Summary
Thy mind is sunder’d, thy flesh is bound by oaths, and thy heart belongeth unto him who claimeth passion as his own.
He granteth thee promises of eternity, and each seemeth a solace—yet behind them lieth the price: thy freedom.
Thou seekest thyself, yet findest but new chains, e’er more tightly entwining thee with him.
In a world of blood, of dominion, and of grey morality, no saviours dwell—only pain and obsession from which thine eyes may ne’er turn away.
And the voice of the Father whispereth in thy mind by night.

You cling to the belief that you can escape to a new life once all is said and done.

Summary
“Chill out, won’t ya? We just wanted to give ya a fun surprise, after you’ve been so stressed out with this new world shit. You need to relax every once in a while, Meta.”
“And you being in my room is meant to relax me how, exactly?”
“Aww, c’mon, do I have ta spell it out- “
“We thought you’d enjoy having intercourse with both of us at once.”
“Ah.” Galaxia and Dedede were the two comrades-in-arms he was closest to, so that would make sense, and he did quite enjoy the more physical parts of service. “Indeed, that would make sense.”
Dedede blinked. “You two are like… creepy twins. Ya both speak like yer readin’ out of a fuckin’ technical manual when it comes to this shit. All like insert slot A into hole B, y’know. It’s kinda cute, honestly.”
~~
Or, two of Meta Knight's sworn partners prepare a surprise.

Summary
And he’s calling Maddie like he promised he would years ago. And she doesn’t pick up, because she’s gone too. And his breathing is fast and there’s tears running down his cheeks and he speaks into the phone “It’s getting bad again Mads. I said I’d tell you if it did. And I think now, it’s getting bad again.”
But he hears the familiar voice of the answering machine “this mailbox is full and not accepting new messages”, so he wipes his face and puts down the phone.
(Or Buck struggles during season 5 when everyone seems to leave, mind plagued with images of Eddie getting shot, and it all just spirals and spirals and spirals. But at least there are people there to catch him when he falls.)

Summary
He had long since left the dance floor, but Eris Vanserra still felt the burn of silver fire on his skin.
Nesta Archeron.
She had danced with him like she wanted to burn him alive, and Mother help him, he hadn’t wanted to be anywhere else.
The music hadn’t stopped, but the moment had. Still, some part of him was caught in it—off balance, branded, wondering if he’d imagined the whole damn thing.
He should leave. He’d made his move. He'd shown his hand. Maybe more than he should have, outright turning down the gift of a Made weapon in exchange for a chance at Nesta's hand in marriage.
There was nothing more to be gained here.
And yet.or
A retelling of ACOSF, starting at the Winter Solstice Ball, where Eris decides that he can’t—won’t let Nesta slip out of his grasp this easily. Nesta, feeling trapped in a life she never chose, accepts his offer to train her power at the Autumn Court.
This is a story about choice and healing on your own terms.UPDATING EVERY FRIDAY!
All chapters are fully drafted, and I'm currently (lightly) reworking chapters 1-10 ♥ -

Summary
After Sonic's friends head out on their own solo-journeys and Dr. Eggman decides to retire, Sonic struggles to find a new purpose in his life during these times of peace and loneliness. Desperate for distractions, he starts seeking out thrill and getting into one mess after another until he eventually ends up back on Starfall Islands while stalking a shady group of "treasure hunters". Due to a series of unforseen events, the whole group gets involved in a major explosion, with Sonic becoming it's sole survivor.
The hero once again has to deal with being injected with Dark Gaia - while the last time it happened, the evil energy was unable to breach his mental defenses - but a fragile state of mind and years worth of unresolved issues which have all built up ever since then make this an entirely different case.
The weight of the past will eventually catch up even to the fastest thing alive.

Summary
Buck goes to Maddie’s place, flops down on her couch, and says, “It’s weird, right?”
Maddie gives him a look. Maddie gives him a lot of looks these days. Chimney butts in and asks, “That Eddie had sex with Natalia, or that you’re here on our couch telling us about it?”
Buck considers throwing a pillow at him, but doesn’t. “It’s a total bro code violation.”
Chimney snorts. “No offense, Buck, but if your entire past dating pool was off-limits—”
“Hey, ouch!” Buck does throw a pillow at him, and Chimney bats it away. “So you’re telling me it’s not weird at all that he slept with my ex-girlfriend?”
Maddie frowns at him. “Are you upset about it?”
“No, it’s just—weird.” It’s weird, thinking about Eddie unbuttoning Natalia’s sweater, thinking about them naked in bed together. “And it’s not because I’m in love with Eddie, because I’m not—”
“Okay, no,” Chimney says, and flees.
