Summary
Ace slept under the roses Marco had brought him. Someday, Sabo would bring some flowers himself along with three cups of sake, but Ace will never know. He will never know.
Sabo remembers now. He is ten years old and he has just run away from home. Nothing has happened yet; he has two brothers and one big dream. Life is an endless sea of possibilities. Nothing has happened yet. Isn’t that a blessing?
His breath stutters. He reads the newspaper muttering under his breath, and it's a plea, it's a prayer. His trembling hands shake the paper as he holds it. His tears soak the words until they become spots of black ink.
It's Ace. Whitebeard's Jolly Roger on his back and Gol D. Roger's blood in his veins. Never backs down, never retreats, never gives up. He protects.

Summary
“The anger never goes away, does it?” Thira murmured.
The sympathy on his face transmuted into an expression of pain, deeply felt and rarely understood. But, she realized that he DID understand. Perhaps that was why he chose not to speak; he knew that it was easier to suffer and act in total silence than to endure platitudes and infantilizing from those around him.
'Time heals all, scars fade, they wouldn’t want you to suffer.' All of it was insulting. All of it served to drive the knife deeper, to rip the stitches out. And, like a beast in a cage, with every barb it grew more and more difficult not to bite. The hatred never faded, the fire never dimmed. With every person she tried to share it with, the edges of her love for them wore away as the cinders threatened to ignite and reduce them to ash.
Thira was glad to have left the lights off. No one deserved to witness what she shared with the Slayer. Even the daylight would have defiled the emotion, no–the doctrine–that they held in the space between their hands–
Supreme, all-consuming rage.

As questions about her past begin to surface - including whispers that Dan Covey might not be her real father - Kitty starts to feel like something deeper is waking up inside her. Something strange. Something powerful.

Summary
Stone Fruit Summer Bucket List:
1) Confess to Yuzuriha
2) Make Ruri feel better
3) Get Senku to the moon---
Spending the Summer working at Kohaku's dad's shitty Stone Age themed juice bar isn't something Senku expected himself to still be doing at 19. He was 'supposed' to be in college by now, studying for a Physics degree. He was 'supposed' to still have his dad around. Now, coping with grief (poorly) and floundering (wonderfully) in the face of an uncertain future, there's a lot to re-evaluate.
So, when Taiju makes the epic Summer to-do list to end all epic Summer to-do lists in an effort to shake his friend out of burnout and get everyone back on Life's tracks, the impossible might be more in reach than Senku thought...with a little help from his friends.
Slow/episodic slice-of-life adventures about being in love with your friends, finding your feet again, and growing up a little later than planned. Updates weekly(ish).

Summary
They dreamed of each other long before they ever met.
Two children, separated by universes, tethered by the Force.From the time they were young, Anakin Skywalker and Havena Jinn saw each other in their dreams — wordless visions of laughter, sorrow, and lives that weren’t their own. As the years passed, the dreams only grew stronger… and darker. He saw her smile fade. She saw his rage build. And neither could understand why the other felt so familiar.
When their two worlds collide, the Force doesn’t just bring them together — it tears open a deeper truth. Havena is no ordinary girl. She’s sick, far from home, and unknowingly tied to Anakin in a bond deeper than any Jedi teaching can explain. A bond the Sith would kill to exploit.
But what begins as a rescue becomes something far more dangerous. Because Havena isn’t just part of a prophecy —
She’s the only thing keeping Anakin from becoming the very monster he was destined to be. -

Summary
They tell him he’s dying, that there is no cure or treatment, no options but to make him comfortable to try to treat the symptoms and pain, and then they keep him from his work for another week in the hospital. They have given him six months as the maximum, six months to get his affairs in order, six months to finish his life’s work.
Viktor wonders if it might be worth it to tell him, at least it’s unlikely the embarrassment will kill him before he drowns in his own blood. Only after a death sentence could he even consider it, but he also knows that Jayce might not come back at all if he were to tell him, that he might leave and that Viktor might not even be promised these final months with him. Better to have this, he thinks, the promise of this moment, than to risk losing it all for only a possibility of more.
***Please note that this fic was started before season 2 came out. I will continue updating this story after the airing of Season 2, however it was not outlined with the context of Season 2 and diverges heavily from it's events.***
Alt title: How to gain and lose a guy in 182 days.
Author is just like dealing with #alot - fanfic is cheaper than therapy so y'all get sad existential shit. -
