    Summary

    Even at the moment of the hiraishin's conception, Tobirama knew the dangers of meddling with the very threads that make up the fabric of existence. He knew that repeated usage only made it easier to traverse between the dimensions because the user became physically more susceptible to slipping through the cracks.

    But knowing something is possible theoretically is very different from experiencing it for himself.

    Summary

    When Prentiss attacks for real, Jon does hear it. There is a song, there, in the worms, and it sings to him, and it grates against his ears so hard he thinks the distorted squeal will never go away, a faux-percussion line of slime and squirming and horrible writhing sounds. It is not music Jon recognizes, it is not music Jon wants in his archives, and yet- he can see where someone would be attracted by the dissonance, the same way he was years ago by the squeal of guitar strings and the crash of the drums.

     

     

    A character study of Jon's relationship with music through the ages. Minor Mechs content included but you don't need to know anything about the Mechs to read.

    Summary

    “You are blooming,” says Viktor incredulously.

    “I thought I had something from the Undercity,” Jayce says, ragged. But no - blooming is the polite word for it, and he’s never heard of it outside of the gilded streets of Piltover. There’s a cure - an easy one - in Piltover. Cait had had it once, as a young teen, for a girl from House Ferros. She had taken three weeks of antibiotics the moment her cough had become bad and it had immediately subsided.

    Jayce could get to Piltover, but it’s been destroyed.

    “I’m going to die in this pit,” he rasps.

    (Or: Jayce contracts Hanahaki disease while stuck in the fissures. Viktor doesn't care, until he does.)

    Summary

    A silent plea rings in Hua Cheng's ears, a final prayer that had, against all reason, been sent to him. It had resonated with a desire with which he’s intimately familiar, one he can't quite bring himself to ignore.

    “Please don't let me leave them.”

    Or,

    Mu Qing dies, and does not rest in peace.

    Summary

    Atsushi is still half asleep, one hand holding his cellphone and the other rubbing tears from his eyes as he yawns, when he opens the Agency’s office door. But any last dregs of sleep are chased away by his skyrocketing heart rate when he realizes Kyouka and Yosano have blades drawn, Kenji is ready to throw the couch, and Kunikida’s gun is raised.

    At him.

    Before he can raise his hands to surrender, Dazai’s smooth voice calls out to him in a tone so icy Atsushi is certain has never been directed at him before, “To what do we owe the pleasure of a visit from the Port Mafia’s rabid tiger on this fine morning?”

    Atsushi’s eyes flick to the open cell in his hand where he sees one unread text message from a contact named “Boss”: Ah, Atsushi-kun! If you would be so kind as to drop by my office at your earliest convenience, that would be much appreciated <3

    Fukuzawa wouldn’t use such flowery language or a heart emoji. So who…? Wait. “Port Mafia’s rabid tiger”? This text couldn’t be from Mori, could it?

    An ability causes Atsushi and Akutagawa to switch lives, but they are the only two people to remember their true allegiances.

    Summary

    When the order comes, Shen Qiao is angry, furious that his brothers kept the negotiations from him. But what can he do? Denying the emperor is asking for death. Shen Qiao has no choice but to enter the Imperial Harem.

    Then, just as Shen Qiao is settling into his new life as a forgotten, low-ranking concubine, the emperor flips his nameplate. Surely, a night with a madman can’t be so bad.

    "Face it, Shen Qingqiu, even if you say your business outside of the sect is your own, it doesn't matter when everyone recognizes you while you do it!"

    (Shen Qingqiu can't stop thinking abt what Qi Qingqi said. Crossdressing ensues.)

    Summary

    Mobei Wu, fifth son of his father, is often relegated to act as a source of entertainment at official functions. Namely music. Which he can't practice at the Ice Fortress because nobody leaves him be. So why shouldn't he practice in Shang Qinghua's living room instead?

    It all goes kind of sideways when Shen Qingqiu discovers the strange guest in the leisure house. A strange guest that he ends up befriending, despite never seeing him face to face.
    Having a friend and finding a safe haven within the sect makes everything better, eventually.

    I’m tired of hating you.

    Summary

    Have you heard? Have you heard?

    They say Lotus Pier is haunted. They say the Yunmeng-Jiang are haunted.

    (Ghost stories are supposed to frighten you. Not make you feel sad, or guilty. But what are the unquiet dead but lingering regrets? What is a restless spirit if not mourners' feelings made manifest?)

    Whose fault was it?

    Summary

    A mass grave is discovered at the edge of the desert, and in it 20 corpses with strange circuitry-like marks on their skin, and masks fused to their faces – masks inscribed with a strange, nearly extinct language that can only be read by a dangerous, reclusive Eremite Tribe . . . and, inexplicably, by Alhaitham.

    Perhaps he should be more bothered by the fact that he never actually studied or learned this language than he is, but as Alhaitham heads out to investigate the grave with Cyno, to learn what happened to these people, there are plenty more pressing problems to worry about. Assassins, betrayal, and ancient secrets plague them on their path to uncover a dangerous plot that threatens all of Sumeru, and suddenly it’s all they can do to survive. With allegiances shifting like the desert sands and primordial powers stirring, Cyno suddenly finds himself unsure of who can really be trusted, while Alhaitham . . . Alhaitham finds himself in a fight for his very soul . . .

    Summary

    Lucifer is absolutely ecstatic when Charlie offers to include a permanent set of quarters just for him in the blueprints for the brand new Hazbin Hotel. Getting to see his little girl for as many meals a day as he remembers to eat is great! Except sometimes that number of meals is exactly zero, and other times he sees her but doesn’t quite manage to follow the whole conversation, but—it’s all group hangouts full of chatter from her little friends around these parts anyways! He’s sure that it’s hardly noticeable! ...He really hopes that it’s hardly noticeable.

    Or: Lucifer has a difficult, very normal day. He tries very hard anyway.

    Summary

    Mu Qing and Feng Xin watched their dearest friend become a shattered version of himself. They watched as the pieces scattered across the floor and the desperate attempt to tape himself back together. They watched as he shed the toxic air shrouding his shoulders and forced filtered sunlight to light up his smile once more.
    They suffered, and cried, and died.
    Their smiles are trophies - proof of their healing pain.
    They will be damned if anyone breaks their friend again.
    Through the sweet melodies of their new lives, love finds them like a blanket - warm and inviting.
    And Mu Qing wonders if it would kill his friends to be on time to class at least once.

    “Yanqing,” Ren says seriously. “Do you know what I do when I miss Jing Yuan?”

    You miss Jing Yuan? Dan Heng thinks about asking, but he doesn’t, because he also wants to know what Ren does.

    Yanqing sniffs. “W-what?”

    Ren puts his bandaged hand to his chest in deep contemplation. “I forget about him.”

    “You don’t have a safe choice, Xuan Zhen. You can’t make a choice that will make you walk out of here clean. Do you know why?”
    Jun Wu bowed down to him, his lips almost grazing his ear. “Because even if you refuse my offer, even if I’ll let you go and not mutilate you, and you’ll manage to reach them before I do, they are never going to believe that you’re trying to save them.”
