    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    But perhaps, you think, stirring your suddenly stilled feet into action, this is an opportunity. You have spoken many times to your group about the problematic nature of your Alternian counterpart’s methods. Surely, therefore, it behooves you to take the time, not just to attempt to analyze and deconstruct his words in absentia, but to actually call out the source of the toxic rhetoric in person. In fact, you have often mused about what you would say to him, how you would demonstrate to him his misconceptions and contradictorily kyriarchy-reinforcing methodology. You had not anticipated the reality of the situation coming upon you so suddenly, but, you suppose, no time like the present. Especially since he’s spotted you. So you remind yourself that while your own unexamined societally-instilled reactions may raise their metaphorical heads at unfortunate times, it’s important not to let your acknowledgement of them prevent you from educating others on the important issues, and walk towards him.

     

    In Which Kankri Vantas, Social Justice Activist Extraordinaire, engages in dialogue with his other-universe counterpart.

    It's surprisingly productive.

    Summary

    Ciaphas Cain just intended to spend time partying with the local elite to make his lifetime posting managing a bunch of PDF on a backwater world like Slawkenberg more comfortable. Now his face is on the flag of rebellion across the system, he has an enamoured Daemon Princess stalking him from the Warp, and the lunatics are looking to HIM for leadership …

    Summary

    It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”

    Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”

    “Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”

    (There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)

    Summary

    In which Byleth leads the Blue Lions and attempts a full recruitment run. Meanwhile, in the classroom next door, a war is (possibly) averted via the power of boredom, being left behind, and general tomfoolery.

    Or, in the wake of a story that is no longer theirs, the final remnants of the Deer collide with the last dregs of the Eagles and (maybe) change history.

    Summary

    “Can you read?”
    Sothis tumbled to the floor, grabbing at Byleth’s coat with tight fists. We have been had, child! Code yellow! Swerve! Swerve!
    The words fell from Byleth’s lips without hesitation.
    “I don’t know. Can you write?”

    ~

    Byleth can’t read, Sothis can, and the Garreg Mach student body tries to see how far their newest professor is willing to push her luck.

    Summary

    Then the Alliance delegation shows up, and their offering strolls through the gates of the monastery like he already owns the place.

    A reminder, for those who need it: Cyril is not an idiot. He has good eyes and he uses them.

    An observation, for those who want it: The Golden Deer house leader is Almyran.

    ~

    Cyril knows a lot more than he lets on, Claude is far less covert than he thinks he is, and messing with the guy your parents told you was a possibly-unkillable demon-prince isn’t usually supposed to earn you a lasting friendship but hey… life is already pretty damn weird.

    Summary

    The morning after her and Byleth's wedding, Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg wakes up in her old bedroom in Garreg Mach to discover that she has brown hair, only one Crest, ten happy and healthy brothers and sisters, and a bad habit of sleeping through her professor's lectures. Hubert is unusually cheerful, Byleth teaches the Blue Lions, and nobody has heard of the Flame Emperor. Instead, a figure known as the Hurricane King and his sinister cohort the Death Knight stalk the monastery.

    No sooner has Edelgard sought out this new world's Byleth than she finds herself standing in the eye of a storm of continent-spanning conspiracies centered on a young man with snow-white hair — one that will engulf Garreg Mach, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, the Adrestian Empire, and Edelgard's own family as it carries the roaring winds of war across Fodlan. A threat from a past so ancient it predates even Fodlan's oldest and murkiest myths is stirring, threatening to tear time itself asunder — and it may be her only way back home.

    Might not be 4000% consistent with each other, but generally set in the same world! Playing fast and loose with my own fanon of an already kind of vague and inconsistent canon. It's freeform jazz, baby.

    Summary

    Chapter 1: Happiness was supposed to be something that only happened to other people.

    (An AU in which Hayato is an actual kid, instead of a creepy plot-convenience device, which results in absolutely no Justice being enacted whatsoever but Happiness reigning supreme.)

    [Or: In which I make a fucking serial killer fucking cute and it fucking works.]

    Chapter 2: Jotaro makes a new friend.

    Who turns out to have once been an enemy, but it’s funny how drastically some things can change.

    [Or: In which Justice gets screwed over yet again, and people who suck at friendship somehow end up with friends.]

    Chapter 3: In which there are confusing moral/philosophical dilemmas and Josuke watches (and helps) his friends move on from Yoshikage Kira.

    Chapter 4: Jotaro visits his wife and daughter, a little bit changed for having become friends with Kosaku Kawajiri.

    Summary

    Mondo Oowada gives a practical lesson on the differences between 'I killed', 'I ended up killing', and 'I tried to kill but failed miserably'.

    It is, unsurprisingly, a rather unpleasant experience for everyone involved.

    Summary

    How do you move forward when the world's ended?

    How do you pick up the pieces of a broken soul?

    A tree, once it crumbles to ash, will never again be a tree.

    (But sometimes, in the ashes, there is a seed. And with enough patience and enough care,
    Does it really matter if it doesn't grow into the exact same tree?)

    Sequel to The Lion's Den

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    Summary

    It’s almost worse, Jotaro thinks, that Kakyoin actually means it. Kakyoin really literally actually wants to go on a roadtrip vacation to tour and sightsee with the guy he tried to assassinate and who then proceeded to beat him unconscious.

    What the fuck is wrong with this guy.


    Jotaro Kujo’s no good, very bad road trip to hell Dio’s mansion with Evil Kakyoin.

    Or, the one where Kakyoin arrives to kill Jotaro before Joseph and Avdol can arrive to explain things, confusion ensues, and Kakyoin and Jotaro make their merry way to Egypt before anyone can figure out what’s happening at all.
