Summary
A bark of laughter escapes Astrid's throat. “My darling, gorgeous Bren. You're so fucking full of yourself. You think I'm jealous? Of him?”
“Oh, you will be, my beautiful treasure, when you find out just how brilliant he is." His handsome smile twists into something grotesque. "The greatest mage of the Dynasty, and only a few years into his second century. Maybe I'll finally know what it's like to have a peer, yes?”

Summary
Expositor Beauregard Lionett arrived at the Cobalt Soul Archive in Rexxentrum at 12:00 in the afternoon, her robes soaked in blood and Beholder gore still clinging to her hair. At 12:02, a sweaty, yet somehow fresh-faced, acolyte shoved a scroll into her hands and then ducked away before she could drip on them.
The scroll had a familiar paw print seal.

Expositor Beauregard Lionett seeks out a secret ally within the Volstrucker.

Summary
In a world where magic is outlawed for all but the ruling class nobility, wizard Caleb Widogast is a homeless beggar, living on the streets of Zemni’s capital city of Rexxentrum. Caleb has only his best and most devoted friend, a sly goblin thief named Nott, and his secret past.
Far above, on the immaterial plane, lives Lucien, elsewise known as the Nonagon, a Frost Sprite and an underling of the Goddesses of Autumn and Winter, his time shared between The Moonweaver and The Raven Queen as the seasons change. When Lucien happens upon Caleb one day, freezing in the cold, he is aghast that the beauty he creates can cause so much suffering. Desperate to end that suffering and becoming more deeply enamored each passing day, Lucien makes a decision that will change both their lives forever.
After begging his goddesses to be allowed to visit the mortal plane in an attempt to secure the love of Caleb, Lucien makes a bargain only to find himself embroiled in the worst of humanity’s proclivities - hatred, war, jealousy, violence, and murder, all of which come to center around Caleb himself.

Summary
After settling into your seat, you turn and stare out the window. When the plane lifts off from the ground, you crack and shatter all over again, split in half by the awful juxtaposition churning in your heart. Yearning grief. You long to see Shauna. It rocks you with its intensity. Yet, you mourn for Jackie, and the sadness slides through you like syrup, heavy and sticky and slow.
Surrounded by bloody luxury, you start to cry again.
AKA: A look at Shauna's life, post-rescue, told from the point of view of her mother.

Summary
Nam-gyu's eyes shoot open and he lets out an involuntary yelp. Any ache in his body dissipates as if it were never present to begin with. Thanos is in front of him, his lips pulled back into a smile and a familiar shine in his eyes. He's pumping his fist out rhythmically to the blaring music, jerking his body around to it. Nam-gyu's heart is beating harshly in his chest and he lifts shaky hands out of his pockets to feel his pulse. His stomach doesn't hurt, his knuckles aren't bruised or covered in anyone else's blood, and most notably, Thanos is alive.

The Background Noise of Defiance by loosingletters
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
16 Dec 2020
Summary
The Galaxy is a big place and you can find all kinds of obscure things on the holonet, including a blond teenager from Tatooine dragging the TIE-Fighter program through the sarlacc pit.
Or an Alternative Universe in which the galaxy gets saved because Luke has a youtube channel, everybody is on space twitter and Anakin Skywalker always returns to the light for his family.
Rebellions are loud and vibrant and social media is the most powerful weapon right next to a lightsaber.

Summary
Where Yuuri remembers the banquet, Viktor forgets, and Yakov Feltsman has his own plans.
“I’ve been made aware of your recent break with Celestino Cialdini, and would like to offer you a trial period where you train under me, in St. Petersburg. There are only three conditions: you will board with another one of my students, you will take ballet with Madame Baranovskaya, and you will help me coach Yuri Plisetsky, who refuses to listen to my criticisms of his spins.” Yakov nods at this point, leans forwards and looks Yuuri in the eye. “I will charge no coaching fees.” With a deal like that, even if it means he has to face Viktor again, Yuuri has no choice but to agree.- Language:

There’s a man looking up at Will, who has clearly been distracted from - Oh. Throwing limbs into the river. Human limbs. Lovely, he thinks sarcastically. Then he thinks it again because it actually is kind of lovely. The man looks confident. At ease with what he is. He’s kinda hot, too.
Or: Will tries to jump off a bridge but ends up offering himself up to a cannibalistic serial killer...as you do.

Summary
It is a quiet day, one of many. Beau walks into his classroom, now empty, splays her hands against his desk, and says, “Got something new in the archive I thought you might be interested in. Wanna see?”
Or, the past reaches out. Sometimes, improbably, it is heard, and understood.

Summary
Caleb is a fidgeter. It was one of the first things Molly noticed about him. He was always tapping his fingers or stroking his cat or bouncing his leg. Whenever they went somewhere new the first thing he did was run his fingers over every flat surface, walls, tables, chairs, windows. He was tactile and restless and never seemed calm unless he was rubbing, spinning, or twisting something.
Molly knows this about Caleb. So really he has only himself to blame for his current predicament.

“Hey Hermes!” The ambient suspicion level in the Rec ratcheted up significantly. Kapoor was disturbingly cheerful. “We’ve sent you some mission updates in the data dump, but Mitch and I wanted to personally let you know—” Mitch visibly rolled his eyes in the background. “—That thanks to some…strong suggestions from the White House, and on Annie and Director Sanders’ recommendation, we’ve started releasing Watney’s Mars logs to the public.”

Summary
“I don’t just hand out a real reading on corners and in bars,” Mollymauk said. “You want a real reading? I can give you a real reading. Upstairs, and with a proper set up. Maybe you can prove that fateful card there wrong.”
He tilted his head just a bit and his grin sharpened into something more suggestive. He could see the flush spreading up Caleb’s cheeks, and that alone was another success for the evening, if nothing else.
But then Caleb stood up, facing him with less than a foot between them, and Molly’s posture almost collapsed when that aura washed over him, sending shivers streaking up and down his spine. His tail lashed for a moment before wrapping securely around his ankle.
“Fine,” said Caleb shortly. His face was carefully blank, but his eyes were bright, fiery, and his cheeks were red.
-
Mollymauk has been slowly intensifying his flirting game with Caleb as his confidence grows that the wizard is, in fact, also interested. It culminates in a tarot reading.

A very, very AU and canon divergent retelling of Campaign Two with both new plots and twists on old ones.

Hunted by the Empire, watched by many eyes both profane and divine, and grasping at dozens of loose ends in their tales, these ten accidental folk heroes of Wildemount continue to weave their legacy wherever the threads may take them.

Summary
At precisely thirty-eight minutes past two in the morning, Caleb jolts awake, sitting up in bed and heaving for air as if his life depends on it, chest rising and falling at an unnaturally fast pace.
At precisely thirty-nine minutes past two in the morning, he has to bite down hard on his own tongue to keep himself from vomiting, feeling so sick with himself that bile begins to rise in his throat.
He blinks two, three times, trying to stop the hot angry tears that are pooling in the corners of his eyes, threatening to spill and run down his cheeks at any second. His hands go to his head, pressing at his ears to try and stop the ringing, to block out the screams that still haunt and follow him, even now that he’s awoken from his nightmare.
--
Caleb awakens from a nightmare. Molly is already awake, and helps him out of it.
