Summary
September, 1999. New York.
A lonely greenhouse.
A quiet dojo.
A windless fountain in an abandoned shopping mall.A masked figure tending to dead vines.
A weeping statue left to rot in candlelight.
A dojo mat stained with age, not blood.Amidst the restless shuffle of early-morning New Yorkers—feet pounding concrete before the sun has fully roused from its slumber—a flicker of blue flame seeps from a crack in the soil.
Not a violent blaze. Not yet.
Just a whisper of heat, curling like incense smoke.A regal figure, seated on a throne of tin and copper.
A lonely child, alone in a graveyard.
A martial artist, bound by his master's final breath.The brilliant blue flame watches them all.
Powerless. Forgotten. Empty.It is not yet time to bring them peace.

Shoebill: Survivor, Escort, Friend. by ZenMode
Fandoms: けものフレンズ | Kemono Friends (Anime)
02 Jun 2025

Summary
In a post-apocalyptic world where the Celliens/Ceruleans have taken over the world, Friends and (the few remaining) Humans alike try their best to stave off the crushing dread of their dying world by huddling together in safe areas in the ruins of what once was a world they belonged to.
This fic explores themes of existential dread in a dead world, as well as survivor's guilt, depression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
It is a story of finding hope in what's broken.
Kemono Friends, after all, is all about the good things in life. If this fic was all angst and no comfort, it wouldn't truly be Kemono Friends.
The message of this story is "If you need a hero, just look in the mirror. Everyone's hurtning, but you can't give up. Hang on. The sun will come out. Nothing good ever comes easy. Flowers will bloom after the storm."
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY CANON-FRIENDLY.
Heavily inspired by the song "In Hell We Live, Lament" by Mili; and "Paradigm" by The Plot in You.

Pseudo-Lostbelt: Caerula Arbor by ZenMode
Fandoms: Fate/Grand Order, 明日方舟 | Arknights (Video Game)

Summary
At some point in time, between the sixth and seventh Lostbelt, Ritsuka Fujimaru had a series of dreams about a world nearly completely devastated by monstrosities that could not be defeated. These monsters came to be known as Seaborn. Nobody knows where they came from, other than someplace in the sea. The Seaborn would hunt and devour any living being in sight, like apex predators cursed with eternal hunger.
After all of his experiences with dreams, Ritsuka decided to take the initiative and talk to his peers. They (Mostly Holmes, Sion and Da Vinci) quickly found a pseudo-lostbelt taking place in Spain. For reasons unknown, this lostbelt, similar to Faerie Britain, rejected pan-human history. In fact, the only compatible servants were Foreigners. With a limited, dangerous and eccentric roster of allies, Ritsuka dives deep into the perilous shores of Iberia- I mean, Spain, in hopes of preventing more disasters from spreading.

Summary
You've spent quite a while farming events with Koyanskaya and Oberon, trying to keep the intrusive thoughts out of your head. After all the Lostbelts, you've been trying your best to hold your head up high, and honestly, you've been doing great. But sometimes, the nightmares show up so suddenly, you can't do anything but wake up, grasping your chest as you gasp for breath. In one of such nightmares, you vividly see every single moment of your journey where Koyanskaya made her presence known. You wake up with mixed feelings. There's some genuine vitriol, but also some positive feelings towards her. The same goes for Oberon. Even after all the two did, you simply don't feel like you have the right to condemn them.
You decide that you should confront the source of these conflicting emotions. You didn't sleep at all last night, but you head to Koyanskaya's room, drowning in sadness and irritation.
