Summary
Watcher campaign spoilers!
The fabric of reality distorted around his body in a dark blue trail. His gift tore at the weave of space and time, leaving scars through which another world, alien to all materiality, peered out. The slugcat could glimpse into it, could traverse the underside of reality and return back, could stitch a direct line between two different "wheres" and "whens" — but through these rifts, something else now followed at his heels.
Too late, he realized his gift had become a curse.

Summary
Beware of spoilers!
Ткань реальности искажалась тёмно-синим шлейфом вокруг его тела. Его дар рвал полотно пространства и времени, оставляя на нём шрамы, откуда выглядывал иной, чуждый всему материальному мир. Слизнекот мог туда заглянуть, мог пройти по изнанке реальности и вернуться обратно, мог прошить прямую линию между двумя разными «где» и «когда» — но сквозь эти рукава за ним по пятам следовало что-то ещё.
Слишком поздно он понял, что его дар обернулся проклятием.

Summary
They could never understand how close he was, close to the solution, to true freedom. In one fell swoop, they ruined it all for him. Fine, he would fix this himself, he did not need them. He did not need his friends, he always preferred to work alone, it helped himself focus.
With nothing but time, Pebbles is determined to find the solution to the Rot.
Now, if only the local rodent would stop bothering him...

(Announcer voice) Now introducing; the reprehensible, the unforgivable, the thoughtless SRS!!! (Stupid Reckless Sinner) by CisntCritter

Summary
Pebbles kills their overseer and Suns is frozen.
Wind told Suns of the fate Pebbles has been doomed to and they tried to make a plan.
Pebbles told suns of his desperation.
Suns sent a second message to Pebbles.
Suns is no longer frozen but they break.
And nobody will be able to forgive them for his. Certainly not themlseves.
Aka a nonlinear oneshot telling of Suns angst during the events of RW canon. Inspired by my “you will never never never forgive yourself drawing” (posted to my tumblr) and Omori from the Omori soundtrack.
Angst all the way down with this one, mostly just playing with headcanons and characterization becuase I decided I needed to write some simple angst.

Summary
(So I lay there waiting for him to hate me.)
Five Pebbles was comfortable in his fate. Was it grim, and tragic? Yes. Was it all that he deserved? Also yes.
So why did everyone else insist on trying to drag him away from the life he had finally accepted?
No Significant Harassment is tired of Five Pebbles' excuses. Whether he likes it or not, the other will face all that he left behind.
No longer will they ignore the problem and hope it gets better.

Doomed from the start? Let’s test that theory. by CisntCritter

Summary
Iterators, godlike in comparison to most creatures. They were simply made to be more than anything else that came before them in most ways. However, they still are living creatures caught in the cycles of their world. And, crucially, they are still people. As people, they break and suffer and lie and love. As people, they live and die… they still question.
Fivepebbles spent an excruciating amount of time sitting in his own dying body, waiting for the end as he lost more and more. In that time where he was both living and dead, he began to question.
Was he doomed to end this way form the start. But he ends up gasping against the feeling of it all returning to him and realizes he’s been sent back in time. He keeps his condition from going public and vows to change a few things- but can anything truly change his fate? Or is he genuinely that doomed by the narrative?
Aka- My take on the “Pebbles goes back in time/cycles” concept. Planned out about a year ago but rewritten (and/or written for the first time for at least half the chapters) but I decided it’s time to at least start sharing it. This will explore Pebbles as a character, fate, endings, relationships and change- hopefully for the better.

If this is healing why do I feel so wrong? by CisntCritter

Summary
Five Pebbles spent an incomprehensible amount of cycles alone with the rot inside of his body. The feeling of being eaten alive was his company for a long long time and even when he was granted the ability to free himself from his Can and reunite with those he cared about, the journey was full of its own pains.
His body, or at least what's left of it, has finally been allowed to heal. He should be relieved-
Instead, he feels untethered and broken in its absence. He isn't able to think or stop himself until he is discovered with ichor-stained clothing.
aka- A one-chapter fic (that could be expanded if ppl want to see it) that I wrote on a plane ride almost a year ago after thinking too much about how much it would fuck someone up to be in constant and horrible pain for the centuries Pebbles might have been that I reread, realized I still liked, and am now forcing my brain to let me post.
TW/CW for Self-harm, suicidal ideation, pain and body horror- Pebbles is NOT in a remotely healthy place physically or mentally for like this whole thing
