Summary
We try because we are human. We fail because it is fate. Nothing can stand against the hands of time. Nothing can last. We live, we create, we destroy, and we start the cycle over. We build so the future will have something to abolish and, out of the ashes, something to create. We build so the future will never feel useless, and we do not build to last. That is the never ending cycle, seen not only over the course of hundreds of years, but echoed in the daily lives of humans.

Summary
All Alice Murray wanted was a lousy 100 dollar pay off for attending one AA meeting, just so she could afford more booze- she never planned on having her life choices examined by a mentally unstable and yet all too intriguing guy calling himself Hayden. Too bad, because that guy, Hadder St. Jerick, decided on a spur of ungodly boredom, to change poor Alister's life, or so Alice called herself. He'd help her get out of the drugs, the alcohol, and everything else: he'd help her find her Wonderland. With the help of his best friend March (Matthew French) and Cheshire (Chase Devonshire)...
Of course, achieveing goals like that are hard when the gang he's in (the white queens army) goes into a brutal turf war with their rival gang. The Red Queen's Army. -

“He...that was my first kiss,” Yuuri whispers, staring down at his open palms on his lap helplessly.
Yurio makes a noise like he’s just been punched in the gut, and he growls something in Russian that Yuuri doesn’t bother translating. He only looks up when Yurio squats in front of him, firmly and unapologetically taking hold of Yuuri’s empty hands with his own, intense blue-green eyes staring at him.
“You deserve better than him.”

Summary
“The first group I sent over made the Avengers uncomfortable by thanking them constantly and asking for autographs. The next group stole things to sell on ebay. The group after that didn’t even get through the front door because Stark’s security system found something in their background that we missed. The fourth group left traumatized after cleaning out Thor’s room, apparently the god had some beheaded poultry dripping blood into a bowl in there. Then after that every group I’ve left hasn’t lasted more than three days because of some problem or another. I’m pretty sure one of those assholes has made it a game to scare my workers away.”
“I don’t think you’re supposed to call the heroes of New York assholes.”
Or, cleaning up after the Avengers involves more than just getting blood stains out of the carpet and most of them can't take the heat. Thankfully the Savior of the Wizarding has spent the last decade cleaning up after Death Eaters, so she's up to the task. Nothing, not pranks, bird corpses, or unidentified slime will keep her from cleaning up.
This Fic is now complete!

This series is fucking amazing. The first two were the background to the third which had me reading almost nonstop. This is just so well written and thought out. I haven't related to Shawn more in my entire life. I could feel myself stop breathing during fight scenes, my heart sinking when Cory goes back to Topanga, my while world crashing when I learn of Shawn's fuck-ups. Just everything in this series is so well done that I can't believe I haven't read it sooner.

(The first thing Yue sees when she opens her eyes is the dark blue of Sokka’s parka. His shoulders are shaking, and Yue is deeply disoriented, but that doesn’t stop her from somehow unsticking her tongue from the roof of her mouth and mumbling,
“Sokka?”
The dark blue disappears, and in its place is Sokka’s face, bruised and bloody, eyes wide. Above his head, a full moon shines, bright and whole.
“Yue,” he croaks out. “Oh, I thought- I thought I lost you.”)
Or: In which Yue sacrifices her spirit to the moon, and then Yue wakes up. Turns out, life is so much vaster than the four walls of the Northern Water Tribe.

Ngl, I’m not sure I actually ready this fic all the way through when I first found it (or should I say that it found me via recommendation of a friend).
Having reread it in its entirety now (8/22/24), I’m so glad I came back to it. This fic is a great exploration of feelings/emotions and relationships. And also of growth. I like that the love shared isn’t simply shown as one sure thing, but as an ever changing experience.
Lol sorry for the essay! But yea, this fic was … so much and I love that 🙂
