor.a conversation that would never happen now (not in so many words)... wonder if they remember it?
"but if i’m capable of feeling love for another person,…”
“then you are capable of changing what you are! you can break free from your servitude! you can have free will! you can have hope!"
