    Summary

    For any normal being, the road from such a remote village to the capital is a long one. But the passing of time is different for Natsumi. If others' perception of time is a straight line drawn in the sand, her perception would be…

    The same, really, but her line is drawn on a beach where the waves keep on coming, and the line gets erased, again and again. Natsumi’s the poor sod who has to keep on drawing the same thing and futilely trying to shield what’s hers from the never-ending tide.

    She held it together during the first couple resets, but after a while she can feel her humanity slipping away. Some people are blessed to live upwards of a hundred years, but no human is supposed to live thousands of years while retaining their sanity. Humans are taught to cherish every moment because unlike beings with long lifespans, they don’t have the time to take it easy for a couple hundred years and still have more than half of their life to learn and grow. So what can a human do when saddled with a power like hers?

    How ironic that the title Saintess is granted to her, when all she can do is pray for salvation.

     

    [Saintess Natsumi with some powers, trying her best to navigate the loops]

    Summary

    When Avatar Aang defeats Fire Lord Ozai in their fated final battle, he calls upon the ancient art of energybending to strip Ozai of his firebending. But in the chaos of spiritual forces colliding, Aang’s power goes too far. Along with Ozai’s bending, he takes something far deeper—his memory.

    Now, the once-tyrannical Phoenix King awakens with no recollection of his crimes, his empire, or even his own name. He remembers nothing of hate or pride, only confusion and fear. To the world, he is the monster who nearly burned it to ash. To himself, he is a hollow shell seeking to understand who he used to be.

    As the Fire Nation rebuilds, Zuko is torn between justice and mercy—should he imprison a man who no longer exists, or forgive a father who cannot remember his sins? Katara questions the morality of Aang’s choice, fearing that his compassion may have rewritten the balance between punishment and redemption. Toph and Sokka debate the meaning of accountability in a world seeking peace. And Aang himself must confront what it truly means to restore balance—if erasing a soul’s darkness is an act of mercy, or of hubris.

    Before the young woman’s eyes, fine red lines began to etch themselves into her skin, stretching from her elbow down to her wrist. She could hardly look away, her heart pounding in her chest as the words appeared, written in blood like some sacred covenant.

    Summary

    Charred Note:
    This note is preserved by some innate magic. It is charred beyond comprehension in some places, as though someone tried to burn it from existence.

    . . . They sought to maim the Wolf, but in their folly, they murdered the only one who could have stopped him. These new elves say Fen’Harel laughed for ages beyond counting after the Gods were sealed away. But I knew him. He did not chuckle madly as the world fell to ruin. He wept in silence, clutching his bloodied heart in his palm.
    -F

    In the midst of a war they are losing, the Evanuris do the unthinkable: forcing spirits from the Fade into lyrium bodies to serve as warriors against the Children of the Stone.

    In the ever-shifting political landscape of fragile Elvhenan, Ellana finds herself at the heart of the turmoil, and wondering why Elgar’nan has become so intensely fixated on her power. Terrified and overwhelmed, she seeks wisdom from Mythal’s Second, a man she has felt connected to since the moment she was pulled into a body.

    Summary

    Solas doesn't need to watch the Inquisition fall to ruin, taking the world with it. He can do the right thing: undo everything. Fix all he broke, and let the Inquisitor Maxwell Trevelyan decompose.

    (Or: an Unreliable Narrator Extraordinaire twists DA:I into a Time-Travel Break-It, then falls in love.)
    (But: Every retelling of Orpheus & Eurydice has one thing in common.)

    Summary

    A young Dalish elf, her head bandaged, walks along the road. She's picked up by a kindly family of traveling performers.

    I'm not sure how well I have portrayed childhood trauma in this.

    I have attempted to note content warnings for each section.

    I think the only aspect which isn't strictly canon in this story is that Elvhen isn't a dead language; I will try to indicate when it is being spoken with italics.

    Non-canon episode is here: https://archiveofourown.to/works/48017557

    Latest update: 2025.09.05. New Chapter 27 added. No further updates planned (though I've updated four times since deciding it's "done")

    Summary

    Solas wakes up in the strange new world of his own making and it terrifies him. Ridden with guilt, he joins the Inquisition and begins his lonely research in order to correct his mistake.

    He doesn’t expect to find consolation in the presence of a human who wields ancient elven magic without knowing it. Who is way too gentle for an elgar’thanelan, but doesn’t know that either.
    Solas, for his part, doesn’t know how to stay away.

    Dorian wonders if the mysterious elf just enjoys playing with a Tevinter. He wouldn’t expect anything else.

    _____________________

    Chapter 1- 13 | Right after uthenera, Solas is found by a Dalish clan. This goes well until it doesn't.
    (Basically my excuse for world building and hilarious misunderstandings.)

    Chapter 14 | Solas joins the Inquisition.
    Chapter 20 | Dorian appears in Haven.

    Summary

    “Lord Garmadon will return”

    “And we’ll be ready for him”

    “Come find me when that happens, I’ll be there”

    What if Kai never became a ninja? What if everyone else followed script, not realizing there was a thread out of place? What happens when an old ghost finds a new purpose for that thread.

    And what happens when that thread choses to weave its own fate instead?

    (A Kai antihero/villain fic in which he stuck to his original convictions and didn’t ever truly become a ninja. Morro comes along and finds an explosive amount of potential in what he believes is a kindred and powerful spirit. Chaos ensues. A lot of mess and explored dynamics, along with a healthy dose of nuancing current character point I either felt were under-discussed or thought would be fun additions. Hope you enjoy!)

    Summary

    "After the war, Aang and Katara remain best friends—both hopelessly in love, both too scared to ruin what they have. But when political tensions erupt in the Northern Water Tribe and two council leaders vanish, they’re drawn into a decades-old mystery: the unsolved exile of Yura, a woman accused of trafficking with dark spirits.

    As they uncover lies buried deeper than permafrost, the line between ally and enemy blurs. The spirits whisper warnings. Old wounds crack open. And with every night spent pressed together under the Arctic stars, the truth becomes harder to ignore—some bonds are meant to break, and others... others might just save the world. Again."
