    Summary

    He isn’t a schoolboy prone to crushes; he’s bedded more than his fair share of women, a man closer to forty than thirty, and twice as rich as any other man living a hundred miles in either direction. A man of leisure and an artist, others call him; he’s produced relatively few paintings, but he's generated enough interest with his masterly treatment and use of shadows to be considered moderately famous and well-recognized in both East and West Ravka. Enough, anyway, to ensure he would not leave his family destitute upon his death, unlike his lecherous father.

    He cannot entertain why his eyes seek out her form when she enters the room, only that it does without fail. Enough so that even his mother notices.

    “Careful, boy,” Baghra chides, a wallop once to the knee with her cane. “Don’t become that much of a rake, chasing after the help.”

    Summary

    The first time Alina goes into the Fold and comes out as the Sun Summoner, she dies. The Druskelle succeed in ambushing the entourage and killing her on the way to the Little Palace. Then she wakes up in the barracks again, the morning of the crossing. There's Alexei on his cot, totally fine. No one is looking at her or for her... no one knows she is the Sun Summoner. She is free again.
    But she knows what's going to happen and she can't let her friends die. With one endless day that she can't escape, Alina's goals grow and grow, until she wants nothing less than to discover the Darkling's secrets, change the timeline, and save Ravka. All in a day's work.

    Summary

    In which Sasuke uses Orchimaru's 'timetravel?' jutsu and it ends up slingshotting them sideways instead of backwards.

    Sasuke genuinely thought that no family could ever beat his own for being so thoroughly fucked up, but it seems like these Targaryen fellows are willing to give the Uchiha Clan a run for their money. Lucky them, Naruto's goal of breaking the cycle of hatred extends to other universes as well.

    No, it doesn't matter what the locals want. Naruto knows best.

    Summary

    AU where Lucy Gray and Snow run off together and make it to District 13. Snow is still his power hungry, ambitious self, but going back to the Capitol is not an option anymore. Especially once he realizes the truth about District 13 and what happened to his family fortune. Still, President of Panem is his goal - it just may take a little longer and the help of some swamp potato to get there. 50% Coryo and Lucy Gray live happily ever after and 50% Snow rises to power / the Hunger Games through a capitalist and military industrial complex lens. Katniss/Peeta don't show up until much later.

    Summary

    Coriolanus’s heart was pounding in his chest as he knelt beside the motionless body. He placed two hands centered on her chest, his shoulders directly over his hands, and started silently counting the chest compressions.

    The night air bit into his drenched clothes and he looked up at Lucy Gray, his eyes conveying an unspoken vow to shield her from the storm that was sure to follow.

    ”Go. Please trust me Lucy Gray.”

    ”Help her.”

    “I am trying. Go.”

    The night they were meant to begin their lives was the night when their carefully crafted plans came crashing down. Lies were told, a life was tragically cut short, a future ended, and young love was shattered. Years later, on the anniversary of that tragic night, Coriolanus Snow is well on his way to gaining all the power and success he has always desired when an unexpected turn brings him back to the one who got away — the elusive Lucy Gray.

    Summary

    Sejanus. She must have figured out that Sejanus was the third person Coriolanus had killed.

    She wouldn’t have known the particulars, but surely she could have pieced it all together. Still, to think he’d kill her? After everything they’d been through? He looked down at the loaded gun in his hands. Maybe he should have left it in the shed. It's as if he was hunting her.

    He thought about the knife and how it paled in comparison to the weapon he was carrying.
    What are you doing, Coriolanus? Something inside of him asks, and then demands. Put it down.

    He does.

    Summary

    A long known tale persists within the Covey, passed down through generations until it is nothing more than a legend. It is a tale of connection, an unbreakable bond that is meant to change destiny, alter fate.

    Coriolanus Snow knows not of any of this. All he knows is that, for as long as he can remember, his dreams are not only his own.

    Summary

    “I’m on a pilgrimage!” Alina said. “It’s just… it’s what we do! All the eldest and most staid of my sisters have done it. We get restless, and we know it’s time to fall, so we come down here and we find the thing that completes us, whatever we lack that has left us feeling so out of sorts. A purpose. And I came down here, and everyone immediately seemed so certain of my purpose, of what I could do, and who I came here for. You all handed me the instructions on your doorstep. So I thought it would be easy!"

    --

    Alina isn't a Sun Summoner, but a fallen star. The only problem is, no one knows that fallen stars are a thing that exist - least of all the Black Heretic.

    Summary

    Somewhere out there in the multiverse, there’s a reality in which the characters from your favorite video game are real people, living real lives. And you’re now in their very real world, with an even more real tadpole in your skull.

    Whether it was by lightning strike, a rip in space-time, or a hard blow to the head, you find yourself on Earth one day, and trapped in a pod on the Nautiloid the next. What follows is the most profoundly horrifying, exhilarating, mind-bending adventure of your life.

    ~

    When Astarion quips that you “clearly move in different circles” he has no idea how spot-on he is.

     

    In which you aren’t really from the outer edges of Baldur’s Gate, or even the same dimension.

    A love story for the survivors.

    Astarion has been a captive for two centuries- only to find himself free, but on the hunt for a cure to a new and deadly monster within him. When he finds himself stranded amongst the wreckage of the ship that abducted him, he finds himself face to face with an archer who could prove to be his best chance at survival. Or his worst nightmare. Or a little bit of both.

    A group of strangers bound together by a dark experience must take Faerun by storm in order to survive. Astarion must risk everything to live again- to decide who he will be when the sun rises.

    What will he discover about who he is, who he was, and who he will become along the way?

    Summary

    After her death, she never expected to be reborn. Especially in the Dune universe. She wanted to exist without meaning, to finally achieve a modicum of peace. Entrusted with a task, newly named Nashira must figure out her destiny and change the Path, change the One. As if that is so fucking obvious.

    No. She is going to live as obscurely as she can, as minimal as she can.

    Destiny and Fate can go fuck themselves.
