Catching a Caught Cat by Random_Reviewer

Summary
"I pray for your protection, I pray for your aid…” Klein felt himself choke up, just a little, at the overwhelming desperation he was feeling in that moment. And at the little sliver of Klein’s childhood that had missed praying publicly to the Goddess, which Zhou had needed to hide away to keep Benson, Melissa, and himself safe while on the run from 0-08 and Ince Zangwill.
“I ask that even though I cannot make a ritual altar for you, I pray you hear me out regardless. I have nowhere else to turn, and with no allies I can contact I will likely die or worse at the hands of MI9 within the next few days. Please…” His voice, even with the Clown Potion helping him keep the worst of his emotions locked behind his perfect mask, still cracked minutely. He coughed. “Help my allies find me..."
“Praise the Lady,” he intoned after a moment of silence, his fingers instinctively tapping out the Crimson Moon on his chest.
---Atypical Cat Catching fic where MI9 captures Klein at the end of Volume 3 and Klein begs the Goddess to save him when all else fails. Then the Goddess does a little too good of a job trying to keep "Her" cat in "Her" clutches.

Summary
"Through Adversity To Return (to) Home"
In a world slightly to the left, the war against Siltvelt went slightly worse than canon. More people died on both sides, and even if the results were ultimately the same, the Three Heroes Church swore in the aftermath that someday the Shield Demon would pay. So the Church plotted and schemed, and upon the summoning of the Four Cardinal Heroes, they acted. It was found through journals of previous Heroes that curses could only be applied to a Hero if it did no direct damage, and if it could not be used to control the Hero. Thus, a holy curse was concocted to keep wounds on application fresh for as long as it was active. And after encouraging the King to do as he saw fit for a corporal punishment that ended with a least a little blood being shed, the Church sat back and watched their carefully crafted plan come to fruition...
This is a collection of moments from that offshoot, compiled together closely enough to almost resemble a story. Events will stay fairly close to canon, but it's the little things that can, at times, make all the difference. Very Naofumi-centric.

And Dreams You'd Thought You'd Lost Along The Way by Random_Reviewer

Summary
Lance Kingsmen is a simple man who has been through some hard times, but gaining custody over his nephew brought with it some of the best and worst of times and he wouldn't have it any other way.
A limited 3rd-person reflection on one of those worst times paired with one of the best: a love letter to an uncle character who certainly gets some love but I think deserves even more.

Summary
Spinning off from Chapter 33 of alphashley14's amazing fic: "One of Us"; In a "Bad Ending" what if scenario, Professor Pericles connects the dots that the angry ghost that ruined his plans was singing a song from the same group that "Ricky's" been singing the songs of for the last 2 days, which matches up timing-wise with some of the odd behaviors he's been previously brushing off. So, while he doesn't know who is currently in Ricky's body, he is fairly confident that whoever it is is associated with the Mystery Skulls in some way. Thus, Professor Pericles ramps his previous controlling behavior up to eleven and imprisons Arthur for a week before Lewis is finally able to break him out.
Chapter 1 is the imprisonment and Rescue; Chapter 2 is the fluff post rescue!

Summary
“I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”
Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”
Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.
“My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”
“Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”

Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship, and somehow surviving the struggles of deep space—all while maybe falling in love with the strange man with blue eyes.- Language:

Summary
The deep sea has rules: keep your water pump close, don't let your jellyfish lamp go out, and never, ever swim toward the bioluminescent lights.
When Ryland and Rocky stumble into an ancient graveyard of sunken ships, they expect ghosts and crumbling wood. Instead, they find a trail of dark clouds fogging the stale water.
Then blood. So much blood. And at the center of it, a dangerous creature of the deep that Ryland's foolishly soft heart won't let him leave behind.

Summary
Commander Simon Fisher, Prince of the Old Blood, did not make it out of the Consolidation Wars without leaving pieces of his body, his faith, and his sanity behind. But the proud and resource-starved kingdom of Edenne needs him for one last mission: they're marrying him off to fulfill a treaty without so much as a "thank you for your service."
His Royal Highness, Prince Doctor Ryland Grace of Francisco would much rather be studying beetles than navigating the perils of court intrigue. Marrying a stranger would be bad enough, but when it turns out that Prince Ryland's new fiance is not just a savage Edenne warrior, but the Butcher of Filament Fortress himself? Let us say that the Prince-Doctor does not handle this well.
