Summary
Among the priceless treasures housed in the Palace of Alcazarzaray, there lies hidden an architect by the name of Kaveh, sworn upon his honour to repay a debt and unable to leave until he does.
Early one morning, neatly evading the line of sages and scholars clamouring outside his door, Alhaitham takes a walk to Lokapala Jungle.

Summary
Kaveh raises his hands, palms up. "I have nothing to give, Al-Haitham," he says, and the other's eyes grow fierce.
"You do not have nothing, Kaveh," Al-Haitham says roughly. "You may have buried yourself in your self-doubt, but you are relentless. You shine even when the moon takes governance of the sky."
Kaveh gapes at Al-Haitham. "So what I'm hearing," he says slowly, "is that you will not kick me out for the time being."
"What you're hearing is that I will wait for you," says Al-Haitham.
After all this time, Kaveh has yet to unpack his bags.

Summary
Fear is a knife’s edge. Fear is a killer. Fear is how you know you’re still alive.
Kaeya Alberich, not yet Ragnvindr, knew how to fear before he knew how to talk. As the heir to the regency of a dead kingdom, a spy-in-training to be sent to the surface world, as the last hope of Khaenri’ah – there were many things to fear.
And later, as the Cavalry Captain of Mondstadt and a traitor no matter what he chose, Kaeya Alberich ex-Ragnvindr knew that as long as he lived, he would be afraid.

Summary
”Diluc,” he complains. “My feet are cold.”
“Just a minute,” he responds, a little strained. “Look, and then you can put your shoes on.”
So Kaeya, far too amenable to the Ragnvindr heir’s will for his own good, lets Diluc position him how he wants at the window, and after he pulls back the curtain, he looks.
It’s the same view as it always is, Crepus’ garden in the yard, the land giving itself up to him in a way Kaeya is beginning to understand, vines snaking up trellises flanking the house and wealthy with leaves even in the winter, a hidden stone path to guide his and Diluc’s many adventures, and yet something about it is different—
Darker, without the cluttered tapestry of stars overhead to cast everything in divine light. Speckled, with the little white flakes that fall from the sky and melt into water droplets when they find a surface to rest on.
“What is it?” Kaeya asks, breathless.Two of Kaeya’s early experiences with snow and reflections on his family.

Summary
Four years ago, Kaeya chose Mondstadt over Khaenri'ah. He’d been so sure that it was the right one, when what little he knew of Khaenri’ah’s goals aligned with Mondstadt’s destruction — but Khaenri'ah will never forgive him for abandoning them, and the Abyss will not let him go.

Summary
There are too many things that need to be said, but none that either of them dare to voice aloud, because they've committed to this lie of a forgotten acquaintanceship.
All they are right now is a man that has returned from afar, and a knight that remembers him vaguely from the past.
If that's how Diluc wants to play this - well. Kaeya is nothing if not an excellent actor.
/
Or: Diluc returns to Mondstadt after four years, and Kaeya realizes how shaky the ground he stands on is.

Joshua says something Neku can't quite hear - everything else is loud, suddenly, things he never thought of as loud. Things that he hardly noticed - the undeniable hums and rhythms of the UG, the voices of the people even in the relative quiet of Udagawa - it's an undeniable call, a once more - would he ever be back to - his chest hurts, but this is a good thing, it’s time to go -

akira didn't think that his life was a mistake.
it's just... boring. a whole lot of boring. like a slightly-blurred photo - clear enough to tell what's happening, what's going on, but just blurry enough that everything doesn't seem all that real. all that tangible.

Summary
The odyssey of Rachel Gardner, who isn't actually as Quirkless as she once thought and has zero compunctions against using that to get what she wants.
Being stuck in Japan is a bit more of a hurdle than a death sentence and a high security institution, but she and Zack have dealt with steeper odds, she's pretty sure. Plus Ultra, as they say.
note: while the overall tone is intended to be humorous, this story will involve heavy themes of coming to terms with past abuse, maladaptive coping mechanisms, suicidal ideation, irresponsible divergence from medication schedules, depictions of gratuitous violence and gore, codependency withdrawal, and strong language, among others- Language:

“This is super cliche, actually.”
“I need you to shut up,” Hitoshi says.
“You think they have cameras? Like you know, Saw type of shit? Are they watching us?” the criminal squints at the ceiling corners, his handcuffs rattling as he shifts in his seat. “Oh my god, what if they’re live-streaming this to some sick fucks on the dark web or something?"
Detective Shinsou Hitoshi is trapped in a room with a criminal. One of them has to die.

Summary
“You believe this chakra-merging was an accident?”
“It would be far more intelligent to bond with someone who is aware of and has consented to the procedure, so I can only surmise they were unable to choose the target,” says Tobirama. “Assuming the other individual is not so hare-brained as to purposefully bind themselves to an unknown stranger, targeting me was most likely unintentional.”
Unfortunately for Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna is hare-brained enough to do exactly that.
----
The story of how Uchiha Izuna's outstanding idea to perform a forbidden technique eventually leads to the resolution of a centuries-long feud, from Tobirama's point of view. Readable on its own, but it is a counterpart to Wyrvel's Let the Devil In.

turn in such inhumanity by simkjrs
Naruto (Founders) -

Summary
Uchiha Izuna is desperate to keep up with his older brother, and he’s willing to fall back on forbidden jutsu to do it. A technique to boost his chakra reserves by merging his coils with a random ninja seems like just the right amount of risk in exchange for the reward.
Unfortunately, his new partner does not take kindly to being forced into this bond.

Summary
His eyes fell on the handle of the knife, still lying where he had dropped it. Half intact. Just enough to see the initials carved in the sloppy way of a child. Just enough to realize, somewhere deep behind the snarling in his chest, was a child who recognized them.
All you do is run.
So he ran, the legacy ripping free like skin torn from a too-fresh wound, losing its purchase even as he grew more afraid, because it was the act of a coward, to run. The desperate last act of a dying child who had once been called Ajax.
Maybe it was shame.
Maybe that was why he could never remember her face.the abyss needs an archon, and the abyss never forgets

Summary
Olympus has fallen.
The second Gigantomachy has ended far differently than the first, and in Gaea's triumph, the world has been torn apart. But the Fates have seen what ends their failed meddling have brought, look on at the dead—and undo what should never have happened the only way they possibly can.
Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, is returned to his twelve-year-old self, memories intact and determined to save everyone he can. But he is not alone.
The Moirai underestimated the strength of the Lord of Time when stealing his power, and there is something about this particular demigod brat that intrigues him. . .
Perseus Jackson came roaring to life with a violent gasp, green eyes wild. After a moment of panicked flailing and struggling to breathe, his fear-filled gaze settled upon a girl with blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, her face stern and unimpressed.
"You drool in your sleep."
