Summary
Something crashes into his side.
Aguiar doesn't even hear it coming. All the air vacates his lungs, and he and the assailant hit the ground. They roll. The sword goes flying. When they come to a stop, Aguiar splayed on his back and his vision spinning, a delicate giggle reaches his ears.
Figures.
“Well, that’s not very nice of you, my love,” sings X, straddling his waist. “What’s gotten into you, hm?”
~*~
Or, during the confrontation with the vampires in the church, Jasper loses himself to the Intentions of Aguiar's mask. This time, it's up to the others to snap him out of it before the Mutilador makes one of them his next victim.

Summary
“And Aguiar!” Kemi adds. “For the love of God, stop pacing like that! You’ll fuck up your bandages!”
Aguiar has, in fact, been pacing loops around the bottom floor of the mansion for a while. Jae hasn’t paid this much heed until now, what with being preoccupied trying to have a moment with Labi, but their curiosity begins to creep in.
“Aguiar,” Labirinto calls, “what are you doing?”
“Why aren’t you in bed?” asks Jae, arguably the more important question. Cleaned wounds or not, Aguiar looks two blinks away from collapsing where he stands, and there are several perfectly suitable beds for him to collapse into. Jae’s, for example.
~*~
Or, after the war against the Couraças and the loss of Dalmo, Jae just wants to go to bed---but some company wouldn't go unappreciated.

The Archivist of Ordo Realitas by BecausePlot for a_Saga_in_progress
Fandoms: Ordem Paranormal (Web Series)
24 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
The agents tell Carina that the archivist of Ordo Realitas is an enigma. Apparently, she is always at the base, but she never leaves her room. Only some of these agents have seen her; none of them are certain of her name. Two went to consult her about some old mission files, and they describe her to Carina as everything from ‘standoffish’ to ‘insane’ to ‘an utter bitch.’
According to these agents, the Order’s archivist is an unnerving, callous woman who practically lives in the archives and is, as far as anyone’s concerned, little more than a ghost. At the same time, they admit that she is the leading expert on their oldest, most sensitive documents, and she routinely assists mission teams with their research.
However, there is one thing that is particularly curious. The agents claim that the only person who seems to talk to her regularly is Arthur. Not the mission teams, not the other researchers in the computer room, not even Senhor Veríssimo. Arthur.
So of course, Carina is terribly intrigued.
~*~
Or, after handling the investigation of 'the Devil' in Mato Grosso, Carina finally arrives at the Order base to properly meet her new allies---including the Order's elusive archivist.

Summary
He only has one hand on the steering wheel.
This fact comes to him delayed. He is too caught up in trying to process the sudden change and not crash the van as the disorientation comes swinging in. But once Veríssimo has oriented himself in space again—dead of night, in the van, empty passenger seats, is he heading away from the Perimeter?—he realizes that he only has one hand on the steering wheel.
And he only has one hand on the steering wheel because the other is cradling a sleeping infant to his chest.
Veríssimo is a Veríssimo. A man of the Order. He has made a life out of facing the horrific, the impossible, and the absurd. There is very little that can shake him these days.
He slams the breaks and pulls over before he can even process what he is doing.
~*~
Or, in which Veríssimo leaves the Perimeter, becomes a father, makes a phone call, lies about a hook-up, remembers something that hasn't happened, and nearly crashes a van—not particularly in that order.
(OR or, the aftermath of Veríssimo suffering from amnesia as he leaves the Perimeter, plus one baby.)

The Truth Is Stranger Than My Own Worst Dreams by BecausePlot
Fandoms: Ordem Paranormal (Web Series)
30 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Oh, the darkness got a hold on me...
~*~
“Are you still in that void? Can you see everything?”
“Void? I’m…” Thiago looks around, to be sure. “No, I-I’m not. We’re…in a hospital? What…”
That is when Liz says the words that Thiago spent an eternity thinking he would never get to hear.
“Santo Berço is gone. It burned down. The parasite god is dead, and none of us can turn into Luzidios anymore. We’re in the hospital of Carpazinha. The rest of the team made it out, too—everyone, the five of us. We’re still here.”
~*~
Or, Thiago survives the explosion in the Cave, despite all the odds.
After decades of torment and being scarred in more ways than one, Thiago wants to put Santo Berço and the Symbol behind him—for the sake of his friends, and for the sake of himself. However, nightmares, shaking hands, and an invasive sense of wrongness make this much more difficult than he anticipates.
(Chin up, Thiago. Your story isn’t over yet.)

