Summary
Worlds are collapsing together.
After being pulled through a mysterious red portal, DreamWorks finds herself trapped in a shattered multiverse where heroes, monsters, and warriors from countless realities have been thrown into the same dying world. As dangerous drones roam the wastelands and strange portals continue tearing reality apart, unlikely encounters spark chaos across Hallownest and beyond.
Cuphead and Shovel Knight clash with the mysterious celestial hybrid DreamWorks, while Bendy protects her from the shadows. Meanwhile, Frisk wanders the wasteland with deadly intent, Madeline searches for a way home, and ancient forces awaken in the ruins of Hollow Knight.
As alliances form and battles erupt, everyone begins to realize the truth:
Something far worse than them brought these worlds together.
And if they can’t stop it, every universe will fall next.

Summary
Drifter likes to think he sticks to the code thoroughly. Yet, staring down at the star that lit up his way lately, gracing him with the light it held, he felt he had somehow strayed too close to the sun that made up that distant glow.
And yet, was this not the happiest he'd been?
(They fuck. Idk what else to say.)

Summary
The Rogues never considered the consequences of crossing so many different realities, each with its own unique viruses and infections. When the viruses inevitably come across one another, they fuse into a single, larger virus, or super-virus.
What results from this tiny oversight is the destruction—and slow collapse—of the multiverse itself.
Thousands of worlds are overrun by hyper-evolving superbugs, and heroes and villains alike fall one by one, infected and transformed into living vessels for the infection.
And if things couldn't get worse, a Sonic-obsessed God watches over it all, wanting his toys back.
Now, the Indie Cross crew, alongside unexpected new allies and foes, must face an impossible choice: Find a cure and save the broken multiverse… or abandon what’s left of it before the infection consumes everything.
(REMINDER THAT SOME CHARACTERS WONT APPEAR UNTIL LATER IN THE STORY, OR WILL HAVE A CHAPTER OR TWO THEN DIE)
(Be warned, people will die very bad deaths, I mean X is here, pretty sure that's a dead giveaway) -

Summary
The Rogues are not the only ones who can show the Future. They're not even the best at it.
Player isn't blind to the multiversal calamity unfolding, and while it is entertaining, it is not a story they wish to risk playing out. To be more specific, they don't want to risk anything but a happy ending. Therefore, they decide to indulge the cast of the show in a few spoilers.
Aka: Indie Game Characters watch Indie Cross

Summary
The Beheaded has been called many things, The prisoner, a bastard, an asshole, piece of shit- yeah if he's honest its mostly just curses. Not to say he hasn't earned those titles, one doesn't simply run around slaughtering people without making a name for himself, though 'people' is stretching it.
Point is, he has been called many things, Pretty has never been one of them.

Summary
For someone who is, quite literally, a flaming ball of necrotic ooze, physical stimuli tends to register more often than not.
It's not just things like blinding pain and scorching heat, either. The taste of food both familiar and foreign lingers on a phantom palate. Scents tickle nonexistent olfactory nerves, from the rotting-sweet stench of a corpse to a salty sea breeze. His lifeless heart has taken to performing backflips whenever inky black eyes, and their barely-visible earth-brown irises, smile fondly at him.
All these certainly fall among things that any corpse being piloted by a homunculus shouldn’t be experiencing, but somehow he can.
It’s not worth the headache trying to figure out the logistics of literally any of that crap on top of everything else he has to deal with. But more recently, he can’t help but find himself grateful that this aspect of whatever humanity he has left has been miraculously preserved.
For newest to his recollection of sensory-based knowhow is the familiar rhythms of two willing bodies, getting down and dirty with one another.

Summary
(DISCLAIMER): The following fic features a famous well-made game from 'Roblox as a major setting. Thankfully, 'Pressure' was not found to be a part of the many controversies that game has been going through recently as of this writing, so all is well.
(04/08/26): This fanfic was made before horrible details regarding 'Pressure' were revealed. I do not support 'Pressure' in any way, shape, or form ever since I learned the about the news.
Welcome, one and all, to the 44th episode in a series of adventures related to the craziest and most deadly arena created! 48 characters in teams of 4 compete to survive! In this one, two different settings have been combined! The Hadal Blacksite (Pressure) and Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion! A paradox has combined them both and that can only mean one thing...our combatants will have to deal with the horrors that BOTH places had within them! Who will make it through this gauntlet of terrors in an Arena that totally wasn't late for Halloween?
As usual, comments are very appreciated. The Arena server can be reached through Discord friend request: giganoto_5008
