The Split River High Afterlife Support Group by StillTryingToFly
Fandoms: School Spirits (TV)

Summary
The Split River High Afterlife Support Group has been meeting since 1958, even if the two oldest members have been lying to all the others about it from the moment there was anyone else to lie to. I wondered what it was like for them, for all of them, and what better way to explore that than from Janet's point of view.
Also, why did they even bother adding those other three ghosts to the support group if they gave them zero lines and no names?

Summary
Nikandros would eventually come to the conclusion (the same conclusion his parents had reached some fifteen years earlier) that the only saving grace with his Words, was that they were in Veretian and he lived in Akielos where the number of people who could read Veretian was fairly small.

Summary
“But I’m--I’m just ordinary, how could I be dangerous?”
Ben gave an involuntary snort at that blatant lie. Ben had been given a front row seat to the Banana Incident of 1999, okay? Vanya had been plenty dangerous even when she had been “just ordinary”.Like most things that went horribly wrong in the Umbrella Academy it wasn’t the actions of one single person that caused everything to go to hell in a hand-basket; it was a group effort. But The Banana Incident of 1999 did start, as many disasters did, with Four.

How Four and Seven Learn To Love Themselves And Stop The Apocalypse by StillTryingToFly
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy (TV)
03 Mar 2020
Summary
A canon divergent AU where Hazel kidnaps both Klaus and Vanya after the fight at the Academy. Featuring torture, sibling bonding, time travel, and love in wartime; this is my self indulgent angst with a happy ending because I like to suffer but don't crush my soul you know?

People Mark Watney needs to buy a beer by StillTryingToFly

17 Jan 2016
Summary
Mark is back on Earth and ready to have drinks with the people who helped save his sorry ass. Told in no particular order and filled with head canons about minor and major characters alike, these are my self-indulgent "missing scences" from both the book and the movie.

Summary
Canada’s darling, Shane Hollander, is exhausted from being hockey’s perfect golden boy: controlled, closeted, chronically touch starved.
Behind an NDA and a no-phones policy in a discrete bar though, there is Rozanov, the handsome professional Dom who offers what he’s never had: permission to let go, and to be cherished as himself.

Summary
No matter how many times they meet and his eyes flicker with dim recognition, whether it’s at the dive bar on Beacon Street or the French cafe near TD Garden, she wonders which will happen first: Ilya Rozanov realizing she’s twins with the guy he’s been hooking up with since his rookie season, or that he’s in love with said guy.
Of course, she also feels the same curiosity every time Shane tells her he has to end it, only to fall right back into Rozanov’s lap.
Boys are so dumb, honestly. It’s a shame she’s quite fond of them both.

Summary
Little is known about Viserra Targaryen. She was the most beautiful of Queen Alysanne Targaryen's daughters, a vain, wild, and ambitious girl. When she was fifteen, her mother betrothed her to Lord Manderly, a man old enough to be her grandfather. No one was willing to speak against the match, so she tried to seduce her widowed brother, Baelon and gain her freedom. Unsuccessful and resigned to her fate, Viserra snuck out with her friends for one last night of laughter. On their way back, there was an accident, and the Princess fell from her horse and died.
Or: Viserra did not die that night, and instead, the Fourteen Flames showed her the horrors of the future. Forewarned, she will stop at nothing to protect those she loves.
