Just after Erik has decided to stay, the telepath somewhat inadvertently gave him a few reasons to flee. If not for Erik's determination to solve the puzzle that was Charles Xavier, he would have already had.

Summary
"Each one shifts and weakens a little,
Neither aware just how much they are brittle;
Each one shifts and weakens a bit,
Allowing the other to live and exist."
Erik's mind wasn't a malicious thing. It was strong, stronger still in all its darkness and what little light that has survived, fighting with every last breath to never allow itself to perish. The ghouls feasted on the cracks where the wounds won't heal, but there is lush growth too, flowers on unmarked graves.Charles floated atop a field of corpses, with some of them of people this man never wanted to forget, and that love was red as the blood they shed; a love as vibrant as the petals of a rose worthy of the thorns that guard it.

Summary
An aspiring doctor, the seventeen-year old Ishimaru Fushimi accidentally summons a powerful servant for the Holy Grail War because of a 'trinket'. She is immediately at odds with him, given their obvious contrast in personalities.
The discomfort soon transforms into reluctant trust once she realizes that he might help uncover more about her family lineage, most of which still remains a secret to her.
But the caster-king isn't exactly easy to please. In fact, he isn't impressed with the young girl.
Will kinship ever bloom between them? Would she risk it all for that?

Summary
Since she was only the second daughter of the prestigious mage lineage of the Tohsakas, Sakura could never inherit her family's craft, so she was sent away to train with the Matou family instead. It turned out that its patriarch had more unconventional means to bring out her potentials. Yet in spite of suffering maltreatment and cruelty all her life, Sakura remained shockingly endurable.
Meanwhile, Kirei Kotomine (now official overseer for the Holy Grail Wars) initially became intrigued with her until he decided that he should put her qualities to the test, while the recently incarnated heroic spirit of legend, Gilgamesh, lends him a hand.
An AU set somewhere between Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel routes where Sakura develops a disturbing friendship with both men, which made her take herself apart, only to discover another way to be whole again.

Summary
Bombay crime lord Ganesh Gaitonde tries to celebrate his wife's death anniversary twelve years after she was slain. He meets a courtesan whose enigma should be enough to keep him occupied. This courtesan is no other than Ishtar of Sumer, who tried to delay her irrelevance as a god by migrating to the Hindus Valley where she then adapted an Indian persona.
Meanwhile, decades into the future while finally settled in America, she was approached by another fallen deity who has escaped an abusive marriage for the price of complete anonymity.
Old and New gods try to co-exist in America, although the New seek more to tilt the scales into their favor by employing those who have more to gain through self-interest than fulfilling obligation to their divine kith. Such was the case with humanity's forgotten hero, Gilgamesh.
In Los Angeles, an ex-convict Shadow Moon finds himself in the company of a Mumbai-based mafia and even thrown into the quarrels of their criminal outfit, all while something otherworldly is at work.
These lives become entangled; the threads of which knitted by Desire, Despair, and Delirium.
Only Death could unravel them.

Summary
Being a vampire is a misfortune. Somewhere in the quaint city of 'Vellington', three live-in bachelors (and one ancient creature of terrifying myth) still managed to make the most of it together.
Neither Deacon nor Vladislav would admit, however, that at some point in their half a millennium flatting situation, they each fell in love with Viago a little. In all those long centuries, his consistent goal to find beauty in anything—particularly with the grimier and brutal parts about being a vampire—was quite inspiring.
Things have become a comfortable routine for all flatmates until they were summoned to Staten Island to preside over a trial whose persons of interest inconveniently happened to be acquaintances from the distant past. Unlife for everyone involved just got more complicated.
Throw in a newly turned werewolf, a lovely senior citizen by the name of Katherine, and a questioning vampire hunter loyal to his would-be sire, and certain relationships will emerge in the most unlikely ways, just as often as love persists to be a mystery.
And Viago seems to be the only one invested enough to solve it.

Summary
Rin was eight years old. Her father was a great mage who had taken in an apprentice named Kirei. She knew what he was, though her young mind could not articulate it.
A Tohsaka must be decisive, and on that day she's decided that she will never ever accept him.
(These are some snapshots of grief and sins in Rin's life throughout the years as she grew up without being raised, and all while Kirei was but this constant shadow lurking on the edges.)

