Summary
What would you sacrifice for a world you were never meant to see?
A lifetime of darkness. A stolen body. A gnawing guilt. An unwillingly forced choice.
(Minor spoilers ahead. I would recommend going in blindly for maximum emotional punch. Pun intended.)
Waking up in the body of Oliver Hawk, Dallan experiences the impossible: sight. For the first time, he sees colors, faces, and a world more beautiful than he'd ever imagined. But this gift is a theft. He's taken the body of a beloved son, and his presence is destroying Oliver's family from the inside. He's a blind imposter in a seeing body's world.

Summary
The world seems to slow down as Sanji's heart skips a beat. It seems that whoever is in the heavens above has decided to make Sanji's life miserable. He contemplates his choice to turn around and not face Him, but the moment his eyes meet his own, Sanji finds himself glued to the spot. Sanji’s body stiffens, and suddenly he’s barreled back to being twenty-one and in a screaming match with someone that once called him a coward.
“Mosshead,” Sanji’s eyes narrow at the man standing in front of him — all too real. “It’s been a while.”
Nine years after the Strawhat Pirates go their seperate ways, Sanji lives in the East Blue as the Baratie’s head chef. It’s also nine years after that he receives a call from Luffy, hoping to bring the crew together one last time to fulfill Brook’s request. While most parted on good terms, Sanji and Zoro did not.
Reuniting is a disaster waiting to happen. When Sanji arrives in Sabaody, he quickly realizes that some things can’t be left behind.
Like Sanji’s sudden departure from the crew. Or Zoro’s son.
Or the choices that keep drawing them back to each other.

Summary
Every window and door of every classroom is packed with students.
But nobody’s laughing . . . because they all know. They know what these kids did and they know exactly why this is happening. And these students aren’t stupid; they also know exactly what the underlying lesson is and, given the choked, thick silence, seem to be taking it to heart.
Then someone sees Tony, trailing several steps behind the group of disgraced former students and their soon-to-be-disgraced — and disgraceful — principal . . . and starts clapping. It spreads like a tidal wave until the entire student population of Midtown is cheering and applauding him.
Because he stood up for them. He noticed there was an actual, serious problem and he stepped up and solved it.

Summary
title from Conquest of Spaces by Woodkid
playlist for this ficIn the Universe of Dyrmidon, there is a small pantheon of deities that oversee aspects of reality.
There is a cosmic balance, but one god seeks to destroy everything that mortals and non-mortals alike know and love.
The appearance of one last god will end this danger and remove this god's power to overthrow the Primordial Deity...
but the twisted god of life knows this and will stop at nothing until this god-to-be is dead.Or, a heavily worldbuilt DSMP "Steampunk Pirates In Space" AU that nobody asked for but I have planned out and will work on regardless
I gave a lot of characters different names than canon (for the idea that they're characters, not the creators/actors) so have fun figuring out who's who hehe
it's like a hero fic but betterDISCLAIMER:
There are two original characters based on certain DSMP characters in this fic that are no longer associated with their creators/actors. There are resemblances, to be expected, but they are my OCs now. kay thanks byeSeries

Summary
It all started, in hindsight, with the release of the game called [Red Sands: In Search of the Scarlet Dawn], something of a ridiculous ‘otome’ game featuring the prominent shinobi of Konoha in an odd feudal systems of sorts. A game in which Haruno Sakura was cast as the villainess, her legacy made light of, and her appearance twisted until she was practically unrecognisable. It wasn’t a flattering game to her, and yet it was popular – popular enough for some diehard fan to go out of their way to kill the villainess standing between Sasuke and Hinata’s happiness.
Yet that wasn’t the end of it, rather, death was the beginning of it: of the real Haruno Sakura waking up within that strange world of a game and refusing to follow the so-called ‘plot’ no matter how far along it is.
(or; in which Haruno Sakura becomes a protagonist in the popularised ‘reincarnation as a villainess’ trope, and ponders on why in the seven dimensions did someone create a Madara Route – and how can she get off it, pretty please?)