Not Quite Fast Enough by BecausePlot

Summary
Mia has gotten her feet planted when she sees the doors jolt. Relief floods her as they unjam themselves and slide smoothly open, hitting the insides of the shaft with a reverberating THUNK!
And there, on the back wall of the Containment Zone, she sees it. Thank God for big, glowing buttons.
But Goliath has turned around, claws digging into the earth, and the bulk of its body is blocking the door.
Five seconds. That is as far back in time as the déjà vu radio can take her. So Mia will have five seconds—from the instant before she enters, to the moment she activates the radio—to contain Goliath.
Now or never.
Mia forgets her fear and charges forward.
~*~
Or, Mia finally has everything she needs to contain Goliath and see what it has been guarding all this time. Now it's just a matter of execution. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Higher brain function fucking blows. Thiago can't be assed to come up with anything. Especially if he has to argue about it. And Liz is going to want to argue about it. He needs something irrefutable.
Hm. A feeling curls in him, delighted.
This is a bad idea, Thiago thinks right as he leans over and smacks a kiss on Liz’s cheek.
“Never have I OW,” he yelps as Liz strikes him in the shoulder. “Never have I ever been kissed by Thiago Fritz.”
~*~
Or, in which Thiago plays Never Have I Ever and only makes good decisions (lying).

Summary
Still, it has been a long, tiring day. It ended with their team fighting off a horde of creatures and running all the way across Santo Berço to get to the hotel. Everything the Hotelier said has made Liz uneasy, but really, all she wants now is to get some sleep.
Except someone won’t stop tossing around.
Liz drops her arm over her eyes and groans. “Thiago, for the love of God, would you please stop moving? You make the mattress jump every time you flip over.”
~*~
Or, Liz and Thiago share a room.

Summary
Her own blood is oozing through her fingers. It’s spilling fast, sand through an hourglass. Liz knows the physical side effects of blood loss; she has seen countless corpses bled dry in her time, too. Dizziness to shock to unconsciousness to death. She is all too aware that she is short on time.
“I don’t know what to do,” Joui blurts. She can feel him shaking, see his chest heave as hard as her own. His voice is frantic, tight. “You’re—There’s too much bleeding— I swore I wouldn’t let this happen again—”
“I’m not going to die, Joui,” Liz cuts him off.
Because it’s true. Liz can’t die. She has to take care of the others so they aren’t killed by this wretched work too, and she can’t do that if she’s dead herself.
So Liz won’t die. She can make sure of that.
First step: stop the bleeding.
~*~
Or, after chasing down and killing the "creature" that was attacking the Farmer's cows, Liz and the rest of the team are attacked in turn. This time, things take an unexpected turn.

Summary
There is a dangerous sort of wistfulness tugging at Thiago as he watches the boy go—hazy-edged memories of his own escapades with his friends as a kid, far too distant now—so he looks back at the corner store's drink selection.
As he makes his choice of beers, his phone buzzes. Thiago sets down the cases and checks. A text from Liz: “Where are you?”
Thiago taps out a reply: “Took the scenic route, be there soon”
Two checkmarks, and an answer: “Ok” “No rush”
Thiago cracks a brief grin, hearts the last message, and pockets his phone again.
~*~
Thiago doesn’t actually know what age he is anymore. He lost decades in the Cave, that much he can tell. The lines of his face say fifties, the white in his hair says sixties, and the blast scars muddy the rest of the details.
When making his falsified documents, the Order put him down as fifty-seven and left it at that. That’s good enough for Thiago. Best not to think about it too hard.
~*~
Or, sometime between the bad and the worse, Thiago has a good day.

