    Summary

    Ever had a bad day?
    How about a bad week?
    Nash is going on a bad half-year.

    Dropped into the Unova region in the middle of a financial crisis, forced to survive on welfare, odd jobs, and a truly staggering amount of spite.

    No Team.
    No Dream.
    No Destiny.

    Just a powerful need to eat this week, and half a plan held together by hotdog wrappers and stolen AAA batteries.

    A grounded Pokémon story about survival, debt, and not knowing when to quit.

    Summary

    He is a beautiful monster whose body is a stage for others' pleasure. She is a deadly Thayan expatriate starved for a touch she can't have. Both have to learn that physical compatibility is not the same as emotional safety.

    Astarion, a vampire spawn enduring two centuries of brutal servitude, finds his means of survival destroyed when he meets Shelly, a sharp-witted bookbinder with dark secrets of her own. As their ill-fated connection deepens into something real, they must navigate the ever-present realities of a sadistic vampire lord, Thayan enclaves seeking vengeance, A looming undercurrent of a grand design, unlikely betrayals and stranger alliances.

    “I was so afraid I would kill you. And then that night…here.” She gestured weakly to the front workbench she’d been avoiding. “When you pinned my wrists… I thought… I thought you were still afraid I could hurt you after I showed you what I’m capable of.” A lone, hot tear fell down her cheek. “I thought you were protecting yourself from me. From what I could do.”

    “I was.” His voice was hoarse, and barely audible. “Just… not the way you think.”

    (I'm back.)

    Summary

    Morwenna Emrys-LeFay was five years old when the ritual gave her back a life she hadn't known she had lost. Another world. Another story. One where she had watched Harry Potter walk toward a death that rewarded everyone who never deserved it.

    She isn't here to save the world. She doesn't particularly like the world.

    But she has her people — few, chosen, fiercely kept — and the story she remembers has a bad habit of destroying exactly the kind of people she has decided to keep alive.

    The old families are moving. Dumbledore is watching. A dark lord is collecting his pieces.

    She's selfish. She might be wrong.

    So what?

    This is her story. She decides the ending.

    ---

    Note: This story begins at Morwenna's birth and the early chapters move slowly — very slowly. Chapters 1–60 (ages 2–4) are deliberately slow-paced. The story accelerates afterward, though pacing may fluctuate. Volume One covers ages 0–7. Volume Two covers ages 7–11.

    Hogwarts is coming. We are just building the person who will walk through those doors first.

    Summary

    In 1884, a witch’s silhouette is a masterpiece of steel, whalebone, and restricted breathing.

    Then came Saffron Mode.

    Displaced from the 21st century with nothing but a wand and a degree in Intimate Apparel, Saffron opens a discreet atelier in London’s magical quarter. To the Ministry, she’s just a dressmaker. To the witches of the Ton, she’s a miracle worker.

    By replacing rib-cracking stays with charmed willow-bark and hiding Undetectable Extension charmed-pockets in silk slips, Saffron isn't just changing the fashion—she’s engineering a revolution. Because if a woman can’t breathe, she can’t cast, and if she doesn't have pockets, where is she supposed to hide her wand?

    "Beauty shouldn't be a cage. If your corset stops you from winning a duel, you’re wearing the wrong brand."

    Summary

    No one is quite sure where Inigo, Owain, and Severa went, three years after Grima’s demise—just that they left questions and broken hearts in their wake, and a strange new threat that’s beginning to spread across the continent from their last known location.

    In truth, the Ylissean trio has found themselves a literal world away from home in the land of Nohr. Without even their true names to guide them, they’ve been thrust into the service of a crown prince of questionable loyalties, a smothering yet foreboding princess, and a dark knight-to-be harboring even darker secrets. Firmly entangled into the royal family’s issues, they’re beginning to learn war can mean far more than the clap of magic and the glint of steel. No one is safe, not when everyone has an angle to play against someone else and secrets betrayed can do more damage than any blade.

    In the end, it may be more than the fate of Nohr and Hoshido resting on one young woman’s shoulders. And for those left behind, perhaps sitting back and believing the lost will return won’t be enough.

    (Begins three years after the end of Whatever It Takes and two weeks after Unbecoming; begins April 1019 LS and April 635 ND)

    Summary

    Lorelai moves to Stardew Valley for a simpler life. Farming. Fresh air. Maybe a little peace.

    She doesn’t expect the ground to answer when she touches it.

    She definitely doesn’t expect the Wizard to take an interest in her.