Summary
After losing his wife of two years to an incurable disease that slowly withered her body, Kirei joins a support group facilitated by a kind and beautiful woman named Irisviel Von Einzbern. There he meets a most enigmatic man who acts as if he knows Kirei more than himself. The trouble is...the other man might be right.
A modern AU where Kirei and Gilgamesh develop a very peculiar friendship that is far more harmful than helpful to their mental health. Once again written in switching second-person POVs

Summary
Kimihiro Watanuki has found some semblance of normalcy in a life already chaotic to begin with when he meets Yuuko Ichihara, a shopkeeper for a wish-granting store, who begins helping him deal with his gift of the paranormal sight. He is also crushing on a girl named Himawari Kunogi who still hesitates to let him in because of her fear that she could endanger his life due to her irredeemable curse. She is close friends with a boy named Shizuka Doumeki whom Watanuki grows to trust and establish a kinship with after said boy has proven himself loyal when he saved his life twice.
It was only later on when this friendship begins to blossom into something more, and Watanuki now has to deal with the fact that his first friend may very well become his first love. Dealing with the paranormal is frightening enough, but liking another boy is something else more complicated, as both of them will soon find out. Loosely based on the character interpretations of the Japanese live-action show, this is a story about two dorky boys figuring out each other--one fumbling tackle, rough housing headlock, and tentative kiss at a time.

Summary
For too long he had capitulated his vile compulsions to the claustrophobic cords of his faith, but the attempt was a chicanery, for Kirei was always a wicked, conniving man who had clinically circumvented this singular truth since he’d been christened Catholic.

Summary
Carrion Cove had been under the stewardship of the Eisenhardts in the last six decades. It was nothing but a hollow sanctuary now, however, where only Magnus dwelt. His only daughter left Genoshan shores because she wanted to become a part of a society that isn’t defined by their gifts and uniqueness, unlike the mutantkind she belonged to.
Meanwhile, situated two hundred miles away was said city of Hammer Bay, where co-steward Simón Napolitano lived with his husband Frank and the seven children.
A chance encounter with a time-traveling Englishwoman would change the lives of these two men and their families.

Summary
A high-minded prince and a solitary king try to make sense of one another and the divergent paths in their lives that brought them together whilst they traverse an unknown wilderness that dares to unmake them.
Certain ideas and principles are inevitably tested, with the wires between past and present either brittle or taut, including fragile feelings for people who aren't there but whom they still hold dearly.

Summary
A mutant deemed as NOBODY is the prized property of the tyrant known as Mojo, who rules over Mojoworld where the collective epitome of mass consumerism and hedonism known as the Spineless Ones reside. In this mindless entertainment-soaked paradise, Nobody is a vassal in charge of 'Mojofornia', and he abducts artists, musicians, and thespians across the galaxies to serve as performers in this planet. He's cunning, ruthless, and determined to prove himself worthy as Mojo's Favored One, although certain decisions he's made have not entirely settled on his conscience.
In Earth's New York City, a vagabond who calls herself 'Constance Lovelace' is on the run from the trauma of tortured past, empowered only by the sheer will to survive and the gift of her undiscovered talent as a musician.
An unfortunate incident leads her to Mojoworld's Nobody. They clash when it comes to beliefs and choices, all while forced to co-exist with each other. Both will realize that there might be something more to their rivalry.

Summary
Before the encore, they trail backstage for last-minute wardrobe changes. A darkened corner welcomes each girl as well as two pairs of hands that were trained to unravel idols during intermission.
Shea’s dress is peeled off like an exoskeleton, leaving her back exposed towards Syla. The perspiration and glitter on the other girl’s skin almost causes her mouth to water, but Syla averts her gaze just in time before the knot on her gut becomes something deadlier.
The last dance on stage brings the girls’ bodies closer together yet still galaxies apart.

Summary
Heroes and villains with unique mutations, magic wielders, and even fallen gods have come together in a bar called Silk Cut, in which small conflicts lead ultimately to larger threats. Personalities would clash and push each other to do better or worse; bonds both benign and dangerous would be forged, while respective agendas are rarely revealed, for they are often muddled by vulnerabilities much harder to swallow than the strongest booze.