Summary
Usually, there is one thing Cesar keeps an eye out for when searching the Wastes for skycity tech: The design.
Angular form, sleek shape, white-painted panels, smooth wheels, chromium shimmer. Even when tossed in with the garbage of Castal and shattered on the dusty surface of the Wastes, the gentle, machined curves of a skycity chassis still possess an otherworldly shine compared to anything else Cesar will ever find out here. They reflect sunlight better than most scrap material, which can make them seem to glow with their own brilliance, bright beacons cutting through the sepia-toned miasma that enshrouds the desert and guides Cesar right to them.
Standing at the top of the ruins, looking down at the abandoned, dust-swept street below, this is not what he sees.
~*~
Or, Cesar---a scavenger of scrap tech and a specialist in all sorts of electronics---is a resident of the town of Kerana, a close-knit community living their lives in the heart of the Wastes. While out trying to locate a robot, detected to have fallen from their neighboring skycity early that morning, Cesar and his best friend Arthur discover something much more peculiar than anything they have ever found before.

Summary
It is not something they used to do.
Granted, there are a lot of things that Liz does now that she didn’t before. She didn’t used to kill people. She didn’t used to carry a suture kit. She didn’t used to drink so much. And she certainly didn’t used to live with someone else, especially not with someone like Thiago.
He’s messy. Really messy. (It still drives her up the wall, how his hoodies will land just about anywhere but the coat hooks.)
~*~
Or, Liz and Thiago's relationship is changing. For better or worse, only time will tell.
(A little thing I wrote for my 90 Seconds to Midnight AU. Could be read as stand-alone, but honestly I think more context helps in this case lol.)

Fandoms: Ordem Paranormal (Web Series)
12 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
“Woah, hey—Thiago?”
Another breath. Balance. He needs balance. Where is the Symbol? What is this? The void is receding (come back, come back, please!) and there are shapes in front of his eyes now, but—lines don’t bend that way. Do they? Another breath. He feels bad. Where is the Symbol? This should make sense. He should remember—but what is there to remember? Because nothing else matters, not really, not—
“Thiago, look at me.”
Warmth on his cheek, a push, and his head is being turned.
“Hey.”
He… He doesn’t know what he’s looking at.
~*~
Or, in which Thiago survives Santo Berço, but he does not escape the Symbol. Many months later, as the Symbol is pulling apart what remains of his mind, Thiago follows Liz to the New Dawn Apartments in the hopes of saving her from herself.
(Part of a larger AU called 90 Seconds To Midnight! Can be read as a stand alone, but of course I recommend checking out the master post.)

Summary
Alright, now. Words. How does Kaiser do this. “Hey. It’s uh, it’s me. You…gave me your number about a week back? Said to call if ‘anything comes up.’ Remember?”
There is pause, and then a long hum on the other end of the line. “Ahh, yeah, I remember,” Thiago replies, tone knowing. He yawns. “Good morning, man. How are you?”
“Uh. Bad.”
~*~
Or, Kaiser is an occultist acting as an informant for Equipe E to investigate a group known as "Isentropic". One night, trouble comes for him, and Kaiser finds himself stumbling around, cold, gravely wounded, and all out of options... Except for a number he can call.
Kaiser---used to operating entirely on his own---is not thrilled to make this phone call.
Liz---used to looking at occultists through the sight of a gun---is not thrilled that Thiago received this phone call.
And Thiago? Thiago is just trying to trust his gut and keep the peace.
~*~
OR or, Thiago Come Pick Me Up I'm Scared: The Fic
[Takes place after the events of OSNF in an AU where everyone on the team survives, and before the events of OPD.]

Summary
It’s when she’s checking her GPS again—five minutes, just five minutes, almost there—that she sees Thiago move, out of the corner of her eye. All at once he slumps, chin hitting his chest, hand falling slack from his arm and dropping the gauze and letting the blood-soaked bandages tumble down his arm, dark in the flash of another stray street lamp.
The moment she sees his limp hand, the fresh blood-
Dying again he's dying again he's dying again he's dying-
Liz gasps and her hand flies from the steering wheel to his arm and slams the gauze back on. “Thiago—”
Thiago yelps, jolting and eyes flying open. “The fuck?!”
“Liz-senpai?” Joui pipes up.
“Your arm,” Liz says. Her hand doesn’t move from where it’s barely holding the gauze in place. Her bad shoulder is loudly protesting the angle she’s holding her arm at. She doesn’t move her hand. “You have to keep pressure on it, the wound could still be bleeding."
~*~
Or, just weeks after the Nostradamus case, Liz, Thiago, and a newly-recruited Joui find themselves on their way back from a one-day mission to take care of a local paranormal threat. Liz has a lot on her mind. And so it seems does Thiago. And so it seems does Joui.
