Summary
The mission was simple. The Vessel of Sleep was to either be claimed by Alkaline Agency, or executed. And after countless failed attempts at cooperation, all resulting in the gruesome deaths of previous agents, peace was no longer an option.
Sixteen teams, all lost to the whim of some monster. Four gulped, hoping that, against all odds, the death toll would not raise any higher.

Or an AU where II, III, and IV are the men in yellow suits from the music video for Alkaline

Summary
Tired of your current insurmountable problems, and the apparently endless cycle of death and war you're trapped in? Try time travel! 100% guaranteed to replace all of your old, boring problems with newer, more exciting problems!
Or: 2B accidentally travels back in time to the start of the story - and just as accidentally gets her consciousness stuck in a sword now wielded by A2. What seemed at first to her like a few minor changes rapidly spirals into a new timeline wholly out of her control, especially as her younger self responds to the changes she's making, and her enemies take note of how the world isn't developing as it should...
But, hey, at least they're not going to get the same problems as last time...?
2B's going to need a lot of help to dig everyone out of this. Fortunately, A2's (somewhat beligerently) taken up her cause, and she has more allies than she thinks.
Or: A fix-it retelling of canon (based centrally in the anime), though the road is far from smooth, and things get worse before they get better. Also there's robot philosophy, exploration + expansion of canon esp the Executioner program, and slow burn disaster queers.

Summary
Welcome to the Companion Update. Valve and Facepunch created advanced AI companions to fill in servers, pulling characters from every franchise imaginable, complete with their personalities and memories.
The problem? The Companions are genuinely sentient.
They have no idea they're in a video game.
To them, players are "Operators", glitches are "reality anomalies", and their manic, basement-dwelling, terminally online bosses are incomprehensible entities. This anthology chronicles their assignments as they try to survive a reality that doesn't make sense. -

Summary
Her recovery, they say, is a medical miracle. Mary didn't care. She played the tape again and again and again in disbelief, staring down at the answering machine as if it was a foreign thing.
"Mr. Sunderland, sir," came the static voice. "This is Officer Greene from the West Ashfield police department with an update on the missing persons report you filed for a James Christopher Sunderland. We concluded our preliminary assessment of the situation and have decided to open a current investigation into your son’s whereabouts. As your appointed liaison, I want to be to fully aware of the situation and make sure you understand we will put our best efforts into finding your son. Please call me back whenever you’re able so I can brief you on our process for the investigation, thank you.”
She played it again. "Mr. Sunderland, sir-"
And again. "-the missing persons report-"
And again, just to hear James's name one more time.

Summary
Once, Dream shaped the world. Now, the world dreams of shaping him.
In the Dreaming, Nuala begins to dream of a man in a temple, a voice that speaks of Morpheus as father and fate as a circle unbroken. Her visions awaken something ancient, something that could either unmake or renew the Dreaming itself.
For even gods must face the Hour of Change. The Kindly Ones were never alone.
This is a canon-divergent, mythology-heavy slow burn that centers on Dream’s trauma, Nuala’s agency, and the cost of loving an Endless who does not believe he deserves to be chosen.
There will be spoilers for season 2's ending and for the comic ending.

Summary
It's a sunny day in Tokyo. The sky's clear, tourists roam the roadways, and all seems as well as can be. Taking advantage of the good weather and the beginning of their Summer break, Kessoku Band meets up in Shimokitazawa to jam out and have fun.
But someone didn't come. Where, oh where, is Bocchi?
It's that absence that forces them to contend with death, the meaning of their lives, and the nature of art.

Summary
A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.
Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?
Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.
Disclaimer: This is an intensive character study and an extremely long-form fic, covering the events of Dryya's very long life from the birth of Hallownest to long after its fall. Slow burn. Extremely extensive flashbacks which start early on. Read the tags.

Summary
Vincent Novus never asked to end up in another world, least of all one he’d only seen on a screen.
But when a government experiment gone wrong drops him into the chaotic, neon-lit city of New Eridu, Vincent discovers that the disasters, the Hollows, and the people he once thought were fiction are all painfully real. And this time, he isn’t just watching from behind a monitor. He needs to survive.
Determined to make a difference in a world forever teetering between catastrophe and rebirth, Vincent throws himself into the fight to change fate itself. As the Hollow Zero Disaster unfolds, soldiers burn, angels fall, and the city’s last defenders learn what it truly costs to keep hope alive. Yet amid the ruins, friendships form, laughter still rings out, and even broken people find new reasons to love the life they’re clinging to.
From the tragedy of sacrifice during the Hollow Zero Disaster, to the revival of those living on to honor their memories, this is a story of humanity at its most fragile and most defiant.
Vincent must learn to live life fully in a world on a collision course with annihilation.

Summary
Nothing gold can stay... that's what they say right? Anytime Shane had something good in his life it never lasted, jobs, opportunities, friends... after awhile he just learned to stay in a shell. If getting close to someone was only ever going to get him hurt, why bother? After years of pain and suffering (emotionally and financially) he had no choice but to fall back on family. In a sleepy little town he once called home. Pelican Town, which was just as slow and dreary as he remembered. Life here was almost as dull as his life in the city, but at least it was quiet. 'Till one day, someone new moves to town. And he couldn't be bothered to care, at first. But there was something off about her. Almost as if she saw through him. Past his rough and gruff exterior, past the five o'clock shadow and hint of sour beer, to the person he once was. Maybe this Melissa chic will be the first person in town not to treat him like he's a ticking time bomb. Maybe she can counter all his cynical and rude comments with her own? Maybe she can pull him out the hole he's dug himself into, maybe for the first time in years he won't feel like he's holding on by a thread. Let's just hope he doesn't screw it up.

forwards beckon rebound by Icaruspartharmony

Summary
I wonder if the world stopped for you, when you finally realized what was happening.
I wonder how different you felt, if you were scared.
I wonder if you felt like you were going home, like I do.
Or, if it’s just because I’m coming “home” to you.
In other words: They don't find Jax in time, and he abstracts alone in his room.
Title from song "forwards beckon rebound" by Adrianne Lenker.
