Summary
The blooming twyre dizzies, but the point of touch is grounding.
His words, still, come clouded and vague, “This has happened before.”
“Not like this,” Artemy’s voice is rough and curt. Hopeful again. “You never stayed.”
He blinks. “I can’t stay. It’s not how this works.”
[Or; Daniil starts remembering.]

Summary
“What?” Daniil demands, frowning. Without responding, Burakh reaches over to brush his fingers through Daniil’s hair.
“You had leaves on you,” Burakh says, looking stupid and stunned in the dying sunlight.
“Indeed,” says Daniil, feeling stupid and stunned himself.
-
For an intelligent person, Daniil is decidedly unobservant.

Summary
He inhales sharply at his own name, as though it hurts to hear it. In the pale morning light, his skin is almost greyish, paper-thin. If Artemy reached out, he could trace the sunken shape of his cheek, the small scar of a cut across it.
“Yes, you came here,” Dankovsky says at length, scarcely over a whisper. “You’ve seen—the state of me. Veni, vidi, vici—again, there’s really nothing to say.”
There’s a pause. Artemy draws in a breath. “I won’t say it, then.”
Or; Artemy goes to the Capital.

Summary
The Bachelor—man of science, child of the capital—has no ritual in him. No way to excise the growing tumor in his heart. Artemy should have seen it building. Expected something drastic. No ritual, but he doesn’t lack for drama.
“Oynon.” Artemy reaches for him. The Bachelor finally looks up.
(the Bachelor has realized that this is all a farce. the Haruspex helps him through it.)

Summary
“Relax,” Artemy tells him.
Dankovsky’s body obeys before his mind does. In fact, it had as soon as Artemy touched him.
“Do you get headaches often?”
Dankovsky grunts. “Don’t waste your diagnostics on me. There’s a plague.”

Summary
Funny word, wanting. It could mean desire, plain and not-so-simple; or it could mean a lack of something – a lack of something critical everybody else just seems to get.

Summary
When Ed passes through the Gate, he comes out the other side with more than just knowledge.
"Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,
Its ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever."- Language:

Summary
Ghost huffs, a small glint of what Soap dares to call amusement in the golden light of his eyes. “Are you so afraid to die?” Ghost asks. He sounds curious, inasmuch as his flat voice can show emotion. Soap has heard him exasperated and annoyed and even fond when he’s speaking to his mount, but the curiosity is new.
“I’m no’ afraid of death,” Soap spits, baring his teeth. “I’m just no’ done livin’ yet.”
“Oh? What is there in life you’re not done with?”
And isn’t that the question. Ghost must take Soap’s silence for hesitance, as he adds, “You wake up. You fight. You bleed. You eat. You sleep. What else is there?” He’s asking like he’s desperate to know, challenging Soap and everything that he is, and Soap has no serious answer to give him.
I live because I want to live, he senses, would not satisfy Ghost as an answer.Bookmarked by tciddaemina

Chasing the Rabbit by HigherMagic
Fandoms: Call of Duty (Video Games), Outlast (Video Games)
23 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
His rabbit is close, so close, Ghost can hear his fast little heartbeat. Feel the air as it moves around him, soft and sweet as a caress. His rabbit is leading him on a fine chase, darting through hallways and rooms like it’s a dance, like an obstacle course of his own design.
Ghost soaks himself in it. In the pound of his heart and the ache in his chest, the thrum of blood in his veins and coating his teeth, his knife, his hands. He closes his eyes for beats at a time, savoring the heady rush of anticipation, soaking his tongue in saliva, every muscle in him primed for the inevitable lunge.
It happens, as so many miracles do, by happenstance. Ghost sees him, his rabbit, sweating and scared and ready, and the thing inside of Ghost that has made itself so at home howls in recognition.
The wolf has found its prey, and it’s time to hunt.

Summary
Clint would have come to help. Like, really. If it hadn't been for just a tiny detail—the kind which causes the best laid plans to spiral into chaos.
It's not like Clint had a plan, anyway. Still, this whole slavery thing is supposed to be Loki's punishment. Maybe Clint's being petty, but it sounds more like the joke's on him.

Summary
Shen Yuan transmigrates, into a world he is told is based on Proud Immortal Demon Way, the crappy Xianxia stallion novel he'd been reading before his death.
The keywords there were 'based on,' which he missed completely, when he decided to hide in a cave for 300 years and cultivate. After all, he's got no interest in being killed by the protagonist. Better to just wait for him to die out or ascend, and come out after the fact.
Except, when the System dumps him out into the world, he learns two horrifying truths: the first, the protagonist is very much alive, and is, in fact, a teenager still.
The second?
The world he's in isn't Xianxia at all. It's a Wuxia world.(Very loosely based on the premise of 'Finding out it's a Wuxia world after cultivating for 300 years,' a web novel I thought sounded cool but never actually read, and thus is not really that relevant for anything but core premise.)

Summary
“I am not your trophy.” Radagon seethes, hair a wild mess of fiery wisps as he storms over. “I may have once shared a vessel with your former wife, but make no mistake, we could not be more different. I’m not her – I’m not the part of her you fell in love with.”
“I know that.” Godfrey groans and scrubs a tired hand over his face. “Marika spoke of you - often, I might add. But I see she failed to mention how utterly insufferable you are.”
“Oh? If I am so insufferable, why do you insist on this marriage?”
.
To become Elden Lord, one must first marry an Empyrean. With Marika nowhere to be found and the Lands Between on the brink of war, Godfrey’s options are limited.

Summary
The Elden Ring has been mended imperfectly. Yet that doesn’t explain why Mohg’s power has been diminished.
The Gods can be cruel. If Mohg wishes to remain the vassal of the Formless Mother, he will have to honor the oath he swore to the Lunar Witch and her consort. If Mohg wishes to keep his family, he may have to renounce his bid for Divinity.
