Summary
Esher knew from the start that she would live out the rest of her days on the road, constantly looking over her shoulder. That was the life she had chosen, and she would choose it again in a heartbeat over the nightmare she would have lived otherwise.
But she didn't know that a black carriage would come in the night during her travels, or that it would whisk her away to another world far from her own. She didn't know that she would learn of magic deeper and darker than any forest path she wandered.
She didn't know that one day she might like to stop running.Or
A DnD 5e warlock gets pulled into Twisted Wonderland and has to come to terms with modern technology, high school education, and a magic system that seems to be entirely monopolized by sorcerers. There is no attaining magic through force of will, faith, or pact: so according to the Dark Mirror, Esher has none. But that’s Ok, she’s used to keeping it on the down-low. It’s not like warlocks are warmly welcomed back home. Her Patron finds it amusing either way.

Summary
Loneliness is a funny thing. It creeps in slowly, wraps itself around your bones and rests in your soul. You don't realize it's there until it's all encompassing, and when you do realize it's there, it's impossible to escape. It hurts. It hurts in a way you can’t see, it grips your throat and digs its fingers into your mind until your eyes are watering and you crave touch more than you need food.

Summary
Kris was done. They weren't going to tolerate the interdimensional invader in their ribcage any longer. And if they had to open a fountain to get rid of it, they were going to.
Or at least, they were. Until that invader offered something new: the chance to remember between resets. To make their own decisions with nothing more than some minor advice and a helping hand if requested. Naturally, Kris was interested. And that's why they woke up on Thursday morning, remembering two days that technically hadn't happened yet.
Messing with the code can be delicate work. Do the wrong thing at the wrong time, and the bridge might just break. Or change fundamentally.
It's a good thing nothing like that could happen, right?
...Right?

Summary
“All right. I’m in Proud Immortal Demon Way," he says, once he's had a chance to compose himself again. He sits back up, tossing his stupidly long hair back over his shoulders where it belongs; he is totally calm and ready to grill the System for more information. "Who am I supposed to be?"
Please please please don't let it be someone who Bingge violently murders.
Though given the fact that he's a man in PIDW, his chances are already skewed, and not in his favor. Ugh.
[Bound Role: Shen Yuan, Rogue Cultivator. Weapon: the sword Heng Li. Starting B-points: 100.]
or: Shen Yuan transmigrates as a rogue cultivator, one completely unconnected to any canon characters or events. Right, System? Right?

Summary
“Satoru?” The word rings, fuzzy in his ears as it whines like tinnitus, familiar and heart stopping.
‘I’m dead.’ He can’t even hear his own thoughts over the loudness of the world, staggering where he stands, eyes still fixated on the sky, on the sun. ‘I’m dead, I died, I felt my heart stop, this can’t be, it can’t-’
“Hey,” it comes again, a little more urgent than before, a little closer, another hammer to his ears and all the noise shrieking behind his eyes. He recoils hard enough to go stumbling as a hand reaches for him, covered in flesh rather than empty bone, tan and recognizable. Unbelievable.
There’s something wet trickling from his nose. Bile stings on the back of his tongue. The words dissolve into the rest of the white noise as he stares up at the blue of the sky, and tries to remember if he’d ever had a hallucination as bright as this.
‘I have to be dead,’ he thinks. Somehow, he isn’t.
Or: Gojo Satoru goes back in time. He makes a couple of changes for the better.
