Summary
Sasha fixed Tim and Martin with a glare that was deathly serious. “But why should that stop us? It is— or was, I suppose, given... everything— our literal job to investigate supernatural events. If the police won’t figure out what happened to the Institute, we’ll do it. Doesn’t everyone deserve that? Doesn’t Jon deserve that? ”
In the face of an unyielding apocalypse, the being that was once Jonathan Sims has a final, desperate idea. The archival assistants pick up the pieces.

Summary
Is it running from your problems if your problems consider you to be a dead imprint of consciousness that killed their son? Yes, but Danny tries not to think about how his nightmares of his parents trying to kill him came true when they found out he was Phantom.
After being on the run from his parents and the government for a couple of months, moving from town to town, Danny ends up in Gotham City and decides to risk staying in Batman's territory. He'd take the wrath of Batman over live vivisection via beloved parents or being studied and torn apart by the government. Besides, he's not a meta. Being dead is a medical condition.

Summary
Astarion: HAHA! I manipulated and tricked you all into liking me and never abandoning me!
The Party: By making well-balanced decisions that met the needs of the group while helping us accomplish our short-term goals and listening to us talk when we were upset and stuff? Despite the fact you didn't always want to do that?
Astarion: Wait....
The Party: That's just friendship, stupid.
AKA: A collection of things that ostensibly happen in the same little mental universe. Loosely based on the events of an Origin Astarion run and the various questions it inspired. Not published in sequential order, but ordered somewhat by the narrative timeline.

Summary
Jack was a human trying to live a normal life. Problem is, supernatural beings keep showing up and making it very hard. What do you do when you find out you're rooming with a vampire in college? Do you buy a house when it's haunted by someone who died before their time? And what do you do when you run into your shifted werewolf coworker?
This sounds crazy, but it's Jack's every day life. Perhaps if you read the story, you won't think he's as crazy as he believes he is.

Summary
In which Mumbo crosses several towns, learns some creative methods of self-defense, fights some monsters, sees things no human is meant to have seen, befriends a stranger, steals multiple cars, has inconvenient moral scruples, grows increasingly terrified of his own culpability in the apocalypse, grows a spine, blows up at least one building, accidentally prevents a murder, and attempts to find his best friend in the futile but ever-burning hope the man’s still alive.
He has to say, he’s so exhausted and terrified that he thinks he might just be mad?
(OR: the one where, after most of humanity turns into a series of terrifying monsters, Mumbo decides he’s going to risk his life on an apocalypse road trip to try to find out if Grian is alive. Things, as you might imagine, devolve from there.)

Summary
The world had never seemed colder when Tubbo finds Tommy huddled underneath a pillar taller than the clouds themselves. In a stroke of sudden, furious defiance, Tubbo drags Tommy behind him and runs into a spruce forest that seems to welcome them with open arms, and the duo find themselves in a new world far away from home.
Join an ex-president, an exiled teenager, and a builder with a secret to hide on a roadtrip-esque journey of recovery and self-discovery. Watch as bonds are reformed, a new family is found, and a group of broken people fight against forces out of their control for one more chance at happiness.
(A million worlds away, a white-masked man turns a server upside down in search for two missing children.)
(A million worlds away, deep in The End, a frozen trail grows warm and a stagnant search begins anew.)

Summary
Tommy stands where he stood. His arms fall to his side from where they were outstretched, swinging limply as he meets Tubbo’s eyes and smiles. He coughs. One of his hands flies to his mouth. He sways, and his hand falls away to reveal blood spilling from his mouth.
Dream pulls his axe from Tommy’s neck.
...
Or, Doomsday has passed and L'Manberg is a smoking crater. It's just Tommy and Tubbo, friends together again, facing off against Dream on the mountaintop alone after preparing for three days. No allies, no backup, no one who knows what's happening. Just them, the disks, Dream, and Dream's burning need to control and posses, enforced with his axe.

Summary
Tubbo has work to do, he realizes. Work he can do as soon as Ranboo stops hovering and asking in tones too soft for Tubbo if he’s alright. He talks to Tubbo like he’s made of glass, like he’s about to shatter. And Tubbo supposes that would be alright for other people grieving dead best friends- gods know Niki probably needed someone like that after Wilbur died, but Tubbo isn’t Niki.
No, Tubbo’s made of sterling stuff. He doesn’t break like that. He doesn’t know how to; no one ever taught him how you’re meant to have a breakdown. So he just… doesn’t. Tubbo just isn’t meant for that kind of thing, and he’s better off for it. Because it means that when everyone else is busy grieving, he can keep busy and work on what matters: bringing whoever dragged Tommy kicking and screaming into this mess to justice.

Summary
Here are the reasons why Tubbo is okay:
One, his best friend is alive.
Two, he’s married.
Three, his son is safe.
Four, Dream is in prison.
Five, Technoblade decided Snowchester isn’t enough of a government to be blown up.
Six, Wilbur was revived a hell of a lot more reasonable than anyone thought and decided to fuck off into the woods rather than kill anyone.
Seven, Tubbo has nukes, so if reasons four, five, and six turn out to be untrue, Tubbo can fix that real quick.

Or, Tommy gets a therapist. Tubbo works through some complicated feelings about it.
