Summary
Blackbeard’s free hand snaps back to where the picture of the lighthouse stands. It was the only thing of Stede that he had allowed himself to keep. Now he shutters it down. The impact is loud, it echoes in the empty room and makes the frame break into a dozen pieces. Stede looks at him with confusion in his eyes, but he doesn’t care. “Do you wanna know why I kept this?” Blackbeard’s voice is so near and loud that it hurts Stedes ears. “I kept it to remind me that I was right all along; you are supposed to avoid lighthouses, so you don’t crack up on the rocks. But than you came along, with your secrete closet full of fancy cloths, your marmalade, your lavender soap and your library on a fucking ship and somehow you managed to make me believe that people can be lighthouses for each other. That maybe you could be my lighthouse. But you left me. And now you are here again to tell me how you fell in love with your fucking wife. So give me one reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now.”

Summary
When MC gets a message from a group of strangers, she gets pulled into the missing Hannah Donfort's life. Can she find her own place in the mystery and retain her own connections, or will she find that she's lost her own life in favor of Hannah's?
Very Slight AU in that the timeline is extended from the game, and includes conversations between what we see in the games, without negating anything in canon.

Summary
"Vivians notebook looks something like this,
There's a long list of books she wants to read someday, historical fiction, biographies, a lot of Virginia Woolf.
Then there’s her list of CD-albums her mom likes, so she can keep track of which ones to rent.
Here and there are scattered diary entries, small quotes she thinks of, bucket lists, and her dream tracker.
Vivian likes keeping track of things, and it’s fun to look back at. Now, she’s staring at the blood stains on it, after she went to pick it up. There's flowers on the front, a once beautiful picture she has ruined over the years with doodles - and now there's blood on it.
She thinks to herself - quite morbidly - that this whole ordeal has stained her whole life with blood. Nothing seems to be left untouched."
Or, Vivian chilling after watching her friends die in that forest.

Summary
Morgan Parker. Earth-2999. In every universe, Peter Parker loses. In every universe, Tony Stark wins. And, in every universe, someone always gets left behind.
Sarah Rogers. Earth-49993. There were always rumors of pre-made super soldiers. Genetically modified from birth. In this case, it was true. And in this case, the Avengers made sure she grew up safe. They were there for her. Until they weren't.
Their fates meet. A freak accident — or maybe a benevolent God finally recognizing their pained lives — throws them to a different world, a different universe, and maybe, just maybe, gives them a second chance.

Summary
It had seemed like a good idea at the time. Eighty-nine raids! So much that could go wrong there, so many stray bullets, so many opponents—their sheer number meant one might get lucky after all. And if all else failed, well, there was still the deranged sadist that had set the original record…
“You know, uh, we've never met.” Low was slowly pacing around Edward. “But there's a reason for that.”
Oh fuck me. Low had barely said two sentences and Edward was already getting tired. He was too hung-over for this…—◆—
What happens if someone tries to violently strip away what you have desperately tried and failed to shed for years?
And what does it mean if after the mask shatters, still all they can see are their own projections?—◆—
This fic deconstructs dub-con captivity tropes to explore the tragic futility of just trying to be Edward—while the world just won't stop projecting all their fucked up shit onto you.
More consensual and horny than you'd expect—but no Stockholm Syndrome, no “oh no, what if I like it?!” nonsense. [optional consent breakdown in chapter descriptions] -

Summary
One unread message leads to a misunderstanding. One night together leads to something more. And one careless word leaves Sae with a wound sharp enough to remind him that:
He doesn't just want Shidou as a teammate. He wants him as something more—something he can't put into words.
Or
Shidou told Sae to come but the prodigy was in the shower, leaving his phone on—leading to a misunderstanding. But in exchange of that was chaos, banter, and realization of feelings in each other.

Summary
My name is Caleb Steppenwolf. As far as I can tell, I'm the only demigod in the city of Anchorage, Alaska and maybe the whole state too. Give me a call if you don't want to get too cozy with our city's "other" residents.
---
My stories about my Khione demigod OC's shenanigans in the Land Beyond the Gods. See him get into all sorts of stupid and dangerous situations with Greek, Russian (maybe), Native, and other mythological forces in the far north.
