Summary
“Well,” Maelle asks brightly, “what did you think?”
The pianist seemed familiar, somehow, though he is quite certain they’d never actually met before.
“His music was very beautiful,” is what Gustave eventually settles on, “but he seemed - a little sad. Didn’t he?”

Summary
"The dark waves are seething and gurgling, licking the caramel sand like a thirsty animal laps up the water by the stream; and they whisper words of wisdom in their mysterious oceanic language few can understand. They spew well-polished stones and pieces of colorful glass onto the shore, underwater treasures tangled in a mess of rotting seaweed. But among the usual aquatic gifts, there’s one in particular that differs from other inanimate objects; it is a body of a young man, pale skin shining under the bright moon light with an almost otherworldly glow."
Verso Dessendre finds himself laying on the familiar shore, water in his lungs and a ringing silence in his head. How did he end up in the Canvas again, and why does it look so different from what he painted years ago, as a child?

When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Sometimes children are not small and cute but instead creepy and cunning and also probably secretly plotting your bloody murder. The civilians want to run from them, the villains want to recruit them and the heroes want to take them in. One thing they can all agree on: these children are not normal.
Or, Shikamaru and Gaara just want to go home.

Summary
Holly may not be the son that Mama and Papa had endlessly tried for to carry on the Joestar name, but she wasn’t quite as dumb as a tack. She wasn't useless or weak, either. Nor was she anything but a Joestar at heart.
AU where Holly's Stand manifests and is more powerful than anyone suspected.

In an attempt to get rid of a long standing crush, Akira avoids his best friend for a month to no avail. Akechi Goro does not take to the idea very well and resorts to petty methods to force Akira to hang out with him -

Summary
It’s almost worse, Jotaro thinks, that Kakyoin actually means it. Kakyoin really literally actually wants to go on a roadtrip vacation to tour and sightsee with the guy he tried to assassinate and who then proceeded to beat him unconscious.
What the fuck is wrong with this guy.
Jotaro Kujo’s no good, very bad road trip tohellDio’s mansion with Evil Kakyoin.Or, the one where Kakyoin arrives to kill Jotaro before Joseph and Avdol can arrive to explain things, confusion ensues, and Kakyoin and Jotaro make their merry way to Egypt before anyone can figure out what’s happening at all.
