Summary
Whether or not you've ever played Arcanum, I suggest searching youtube for the opening cinematic before reading this, to set the mood. It's basically a less-gameplay-centric jaunt through the story using one of the premade characters: female half-orc Clarisse Vorak. I'm trying to make this as realistic as I can without beating anyone over the head with the Idiot Stick, so it won't follow the artificially imposed plot rails of the game exactly, but I've made it accurate to the game wherever I can. Travel time, for example, and characters' skills. Dialogue will be pulled straight from the game for as many events as possible; I figured out how to get into the dialogue files and had way too much fun.

Summary
As the years went by, the thing Kuroh wondered the most was always, "How could it have been different? What was there to be done?" Yet, no matter how many times Kuroh tried to take an alternate path in his mind, relive the battle, the answer was always a resounding, "Nothing."

Summary
Based on the events of the first time loop in Hetaoni. The events there are left ambiguous and as such do not appear the same in this story.
"The beginning is unimportant. As time keeps repeating over and over that moment becomes less significant. And yet if i could only change it, I could end this nightmare for everyone."

Summary
What happened to Shiho was not where it started for Mishima, Yuuki.
Nor will it end there.A twist-fic of sorts, inserting Mishima into the Phantom Thieves as an active member after the events of Kamoshida. This will lead to some changes in canon and elements from the original and Royal may be mixed. Mishima personality may differ some from canon due to being an active member of events and less fringe. Will lean into the darker elements of Persona 5's storyline. Despite reading like a novelization will deviate heavily from canon at parts. May feature some spoilers for Royal though due to pace will be awhile. Featured (almost) exclusively from Mishima's point of view. Goal is to go all the way to the end of Royal.

Sworn Brotherhood (Venerated Triad) by EdgingHappiness, fictionforhire, repoughts

Summary
Meng Yao suggests the idea to Xichen that the three sworn brothers celebrate their sworn brotherhood every couple months after they have a wonderful 3-month celebration. Meng Yao is floored by Xichen's eagerness and Nie Mingjue would never admit how much he hungers for the other two. Each chapter with be a day of celebration. Various lengths and types of intamacy expected.
This is edited RP from me, Repoughts and Fictionforhire. Check the other two out if you have a chance they are wonderful people. This will be hopefully a regular thing for the moment.
With each chapter expect a mixture of fluff, smut and a whole lot of fun. -

Summary
You see da title.. idk this random ass (slight deviations from plot) vibe pieces.
The first came to me for Theo when I had this empathetic wondering of how it must feel to sleep the first night with out your mother after she dies(i think about death and the people I care for too much).
I just keep rereading it thinking how lovely it is (and tweaking it) but I needed to share it.
I feel proud and wanted to share as is. (That’s been my goal this year. To just post/share my works even if they’re not in the perfect place.) Writing this here to remind myself that I plan to do a lil tie together thing from Boris' POV the same way as the second chapter bit that Theo says after I finish my reread through and really get a vibe of how he would narrate his own story/side of things! Before and after life wise, like pre-Theo and post-Theo. -

Summary
A (*different) AU of Boris admitting his feelings for Theo once and for all. After saving Theo's life, in which, they spend a few days relaxing and getting Theo fully back to himself. And they both find themselves… in the other, at some point. 👀😅🤣not like that-oh wait..
oh, boy this really got away from me.. and I’m not mad at all!
(1st bit I left vague because I just wanted them to do fluffy corny stuff but didn’t wanna write it. So just imagine them like tracing each other all slow getting giggly from it and kissing each other everywhere till they fall asleep in each others arms. Slow n tender)
