Love triangle of a play by liuzzia

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, 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
Thirteen-year-old Wade Wilson learns very quickly that being seen too clearly makes you valuable.
After his father’s death triggers a mutant ability that exposes what others overlook—cracks, flaws, weak points—Wade stops being treated like a grieving child. His mother calls it opportunity. The weapons lab comes first. The “retreat” for troubled teens comes after.
St. Francis is not designed to help broken kids heal. It watches them, measures them, and decides what they’re worth. Wade is only one of many children being evaluated, refined, and quietly shaped into something dangerous.
This is a story focused on institutional abuse, mutant experimentation, and the slow construction of identity. Humor exists, but it is not immediate or protective.

Summary
Her heart hammered against her ribcage as she stared at the characters carved into the nameplate beside the wooden door. "Satoru", a name that meant to perceive. Maybe he’d look at her and understand. Maybe he’d be the one to make sense of all the mess swirling around in her head.

VVinter Vees 2025: Languages of Love by Tallest_Marij

Summary
This is going to be a series of one-shots that I do throughout December - second time doing a month of daily prompts, but first time for December and first time for the Vees. Am looking forward to it! Since it's the Vees, expect language, sex, and other adult themes. More tags will be added as I go.
This is post-S2 and meant to be something that could happen. And I'm intending for all the pieces to kind of fill into one bigger story. Oh, and why did I also list it under 'Helluva Boss'? Because Helluva charas may have an appearance here, as I don't treat the shows as separate things in my writing.

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
Everyone always carried a stereotype about how an Omega should be: “submissive, weak, and insignificant.” They were expected to settle for being the partner of whatever Alpha agreed to take them, and then give them a family. A pretty poor and outdated way of thinking, considering they were no longer living in the last century. Still, those stereotypes toward that specific sub-gender persisted even to this day.
However, for someone a bit arrogant, rebellious, and more than a little (actually, very) temperamental like Inuyasha, there was nothing that could ever stand in his way—or anything he couldn’t fight against. No one would ever force him to do something he didn’t want to do. He would make his own rules until he destroyed every stereotype about Omegas one by one, proving that not everything is what it seems. Because he is a unique Omega.

Summary
Ever since the X-Event ended, Cross has been searching for... something, though he isn't sure what. Right now, though, all he's looking for is somewhere where he can be alone. Instead, he finds himself in a broken, empty AU that looks hauntingly similar to his own universe after Timeline X. Things only get more complicated when Ink shows up. Outside from the fact that Cross hasn't quite forgiven his ex-friend yet (he wants to, but how can he, when Ink doesn't seem to care about what he did?), it's more than a little concerning that Ink seems to be trying to hide something about this AU.
As it turns out, though, that is the least of their concerns once they realize that a stray Creator has locked them in...
