so I open the window to hear sounds of people by oriflamme

Summary
"You know I had to do it to them," John mumbles.
He misses the beach. The real beach. The current one is mostly soil with a lacy veneer of nuclear ash, clammy and streaky and hilariously radioactive, which is a real bummer when he thinks about it too hard. But the twenty-five meter sea level rise that came when all the freshwater ice finished melting around the mid-century mark ate away at the shoreline, rolled in between the skyscrapers on a new tide, swallowed up all the people who couldn't afford to move anywhere else. Have you seen the rent rates lately?
And then John accidentally'd the entire nuclear stockpile of the planet Earth.

Summary
When uptight programmer John Irving moves into a dilapidated London flat with his best friends, he's just happy to be paying below market rate for rent. However, he'd failed to account for a few unexpected elements. Such as Ned's obnoxious childhood friend, Solomon Tozer, crashing on the sofa indefinitely. And, of course, the ghost of a long-dead madman named Cornelius Hickey, who's bent on making John's life a living hell...

Summary
He had opted for the old bike in the garage over a car for one simple reason: he did not know how to drive. Getting a taxi may have been the next logical step forward, but none were available until three hours later. To wait until the taxi firms opened for business would have been to delay his decision, which would have been it's own decision. He had not come to a suitable conclusion about the whole Champmathieu affair; he didn't know where he was going or to what end. He would, in all likelihood, end up in Arras, for he felt compelled to travel in that direction, but what he would do when he got there was unknown to him.
***
A modernisation of Les Miserables Volume 1, Book 7, Chapter 5, 'Hindrances': Jean Valjean travels to Arras but encounters many obstacles along the way- including a flat tyre, a horrendous traffic jam, and a broken down bus.

Statement of Jean Valjean, Regarding "Forms Assumed by Suffering During Sleep." Original Statement Given March 26, 1823. Audio Recording by Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London by Secretmellowblog

Summary
In the chapter of Les Miserables titled "Forms Assumed by Suffering During Sleep," Jean Valjean writes a first person account of a surreal nightmare where he describes being buried alive in a town full of horrifying faceless people. It feels EXACTLY like an episode of the Magnus Archives.
So I have added a few introductory and ending paragraphs to reimagine the entire chapter as a Magnus Archives episode. You will enjoy this fic if you are a nerd.

ruby's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad road trip by IsolatedPhenomenon for haunthouse

Summary
“So…is this the great road trip you were envisioning for us, Ruby?” Klaasje calls above the noise.
When you glance over to her, she has a cigarette lit and hidden from the wind by a cupped hand. Her hair is flapping just like yours, tumbling over her cheekbones and across the seat back in writhing golden ribbons. Her smile is barely visible.
You snort. “Well, the kid’s a surprise.”

Padawan's Return by AhsokaTheBrave
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
04 Dec 2024

Summary
After years of fighting the Empire and trying not to lose all hope, Ahsoka Tano is thrown back in time to the invasion of Naboo. Now it seems like she’s the only one who can save the galaxy, and she’ll do it or die trying.
She may be disoriented, but this stagnant, not-yet-war-torn galaxy isn’t ready for her, either. What happens when Ahsoka—veteran soldier, Purge survivor, rebel agent—appears and starts tearing through a thousand years of corruption and Sith schemes?
Everything changes.
Now somehow the immensely adorable nine-year-old Anakin is her apprentice, and he’s not even her only apprentice. Maul is obsessed with her. She’s giving the Jedi Order a rude awakening. There might be a chance to stop Dooku from becoming a Sith. The Republic is falling apart in an entirely unfamiliar way. And that’s just the beginning.
Whether or not all this change will be a good thing remains to be seen.
And there’s one thing Ahsoka cannot let happen: Darth Vader. She doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, but she does know that she’s going to find the unstoppable monster who terrorized the galaxy once, and she’s going to kill him.

Summary
It was completely fine that Jon was following up on this very normal, non-supernatural statement at midnight on a Friday. He was going to find nothing at all, and then he was going to go home and sleep for fourteen straight hours and feel absolutely no qualms about moving case #0150409 directly into the filing cabinet marked "discredited."
Or: Jon and Martin investigate Carlos Vittery's basement and find the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss together.

Even Monarchies Have Their Endings by Secretmellowblog
Fandoms: The Hobbit (Jackson Movies), The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, Retelling The Hobbit (webcomic)
06 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
“It is simply the nature of all kings to kill, plunder, and hoard wealth— in the same way it is the nature of dragons,” Bilbo said.
Bilbo Baggins has lived all his life in The Shire, where leaders are democratically elected. He has never met a king before. Royal families have always been nothing more than characters in stories from far away.
But after meeting several haughty warlike kings on the Quest for Erebor, Bilbo finally realizes why the Shire has no monarchy — it is a ridiculous horrible form of government and no one with any hobbit-sense would ever agree to it.
Following the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo explains representational democracy to King Thorin Oakenshield. Overwhelmed by the hobbit’s wisdom, Thorin impulsively converts Erebor into a democratic republic and retires from public life.
But what will happen when Bilbo and Thorin’s actions set off a wave of anti-monarchical democratic revolutions across Middle Earth? Will they ever be allowed to live in peace?
(A book/movie tragicomedy about the struggles of searching for an ending where “they all live happily ever after to the end of their days.” Don't take this too seriously XD.)

Summary
“I’ll go.” He says it without brashness or deference. Just a statement.
“Where?”
“You want to climb the Forty,” he says, and Enjolras can’t deny it. “I’ll go with you.”
