    Summary

    The first time Akemi Homura meets Kaname Madoka, it feels as if time stops with the way colors burst forth in her vision, assaulting her senses with an experience she never could've fathomed. A month later Akemi Homura sells her soul in a grayscale world that was full of life and color just minutes before.

    The second time Akemi Homura meets Kaname Madoka, she runs up and promises to help Madoka, even as her eyes strain with getting used to color again. Her eyes only get a month to appreciate the feeling before her vision bleeds back to grayscale.

    The third time, Akemi Homura is less excitable, more reserved. Her colors fade a month later as she pulls the trigger.

    On the ninth loop, Akemi Homura wakes up to see her hospital room bathed in color and a tattoo on her wrist.

    Summary

    Bill Cipher has not been doing well in theraprism.

    In fact, he's made such little progress that The Axolotl is no longer sure if he can be redeemed.

    Bill is given one last chance: return to Gravity Falls to make amends with the Pines family and prove he can change or be permanently erased from the fabric of the universe.
    He jumps at the opportunity, confident he can find a way out of his agreement, but with the Pines keeping so close an eye on him, will he succeed? Or will his new human condition bring about a change of heart he hadn't anticipated?

    Alternatively:
    The Pines try to teach a trillion year old dream demon about love and empathy.

    As of right now, I’m updating this every other Sunday. If you want to know about any delays, early updates, or to come interact and check out some cool fanart, you can find me here!

    Summary

    “My humble apologies, Imperator,” Hysilens says, her voice rasping unpleasantly—still so unaccustomed to the human tongue. She clears her throat, pressing a hand to her chest. “To see that fish in the blackness where the sun’s rays dare not shine… it is as a star; radiant in the depths of the sea. Not unlike your blazing light, which guided me to shore.”

    Cerydra takes a long sip of her glass, only to fall silent. Golden ichor drips from the corner of her mouth, and Hysilens resists the urge to reach out, and…

    “Were you truly so allured?” Cerydra murmurs, shattering the silent moment almost off-handedly—which is strange—no action of the Imperator's is impromptu in the slightest. She is an angler, a chessmaster. She is patient, composed, and she does not err lightly.

    But Cerydra blinks as she looks to Hysilens, as if she too is struck with momentary surprise at her own tongue. Her breath is sweet, and warm against her siren’s scales. And Hysilens nods.

    “Yes,” she whispers, for none but her light to hear. “I was.”


    "Twist the knife, Helektra."
