Summary
Unlike most of the other children, she remembers. She remembers where she lived before Hallstatt. She remembers never learning how to fight or shoot. She remembers sitting in her bedroom and playing with her dolls.

And so she does.
or
This is the path she is taking. She will make a legend of herself. Her choice, not her fate.

Summary
Now Sanemi was really pissed off. One moment, he was the laughingstock of all his fellow Hashira. Now this ice-faced pretty boy comes marching in out of nowhere and everyone is cooing over him like a freshly hatched baby bird? What gives? What the hell was going on?
“He’s the new Hashira, idiot.” Obanai answered. “And you’re talking out loud. You’ll scare the ‘baby bird.’”
Giyuu looked like he wanted to disappear into the ground.
The Hashira – eight of the most intelligent, hardworking, and distinguished students that made up the student council. On a technicality, Giyuu is now supposed to be one of them. He doesn’t feel very deserving of the title, but at least everyone has been kind and welcoming. Well, almost everyone.
Sanemi excelled at school and he was damn proud of it. Being the only support system in a house with an absentee father and too many siblings, it was a miracle that Sanemi could pass his classes let alone score high enough to be a Hashira. Everyone on the student council was nothing short of exceptional. Well, almost everyone.

“I don’t know what you’re doing, exactly, or what you hope to get out of this, but we’re not friends, Bob. And we’re not here to become friends. I’m here to train you, to teach you how to fight, be your mentor. That’s what you should be focusing on. Not... learning about me.” His tone wasn’t sharp; he wasn’t trying to wound. But it needed to be said.
Bob, however, didn’t back down. “Sure. But why can’t we do both? Why can’t we be both?”
John shook his head, frustration tightening his chest. “You know social expectations and rules better than I do. You know this wouldn’t be acceptable.”
“And you know I don’t care about them,” Bob shot back without hesitation. “So why are you being so difficult?”

Summary
Novak Djokovic is back to Melbourne. Back to Rod Laver Arena after the emotional unloading in the conquest of his white whale that was 2024. Jannik Sinner is back too, as the defending champion. Last year, one was happy for the other. But one olympic gold medal, and one shocking development later, Novak can't stop himself from thinking. He knows it's wrong. But the voices in his head do not care to listen. The clock is ticking and he dreads his inevitable evaporation into a shadow of himself on the arena where he long reigned as king.
But where there's life there's hope. Or is there?
The voice of the mind is never silent, at the end of the day.
What if, eons ago, it had not been Jannik, but him?
A tale of two men touted as similar but miles apart in terms of their career. The matchstick and the dying flame. And maybe they're even more different than they would otherwise have been because of the way the world has always painted them to be.

Summary
A lonely, shut-in 'nobody' in Hometown receives a kind gift; a (not so) new CRT TV. Just the entertainment he was looking for all this time! A perfect distraction and at the same time, the mirror he never wanted to look into. Most strangely, along with this gift, he invited an entity into his house that made it impossible to ruminate all by himself. Maybe the push he needed towards success was actually... some TV time!?

Summary
Five years and nine months after Forbidden 2.5, Rocco is struggling with the disabilities caused by a birth defect that stunted his growth and development. Unfortunately, the freedom that his Gift grants him only lasts while he's using it, and someone is always making him stop. Well, that's going to change; if he wants to do something, then fuck the rest of his family, he's going to do it!
Note: Rocco's Reality runs parallel to The Forbidden Saga. Some things are the same in both universes - for instance, everything up to and including Forbidden 2.5 (and any interludes that take place before that) - but there are many details which are different as the stories start to diverge in chapter two of Forbidden 3.
For those who are interested in the story but want to skip the explicit sexual activities, there are author's notes at the top of relevant chapters to help you navigate around it. Please be advised, however, that a large amount of this story's plot happens while people are having sex, so there will be unavoidable mentions of certain things going on.

Summary
Get out, something in him whispers. He doesn’t want you here. You’re not needed. You’re not wanted.
The words crawl across his chest, painful and cold, and Frank wonders if Red can hear it; the quiet sound of his heart cracking open again. Maybe he can sense it with that fancy radar of his. Maybe he knows that for five goddamn years, there wasn’t a single day Frank didn’t think about him; didn’t wish for another shot, didn’t imagine how it could’ve been if they’d just figured their shit out.
Five years, and the memories never dulled. They just sank deeper, carving a space inside him that nothing else could fill. He wonders if Red feels any of it. Or if, like always, Frank’s the only fool left holding on.
(Or, after a nasty fight, Frank and Matt part ways. The Blip happens and Matt comes back five years later, broken and hollow. Frank is there so gather the pieces of him.)
