Summary
Panic wells up inside him. He presses the keys. A C chord. Nothing. Again, harder, with more force. Nothing.
He can feel the keys, but he doesn't hear them. He feels them. He knows by instinct the sound they're making- the sound they should be making but it's not right. It's not right it's not right it's not right.

Summary
Makoto's mental health had never been good, but it was hard for her to believe how far gone she was just a few short days ago. She had truly reached her breaking point, and she shuddered to think what would've happened to her without the Thieves. Awakening to her Persona had cleared her head, but being clear just made it easier to see the monsters at the bottom of the lake. Monsters ready for her to fall off her new lifeboat, to tear her asunder when there's no one to help her. Still, she had to be strong. Her only path now was forward, side by side with her friends, praying as she walked that the monsters don't surface once more.
A rewrite of Makoto's confidant with a focus on her mental health, the traumatic reality of being a Phantom Thief, and why maybe it's all she ever needed.

Summary
“Same here, I did eventually find a… trainer a couple of months back but…” Izuku’s voice wandered slightly as he thinks about all his training. Carrying trash, lifting weights, proper eating habits, training One for A– wait, did he even do any training…? Right, got it in a day, ran off, and broke his bones three times over. “W-well anyway! You said you have a powerful quirk, right? Mind if I ask what it is?”
“Sure! I’d be happy to!” She gives a wide, glossy smile, her teeth seem to shimmer in the sunlight. “My quirk’s called One for All!”
“...huh?”
AKA, the original Stockpile User has descendants, and Izuku meets the latest one.

Summary
L starts talking again, much to Light’s chagrin. “You know you really should’ve checked the expiration date, Light-kun. I checked after you threw the package away and that ramen’s been expired since last year.”
Anger shoots through Light like lightning. “And. You. Didn’t. Tell. Me?” he grits out between his teeth, not without a bit of effort.
L shrugs like the asshole he is. “It’s not my job to tell you what you can and can’t eat. I’m not your mother.”
***
Light gets food poisoning and L takes care of him (Light is not happy about this development) -

Summary
Money has coexisted with time since the very beginning. Trade is intertwined with human nature.
Even the first settlers in this world exchanged goods for wealth.
Everything has a price in Teyvat. From the Windsong Lyres of Mondstadt to the wisdom of Sumeru.
Mora hails from the land of the God of Contracts.
Money means nothing to the gods, and yet it means everything to him.
And in this world where a golden heart pumps money through its arteries, betraying Her Majesty is a crime punishable by death.
Admittedly, he hadn't planned on solving this along with the Doctor. Maybe he won't come to dread this as much as he had expected.
Or: The Regrator has a crippling fear of being vulnerable, Il Dottore hates himself, and Pantalone is rapidly relapsing back into his smoking addiction in an effort to run from his problems.

Summary
Shauna adjusts the damp shirt she has balled up against her breasts to cover herself a bit more fully, speaking a bit more gently when next she does. “Look, just— go back to bed, okay? I want to be alone, it’s— complicated, and it’s gross—”
Oh, Melissa thinks, because it’s starting to click, and they’d kind of learned about this in health class, and she can feel her whole body going hot at just the thought of it for some reason, and her mouth is moving before her brain again as she blurts out—
“Are you still lactating?”
“Melissa.”
And yeah, okay, she probably shouldn’t have said that. Fuck.
OR:
In the wake of a late night anxiety attack and on the brink of starvation in more ways than one, Melissa makes an offer that Shauna can’t refuse.

Summary
"A full moon will still cast shadows."
After a crash-landing escape from a mind flayer ship, Shadowheart awakens infected, disoriented—and freed from her pod by a Selûnite paladin with a haunted past and irritatingly kind eyes. As the group of mismatched survivors bands together in search of a cure, Shadowheart is forced into a long march across a war-torn world alongside her ideological opposite.
What begins as reluctant cooperation becomes something far more dangerous. Each step drags her deeper into a conflict not just of gods and parasites—but of love, selfhood, and the parts of her past she was never meant to remember.
Told from Shadowheart's point of view, this story retells the events of Baldur’s Gate 3 with added depth, introspection, and a slow-burn romance. As the tadpoles and loyalties grow stronger, Shadowheart must choose who she really is—and what she's willing to risk to become free.
The path of a Sharran beckons, but so does something else.
Something brighter.
Canon-divergent. Spoilers through Act 3. Contains religious conflict, emotional intimacy, party dynamics, and a woman in crisis learning how to want something for herself.

Zelda me mira con asombro. Yo imagino la forma concreta de la información que acabo de darle: Una escultura de metal puntiaguda y abstracta que, se mire por donde se mire, no entra en su cabeza.
—¿No sabes escribir?
Pienso en mi mamá sacando cada grano de arroz de una espiga, y en qué tan posible es que Zelda se haya alimentado de uno de esos granos. Y niego con la cabeza.
