    Summary

    There are ways to change that are subtle and uncover the goodness already present in the soul of a man and then there are ways that impact the soul like a piano to the back of the head.

    Since Lysandre had never even noticed that there was a choice to be made the universe chooses the latter option for him.

    Summary

    The loss of his physical eye and the trauma of the loss of yet another friend brutally force Dimitri's third eye open, allowing him to see, speak to and interact with ghosts. The only problem is, he's so ridden by guilt and madness that he... really doesn't notice the difference at first. He'd already been seeing ghosts for years, after all, and there weren't all that many actual ghosts around.

    But there is at least one. Captain Jeralt had resisted fully passing on to the next life in favor of staying to make sure his daughter would be alright-- but he lost track of her when she fell at the battle of Garreg Mach. He only really knew two things: First, that if she was alive, she would find her way back to her students, particularly her most prized student, the head of her house.

    Secondly, this idiot kid needed help.

    Summary

    "Your heart bleeds kindness, Dimitri. You love harder than anyone I have ever met.”

    “Kindness doesn’t win wars,” Dimitri said.

    “I don’t want to win a war,” Byleth said. “I’m tired of winning wars."
    ***
    Having tried everything that she can and continuously coming up short, Byleth is tired. She doesn't think she has it in her to live through their days at the Officer's Academy again. In a last ditch effort to save everyone, including Edelgard, she asks the one person that she knows still living that might want to save her.

    Dimitri doesn't know what to do with himself now that he's not fighting. Dimitri had been fighting for his entire life, ever since he watched his father die all those years ago in Duscur. And now, it seemed his biggest problem seemed to be the nobles clamoring for his attention, pressuring him to have an heir and to restore the Kingdom to its former glory. But given the opportunity to travel back in time and stop the war from ever happening well...

    Maybe he can finally redeem himself for all the mistakes he made as the boar.

    Summary

    "Am I all right?" Rory wants to say. "I am being eaten, Martin. Consumed piece by piece and fed to the Mad God that is myself. I can no longer tell where I end and Sheogorath begins. And, worst of all, the majority of the time I don't mind." But instead she only says, "I'm fine."

    An exploration of what would happen if a character ends up trying to end the Oblivion Crisis while already being halfway to mantling Sheogorath.

    Summary

    After setbacks from every corner: from the hardware to the software to the political, Five Pebbles is finally online. The Administrators can rest, the Engineers can toil at their leisure, the Citizens can continue ignoring the new god beneath their feet, and the Iterators can get to know their newest member.

    This, naturally, immediately veers sideways.

    Summary

    Black Sapphire would say he was a fan of soulmates. He didn’t dislike them. Not really, anyway. They were hilarious to torture with rumours. It would drive anyone crazy from the twisted suggestion of a single person with the same mark as them, or perhaps one of infidelity with their partners, for all the supposedly sorry souls who never found their other half. Or perhaps jealousy, from those who had none at all. And it was easy enough to ignore the marks on his own body most days, winding from his knees to his chest in swirls of dark vines.
    Silverbell wished he and his soulmate were made to be like flowering vines curling around a collum, blending into something that made them all at once each other and themselves because the beauty came from both of them together.

    Summary

    "However strong you become, never seek to bear everything alone. If you do, failure is certain." Being Uchiha Itachi is as much a blessing as it is a curse, because most problems can be solved with a precise application of violence. Except, you know, the important ones.

    Summary

    Essek tore his gaze away from those red eyes, seeking desperately something safer, softer. He was among friends. Cognouza was seconds ago and a timeline away. It hadn't happened — it wouldn't happen.

    He settled on Jester, who beamed.

    "Hi," she said, kindly, "I'm Jester. I like your weasel."

    **

    In another timeline, the Mighty Nein fall to Lucien. Essek, with Artagan-the-weasel's help, travels back in time to save them.

    It should not have taken Loop as long as it did to realise that Stardust wasn't the one reliving the timeloops with them, but in their defense, they had a lot on their mind.

    Still, due to the delay, it is a very VERY awkward first impressions made between the star and the unfortunate Researcher when the two parties do finally meet...several loops in.

    Summary

    It starts, as most things in Oakhurst seem to, neither innocuously or quietly; with the entire town waking to a burning building and Abolish stood before the inferno of his brand new house with flint and steel in hand.

    Amazing.

    or; a series of increasingly unfortunate events, where everyone else is stuck on the outside of Avid, Abolish, and Drift’s hundred-and-something time loop.

    Summary

    Waking up from a 600-year long cursed sleep—and finding his manor and town completely destroyed—inspires a lot of feelings in Scott. Anger. Vengefulness. Annoyance. Hatred. Insatiable hunger for human flesh and blood.

    But more than anything, he is reallyyyyyy tired.

    Too tired to bother with an elaborate song and dance for the human intruders in Oakhurst.

    Or: Scott is 10% tireder when he wakes up from his slumber and doesn't hide that he's a vampire from the beginning.

    There was a cocoon on the floor of Shadow's bedroom.
    . . .
    Rouge blinked.
    It was still there.
    She blinked again. And looked. Again.
    . . .
    Yep. Still there.
    She drew in a deep, deep breath. Her eyes pinched shut, and the world fell away. She had just wanted one, singular day of peace.

    Summary

    Sephiroth is looping, repeating the events of Final Fantasy VII over and over again. He has experienced not only the events of the original game and the remake, but many more cycles beyond, stretching into a multitude of similar and yet ever-so-slightly different worlds. Regardless of loss, death, or even victory, he has been unable to free himself from this time loop – or even uncover why he is looping at all.

    Determining to find answers, he seeks out Aerith Gainsborough to see if he can convince her to interrogate the planet itself for information. However, it turns out Aerith is not completely ignorant of the cycle. Fed experiences by the planet of the events of the original Final Fantasy VII, she has good reason to distrust Sephiroth and his plans.

    This story revolves around their interactions with each other and the resulting consequences that ripple through this particular cycle.

    Summary

    Owen isn't an idiot. He knows that if Scott finds out he's basically a newborn in vampire terms, he's going to take the easy meal and kill him. So, he lied-said he had been alive 200 years instead of in a state of unconciousness for 200 years. Hopefully Scott buys it.

    Scott knows Owen is full of bullshit. No Sire would let a fledgling that young out of their sight at 200 years old, let alone out here. He thinks he's roughly 300, and is lying to make himself look like less of a threat.

    Scott and Owen have a truce-they both stay out of each other's business and don't kill any humans. But for some reason, Owen is so, so hungry. And animal blood isn't cutting it.

    Scott, on the other hand, is a little concerned at how bad at vampirism Owen is.

    Summary

    The last thing Wangli An (Ani) expected was to a) die in the most pathetic and ridiculous manner, and b) wake up in the body of a villain destined to be beheaded in a war of their own making. Of course with her luck, that's exactly what happened. Now Ani finds herself the ruthless, morally-questionable at best, leader of Qishan Wen, rearing two bratty children, while pretending that yes, she is absolutely Wen Ruohan. Nothing to see here! Everything is just fine.

    Except the universe isn't done making her life hell.

    Zagreus had insisted to Achillies that he was not the god of anything. He wasn't useful like thanatos or important like hypnos. He was just... there, really. All these years and he'd never found any real purpose. No divine calling had ever spoken to him.

    Maybe that was just because the home catalogue hadn't been invented yet.
