“How long do you plan on keeping me here?”
“Long enough to ensure you have your head on straight.”
“What will happen to me when I return?”
Gallagher’s gaze turned sly, “Do you think anybody will miss you? I assure you, birdie, time will continue to move forward. They regard you as their disharmony and nothing more. There’s no need to rush back.”

Summary
Kieran titled his head and the sight of the night sky through his window entered his peripheral. Most of the stars had shied away from the hustle and bustle of the festival, leaving only the bravest ones to shine. He held up the charm between them, envisioning it as a part of their cluster.
Florian had given it to him. It was a prize from his record-breaking result in Ogre Oustin’, but he had chosen to give it to Kieran with a grin.
This was the first time Kieran had ever held a star.
A prodigy of a boy appeared at Kitakami, and the rest was history.

Summary
"A sudden gust of wind alarmed him. He glanced back. The clouds were parting; the moonlight beamed into the cavern, lifting the concealing darkness. The wispy mist rising from the stream sparkled as it caught the light, illuminating the cavern in a subtle glow.
He cast his gaze across the cavern once more. Standing where the shadows have melted away was a boy. He was clad in white against the dark walls like a pale, faded ghost; his gaze flitted away, unable to meet Florian’s own."
Deep within the isolated land of Kitakami, Florian comes across a lonely boy hidden away in the mountains, scorned and cast away from his village for his apparent inhumanity.

Summary
“Another anomaly in this shining universe,” the knight says. He kneels in a pool of brackish water on the ground, armour making a light creaking noise as he covers Velite’s hand with his own.
“What…what are you doing?”
Velite means for this to come out much more accusatory and much less panicked than it does.
“All that’s best of dark and bright,” Argenti continues, shaking his head as if he’s overwhelmed by Velite’s mere presence. “You... are truly beautiful.”
Velite had given up his childish dreams long ago and accepted his bleak reality as a cog in the IPC machine. Then he met Argenti. (Night of Universal Hallucinations from Velite's point of view or, how Argenti brought beauty to Velite's life again.)

Summary
On the banks of a purewater lake, a harp strummed, pondering.
Its crystal notes cut through the thick wall of fog that surrounded its banks, and the wreath of mist that curled languidly above the water’s surface. The silver-branched trees bore silent witness to this performance, as the reeds bowed, as if in tribute. Below, the silhouettes stumbling into the glassy waters paused as the melody struck into their hearts with a bittersweet familiarity. Wisps of memory resurfaced - hadn’t they been somewhere before this? Hadn’t there been something they wanted to do?
There had been a prophecy. No one remembered how it ended.

Summary
“Neuvillette slowly approached, his cane clicking against the ground with every step. The torrents of water surrounded him like a protective shell, making his clothes float as if he were underwater.
He opened his eyes and looked straight into the pitiful criminal’s face. By the man’s expression, he knew his message had been passed on loud and clear.
‘Do not test me ever, ever again, else I will kill you where you stand.’”

Upon the Shores of the Primordial Sea (written before 4.6) by Laevateinn_o7

Summary
Legend says that when the first usurper came to the primordial sea, the first sovereign gave him a goblet of water.
Later, he became the unquestioned god-king, and used this goblet of water to refine the mysterious drops of dew, establishing a splendid and powerful empire.
But that is now an ancient story, whose main characters now sleep in the phosphorescence of the schools of the deepwater fish-...the great Remus came to Fontaine, envisioning a mighty and eternal city. He instructed the people, and eventually managed to reach one part of his dream. Then swiftly came the prophecy — not ill-intended, yet horrifying beyond measure — that the golden melody would one day end, and Remuria would fall.
It is often said that "should a hero not die upon returning home, they shall become a tyrant." The justice that Remuria imposed to escape this destiny would eventually turn into tyranny, and this tyranny brought about resistance like a wrathful tide. Thus did Remus vanish — Remus the eminent, Remus the halfwit, Remus the far-sighted, Remus the solitary.(or, the retelling of some in-game lore through ship lens after much debate, a lot of hair pulling, extensive lore brainrot and all 5 stages of grief)

Summary
It is sweet on occasion to play the fool.
Furina was born of a small mountain spring, the most unassuming of God King Remus of Remuria's many children. If one were to have asked anyone who knew her back then, who they would have guessed to live the longest of King Remus's progeny, she would have been the last on their list. But as Remuria fell, as all nations who dare to defy the heavens are destined, she alone remained of that damned blood line. She alone remained even as Egeria rebuilt the pieces of Fontaine from the Archon War. Furina alone remained when one of Seven Sovereigns, the Dragon of Water, was reborn into this world—and it was her who reached out and grabbed that little hand.
Neuvillette does not understand why he was born into this world—or who exactly he is. But, that strange woman who walked into his life one day has never lead him astray. So he continues to follow after her until their road ends.

Bookmarker's Notes
So pretty i shed tears on this
I never thought this anime on sharks would be this emotional to me, Truly inspiring. And when the shark came to shark i started to cry on how good it was. Astral eating sand was the best ending for this saga. 10/10 shark showing doubt to Shrek was top-tier writing -

Summary
Cato scoffed, stepping forward and planting a boot on Peeta’s chest, pushing him down until he was lying flat on his back, “Because fear is stronger than love,” he said, “And you’re afraid to die, just like the rest of them.”
[AKA, the one where Cato exerts some force on an injured Peeta, (supposedly) in the name of finding out where Katniss has gotten to. Cato/Peeta, live on the Hunger Games.]
