Summary
Faced with a hostile takeover of Abel, Five and Sam are on the run and injured. They find refuge by the sea— a reclusive settlement called Armistead. They begrudgingly let the two in on a good word from one of their runners, and they quickly find themselves in a veritable paradise. But, there’s more than meets the eye to the self-sufficient residents, with mysteries afoot around every corner. Can Sam and Five convince them to help take back Abel, or will the enigmatic town become their new home? Five just hopes their past doesn’t catch up to them.

Summary
Scott stands on the hill, sticks of dynamite at his feet.
“You deserve this more than me, Pearl,” he says, hopeful tone below dead eyes. Pearl doesn’t know what to do. She should stop him, right? This has to be a fair fight. It’s not fair if it’s not a fair fight.
She sputters something, something about asking him what he’s doing, she doesn’t really remember.
“Tilly death do us part,” Scott smiles, dropping a lit match onto TNT.
The smell of gunpowder lingers in her nose as she violently gains consciousness. In her body’s attempt at reckoning with that final death and painful rebirth, she slams her head into something directly above her.or
Double Life ended and Pearl should be home. Why isn't she home? ... Where is she? -

Summary
"'Sorry, didn’t mean for that to slip out,' Ranboo apologizes, at the same time processing that he has somehow made it to the top of a staircase, with Tubbo leading the way down. Tubbo shrugs like it’s not a big deal, and turns around to continue heading down the stairs.
The living room is a miscellany of furniture; three separate loveseats in different styles, not a matching pillow between them, one glass coffee table and one of an intricately carved dark wood, plants and books and papers and toys and crafts strewn around like the whole room was hit by a very centralized tornado. But, there’s definitely a pattern to it all.
It’s homey."A guy with no memory of the past few months walks into a foster home. This isn't a joke, how did he get here?
(i'm officially putting this fic on hiatus given... recent events. i might be stepping away from dsmp content in general for the time being. take care of yourselves. <3)

Summary
"I saw all of existence at once.
Thunder booms through the open air, shaking everything from the ground up. Streaks of lightning web out from a single, undefinable point, casting silver linings to the dark clouds swirling ominously above. Strong wind pushes golden stalks of field grass closer and closer to the soil as a cacophony builds, demanding every bit of noise be heard, all the way out to the cosmos. A rumbling grows louder, as if the steady beating of hooves had chosen to accompany the flashy show in the sky instead of its usual companion, riding just beneath the gale that threatens to topple anything in its way. Hard, fast rain cuts streaks of its own through the greenery, striking the ground with the fury of a fox ready for prey.
I saw a dark storm, a living hunger eating it from within."Ranboo wakes up to an unfamiliar house, a weird blend of a family, and few memories to their name. Because of course they do.

Summary
""Stressed, old man?" the ram hybrid jokes, looking up from his own textbook. Phil rolls his eyes at the comment, simply getting up to stretch. His shoulders give a satisfying series of pops, and Schlatt grimaces. "Jeez, how long have you been sitting there?"
Phil glances at the clock, mentally tallying.
"Seven hours, I think?"
"Seven hours?" Schlatt exclaims incredulously, slamming his own book shut. He stands and hooks an arm around Phil's shoulders, mindful of his wings, and starts ushering him toward the door.
"Didn't you just get back?" Phil questions, not bothering to struggle.
"Yeah, but I don't want your geriatric ass to crumple to dust while I'm in the room. Let's go loosen up a little!" Schlatt grins, lightly knocking his horns into the side of Phil's head. Phil rolls his eyes, but goes along with the other man without resistance, per routine."Phil reflects on his family; losing, gaining, learning to love and let go. He's so proud.

Summary
"Jon is a man (debatably), a man of sensibilities (also debatably). He does not intend to, and therefore will not, tolerate any discussions of what he does or does not remember, how it could be affecting him, or why it’s so concerning that this note that he apparently wrote has handwriting just adjacent of his regular messy script. Especially not from an assistant who could be doing much more important things and actually making himself useful."
In which Jon finds his little problem to be suddenly, very much not small anymore.

Summary
Ok, so, maybe Martin lied a little too well on his CV. It's not like he expected to become Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, though! Nor did he expect to fall for two of his assistants, have to stop those assistants from getting themselves killed for the sake of not ending the world, develop powers alongside them, or have to find a way to prevent the apocalypse... Lying gets you nowhere, kids, remember that.

Summary
Their friendship started very slow, very delicate. Tim took extra care to get Jon to open up to him, and he's proud of what he's done... But, he can't help but want more. Jon's just... so pretty, dammit. It's unfair, but he tries to bite his tongue and swallow his yearning for the sake of their friendship; some Jon is better than none. Besides, he has a reputation to maintain: Tim the player, the Casanova, sleeping around and never, ever catching feelings, never settling... Jon makes him want to stop everything and hunker down if he asked.

Summary
When Lucretia fed the memories of the IPRE crew's journey to the Voidfish, there were a lot of things that were taken. But, some things, secret things, things left unsaid, unexplored, those things remained. Emotions are a fickle thing, even more fickle is the brain itself, especially when it comes to dreaming. Who says, somewhere deep in the crevices of the crew's subconscious, there weren't things that stuck, that made themselves known only when the line between subconscious thought and unconscious workings blurred?
