Summary
He'd dredged up everything that had ever mentioned Lin Ling's name on the internet- from the white third place ribbon he'd won in first grade for an art competition, to the animal shelter he'd volunteered at as a teen, to the posts on a private (but easy for him to hack) account about his new job working in Nice's advertising company. He'd even found and followed the Moon fan page connected to his email, though of course it hadn't posted in months.
(He noticed the lack of a Nice fan page connected to any one of his emails. No, he wasn't salty about it, he just... noticed it. He was allowed to be aware of things.)
His mandatory therapist called it an unhealthy obsession he should let go of.
He called it grief.

Summary
Weighed down by a lack of prey, a crushing quota, and unbearable overheating, N's day is only made worse when J arrives to beat and insult him as usual. He takes it-until he doesn't.
All it takes is one brief fit of uncontrollable rage to end his torment-and unleash the consequences. Good or bad, he'll have to live with them now-and that includes his newly resurrected leader.
Hopefully he won't lose his mind in the process.

Summary
Jon Snow had been different. He'd looked at Satin and seen more than a whore; had given him work that mattered, had listened when he spoke, had never looked at him with hunger or want or disgust.
Satin had fallen in love with him for that. How could he not?
He'd told himself it was enough just to be near him. To serve as his steward, to stand at his side. He'd never let himself hope for more because men like Jon Snow didn't want men like him.
Except Jon Snow died, and the thing the red woman brought back wasn't Jon Snow anymore.

Summary
Dixie Wayne came back from the grave with a silent heart and no warmth left to give.
Dixie Wayne came back wrong.
But it’s not death that haunts her, but the way she keeps walking the halls of her life like a ghost in her own skin, watching the people she loves struggle to touch a girl who doesn’t feel real anymore, not even to herself.Because resurrection doesn’t grant clarity.
It brings questions.
And the truths waiting for her on the other side are heavier than the ice that once covered her.Series

Came back wrong, compersion, snow - Scott/Jimmy/Tango
---
The double life server was set in a perpetual state of late spring. Flowers on the ground, the occasional chill in the air, mostly cold nights, but the sun was starting to get some warmth to it and the weather was mostly clear.That's what made the blizzard such a big surprise.
It came out of nowhere. One minute then sun was shining and Jimmy was replanting their wheat, the next the ground was a blanket of white and he was sprinting back into the ranch. They could see that the weather was even worse beyond their walls, snowdrifts already starting to build and a darkness to the sky which they believed only wardens could create.
"It's supposed to be spring," Tango murmured as they stared out the window, wrapped up under a blanket together in a tangle of limbs as they tried to keep the new chill out. Tango's blaze rods were picking up speed as his body reacted to the cold, just as Jimmy's feathers were fluffing up. "It's not supposed to snow during spring. Not in the plains."
Jimmy couldn't reply. Not when they both knew it to be true. Not when it so clearly was.

Summary
King’s Landing has fallen, but conquest does not bring peace to Jon’s reign. When he wakes, his gaze turns northward, to the blue-eyed terrors that rise in the frozen north. But Jon knows little and less of the Others and how to defeat them, and he has learned the hard lesson that danger often strikes from directions unseen.
Meanwhile, another claimant has appeared bearing his elder brother’s face and name, and Dorne seeks to place this boy who calls himself Aegon upon the throne. Some who surround Jon are filled with zealous conviction that he is Azor Ahai reborn, but if Aegon yet breathes when he should lie amongst the dead, perhaps Rhaegar had spoken true when he had proclaimed his firstborn son, and not Jon, as the prince that was promised.
In times of continued strife, Jon is faced with an impossible choice: give up the throne he fought so hard for to a man who might be an impostor, or live to be called a usurper and a kinslayer. One path may save the realm and the other doom it, and even Jon’s dreams cannot tell him with certainty which path leads to salvation.

Summary
Rumi watched as the figure, adorned in his black hanbok and gat, descended from above like an angel of death. Jinu. There was no mistaking it. It was actually him. It was clear he was in his demon form. She could see the glow of his golden eyes, looking right at her.
“Pray for me now…” The chanting increased. Loud and deep.
This wasn’t right.
Something was wrong.
Abruptly, like a puppet who had its strings cut, Jinu fell to the ground, landing harshly on the stage with a resounding thud.
The crowd screamed.

Summary
“We must not look at goblin men, we must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed their hungry thirsty roots?”

They are also learning how to live together again for the first time in twenty years. Building a life together while coping with their own traumas has not been easy, though after a difficult first few months, things are starting to settle down.
But when Moiraine begins to exhibit strange and frightening behaviors, the fragile peace of their new life is shattered. Is it old nightmares come back to haunt her, or something worse?

Summary
For the first time since this god awful operation started the Fortune Teller Ghoul stopped short. His wizened face went completely slack. He fingered at the grooves on the dice demarcating numbers in something like astonishment.
“You,” he said slowly, “you really are something, aren’t you?”
“Oh really?” Aki pitched his voice to sound high and immature just like the mission demanded, only just managing not to grit his teeth. The naive schoolboy act had become grating five minutes into the job. “How so?”
The ghoul’s blind eyes glittered in the dim light. “You have a long path ahead of you, boyo. There’s a fork in the road less taken, and the one you're on is going to eat you alive.” He kept looking at Aki with cloudy eyes but it was like he was seeing something entirely else– seeing something beyond even the room they were in. “It's almost a shame I won’t be around to see it.”
*
Rank 1 Ghoul Investigator Hayakawa Aki is just trying to juggle chasing revenge, having a successful career in killing monsters, and protecting the small piece of family he managed to find along the way. Then Denji goes on an unfortunate date with a ghoul that changes their lives forever.

Summary
After Kirby's adventures in the New World, he shares the story with the Star Allies. All of them are amazed, but Taranza most of all, for it's through this, he learns of Morpho Knight.
It turns out that death isn't just a concept. It's a being, and that means it can be bargained with.
Despite his friends' objections, he seeks out the Fluttering Fiend... and somehow, he's able to get his way. He makes the ultimate sacrifice, and with it, wills the happy ending he's spent years searching for into reality:
He returns Sectonia, the person he loves most, to life.
But this miracle may not be everything it seems. Although uncorrupted, Sectonia is far from well— haunted by her actions and left grappling with an extreme identity crisis. And to make things even worse, her body soon starts to morph to represent her unstable self-image.
Punished for her vanity, she's left something eerie and mismatched: neither Arachnid or Sectra, and although Taranza promises to love her no matter what, it seems adjusting to a new normal may be more difficult than either of them could have possibly imagined; especially when considering what exactly it is Taranza gave up to resurrect her:
Half of his soul.
