Summary
So that’s it, huh.
Mira does a better job at stifling her tears than Zoey, but she still feels a few warm drops run down her cheeks.
The hopes and dreams of being an idol at Sunlight Entertainment—hell, of being anything—are gone with a handwave from some guy in a suit and a paper that says “Thanks for auditioning”.
Before she can storm out as quickly as possible to save what little face she has left, Mira turns on her heel and freezes at the sight of Celine, the CEO of Sunlight Entertainment, watching her. That odd woman with the purple braid and mask floats behind her, eyes gleaming.
“Mira. Zoey.” Celine steps towards them. “Before you leave, I have an offer I’d like you to consider.”
Or: When Mira and Zoey, both running from difficult pasts, audition to become idols at Sunlight Entertainment (famous for its mysterious headliner idol Hunter) and fail, all hopes of meeting and training under Hunter go out the window until Celine makes them a different, surprise offer: train under Celine’s unknown ward Rumi instead.
(“Why us?” Zoey asks.
“Honestly,” Rumi says, “I think you're both really weird.”
Oh. Mira might kill her.)

the best person to be stuck in an elevator with by Sporkess

Summary
There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years.
But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.

Summary
The Duchess Approves is terrible. He wants to bleach every brick of his body just to purify himself of this three hour experience. He wants to pluck out his eyeball and treat it to a ten-day spa as reparations. He demands a sequel from the Axolotl during their next therapy session.
The Axolotl tilts their head. “There's no sequel. Only one movie has ever been made.”
Bill glowers. “But what happens after?”
“Production went into debt after casting big name Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble,” the Axolotl answers sadly. “Rumor has it he charges fifty thousand per letter.”
“Wonderful,” Bill drawls. “Real useful information. So what am I supposed to do now, doc?”
The Axolotl’s eyes gleam suspiciously. “I suppose there’s always fanfiction.”
Or: Bill hates a certain fanfic author almost as much as he hates the man who killed him. Crazy, wouldn't it be, if the two were the same person.

Summary
At the lowest Arthur has ever been, Kayne offers a deal: John will be freed from the King in Yellow, but he will kill someone that Arthur loves.
It's not a difficult choice at all.Both men are transported to a lighthouse near Innsmouth, Massachusetts. Bizarrely, they seem to have gotten something else out of the deal: John has a body, and learning to cope with his newfound corporeality is more of a challenge than he realized. They try to find some small comfort with one another, even as the shadows of Innsmouth grow around them - until an impossible face comes to town and shatters their illusions of safety.

Summary
The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’
Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

And if I Bit Down Hard Enough, Would We Become One Again? by A_Mossy_Amethyst
Fandoms: Malevolent (Podcast)

Summary
John wants. He’s not entirely sure what, much less why. His jaw aches when he looks at the other man, teeth clenching with nothing to wrap them around. His fingers twitch, restless with nothing to hold onto. There’s desire thrumming through his veins, making his heart pick up pace.
---
Another night with his own body, another night John is without Arthur. At least, that's how it feels. Arthur is sitting right beside him, but it's nothing like what it was. John doesn't know how to remedy that. Except, he might actually, if only he knew how to speak up.

Summary
John realizes what’s happening on the sixth loop.
In retrospect, it’s fucking embarrassing that it took him so long to figure it out—that this isn’t an illusion, and it’s not him finally going mad, and it’s not a dream or a trick or a torment devised by the King to fuck with them. It’s not like he doesn’t know that time is as malleable as clay in the hands of gods. The Dark World taught him many lessons that he’d like to forget, and that’s one of them.
It’s just been a little hard to concentrate when Arthur keeps fucking dying.
.
When John decides to stay with Arthur as he bleeds out on the King’s plateau, he expects them both to die. Instead, they find themselves brought back in time to the first moment they stepped onto the plateau—and Arthur has no recollection of their confrontation with the King. John soon realizes that they’re stuck in a time loop that restarts every time Arthur dies.

Summary
Somewhere Else isn't right, and they've never talked about what happened in the Panopticon, but so what? They're together. The Fears aren’t gone, no, but behind a curtain, subdued.
Martin actually loves the small-village life, farming and friends and found family. Jon is... managing. They're making it work.
But the universe they landed in is occupied, and its current rulers are very interested in the new kids. Entities made of Fear, attached to a damaged ex-human and his surprisingly sneaky lover? Who could resist playing with that?
Everyone has plans, and plans under those plans. What happens when a web grows too heavy to support its own weight?
"Tears and blood, blood and tears," says Kayne.
He is not wrong.
Now with FANART! Ahh! It will be posted in the final chapter, because it's spoilerific, but ahh! Thank you, Pikachic!
