    Summary

    He could barely remember the last time he had spoken to his father. Casual drop-ins, then departures without so much as an acknowledgment, just a quick check to see if the child had survived this time, were all he’d ever known. Cold to the core, Lilia Vanrouge obeyed missions for the crown and fought a war; he had never been a father to him, only a drill sergeant who trained him be the perfect soldier and one that tolerated no weakness. His heart was forever shut against giving love, attention, or affection to anyone close enough to see...

    Not even to his supposed son.

    But that begged the question, if his own father couldn’t love him, who would?

    Summary

    “Gods can still be lost, can't they?” Your eyes reopen, lids heavy. “Exiled. Disgraced. Forgotten.”

    Enslavement has seen you branded, cursed. Freedom has seen you reborn, blessed, and soon to be redeemed. Through life & death, through the waking world and dark Duat, and even through holy Heliopolis, you will see your strength, your faith, restored in a new god, will find your divine calling as a devotee, a herald, a protector…as simply being his, and something—someone—more.

    Summary

    In a small London theatre, two leading actors, Lee Pace and Tom Hiddleston, prepare for a new stage production while navigating a growing tension neither fully understands. A brief encounter after rehearsal introduces Hannah (Tom's girlfriend who works in a café), whose presence quietly unsettles the balance between them. What begins as simple curiosity slowly becomes a source of unspoken conflict, stretching beyond the theatre into late-night conversations, awkward silences, and unexpected meetings elsewhere in the city.

    Misunderstandings build, boundaries blur, and each of them carries assumptions they never voice. As opening night approaches, the trio finds themselves caught in a subtle, shifting dynamic, one that hints at something deeper beneath the surface, without yet revealing where it will lead.

    Summary

    Juniper hadn’t thought about Sebastian in years, ever since they graduated from college and went their separate ways. When she finds a letter from her grandpa in her desk drawer at work inviting her to live on his vacant farm, she remembers that Stardew Valley was where Sebastian had said he was from, but she was sure he couldn’t live there now. He was talented at programming and a talent like that surely took him to a fancy company in Zuzu City or even beyond. When she arrives at Stardew Valley, she quickly develops a friendship with the outgoing, blue-haired bartender, Emily, who insists that Juniper visit her at work, and often. One night, as Juniper is settling in for a night visiting Emily at work, she sees the ghost from her past, the one person she never thought she’d see again. His presence in her life again stirs up many prior memories of their time together at college, and the rocky road that led them to a tumultuous end. Now, Juniper is left to wonder how she is supposed to maneuver through living in this small town, when the one person who knew the girl she was in another life seems to be hiding around every dark corner, reminding her of the past.

    Summary

    It's difficult to describe the sensation as like looking in a mirror when the person staring back isn't even recognizable as oneself.
    --
    A freak thunderstorm accidentally sends 2013 Hbox and Mango to the future to meet their 2025 selves. To say that things have changed between then and now would be something of an understatement.

    Summary

    Mel and Abby were supposed to be past this by now..whatever "this" is. Somewhere between what they used to be and what they are now, things got messy, quiet and unresolved. they don't talk about it, they just orbit each other like it doesn't still matter to them.

    Abby keeps herself distracted with Nora, Mel settles into something steady with Owen, it's easier that way for them. it has to be.

    but it never really stopped being about them.

    misread moments, bad timing, and all the things neither of them have the guts to say piles up until it becomes overwhelmingly impossible to ignore what they're still trying to hold onto. what they couldn't let go of.

    Summary

    “My husband and I are trying. To have a baby, I mean,” he clears his throat, fingers tapping awkwardly on the steering wheel. “It’s been a long time. Nothing has worked so far and…you just start to feel hopeless after a while. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel guilty.”

    “It’s fine.” JK’s rigid shoulders relax, and he lifts his elbows to rest on the window sill. “I figured you didn’t actually mean it like that. And for what it’s worth, I’d happily trade off any day. Hand this pregnancy to your mate and move on.” He snorts a derisive laugh in the back of his throat. “Wouldn’t that just make life easy?”

    “Yeah,” Yoongi exhales hollowly. “Wouldn’t it?”

     

    Because building a home takes more hands than any of them expected.

    Summary

    Law's had a thing with food for years. He never eats too much, just enough so he doesn't starve. He stopped trusting everything and didn't feel comfortable counting on anyone to provide him with what he needed. However, after Luffy (sort of, but he couldn't say for sure) forced his way into Law's life, he slowly learned to take things with a lot more ease and loved life instead of dreading every day.

    Summary

    Katsuki managed, rather ungracefully, to sit up on his knees again. He shook out his arm, then leaned over Shoto. He couldn’t see him clearly in the dark, but knew the shape of him like the back of his hand. If kissing him was intoxicating, fucking him felt like home.

    “Katsuki,” Shoto murmured, and the hot and cold hands were back on his chest. “I’ll help. Put my hands where you need them.”

    Katsuki Bakugo has worn a ticking time bomb on his right arm since the War. It goes out in the only way possible - in the middle of battle, in a bloody blaze of glory. He wakes up with icy fingers in his remaining hand: Shoto Todoroki, the Number Two Hero, the man he married, and the one who'd snatched his falling carcass out of the sky.

    In the aftermath, Katsuki works to navigate a new missing limb. Shoto's a perfect support. But the ties of their relationship fray under the strain, and both their careers are on the line. Will they figure out how to talk to each other again, or did Katsuki's right arm blow up their future, too?

    This can be read as a standalone work!
