Summary
Non-linear narrative set in my Gusu City AU. Includes some worldbuilding for context's sake.
WangXian are married, but not to one another. Wangji's followed his uncle's instructions, Wei Ying his broken heart. He's overcome his past and has become star architect to the rich, media darling, and idol to countless fans. He's famous, wealthy, glamorous. He also is a devoted husband and adoptive father, friend, and benefactor.
Wangji... not so much. He's conscientious in his familial duties, though he's cut his ties with the Lans' corporate empire and reset his life.
But the past has a habit of colouring the present, and the probability of paths crossing is greater if one moves in overlapping circles. Both of them have secrets...Series

Summary
Zim stares up at Tallest Red and Tallest Purple; at the Control Brains. “My Tallest – Zim would never commit treason –”
“We literally just watched you commit it, Zim!” Tallest Purple cries, gesturing to the giant memory screens – all of them displaying the handful of moments Zim had been so deeply embedded in, just moments ago. “That human – you agreed to help him protect his planet! The planet you were in charge of Encoding!”
This story picks up right where Canon Event left off - during Zim's Defection trial. How the hell does Zim plan to get out of this mess? Defection means death, and we can't have that! He needs to get back to the Dib!

Summary
Bobby hasn’t stopped. He hasn’t seen any other people; just trees, sky, and the occasional wild animal that scurries in the other direction.
That’s a good thing. Bobby’s not in any state to answer questions, or really speak at all. The hinge of his jaw aches as much as the rest of his joints and would probably creak like an old door if he opened it, so he doesn’t.
Jaw aside, people would stop him. Questions would slow him down. He can’t slow down or stop, not when he’s got only one goal: go home.
He’s got a long way to go.(The Resurrection of Bobby Nash: A Non-Linear Narrative and a Series of Snapshots and Vignettes.)

Summary
On 22nd November, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, is shot by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas. An uncertain but hopeful nation is traumatised and forever changed.
Two years later, Camelot remains in ruins. Trapped amongst the rubble is one Richard M. Nixon.
This fic has five chapters and an epilogue, followed by an authorial postscript.
This fic was hugely inspired by the music video and lyrics of the Japanese-language song "Ham" by the Japanese band ZUTOMAYO.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouLndhBRL4w(Author's Note: It is recommended that you refrain from checking out the song until this series has been completed, as knowledge of the song, its music video and its lyrics will inevitably spoil the story of this fanfic to a significant degree.)

Summary
"In dem Moment hebt Isabelle die Augen und ihr Strahlen haut Tessa um.
'Ben kommt! Hierher, nach Zürich, übernächstes Wochenende.' Sie gestikuliert in Richtung des Telefons.
Tessa weiß, dass das Verhältnis der beiden schwierig ist, distanziert.[…]. Aber Isabelles Freude, die offensichtliche Überraschung angesichts des Besuchs machen Tessa das Ausmaß schmerzhaft deutlich.

Summary
Anya Forger has lived five lives. In every single one, Damian Desmond becomes Prime Minister, delivers a stirring yet ill-advised speech, and declares a war nobody asked for.
This life, Anya opts out. She ignores politics, eats pastries, and lets history ruin itself without her involvement. That ends when she saves Damian’s life, and he responds like any sensible future warlord would: by proposing immediately. Now she’s engaged to the man who’ll destroy the world, and worse, her plan to do nothing with her life has gone off the rails.
It’s all going surprisingly well, aside from the constant sense she’s being outmanoeuvred in a game nobody wants to admit they’re playing.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Summary
Acheron doesn’t remember what she lost, only that something is missing.
In a facility built on control and compliance, the fragments begin to surface: flashes of pain, déjà vu, someone’s breath on her neck. A woman who claims nothing, but knows too much.
But the truth lies not in the present, but in the forgotten past, where alliance became intimacy, and every choice led to irreversible loss.Told in non-linear layers. This is a story of slow-burn yearning, mutual pining, repressed feelings, and the devastating weight of what memory holds.

Summary
An exploration of Berenice character
"She was a girl with hunger consuming her whole.
So yeah, hun, she knew how to manipulate people, how to lie, cheat, steal, stab, all of that, but she had never, ever killed anyone. Nor wanted to. Because she wasn't a bad person, she might not have been a saint, but she wasn't bad either, there was still a beating heart in her chest."
