    Summary

    Being a teenager is hard for everyone. It's even harder when you're Ilya Rozanov—terror on the ice, life of Moscow's club scene, and grieving son. He just has to make it to 2009, when he can properly burst onto the world stage and set himself up to be the number one draft pick in the NHL. It's not as easy as it looks.

    Featuring fake IDs, what really happened with his teammate's girlfriend (and his brother's girlfriend, and his teammate's sister), what exactly brought Svetlana to America, and fighting when everyone expects you to lay down and take it.

    (aka the Ilya-in-Moscow prequel no one asked for but I cannot get out of my mind)

    That’s the thing, though, about zombies, isn’t it? You look into their eyes and there’s nothing there, just anger and hunger, but they’re wearing the clothes of your friend.

    Summary

    — Você é lindo, Arthur.

    Arthur deixou com que seu rosto recaísse sobre a mão que lhe amparava, sentindo a frieza do toque contra o seu próprio calor. Se Dante pudesse descrever essa sensação seria como um choque térmico muito bem-vindo, eram como pequenas cócegas. Ele era tão precioso, fazia com que seu coração inchasse com um amontoado de sentimentos doces e calorosos. Será que ele não entendia que era perfeito nos mínimos detalhes? Tudo nele era lindo, era como se ele fosse esculpido pela própria deusa da beleza; Afrodite poderia ter trabalhado em todos os seus contornos.

    Summary

    Jonothon’s discovery of Neverland doesn’t just expose Weapon X’s past — it fractures his present and forces him to confront what he can become.

    Author’s Note
    This fic underwent live clarity revisions through 2026-05-03. Some of the original draft was written while I was dealing with aphasia, and the wording didn’t always reflect what I intended. I’ve revised the story for clarity. If scenes read differently than before, you’re not imagining it.

    Summary

    The music was blasting so loud that Katsuki completely missed the knock at the door, the only warning of a newcomer being Kirishima’s frenzied shout as he welcomed the man that Katsuki was most eager to evade.

    "Midoriya! You made it after all!”

    Katsuki felt his blood run cold. Izuku wasn’t supposed to be here; he told them weeks ago in an apologetic text that he would be busy all weekend grading final papers. His absence was the primary reason Katsuki decided to come. So why the fuck was he here?

    ~ Alternatively, several weeks following the events of chapter 431, Katsuki and Izuku meet again at a class party. Finally—and perhaps for the very first time—they have a real heart-to-heart.

    Summary

    Wesker watches as he meets up with Annette on the dance floor. He drinks when all the tension eases from William’s shoulders the moment she pulls him into her arms and convinces him to sway with her. He drinks when he runs his fingers through her hair. He drinks when he settles his hand on her waist. He drinks when he presses his forehead to hers and, for the first time in a long while, looks entirely at ease.
     

     
    (At William and Annette's wedding, Wesker thinks.)

    Summary

    Fourteen original philosophical dialogues set among the characters of Tolkien’s legendarium — from the first light of Arda to the darkness of the Void.

    These are not adventure stories. They are conversations between characters who carry great burdens, who have made irreversible choices, who have known glory and ruin, wisdom and folly, grief and unexpected grace.

    Gandalf speaks of weariness. Galadriel of restraint and the temptation to control what she loves. Aragorn of feeling inadequate to the crown he must wear. Saruman of the first small compromise that reshaped his entire path. Frodo wonders who he might become beyond his wounds. Elrond thinks about what it means to lead for thousands of years — and what he loses when the burden is finally lifted. Even Melkor, in his rebellion, reveals something uncomfortable but necessary about freedom, pride, and the fragile line between wanting to create and needing to control.

    Each chapter concludes with reflection questions — gentle invitations to consider how its themes intersect with your own experience.

    Tolkien’s world has always belonged, in some deep sense, to those who love it. This is one reader’s attempt to give something back.

    Summary

    “Look, I know we are on holiday right now,” Wyll begins. “No work. Just sight-seeing and relaxation. But…”

    Wyll gives him an absolute masterwork of a smile. It’s charming without being too pushy, the kind of smile that says, “If you tell me that you want to go back to our lodgings, I will of course respect your wishes and will dispatch these foul monsters quickly and without a fuss. However, if you do find it in your heart to allow me to indulge in a quick spot of theatricality just this one time, I would consider it a kindness, and one that will be repaid.”

    At least, that is what Astarion is choosing to interpret as the meaning of Wyll’s smile.

    “Go on,” Astarion says, magnanimous. “You know you want to.”


    With their wedding looming on the horizon, Wyll and Astarion decide to take a couple’s trip to spend time together and reconnect. Their holiday is supposed to be relaxing, fun, and low-pressure. It doesn’t entirely go according to plan.

    Summary

    Phainon’s first time bottoming.

    Well.

    He might’ve gotten just a tiny bit overwhelmed.

    It started with a challenge, a provocation. It ended in a loop of spiralling thoughts and people pleasing... People pleasing that Mydei never asked for.

    Heh. Cue the cuddles.

    Summary

    In 1982 West Germany, Ayla Yılmaz works the night shift at Haus der Rosen, where desire is currency and identity is performance. When a client asks for something “authentic,” Ayla gives him exactly what he paid for, a story shaped to survive the moment. But behind the practiced smiles and controlled encounters, something quieter lingers, the cost of playing a role too well, and the question of what remains when the performance ends.

    Summary

    Kaeya is 10 when he loses sight of his adoptive family. He's visionless and defenseless, wet sand to be molded for a purpose. A Khaenri'ahn child blessed by the Cryo Archon herself is sure to make a statement.

    ₊ ⊹ ₊ ⊹ ₊ ⊹ ₊ ⊹ ₊

    When the 11th Harbinger takes La Signora's place in Mondstadt while she's stationed in Inazuma, the City of Freedom is prepared to "welcome" one man. But two halves make a whole, do they not?

    Tartaglia feels suffocated within these tight walls, where he's constantly running directly into a pale nun. Kaeya feels eyes on him at all times. Red flashes in his peripheral, while the consistent teal braids of a bard feel like chains. Who is that blonde haired alchemist, who looks at him with such a knowing stare? Why is the wind so agitated when Kaeya leaves Mondstadt's borders? And just who is the Darknight Hero, who coincidentally matches the description of the Eagle who tormented Fatui camps for four straight years? Perhaps Mondstadt was always just a means to an end.

    (Don't let the MCD tag scare you !! Kaeya, Childe, and all of the Mondstadt characters are safe. As of now, the only planned deaths are ones canon to the game, but they are/were central to the plot.)

    Summary

    "Sadness wasn’t the best way to describe it. Yes, maybe in English it was the closest possible synonym, but the word in of itself failed to describe the feeling that permeated Ilya's every waking moment. From the second he woke up to the second he fell asleep, it was a heavy, fuzzy feeling that made the day seem like it was colored grey."

    Ilya Rozanov struggles with depression.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace had gotten to him, wormed his way right into his well-shielded heart, and right now he feels trapped, caught between what he wants to do and what he has to do. He rubs his neck and tells himself it doesn't matter because he has a job to do. He took an oath, for fuck's sake.

    Missing scenes for the time between Grace being tackled on base until his trip to the Hail Mary.
