    Summary

    One was Helena Bonham Carter. She wore a stunning, idiosyncratic gown—dark velvet that seemed to drink the light, with sleeves of cascading ivory lace that fell past her fingertips. Her hair was an artful tempest of dark waves, pinned loosely with antique-looking clips. She held a champagne flute, gesturing with it as she spoke to a production assistant about the lighting challenges of the Great Hall set. She was all witty, intelligent charm, her famous smoky laugh punctuating the technical jargon.

    Leaning against the bar a few feet away, swirling a glass of blood-red wine as if contemplating poisoning it, was Bellatrix Lestrange.

    Not on a break. Not out of character. Simply there, inhabiting the space with the terrifying ownership of a apex predator in a petting zoo. She was in full battle-ready attire: the tailored black robes, the severe corset cinching her waist, the multitude of rings on her fingers catching the fairy lights. Her hair was its iconic, magnificent explosion. She radiated a vibration of pure, unadulterated menace and boredom, her kohl-heavy eyes scanning the room of normies with amused contempt.

    Their paths hadn’t crossed all night. Until now.

    Summary

    The year is 1404.

    Anastasia, a quiet girl from the eastern mountains,
    is chosen by the "threads of fate" - and the world begins to shift.

    The North and South collide.
    Love and hatred intertwine.
    And a single choice twists the course of history.

    But this story doesn't end in 1404.
    It races forward to 2023,
    falls back to 2003 and 1983,
    and finally returns to 1423-
    a chain of alternate histories woven across time.

    In every era, one shadow remains: Ovi.
    It cannot be slain.
    It cannot be erased.
    Because it is the embodiment of human hatred itself.

    Can fate be severed?
    Or will another thread be woven again?

    The story begins here.

    Summary

    Harry and Ron find and look into a very different mirror that Christmas holiday...

    A collection of Harry Potter–themed one-shots and fanfic ideas that never went anywhere. Some are parodies, some were originally written for Reddit prompts, and some are half-finished stories that started strong but collapsed the moment I realized I had no idea what came next.

    A fair few are just parodies or half-parodies that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Harry and Ron certainly aren't going to!

    Summary

    Years pass. People grow. The world moves on without you. The Angel grew content with that for a while. It still hurt whenever they thought of the world that had long banished them, but something new pulled them out of the depths. Now, the Angel walks amongst friends who swear that they will not be banished. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei mean everything to them. Maybe this time, their banishment doesn't have to be as set in stone as they thought.

    The Roaring comes. The light falters. Everyone falls.

    A desperate connection is established in an attempt to save what remains of the Angel. If they fall, all hope will be lost. The world that banished the Angel long ago has forgotten them, but they have not forgotten it. This connection will have to be enough. Even if the rules have changed irrevocably, the Angel's one goal remains the same: Find them.

    Summary

    [I really need your damned probability.]

    Cheon Inho backspaced. It sounded too straightforward. Fuck, he only knows how to incite people using speech and charisma. He's no writer. If only he had Lee Hakhyun here, or Han Sooyoung...

    He knows Yun Daehyun's story won't last long if he doesn't take action. Giving a dead soul not belonging to this timeline, a body of a character is one risky business.

    It's also just a small amount of time before Kim Dokja figures everything out.

    (OR, Kim Dokja falls in love with a strange amnesiac and Cheon Inho has something to do with it.)

    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.

    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

    [Novel Cover]


    To save a world of magic, they recruited a man who ends them.
    Gensokyo is under attack by a being who rewrites reality like code. Their only hope is Nowa Beckitzer, a multiversal drifter whose touch erases creation itself. Plagued by the ghosts of worlds he's destroyed, Nowa wants nothing more than to be left alone to die. But between a suspicious shrine maiden, a magician obsessed with his Forbidden Rune arts, a maid who sees past his armor, and a cosmic horror hacking existence's source code, finding peace might be the one thing he cannot erase.

    But there is an underlying question... Will a Sanctuary of Stories survive the man named: Dead End of Stories... and the one who aims to surpass him?

    The answer is within this story itself.

    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.

    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.

    OR

    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?
