The Bar Closes at 100 Seconds to Midnight by theunbearablelightnessofbeeing

Summary
Damian Desmond wakes up with a hangover, a migraine, and an elevator intercom that cheerily informs him he’s dead, which is certainly a bold claim to make before breakfast.
The afterlife is a cocktail lounge. The bartender is Anya Forger, the girl he bullied, secretly loved, and spent six years destroying himself over after she was murdered. She doesn’t remember him. Instead, she offers him drinks, stickers, and no explanations. He offers the emotional stability of a rotting bookshelf.
He’s not ready to choose his next life. He’s not ready to let go.
He’s definitely not ready to fall in love with her all over again.

Summary
Just as she pries her head off the bar, the band playing at the far end of the room stops their song and a new voice booms from the microphone.
“I’m terribly sorry to interrupt but…”
Yor whips around to see a man standing on the small stage in front of the band, squinting into the bright spotlights as he leans into the microphone. He looks exactly like Loid, except slightly more disheveled and unlike his usual polished self. Her heart sinks.
Please don’t let that be Loid, she silently pleads.
“I seem to have lost my wife.”
She buries her head in her hands while mumbling curses.
Yor and Twilight learn the truth about each other. Neither of them expected what unraveled afterwards.

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

That Which Lies Just Beyond Our Reach [Choose your own adventure] by Justdumbfics
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
23 May 2024

Summary
A murder mystery and fantasy adventure, with a choice at the end of every chapter for you to make!
Tighnari was a cautious man. A simple botanist, running a simple florists’ in a simple town. Dark skin and red eyes lingered in his mind’s eye, but he did his best to bat the imagery away. He kept his head down, and he lived a simple life.
Cyno was far less cautious. He believed in justice, and he believed a simple life was a life of cowardice. If you could go through an unjust world with no altercations, you were part of the problem.
When DCI Xiao requests Tighnari's assistance, with a murder case involving strange flowers, the simple botanist nearly refuses. Nearly. Accepting, however, might bring more trouble than he bargained for...
Mystery after mystery litters the journey of our unlikely heroes. Who is the murderer? What is Cyno hiding? And what does Ancient Teyvat have to do with any of it?

Summary
Inspired by The Apothecary Diaries April fools school AU!
Maomao transfers to a some-what prestigious city High school, a grand contrast from her rural hometown, she's content on keeping to herself as a quiet, observant first year with few friends and little interest in the social scene. Despite her efforts to stay under the radar, her sharp wit and unshakable personality soon catches the eye of Jinshi, the ever-composed and dazzling second year student council president who reigns over the school. Intrigued by the new girl who seems immune to his charm, he finds himself drawn in, determined to unravel her mystery.
As their paths continue to cross—whether through student council errands, school events, or pure coincidence—Maomao is slowly pulled into the strange orbit of Jinshi’s world, one she could've never imagined herself seeing.- Language:
