    Summary

    ART paused. Then it said: You think about dying a lot.
    My risk assessment module went into overdrive. What the fuck? What’s that supposed to mean?
    Just statistically, ART said, like that explained anything.

    Summary

    Even among trashy harem power fantasy novels, Proud Immortal Demon Way took the cake for having its protagonist literally objectify people—that is, as a Heavenly Demon, Luo Binghe had the power of turning people into weapons, willingly or otherwise! Either way, they disappeared into an innumerable collection headlined by Xin Mo, the blade Luo Binghe made out of his scum villain shizun Shen Qingqiu, and that he brutally dominated until its spirit faded into nothing.

    When Shen Yuan unwillingly takes on the role of Shen Qingqiu—well, maybe he can’t avoid his ultimate fate as a sword, but he can still try to make it a little less painful for everyone involved.

    Probably.

    Summary

    Danny's English tutor and new college friend is really really strange, but he's not complaining, just a little curious. He can't say the same about his vigilante family.

    (Or: Danny has long since joined the Batfam and is going back to school for his degree, and it just happens that his strange new friend is clearly adoption bait)

    A semi-linear series of chapters that resulted from me tossing my OC into Gotham City.

    Summary

    Xie Lian's last believer is so fervently devoted to him that he seems to think mostly in the form of prayer. That is a terrifying prospect. Xie Lian has never heard of such a case before, not even in hypotheticals, and he finds himself hoping, for his believer's sake, that there is some other explanation for this phenomenon.

    Whatever the reason, a low stream of his believer's thoughts hum in the back of Xie Lian's consciousness.

    His believer does not seem to be aware of it.

    _

    When Xie Lian ascends for the third time, he is welcomed back to godhood with prayers that he hadn't expected: an ongoing stream of thought from his sole remaining believer. He gathers quickly that this believer is very old, very powerful, and very, very much in love with him.

    For his believer's sake, Xie Lian can cast a spell to shut the prayers out—but only if he has access to spiritual energy.

    Summary

    When you're exposed to the weather, do you become copper, or canyon?

    Canyons stand great and mighty, jagged rock and stone that is slowly carved and ebbed away with time and water, until a trickle becomes a roar, a stream becomes a river. But in the end, under great force like Atlas holding the sky, they still erode. Crumbling more and more until a great chasm spans out between them, and what it once was is only recognizable in its shadow.

    Copper changes color. Over time it fades, exposed to wind and rain, to air, until it's nothing more than a dull, soft green. Recognizable in its shape still, but undeniably changed. You could restore it, but in doing so you risk stripping it of it's original detail.

    What does Shen Yuan do when faced against the current; when faced against the elements? Is he copper, dulling over time, but retaining his shape. Or is he canyon, slowly being chipped away with more and more pressure, until a crack becomes a chasm? To erode, to stand tall?

    Let me try that again:

    Shen Yuan wakes up in a woodshed.

    He's in a body that is not his own - he thinks.

    Summary

    Alina Oretsev owns a bookshop in a neighborhood in Os Alta that is escaping gentrification by the skin of its teeth and the sweat of its most notorious occupants, the Dregs. There are plenty of reasons why the secret police might be interested in Mrs. Oretsev’s shop, and none of them (thank the Saints) have anything to do with the fact that she occasionally glows in the dark.

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

    Summary

    Martin gnaws his lower lip. “Do you think he’ll - I mean, do you think it’ll be…”

    Melanie's smile becomes a little less of a grimace. She claps his shoulder. “Martin. It’ll be fine. It’s only temporary. He’s not moving in.”

    Martin chuckles. “Yes. Of course.”

    Summary

    It was completely fine that Jon was following up on this very normal, non-supernatural statement at midnight on a Friday. He was going to find nothing at all, and then he was going to go home and sleep for fourteen straight hours and feel absolutely no qualms about moving case #0150409 directly into the filing cabinet marked "discredited."

    Or: Jon and Martin investigate Carlos Vittery's basement and find the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss together.

    Summary

    Shouta’s plan had been ill-defined and desperate from the start, but he figures the important shit boiled down to, “Change as little as possible, make sure Midoriya doesn’t get himself killed, and stock up on lychee jelly pouches because that flavor got discontinued three years from now.” Keeping it simple’s always better, and he’s normally good at improvising.

    Somewhere along the way, he must’ve fucked up since now he has:

    A quirkless problem child hanging off of his every word

    His best friend going through a sexuality crisis thanks to said problem child’s mom

    His other best friend clinging to him like a security blanket

    Some two-bit mob boss threatening him with bouquets of daffodils

    To wring the number one hero’s fucking neck for not telling him anything useful before sending him decades into the past

    All he did was walk Izuku Midoriya home. It wasn’t meant to turn into whatever mess this is.

    Summary

    Whatever he had predicted might happen, Jon wasn't expecting to survive upon demolishing the Panopticon. He certainly wasn't expecting to be rescued.

    Instead, he wakes up in an alternative universe where he's never been the Archivist, and Martin Blackwood doesn't exist.

    Martin Blackwood wakes up somewhere else entirely.

    Summary

    Martin had always been favored by the summer courts, and moving up north to the little village of Lacuna is a difficult adjustment. It's rainy and lonely and everyone seems to have a strange, distant relationship with the local faerie court.

    However: there is a strange man in a cloak who walks past Martin's remote little cottage every few days.

    However: there is a moth that keeps getting stuck in Martin's house during the rain.

    These events are not as disconnected as they first appear.
