Summary
You think you know the Sandman? I assure you, no one knew him better than a handful of people. His parents, Night and Time; his siblings: Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium; his human friend, Hob Gadling; and a human woman who was a dreamer and, most likely, the love of his existence - Belle.
Of course, he must aid her in a time of great need before they become such a romantic duo. How must he aid her? As her beloved, affectionate, abnormally large pet cat, of course. And as the man she dreams and fantasizes about when she should be doing labs and calculus.
Isn't it against the rules for an Endless to love a mortal? Perhaps, but nothing good in life comes easy.
Follow Belle and Dream through their lives and adventures; their hopes and struggles as they traverse labyrinths between worlds and dimensions. As they brave the depths of Hell and agony. As they come face to face with gods, monsters, and demons. And as their love for each other grows stronger... endlessly.

Drowning in Bellatrix by Blackheart2584

Summary
She was about to call it a night, her curiosity satisfied in a baffled, slightly tipsy way, when she saw a tag in the sidebar of a particularly florid Bellamione epic.
Bellatrix Black/Narcissa Black
Helena’s eyebrow did its famous thing. “Hang on. Sisters?”
She clicked. It felt like stepping through a wardrobe into a much darker, much weirder Narnia.
The fic was called Our Blood is the Same Colour. No summary. Just the pairing and a string of tags that made Helena’s eyes widen: Post-Azkaban, Dubious Consent, Hurt/Comfort, Incest, Obsession, Malfoy Manor, Not Actually Unrequited.
“Well,” Helena breathed, a slow smile spreading. “This is more like it.”

Summary
“I don’t know if you’ve used my mirror, but you haven’t gotten any prettier in the past hour, Burakh,” Dankovsky says, sounding strained. “Stay and get your rest, or I’ll have to contend with having you on my conscience when they inevitably mug you on the street—”
“Your might need to lower your expectations,” Artemy interrupts. “This is how I look. And your mirror is in pieces, by the way, have you not noticed smashing it?”
Daniil smiles—it’s not a pleasant smile by far. “Stay,” he instructs, almost condescendingly. “And take your rest.”
Well, two can play this game.
Artemy parries back, “And what about you?”
[Or: one night at Stillwater; glimpsed from two different mirror-sides.]

Summary
"When you get Minecraft, don't open the world that you didn't create."
This is the first line of an email that Derek received a day after he bought a copy of the game. A stranger who calls himself Avery and claims to be from the future sent it in an attempt to stop him, but Derek knows that changing the past will cause a grandfather paradox. Sensing his good intentions, he gives Avery a chance to change his mind.
Thus begins an impossible email exchange from 2026 back to 2022, between two people whose growing connection could cause a temporal dilemma. Neither want the other to suffer a terrible end, but their survival is mutually exclusive. Is this fate, or are grander forces at play?

Summary
Ruby Liu is a hardcore FF7 fan who also freelances as a programmer. After one fateful night, she is forced to enter the world of her beloved game and finds a new world both familiar yet unfamiliar. Apparently her old fanfics have become Gaia's cancer, brought about by the wrath of an old resident Summon thought lost to time. And to top it all off, she's drawn the ire and intrigue of Sephiroth, who seeks new purpose for the realm lovingly dubbed the Debug Room and even bullies her as a de facto editor in this new story of Gaia.
But the Rulers of the Outer Realms are always watching. Order must be preserved, lest the ancient wars of cataclysm resurge.
(Rewrite of FF7 Original & Remake where game mechanics, sidequest lore, easter eggs, OG concept drafts, and even the game's code may be integrated into the plot. No major spoilers for FF7 Rebirth, only scattered references. The Ultimania Guide for this fic will come after this WIP is complete. Enjoy the cool logo art for now.)

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a pirate in possession of a hook must be in want of a reader.
For years Lyra believed her ability to slip into the pages of her favorite novels was merely a quirk of lucid dreaming — tea with her best friend Lizzy Bennet while avoiding the insufferable Darcy. But whimsy died the night she fell into a sewer in Derry. An encounter with Pennywise left more than just mental scars; it left a chilling physical truth: the stories are real, and they can bite.
When Lyra wakes on the deck of the Jolly Roger, she expects another brief visit. She didn't expect the alarmingly attractive James Hook, a man who knows her name at first sight through a haunting pull he can't explain and a slow-burn attraction takes root.
But a shadow has followed her. She brings a darkness even Neverland cannot comprehend. Between the boy who won't grow up and a jester who salts people with fear, the story may be about to end. Hook finds himself facing a cosmic horror beyond his comprehension. To survive the jester in the mist, the villain and the reader and some other "fictional" friends must see if they can find a new ending or if the story will finally consume them.

Summary
Keep playing the game. Others may seem friendly, but they’re your opponents. They will act kind, act scared, offer friendships, offer help, talk about love, talk about life, talk about death, make you doubt your abilities, make you doubt your reality, hold a trial without death, deny the game’s importance, question your very existence. But that’s all part of the strategy. No matter what happens, keep playing the game. And don’t mistake this place for heaven.

Join Izuru and Tsumugi in their first year at Hope's Peak Academy! Follow along as they make friends, make enemies, fight the invisible war of Ultimate Hope and Ultimate Despair, and question the nature of reality itself. These are perfectly normal teenage activities, right?

When ghosts haunts the past of human and monster alike, the lingering spirits of two band together to piece together a past lost, and a WISH forgotten.
This takes the main concept of StoryShift (the role swap) and does its own thing from there. This is not a game.
