Summary
After narrowly escaping an assassination attempt ordered by his own father, Prince Scott has a plan. He's going to cross the continent, from Rielle to Prismen, and seek refuge with his friend, Queen Lizzie. With only a few pieces of jewelry to trade and the smallest bit of magic inherited from his mother, the journey won't be easy—especially seeing as his last surviving guard, Jimmy, seems pretty determined to get himself killed in the process.
If they can outrun the bandits on their trail, they may be able to draw the continent back from the brink of war. But with rumors of the four Saints walking the continent again, their world may still find itself on the precipice of change.

Summary
Fifteen years after the end of the world, Scar has settled down. He's carved out a space for himself, collected enough resources to live comfortably, and has the rest of his life to build something beautiful. Here's hoping he has enough time to before his MedSystem clogs itself with bloatware and takes him down with it.
Fifteen years after the end of the world, Mumbo is still wandering. Every day is a toil to find food, find water, find shelter, and not get killed by monsters. It's a constant struggle to stay alive, but as long as he keeps moving, his past can't catch up to him.
Fifteen years after the end of the world, someone has stuck around. He should have left with the rest of his kind, but something made him stay. Now he's watching the remaining humans live in the world they've broken. And if he becomes a little fond of a few in particular...
Well. He's never been very good at staying impartial.

Summary
Just up the coast from a small fishing village, a young woman lives in a cabin on the rocks. Small and unassuming, with hair like fire and eyes as deep as the sea itself, she spends her days fishing and carving bits of driftwood. She smiles when you speak to her, always friendly, always sweet. But look closely and you'll see saltwater pool in her footsteps, a gentle rage storming behind those eyes. The years never change her. She never leaves.
But sometimes, only sometimes, a visitor comes through town. Heavy boots, flighty gaze, a leather brown case that always drips. She's been many places, seen many things, but for some reason she always comes back. Passing through the village without a word and up to that little cabin on the rocks.
Whether the sea calms or storms in the days following, one can't be certain. But the townsfolk know it's best to leave them be.

a taste that lingers by sparrowpassing for Bee_4
Fandoms: 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series

Summary
One moment, Scott is dying. And then suddenly, he isn't.
He's lying on the ground, curled on his side in some base instinct to protect soft, vulnerable organs. The stone is cold beneath his shoulder. The inside of his mouth tastes sickly sweet and tacky with it. He moves his arm and knocks an empty bottle, tipping it over and sending it rolling across the floor. His whole body is shaking, shuddering with the aftershocks of phantom pain.
Nothing hurts.

Summary
Muse shifted, hands in his pockets. When he spoke again, the lightness in his voice suddenly felt sickly.
"You're one to talk," he said, and Tommy could hear the danger underlying his lilting words. "I saw what you had in your pockets. Are you playing Robin Hood, then? Steal from the rich and give to the poor? Or are you just a petty thief who beats up thugs to placate his own conscience?"
Tommy glowered.
"You know nothing about me."
Tommy needs to fly, Ranboo needs to provide, and Tubbo needs both of them to stop giving him a heart attack damnit. Meanwhile, Wilbur is not distracted from his job as a hero by a scrappy vigilante who won't stop running his mouth, thank you very much, Technoblade.

Summary
The instant the shopkeeper was out of sight, the kid's fingers were in the Nether wart basket, poking at the dry gnarls of fungus. Techno didn't miss the spite in the kid's eyes that said he was doing this precisely because he was told not to. He also didn't miss the way one of the grayish burgundy knobs disappeared under his palm.
There was a noise from under the counter, and the kid's hand flinched away. He flashed Techno a guilty grin, like he was just messing around and causing trouble for the fun of it. His hand slipped down towards his pocket.
Techno caught the kid's wrist before it could disappear inside.
Techno's just trying to sell his wares and move on from this town. Instead, he meets a scrappy kid who smells like death.

Summary
"You're on our property," the guy said, crossing his arm so the basket of daisies dangled dangerously at his side.
Tubbo looked around, as if expecting to see a house or fence or literally anything else marking it as not just more woods.
"It's not so easy to tell that then, is it?" he said. "Maybe you should build a fence or something."
The guy narrowed his eyes at him, mouth falling open slightly in disbelief.
"Wha—who even are you?" he demanded.
"I'm Tubbo," he said, "I just moved into town last week."After The Incident, Tubbo moves in with his Aunt Puffy in rural little Logsted. Starting over is hard when you've got no friends and a new face. Not to mention, there's something weird going on in this strange small town. If only he could figure out what.

Summary
Stanley Uris has never believed in a heaven or hell, but this would be it for him, wouldn't it? Getting to see all of his friends one last time, only to watch them all die horribly. That's why he didn't go. That's why he couldn't go. He couldn't stand by and see them die. He couldn't walk into this town again and never come out.
But here he is anyway. And wasn't it stupid to think that he wouldn't be? He made a promise.
Or: What if after Stan died, he came back to Derry as a ghost? Forced to watch his friends suffer, and unable to help them. Unless...

Summary
For a kid who'd been let down and betrayed at every turn, who smiled in the face of eternity and burned their home planet to the ground Ashes was…not what you'd expect. They weren't good. Gods in hell knew no one aboard the Aurora was good. And sure they were absolutely committed to the pyromaniac schtick (which, the longer Jonny knew them, the more and more confused he became on whether it even was a schtick or if the bassist genuinely just kind of liked setting things on fire enough for it to become an integral part of their identity.) The point was, they were a lot of things. And every decade he knew them he understood them a little more, and a little less.
Or what a quartermaster is and how Ashes knows it. Even if they pretend otherwise.

Summary
He'd hated her at first. Hated her because she was 17 and pretty and far too thin in the wrists and wore spectacles that perched too delicately on the bony ridge of her nose and spoke in a soft voice with a diplomatic tone and when the doctor looked at her she smiled in a way Jonny hadn't seen in a century.
Or how a Cyberian princess became Jonny's first friend. And maybe something else.

Summary
Jonny d'Ville was many things. A murderer, thief and crook? Absolutely. An immortal, immoral, maniacal musician? Undeniably. The respected and beloved captain of the spaceship Aurora? Indisputably.
But first and foremost, he was a storyteller. And the thing was, it just wasn't a very good story.
Or how Jonny d'Ville came to be. Even if it's not how he tells it.

Summary
Your name is Karkat Vantas and you are no stranger to fucking up.
You have an absolutely moronic and self-sabotory predisposition for feeling first and thinking later that has gotten you into shitstorm after unrelenting shitstorm over the past nine sweeps of your regrettable and deeply pitiful life.
But this… this takes the cake.
You’ve defected from the Alternian military. NO ONE defects from the Alternian military.
It's a miracle you've lasted this long.
