    Summary

    It was the last thing he has left that proves anything happened between them back then was real.

    OR

    Barbatos gave Morax a jade pendant, which is the last thing shared between them before the Cataclysm happened, a fight occured, and Barbatos vanished for 500 years.

    Morax loses his mind a little when he realized he lost it. And he thinks about their (past) relationship. And well you'll see

    (There will be a chapter 3 for a happy ending if you need it, but stop at chapter 2 if you want hurt no comfort)

    Summary

    You read the title, this is a fic where I write if all the characters from Sonic the Hedgehog played a role in Epic: the musical. I already planned the casting out and it's a mixed media of characters from different media.

    With our beloved hero, Shadow the Hedgehog on his way back home from war. He goes through many lengths to see his family. He'll face monsters, gods, and even his own morals the more he questions himself on the journey back home. Hopefully, he can bring everyone back home. Join in on a rollercoaster of emotions. If you've seen or listened to the musical, then you know what is about to go down.

    Summary

    Tom Hayward thought he knew what it meant to wait in uncertainty. He had sat outside sickrooms before. Had listened to muffled, somber voices behind doors that would not open for him. He had learned that particular shape of helplessness that came from being close enough to hear pain, but not close enough to stop it. He had thought, at that time, that it was the worst kind of distance. He was wrong. This was worse.

    Tom's thoughts as he waits outside Mary's delivery room.

    Summary

    "Whoever can string my husband's old bow and shoot through twelve axes cleanly will be the new king, and sit down at the throne of Ithaca."

    Penelope thought she knew despair. It had been a constant feeling, a companion every candlelit night as she unraveled the shroud. It was the ache in her chest every day since the ships had left port, or the trembling of her hands every time she saw a new bruise on Telemachus' skin.

    Penelope knew despair as a constant feeling, like a patient struggle.

    For the first time, despair had betrayed her, showing her a new face and a mouth full of blood.

    Summary

    He never asked for her hand; he only asked for the right to wait. She smiled at him once – so small a thing – and he was never the same.

    A man falls in silence for a woman who commands every room she enters. After her PhD defense, a single smile changes everything. Late-night calls, honest confessions, and the terrifying beauty of almost.

    This is the geometry of drowning in nothing – and calling it ours.

    This is a story about the courage that lies in a heart that chose to wait for the right to call her finally his.

    Summary

    Es un último intento para salvar a su gente.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi es quien se ha ofrecido para llevar a cabo esta tarea. No muchos estaban inclinados a hacer tal cosa, como lo es ofrecerse como sacrificio a un inmortal, pero situaciones desesperadas requieren medidas de igual magnitud.

    En pocas palabras: Anakin es un dios y Obi-Wan hace un pacto con él a cambio de que lo ayuden a él y a su gente. (Al final el dichoso pacto no es lo que esperaba, porque tradujeron mal el pergamino.)

    Summary

    Penelope decides that the best way to fight off suitors (until whenever Odysseus gets back-because he has to) is for Telemachus to rise to the throne. The only thing is that for this plan to fully work and for the suitors to back off, he must marry. His reign must be legitimate and foolproof. What will he do? It is expected he will marry a woman, produce an heir, all that stuff that comes along with being king, but what if that isn’t the life he wishes for? What if he doesn't wish to be king, marry a woman, or live this life of royalty anymore?
