    Summary

    “What do you think, Dad?”

    “Crap, I dunno. It would feel really awful, I think. I wouldn’t be able to pull the lever. Just thinking about the death on my hands.” Ryland did not want to tell his teenage son this, but when he thought of making the decision, he could not help but imagine being the person tied to the tracks. Watching the tram barrel towards you, being held down, helpless to do anything but accept the fact that you were being sent to your death. Ripped of a choice.

    The trolley problem is a thought experiment in moral philosophy and moral psychology with many variations, involving hypothetical ethical dilemmas about whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number of people. The series usually begins with a scenario in which a runaway trolley (tram) or train is on course to collide with and kill a number of people (traditionally five) tied to the tracks, but a driver or bystander can intervene and divert the vehicle to kill just one person on a different track.

    Summary

    There are a few timelines, tucked away in the tiny Despondos multiverse, in which Adora goes back for Catra just as soon as she can. There are fewer still in which Angella survives, and Glimmer must serve as Princess Regent, and Castaspella teaches Catra how to use her innate magical ability. And there is only one that avoids being exposed to the universe at large, and Horde Prime, until it is absolutely ready.

    Summary

    And when you wrote about Miss Thompson?” His harsh voice and eyes darkened by fury made her flinch, taking a step back. Miss Thompson—Marina hadn't been Miss Thompson for a long time. She had been Lady Crane for two years now, but it seemed Colin still hadn't gotten used to it, or perhaps he refused to accept it. Penelope was on the verge of falling apart. So that’s what this was all about—about Marina and the chance she had stolen from him to marry her. Her heart pounded in her chest, and a sensation akin to nausea settled in her stomach. Her mouth grew dry, and her ears rang as she tried to find the right words to defend herself. But none came.
    Colin and Penelope meet on the night before the wedding, on the dark little street in front of Madame Delacroix’s shop. Events unfold differently than in the show, and Colin doesn’t seem as forgiving. Penelope accepts his criticisms and unfounded accusations, and realizes one thing: he has never gotten over his former love, Marina Thompson, and she was directly responsible for the loss of his engagement.

    Summary

    In a world unseen by most, the doom or hope of humanity is shaped. The metaverse is where desires become power, and those few who find the world have the potential to shape the course of society.
    Fourteen year old band student Ashley Davis is about to start high school, and finds herself wallowing in previous memories of rejection and betrayal. With nobody to confide in, she starts a journal, only to accidentally stumble upon this strange realm and awaken a power unlike anything she had imagined.
    But power attracts enemies, and she and her new friends will soon find themselves facing off against not only the worst of humanity, but sinister beings of an otherworldly nature.

    Updates the first Saturday of every month.

    Marked as both an original story and a Persona story because the story's premise is inspired by Persona 5 (and the Persona series in general). However, you do not have to be a Persona fan to read this, as all the characters and setting are new and the rules of the Persona universe are re-explained (and straight-up altered in a few places).

    Note: This story should only be posted to Archive of our Own and Royal Road. If you find it anywhere else, please let me know.

    Summary

    Captain Christopher Pike, Commander of the ISS Enterprise is plagued by a horrifying vision of his future after his raid on the Klingon monastery of Boreth. But the vision also shows him a mysterious dark-haired woman who might help him avert his cruel fate. And then, one day, he finds that woman, a disgraced Illyrian slave in one of the brothels he visits.
    On impulse he takes her with him, not knowing what to do with her afterwards.

    And just like that, the strange mute woman in his life makes him question everything he has ever taken for granted.

    The story takes exclusively place in the Mirror Universe. I just didn't know how to tag the characters correctly.

    Summary

    "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" - In a famous assessment of the name, the political philosopher Voltaire remarked sardonically: "This body which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.” Ludwig agreed. He was the son of Germania, chosen by Rome himself to lead and guard the Italian Empire. He would not fall.

    Summary

    “Don’t call him that!”

    “What should I call him, then?” Suguru wonders.

    “Gojo. Last-name basis. And you—” he points at Satoru, “—call him Geto, too. You have your Suguru.”

    Satoru arches an eyebrow.

    “Then, by your logic, I call you Gojo as well, and then when Geto talks to me, he calls me Gojo, but calls you Satoru, and you call him Suguru, but I call my Suguru Suguru too, so if we involve any third party in the conversation, it’s—”

    “Okay!” another version of him huffs and crosses his arms over his chest. “I see your point. It’s a mess either way.”

    December 24, 2017.

    "Happily married" fanon Satoru and Suguru get thrust into the world of "miserably divorced" canon Satoru and Suguru. Right into the middle of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. It’s all a bit confusing.

    Summary

    “It’s not about truth or lies… it’s a curse.”

    For Lilac, the Violet Book isn’t a collection of wonders; it’s a shadow that has stained her family’s name for generations. Moving to Paldea was supposed to be a fresh start, but the weight of a legacy no one believes in isn’t so easily left behind.

    Kitakami was meant to be nothing more than a quiet study trip—a refuge of rolling hills and winter air. But between the masks of the festival and a haunted boy who hides his world in a sketchbook, Lilac discovers that some pasts refuse to stay buried.

    In a reality fractured by paradoxes and shifting timelines, Lilac and Kieran must learn that the only thing more terrifying than facing a curse is allowing someone to truly see you.

    A slow-burn exploration of shared trauma, unmasked truths, and finding where you belong when the world keeps trying to rewrite you.
