I'm just making this SBURB fan session for fun, hope you enjoy it! I cancelled my previous one because I got an idea for this one, and I had ALOT more fun writing this than my previous fanfic.

Summary
In Selpetua - a tomb-city on the Imperial shrine world of Hecate - the dead outnumber the living.
Glevedan Bulk is a clerk of the Ossuary of Viella Twice-Sainted, a quiet man with a quiet life, until a routine consignment bound for an offworld tithe ship arrives with a flaw too perfect to ignore. His small life of long days, tavern nights, and familiar faces collides with the outlandish, libertine cultural movement taking Selpetua by storm, and even the smallest choice may save a world, or damn it. The truth is right there in the ledger. If only the city would look.
By Potent Art, Such Rough magic is a slow burn story about the days and weeks leading up to the moment a world goes from loyal subject of the Imperium to bastion of Archenemy corruption. It explores the lives and struggles of ordinary Imperial citizens trying to survive not just in the face of oppressive empire, but the death of it as well.
An Aphelion Vantage story.

Me, my Waifu('s), and Warhammer 40K. Grimdark fuckery ensues. (Working title don't judge me 😩) by PhaultyPheonix

Summary
The Lord Captain is dead, long live the Rogue Trader.
After the events of the game, our protagonist finds himself trapped in a place between places, what happened and how he got there are irrelevant- although he likely pissed off the Company somehow. Now, though, he'll have to bring peace and prosperity to not just to the von Valancius realm; but the greater Kronos expanse. And, very possibly, the greater Imperium!?
But that's getting ahead of ourselves, first he needs to insure he isn't outed, and this whole "waifu catalogue" thing certainly isn't helping either..!

40,000 Ways to Die by Necronos

15 Feb 2026

Summary
Just yesterday, I was minding my own business, living a peaceful life, but I was killed by a stool. Well, who knew? Perhaps calling those guys "DoWerasts" was a bit of a stretch...
In any case, after death, it wasn't hell that awaited me, but something worse: a distant, bleak future and Tzeentch, who granted me the power of endless reincarnation, effectively immortality. It sounds good, but in practice... in the distant, dark future, there is only war and forty thousand ways to die in the name of someone else's goals. -

Summary
In the heart of the Crusades, Ava - a fierce and principled young paladin - believes in one simple truth: power exists to protect the innocent. But in a land scarred by war, religion, and betrayal, doing the right thing comes with a price. When she saves a young boy from a band of slavers, Ava becomes a fugitive, hunted by her own Order and forced to question everything she once believed. As she navigates the treacherous kingdoms of the Holy Land, she must confront not only her enemies, but the limits of her morality - and the shadows that even the strongest hearts cannot escape. Freeblade - Crusader is a gripping tale of loyalty, justice, identity, and the price of doing what is right in a world where right and wrong are never clear.

Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
The 9th Century does not belong to heroes. It belongs to the survivors.
In 793 AD, the raid on Lindisfarne shatters the North, leaving behind a girl marked in blood and a bishop who has stopped praying and started counting the cost of vengeance.
In 805 AD, a blacksmith's son in Wessex is leashed to a King who collects monsters to guard his borders.
In 811 AD, a scholar in Baghdad realizes the House of Wisdom cannot contain the heresy rising in his own shadow.
In 814 AD, the Emperor Charlemagne dies. As his empire fractures, the protective light of the Knowledge flickers out, leaving the world vulnerable to a "Tear" that does not care about crowns or crosses.
The world is a geometry of scars. From the salt-sprayed decks of longships to the limestone halls of Mercia, the pieces are moving toward a single, rocky outcrop in the Scottish mist. They do not know they are "Founders." They only know they are the ones who refused to break.
A prequel to Myrddin: The Tower Cut in Half. Can be read as a standalone.

Summary
Part 2 of Killer's Heart
***
This is not a tale of redemption.
It is the birth of something new.
Something feral.
Something that does not ask for love — it demands it.
Something that does not seek a place in the world — it claims one.
Something that does not fear the god who narrates it — it challenges her.Here, tenderness is a luxury.
Violence is a mother tongue.
Memory is a weapon.
And growing up… is an act of destruction.If you wish to enter this world, set your humanity aside.
***
The full invocation opens the first chapter — far too long to fit here, and far too dear to cut.

Summary
"Extraction complete, Pelican-1 begi-" The pilot's voice on the radio faded into static as the shuttle disappeared into the clouds.
