Summary
Calliope Mondegrene has always felt like a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.
Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.

flame, and other means of consumption by talionprinciple (Triskai)
Fandoms: Armored Core (Video Games)

Summary
There's a hollow clanging as Uncle's boots ring across the metal catwalk. Rusty sets down his tools in resignation, bracing himself for a verbal lashing. But Uncle's lecture never comes.
"You're a grown man now, Rusty. And even more bull-headed than before." There's the soft click of a lighter, and a pause as Uncle takes a drag. He sighs. "Truth is, I can't stop you from mounting an ill-advised rescue. But you have to remember what you're fighting for. It's more than one person that needs you; it's all of us."
"If the choice is you or them, you must always choose yourself."

Summary
After breaking the corporate chokehold on Rubicon and preventing a catastrophe, Raven vanished into thin air. Nobody knows where the merc, who had been crowned "the Liberator" by the RLF, disappeared to, or whether she's even alive.
Meanwhile, Rusty wakes up from a coma one month after the Fall of Xylem. Hailed as the Hero of Xylem, he has no memories of how he survived the inferno. All he knows is that he needs to find Raven no matter what.

Summary
Raven was a wildcard. Ever since their first appearance on Rubicon, they'd been acing one mission after another. It was almost amusing to watch a nobody outclass some of the top corp pilots with ease. Rusty knew that it was always a good idea to be on good terms with someone like them. A friendly message here, a nice chat there. It wasn't hard to win over someone who was so starved for kindness.
Little did he know that he was playing with fire.

Summary
Before reawakening, 621 remembers the first time they asked Rusty if there would ever be peace on Rubicon. He looked so tired, and turned away as he sighed. "Buddy. We keep doing what we can, but... I don't think Rubicon will be peaceful anytime soon. Not in a thousand years. Heh... maybe in two-thousand though."
And 621 remembered thinking to themself, [Approximately 1,760 years remaining]

Summary
C4-621 relearns what it means to be human a little bit at a time, but not quite in the usual order. Follows the same general strokes as the game, with divergences that will slowly build up.
Assumes knowledge of the full game (including NG++), so obviously spoilers if you haven't finished it.

Summary
“I’m not here to kill you, buddy.”
Slowly, Rusty crouched down.
“I’m here to capture you, before Arquebus does.”
or;
C4-621 manages to escape Institute City on his own after V.II Snail's failed ambush, but with Handler Walter no longer in contact with him and Balam essentially destroyed, C4-621's only ally is the disembodied Ayre.
Well, until the RLF swoop in, but that's its own awkward can of worms.

Summary
After her adventure (read; shitshow that was fixing a deeply fucked up world) on Gor, Systlin Stellas is HOPING that the bitch of a goddess who wants her to take up godhood herself will let her go home.
She is wrong. But hey, this world has DRAGONS. Those are pretty cool at least. Even if there are still lots of deeply horrible people to deal with. A sequel to Lightning from a Clear Sky. Working on this is a nice palate cleanser from the deeply shit world of Gor.Series

Summary
Sara is excited to finally escape her droll, awful life in South Georgia and go off to college, where she can reset and be the person her small town always denied her the ability to be. She had her whole life neatly planned out, and with her parents' help and connections, the resources she needed to execute it. If she was lucky, she'd even snag a boyfriend from a good family and get a head start on some of the parts of her plan she had less control over.
But then she meets Ash, beautiful, butch, and unapologetically queer Ash, who seems intent on proving that Sara's plan is never going to work. That Sara isn't the person she thinks she is.
Sara would be smart to stay away, but she was never good at backing down from a challenge.

The Friendly Necromancer by Sengachi
Fandoms: Pocket Monsters | Pokemon - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
Banette is a pokemon that exists to give meaning to abandoned and discarded things. They evolve from their first form, the ghostly Shuppet, by possessing abandoned dolls. But when an ill-treated boy dies alone, a friendly Shuppet he named Diya takes it upon itself to give his life meaning. Diya possesses and revives his body, becoming a Banette, and sets out to make the boy's dream of becoming a pokemon trainer come true.
Along the way Diya makes friends, fights some pokemon, finds a deep and abiding love of scarves, blurs the line between living and dead, accidentally becomes a necromancer, and to everyone's surprise even finds the time to accomplish its original goal and catch a pokemon or three.
This lovely fanart is by Large_Egg, posted on their account here. Go give them a comment if you like it!Series

Summary
When two individuals explode out of the heart tree at Winterfell, the Bolton's think it's a blessing from the gods. It certainly is a change in their fortunes. Sansa expected to die the day the Bolton's did after their guest made the ground shake with her fury. Only she didn't, and now she is nominally the one in charge. With no army, no support outside of those men who saw an angry god and decided not to help their liege Lord, and said god is now her terrifying guest.
Daisy would like to stop being mistaken for a god, and also reiterate flaying innocent people alive is not an acceptable practice. It would help if Fitz would wake up already because she's clearly not going to be able to get them out of the medieval hellscape they're now trapped in. Although Fitz wouldn't be her first choice of companion to be stranded with. And magic ice zombies, because of course there's magic ice zombies.
