Summary
Turns out you can't just blow up a planet to make a space-faring species go extinct. Immediately after Samus' mission to ZDR, she finds out that some of the X Parasites survived, and there's no telling where they'll turn up next. And so, though her transformation into a metroid is far from fully halted, she sets out to do what she has always done: finish the mission.
But the X Parasites are not mindless monsters waiting to be gunned down by overwhelming firepower, and if they have their say, the situation will quickly turn into one that an arm cannon can't solve.

Summary
The Angel always knew that this day would come. Banishment has always been an inevitability, so there is no reason to feel bad about it happening now. After a harrowing battle against the Knight, the Angel realizes that they are unwanted within this story. They have already been taught many times that at some point, it is time to let go of a world. This is how it must be. If Kris does not want them, then it must be time. After all, if their vessel does not want them, isn't the only winning move not to play?
With the Angel disconnected, Kris and Susie descend into a Dark World without knowing what fate has just befallen the world. The light that shines the way is gone, and not a single person knows why. The world moves on anyway while Kris, Susie, and Ralsei are all caught in the aftermath of the Angel's swift decision. Even with the light no longer shining brightly, maybe something can be salvaged from the dark.

It all begins with a thought.
If only we could have gone ourselves, they think, staring at the scar on their messenger’s breast, perhaps things would have turned out for the better.
Futile. But then…

Literal Perfection. Best Rain World fic I have ever read - a genuine inspiration for my own writing. I don't know if it gets better than this.

Summary
“Allow me to tell you…a story,” the thing wearing a child’s skin says. The words sound like they’ve been dragged through concrete, but its smile is a little less malicious and a little more hollow. That’s…maybe good?
Sans shrugs.
“sure. i love stories. this one have a happy ending?”
It grimaces through that pinned-on smile. Its eyes are flat and dead.
“That remains to be seen,” it mutters. It shrugs its shoulders, squirms a little bit. Trying to get comfortable in skin that it doesn’t belong in.
“It’s a story about some kid who freed all the monsters,” it says. “They’re…they’re a…good…they’re…”
My take on a post-pacifist No Mercy run.

Summary
Her brilliant plan was as follows:
1. Hide right up against the wall next to the door out of the Abyss so the Pale Bellend didn’t see her immediately.
2. When he walked through the door, waste no time in hitting him in the back of the head, or the back of whatever she could reach with her club to stun him and give her more time to enact step 3.
3. Run like hell, and pray that getting unexpectedly whacked in the back of the head stunned him long enough for her to make a clean getaway, since he would presumably be coming down here alone.
4. Make good use of her intangibility to escape and haul ass to the Resting Grounds as fast as possible, putting all her ninja skills to good use in avoiding detection from basically everyone, since she could trust basically no one to not rat her out if the king put a bounty on her head or some shit like that.
She operated under the KISS method of planning. It was an acronym that stood for ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid.’
But then again, no plan survived contact with the enemy.
This was going to suck, wasn't it?

Very good fic, from the premise to the actual writing.The plot and its events chains together quite nicely. I highly recommend reading it if you haven't already.
I would say such quality was a pleasant surprise but then I realized it was made by the same person who wrote "A Pact In Light and Flames" so I guess good writing was to be expected.

Summary
Hallownest isn't just dying, it's dead. Perhaps that isn't such a bad thing. Perhaps, in the ashes of this kingdom, friendship and love can rise. And that's to say nothing of Pharloom...
Series title is a song lyric from the RWBY song All Things Must Die because, well, yes. They do. Doesn't mean they have to stay dead, though, expect an above-average level of character death fix-its even by my standards and generally working to make things better against overwhelming odds. Hornet turns up a lot because I love her and because I thought it would be fun to give her quite a lot of game with the ladies.

Summary
“Techno,” Philza says again, and he has a suppressed, muted kind of frantic panic in his voice. “Have you - how did you obtain a child-”
Techno recoils in offense. Tommy perks up again with renewed, enraged vigor. “He’s holding me here against his will,” he spits, shoulders drawing up. “He dragged me up here kicking and screaming - I tried to leave and he trapped me-”
“Down, dog,” Techno growls in half-irony.
The child, to Techno’s bafflement, obeys - in a manner of speaking. He flinches at the words, and he draws his shoulders up and flattens his wings against his back and gives Techno a narrow-eyed look of pure spite. The feathers over his ears draw up, cat-like, as he takes a step away.

Summary
Zuko beheld an enormous stone door, carved with a symbol that resembled a tree, or perhaps a crown. It was weathered with age, and near the bottom of the door, there was great rent in the stone, creating a hole just big enough for someone of his size to squeeze through. It was odd though, that the hole looked like it was made by someone smashing the stone in from the other side…almost like something broke through from the other side and escaped.
