Summary
Hyrule’s nerves are frayed and shot.
So who can blame him when he finds the best tree and all but collapses to the ground, soaking in what bit of nature he can? It feels different than most forests he’s been in, perhaps because he’s not really connected to the land below? But it’s familiar enough.
What’s also familiar is the deep, soul crushing weight of everything he feels.

Summary
Wild’s been looking at him all night.
It wouldn’t be the first time, especially with regards to Wild. Sometimes, he just looks at other members of the Chain—staring and examining, lost in thoughts or just quietly watching.
He doesn’t want to push. Hopefully, if Wild feels the need to act upon their interest, Time can be of some help for whatever has caught the kid’s curiosity.

Summary
They say life is full of surprises, but [Name] never expected to end up in an entirely different universe, one filled with monsters, souls, and magic. But this isn’t some happy fairytale; it’s reality. And reality bites.
Adapting to this strange new universe feels impossible, especially when the skeletal monsters causing you trouble also happen to be your roommates. And 'passive-aggressive' doesn’t even begin to cover it. Still, no matter how lost or out of place you feel, you refuse to let go of hope.
After all, if life can surprise you once... who’s to say it won’t surprise you again?

Summary
"so how did you two meet?" Sans, the laid-back leader of the skelebros group asked, his grin relaxed as he leaned over the kitchen table and sipped on his morning coffee.
"Oh, uh..." You rubbed your chin and tried to play it cool. "Well, it was late last night, and I thought I was looking for a dead body in the abandoned woods, so you can imagine my surprise when I found out he wasn't my guy."
"And then I punched her," Stretch replied, handing you a plate full of buttery pancakes.
"Yeah," you hummed, oblivious to the sudden silence around you. "In the face, too."
Tldr: that time stretch brings home a mage and doesn't realize it

Summary
“Oh,” Hyrule murmured, staring at the doll, “that makes a lot more sense.” With a heavy sigh, he fell back onto the mattress and stared at the ceiling. “How bad was it this time?”
Sky paused across the room, bent over to retrieve his bag, and stared incredulously at Hyrule. “This time? What do you mean this time? This has happened before?”
***
Sky learns about Hyrule's blood curse and the Link Dolls. In the aftermath, Demise's curse weighs heavy on his mind, at least until Hyrule's broken and beautiful world shows him a way he can help at least one of the heroes who comes after him.

The Gothic Haunting of Tim Drake-Wayne by EchoMikeMike22 (Emmalie22)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Danny Phantom
16 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Tim Drake-Wayne has his hands full. Balancing his vigilante work as Red Robin, leadership responsibilities at Wayne Enterprises, and advocating for legal protections for the JLA has put a strain on his personal life. He doesn't have one.
Danny Fenton has spent the last ten years of his life rejecting what he has become. After his ascension as the Ancient of Balance and endowment as King of the Infinite Realms, Danny has clung to the vestiges of his humanity.
After one casual night, Danny and Tim's fates intertwine. This sets them on a path that could change everything they know about themselves and the very nature of the universe.
