  1. Summary

    One simple idea that changes everything: Ariadne, audience avatar, is a plant. Dr. Stephen Miles places her - a twenty-six-year-old architecture student and polymath - on Cobb's radar as insurance, security, backup, and (of course) builder.

    She thinks she's ready for dreamshare, based on what she's read.

    Yeah, not even close.

    (Canon-compliant, insofar as interpolating an entire new plotline and spinning the perspective can be considered "compliance".)

  2. Summary

    Yuri Plisetsky narrates the making and aftermath of Welcome to the Madness; Otabek Altin narrates his GP series; over the rest of the season and the year following, the two figure out this whole friendship thing, learn what it is to win (and lose), navigate celebrity, identity, and messy young romance, and determine by trial and error how to weather the PR whirlwind that is Viktor Nikiforov (because Katsuki Yuuri is actually just a treasure). Features Otabek's younger sister (a musical prodigy named Feruza), his coach Karim Sarper, and a lot of thrash metal.

    Summary


    Wooyoung remembers.

    Time is not what it seems. Yeah. It's weird. No beginning or and end. Maybe no one actually dies because of this. Time never ends after all how the fuck am I supposed to know?

    Mum always said that he is always the odd one out in the family. Wooyoung knows why. He also doesn't. He just remembers.

    Remembers. Remembering. Remembered.... Maybe that's why he meets Sannie. Maybe that's why they are together now. Maybe that's why of them are here, gathered around this warehouse, spending their first and last happiest times. It is only a matter of when that happens.

    But Wooyoung knows, he will, on days of the spring rain flowing into streams, seeping into the rock and down to the cliff in the valley, where the soft touches linger and the heat rushes through his body—always, no matter how long it has been, waiting for him.

    OR

    Inspired by the "Traitor Wooyoung" theory, but Wooyoung is not actually a traitor.