    As Lorelai’s strange connection to the valley begins to grow into something powerful (and something dangerous) Magnus is forced to stay closer than he should. What begins as careful observation slowly turns into something neither of them is prepared for.

    He tells himself it’s research.

    It isn’t.

     

    Largely inspired by Jellonip's RRRR mod and Stardew Valley Expanded mod.

    Summary

    Bellflowers symbolize unchanging love, honesty, or eternal bond. Funny my name can be translated to bellflower. When I lie to cover my knowledge. When I have lost bonds both old and new. I wonder what purpose does my life serve being here now, but, I have to keep going. Hoping I make a difference.

     

    Also a story about a woman being reborn into the Naruto world as an Uzumaki, before the original story started, before alot of things happened and trying to survive in that world and maybe change it.

    Summary

    The quiet town of Twilight Zone harboured dark secrets within its forests, houses and streets. A war between humans and vampires took place centuries before Jisung, the son of a former vampire hunter, was born. Amidst countless deaths and the extinction of both hunters and vampires, the story ultimately ended with a peace agreement between those two very different species. Nowadays, vampires are regarded merely as part of folklore that has spread across the globe.

    Han Jisung really hates vampires. He doesn’t like the stories, however interesting they may be. Something in his body rejected them, until he met… him. Minho shouldn’t have been any different from the other boys, but apparently he was… but there was just one detail: Minho wasn’t the only one who was a living anomaly.

    As well as Twilight Zone harbouring secrets, perhaps the residents, perhaps the school, perhaps history, and perhaps his father do too. The past never dies if you don’t know how to bury it properly. It can return with its icy fingers to touch your face and say: Remember me… until your very last day.

    But after all, why on earth did their skin burn when they touched?

    Summary

    The year is 2021, and the COVID-19 pandemic is in full swing. Everybody's stuck inside and the world governments are getting used to dealing with it. Everyone expects something big to come up.

    What they didn't expect, however, was for a livestream to another world to appear. Former human and tired college student Ollivine has to act as both a streamer and a diplomat for the Earth's eventual first contact with the Inpherno.

    Everyone's hungry for research, politics, and culture as they make contact with a brand new world. How's a girl to handle this?

    [A side-story to the upcoming "I can't phucking aim!" rewrite!]

    Summary

    Harry Potter wakes up in a random forest with no memories, a broken wand, and a suspicious letter from Death explaining that someone tried to murder him and he has been relocated to another world for safety.

    His biggest problem now is not the betrayal, the missing memories, or the whole new universe situation.

    Nope,

    its is the fact that Death forgot to pack any food.

    This turns out to be everyone’s problem later.

    – violence, trauma, found family, and bad choices

    Summary

    "It's been so long, Father."

    One year after my eldest cat passed away. On the first anniversary, when I thought I'd finally recovered from all the tears—my familiar son returned to our familiar home. But unfamiliar. Reincarnated as a beastman. As an alien. As a king.

    "...If this is a dream, please let me wake up."

    "Unfortunately, this is reality, Father."

    And somehow, after following him to that other world, this middle-aged man even acquired cheat abilities.

    "Well then, I'll do it. Son, trust in this father. I'll make you a 'Great King' remembered in history!"

    ...Eighth-grader syndrome spares no one, not even those in their late forties.

    This is the record of an unremarkable man's comical yet endearing struggles—reunited with his beloved cats, fumbling forward with cheat powers and his inner teenager for his sons' sake. It's also the grand tale of overcoming pet loss across space and time.

    "Now now, Chū〇? Automobiles? Whatever you want, just name it! ...Hm? Who are you? WHAAAAAT?!"

    Summary

    Semi is a half moon elf dhampir princess from the Moorbita Palace in a world known as Moon Crater’s Isle. On her 20th birthday, she awakens to it still being dark outside and the time being 12:00 a.m. even though she slept for the full 8 hours. On her bed laid a weapon from the same dream she had before waking and she was then transported to another district with 3 others in front of someone that is a Moon Deity. They are tasked with going through many trials based on the theming of each district that may be formed from their own dreams and nightmares in order to have whatever dream they wish to come true as a guaranteed prize. As the day is stuck on her birthday that’ll feel like 21 days into one, she begins falling for Astarion who might be the greatest birthday gift and dream of them all.

    This story is connected to the other one of a similar name and it’s not required to read the other fic, but there will be different outcomes in each for a fresh feel to the story and not the same one with the same characters other than there being Astarion in both. (There are different companions in both stories who aren't in the game)
