    Summary

    After a dream startles him from his quiet solitude, Nico is left to stumble through the shambles. It seems only he had been aware of the impact somebody can leave in so many lives. It hurts. Every corner he turns, death smears his senses like a balm. And now, he must confront what he has been denying. 

    He's dead, Nico.”

    He nods. “I know.”

    Her golden eyes water up again. She spits it out like a venom, “He's dead, Nico.

    “I know.” It comes out hard this time.

    I don't care too much about the pairing, but oh this prose is phenomenal. I'll forever nurse the wound of knowing I'll never be able to write like this.

    Summary

    Altea is a world of dragons, magic, and, until recently, war.

    It's also entirely fictional.

    When Lance put on his VR headset, he fully expected everything he experienced from that point on to be false.

    But his feelings for the kill-stealing jerk in red armor couldn't be more real.

    Summary

    Seven fifty a month. Average rent for a one-bedroom in downtown Berk runs about eleven hundred a month if you don’t want to live above a club or a subway station or dog kennel, which Astrid doesn’t, so she’s willing to deal with a lot for this seven fifty a month. But a lot, even as a vague concept, still has boundaries. Boundaries that loom ever closer with every kitchen cabinet she opens to find bare and empty space instead of bed bugs or black mold or a secretly cemented in shrine to Tom Brady or Cthulhu.

    The closet isn’t a walk-in, but it’s clean, and the landlord will let her set her own rent schedule. Hell, it’s quiet because neighbors both up and downstairs are renting on airbnb from out of state, so she basically has this whole side of the building to herself. Most of her few boxes are almost fully unpacked when she finally starts to come around to the idea that sometimes when things seem too good to be true, it might just be because they are that good.

    And that’s when the bright red laser dot appears on the light fixture on the kitchen ceiling.

    One of the reasons I finally caved in to make an ao3 account is so that I could bookmark this work. I love it. I am hit with the urge to reread it frequently. It is, by all accounts, a masterpiece.
