Summary
Wei Wuxian died.
Wei Wuxian died, twice over.
Once, when his golden core was gifted to his dear Shidi. Twice, when he sacrificed himself to destroy the Stygian Tiger Seal.
And unfortunately, death is not a kind thing, not to a human mind already wrought with pain and grief and regrets.
So when Wei Wuxian opened his eyes, in a body made by magic and shadows and the sacrifice of one Mo Xuanyu, it was understandable, then, that he returned somewhat… other.
And somehow, this makes all the difference.

We Could Keep All Our Promises (It'd Be Us Against The World) by Arcxus

Summary
Given that the end of the world was going to happen in a month or so, most people would write their wills and pray and wait. But Trevor's never been good at waiting, and Sypha's got a brain full of crazy plans, and Adrian is an enabler. The only logical conclusion they reach is time travel—hindsight is 20/20 after all. Or whatever they say. Trevor was never one for proverbs (that's more Adrian's thing).
The only issue, as it turns out, is that vampirism is an affliction of the soul, not the physical. Which Trevor only learns of after Sypha's spell has suceeded, reverting his much altered future self at four and ten in a household of ghosts he barely remembers. He's fucked.

Summary
In which a conversation occurs that reveals to Mairon that perhaps... perhaps there is a third path to take, one where there is no need to cut any losses. After all, if anyone were to craft an elegant solution to a conundrum such as Tyelpë's adoration, it would be Annatar.
Meanwhile, Telperinquar just wants Annatar to take care of himself. Ainur or not, sleepless nights cannot be good for one's mind.
And this shifts things, creating the smallest step towards a kinder future.

Summary
This is related to my first fic, "It's Not the Destination (But The People You Save Along The Way)" that's a bit of a canon rewrite / fix-it wth a sprinkling of more. Read that first for context, just the first chapter is enough. This? This is my escape from plotting angst with ridiculous future crack set in that same verse.
Each chapter will be a standalone "episode," and I'll update sporadically as the mood hits.

“Today we’ll be visiting the infamous ‘Sally House,’” Jin Zixuan recited, surprisingly the best public speaker out of all of them. Wei Ying went off topic. Lan Zhan was a block of stubborn ice. Jiang Cheng said ‘fuck’ too much. “Because when it comes to supernatural phenomena in modern times, it’s easily faked. Therefore, we’ll be going in with actual talismans and cultivation practices from our heritage and testing if its,” he inhaled deeply, “Fact or cap. I hate that. Who wrote this script?”
“I did!”
Jin Zixuan looked pained. “Of course you did. Of course you had to include that.”

Begin Anew (and Shed thy Past Self) by Arcxus
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
24 May 2020
Tags
Summary
Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero, and Kacchan's best friend, and save people. Izuku gets one half of this wish, and the rest is broken in harsh words and insults.
Touya Todoroki wanted to escape, protect his siblings, start all over. Touya gets one half of this wish, the rest burns away into ashes and regrets.
— — —
Izuku liked his brother. He was kind, he had gentle eyes. He carried Izuku on his shoulders and always said yes to playing hero with him and Kacchan.
Izuku knows it’s only been a week since Touya crashed into their lives, injured and hurting but so very, very brave, but he fits. He fits with them so well that sometimes Izuku wonders if Touya had secretly been there all along.
He’s always sad, too. Sad in a way Izuku doesn't understand, but Izuku was determined to make Touya smile. He’d gotten four! Four whole smiles out of Touya already! And four was a lot, Izuku knew. Izuku had been four for almost six months now.

What does this change? Everything.

Summary
“Oh.” Keith blinked. “Huh. Okay. But we got the info, right?” He asked. He remembered retrieving the USB (it wasn’t really a USB, but that was the closest english translation) pretty clearly, even if the rest of the mission’s details got fuzzy in the end.
Antok nodded. “Yeah. Good job on that.”
“What was on there?” Keith said, and moved to sit up. “Is Regris okay-” He cut himself off when he caught a glimpse of his hand.
His clawed, purple hand.
(When a trial mission for the Blade of Marmora goes awry, Keith ends up having to deal with certain... changes. A post-season 2 cannon-divergence fic, featuring Keith as a purple space cat.)

Summary
When had Stiles' life gone so pear shaped?
He was a werewolf now, there was a creature murdering people, and a really hot guy next door - who was kinda scary, but also kinda helping them. Also - hunters. Let's not forget the Argents, especially since Scott was dating one. Lady fate was really screwing him over.
Fine, then.
He was gonna be the best damn werewolf there ever was.
