    Summary

    When his wife is still at war, and a daughter safe in school, Natsu obliges with the military to share his story.
    --
    Most people wouldn’t be able to talk about this, and he still had nightmares about it, but he didn’t have anything to do at home while his little girl wasn’t there, so he agreed.
    “General Dragneel,” the person across from him asked, “Are you sure you’re willing to share what you experienced?”
    He blinked, that’s why he was here right now, right? “If it’s too hard, I’ll just leave.”

    Summary

    ONE SHOT

    Rodrick feels like he’s drowning, but in the best possible way. As her finger traces the rough fabric of his band shirt, the emblem of everything he considers important, his lungs seem to forget their primary function. Every sensation is heightened: the scent of her perfume, the intensity of her stare, and the terrifyingly delicious pressure of her finger against his chest. He leans in a little closer, but this time it lacks the aggressive posturing from before.

    It feels more like he's drawn in by her gravity. Like Regina George is the brightest sun, and Rodrick Heffley is merely a planet orbiting her. He's a drummer; he understands rhythm, but Regina's playing a melody he didn't even know existed.

    Summary

    All too often, the true horror lies not in monsters, but in men.

    A bold new retelling of the beloved classic, unearthing the history long buried beneath the legend. As familiar events unfold through voices the original deemed “needless,” a different truth begins to emerge.

    Blending gothic horror, wry humour, and fervent romance, this version traces a more human yet more unsettling account of the man from Drăculești.

    Summary

    Playtime Co. used to be the gold standard when it came to what a toy company should be. Every product was a hit, every side venture went somewhere, and it had a positive name in every home.

    Fast forward to 1995 and there’s seemingly a new lawsuit every week, their stock prices have plummeted, they’re getting beaten out by rival toy companies, and the media is theorizing about them.

    Open on a teenage boy who’s just working on the factory floor just to get through High School. Until one day he takes a sick day, and the next thing he knows there are army vehicles outside Playtime Co. the next day.

    Fast forward ten years and he gets a mysterious letter telling him to come back to the factory, but only one thing is on his mind when he gets said letter…”I never got my last paycheck!”

    Summary

    As in I am Just a Ghost The Phantom can be referred to with the historically accurate pronoun "Thon/Thons" because phantom is a fancy way to say "Ghost." The male-coded name "Erik " isn't used in the Andrew Lloyd Webber universe. I kept the original ending of Love Never Dies so Twigger Warning for Gun Violence

    Summary

    After witnessing Solas's journey end in sorrow, a spirit awakens in Thedas and waits through ages for the chance to change his fate. When the Conclave is destroyed, Eric Trevelyan becomes the Herald of Andraste, and the spirit takes the name Junah Lavellan, stepping into the life the dead Lavellan left behind. Junah enters a world already on the brink. She wants to help, to love Solas, and to spare him the fate that once broke her heart, but the future she once carried is too vast for flesh to hold. Most of the time, that knowledge lies beyond her reach, and she must simply live as Lavellan and survive this harsh world.

    Summary

    Cardan POV — A Retelling of The Cruel Prince

    Every cruel word Cardan ever spoke to Jude. Every secret glance he never meant her to see.

    And a handful of nights that happened off-screen to the original tale.

    After Nicasia and Locke’s betrayal, the cracks in his circle widen. While Balekin’s ambitions sharpen.

    But the real danger is the mortal girl who refuses to break — and the feeling that is no longer only hatred.

    (Complete retelling with canon + original scenes.)
