Summary
Gordon wasn't sad about his situation, per se. He was a bit lonely, sure, but he wasn't sad.
This was what he was created to do, after all, he was made to lend his body to the player, so that was what he did.
But this time, was different.
This time the player was actually there.-FANART IS ENCOURAGED AND APPRECIATED <3-

office au by FireworkArcanist, mathonwys, Moondragon8, quantumducky
Fandom: Blaseball (Video Game)
14 Dec 2022
Summary
aka the "Everyone Invades Parker's Office AU (as it is officially tagged on AO3!!)
canon technically-compliant-but-probably-not-canon au, of sorts! Events proceed more or less as they did in canon, but the context surrounding those events is much deeper. The Tarot Reader is
probably remnants of Megan Itohiding out in Parker's office after the events of Season 19, and also trying to pull former bearer of the Microphone Wyatt Mason out of the Immateria. The three of them are friends and this makes everything way more sad, basically. Now in roughly chronological order so we have some kind of official timeline!!- Words:

Choose Your Path and Call It Fate: Book 1 by Nami_Roland
Fandoms: Tortall - Tamora Pierce
17 Oct 2025

Summary
Thom and Alanna of Trebond spent their lives chafing against their fate. Thom, his father’s heir and only son, must go to the royal palace and become a knight. Alanna, forbidden from taking up arms because of her sex, is destined to become a noble lady in the convent of the Goddess. Never one to accept defeat, Alanna devises a daring plan: the twins will secretly switch places and take their future into their own hands.
But the Gods have other plans. After casting their future in the fire, the twins’ teacher Maude declares that both children’s destinies lie at the palace, and that their paths are theirs to forge from there. Alanna, allowed to chase her dreams at last, is elated. Thom, ripped away from his, is less enthused.
At the palace, the twins will make friends and enemies alike. They will learn skills and endure hardships and find strengths they never expected within themselves and each other. And with the arrival of the King’s handsome and charming nephew, the sorcerer Roger of Conté, they will discover that knighthood is not the only path available for young nobles at the palace.
If only Alanna didn’t despise the man with everything in her.

Summary
After Kel breaks orders and invades Scanra to rescue her Haven civilians in Lady Knight, she is found guilty of treason in wartime.
She escapes with the help of friends and does the only thing Kel could ever conceive of doing in that instance-- she keeps fighting Tortall's war.
This is Kel, however; she is always willing to fight her battles alone, but people will always rise up to fight alongside her.

Summary
With a grunt, Scourge pushed himself to his feet, his knees cracking from the time spent kneeling. He crossed to his holopad and checked it for the twentieth time that day. He held his breath, like always, hoping to find some notification from Varel. Praying for a message, a transmission, anything that told him she was alive and safe. That she was coming home.
But like the past nineteen times that day, his holopad was blank.
