    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    u·ro·bo·ros

    a circular symbol depicting a snake, or less commonly a dragon, swallowing its tail, as an emblem of wholeness or infinity.
    -⥀-
    When Yuji eats Sukuna's finger, he is alone in his own body. There is no Sukuna, no voice in his head, or other soul in his body. But that does not stop the curse's influence from taking hold of him.

    Maybe there was no Yuji Itadori in the first place.

    Maybe there was always only Sukuna.
    -⥀-
    ( Or Yuji is Sukuna's reincarnation)

    Summary

    Patience is something Kenjaku had in ample amounts. It’s something that comes with time. Collecting enough cursed energy to set off evolution does not happen overnight after all. However, kenjaku didn't account for how boring and idle domestic life was.

     

    A whole lot of spoilers in here

    Summary

    It’s funny how one seemingly insignificant action can change the course of history forever. Like the buzz of a busy worker bee. Or the cry of a lone stray cat. Or even the act of turning one’s head.

    The butterfly effect, it’s called. And believe her, Riko would know. On that fateful day, it’s what saved her life.

    — — —

    What if Riko Amanai wasn’t shot by Toji Fushiguro? What if she defied all odds and survived? What would that mean for Gojo and Geto? Just how much would that change the course of the future?

    Summary

    Suguru was confident about a lot of things. He was a strong sorcerer, second to none other than Gojo Satoru. He preferred the cold over the heat and enjoyed a good bowl of soba. His favorite color was blue. What Suguru was not confident about was the mysterious ways the heart worked.

    or suguru realizes that he is in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    The boy shifts on his feet. “The year is two thousand and eighteen? Common Era?”

    Slowly, smile still plastic on his face, Suguru faces Satoru. This fucking dumbass. “Satoru,” he says, dangerous edge to his voice, “what did you do?

    Satoru makes some bastardization of a sound, half between a laugh and a cough. “...Whoops?”

    “I,” Suguru grits, pinching two fingers together, “am this close to mass murder.” He’s joking. Probably.

     

    ///OR: Shortly before Getō would have massacred a village, he and Gojō are thrust eleven years forward into a would-have-been future that Getō is conspicuously absent from.

    Summary

    With her 'career' as an artist on hold (can it be called a career if she'd never been paid to do it...?), Ruby takes a job helping on set for an upcoming blockbuster movie. Her new role consists of a bit of everything, but her most important task is keeping the film's star, Weiss Schnee, happy. Easy, right? Yeah, no.

    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Summary

    One small decision on a fateful day was enough to change the lives of an entire City. A singular decision, so quick and hurried, and yet it changed the world we knew beyond recognition. In this new, better City following a world where The Lobotomy Corporation simply never needed to exist, one must wonder what has befallen our cherished protagonists.

    Perhaps they'd gone on grandiose journeys, or built up a reputation only legends dare dream of, perhaps they'd even melted into the Citylife once again, shaping it when the world now cared for their decisions, hopes and dreams instead of kicking them down, supporting one another. For some, such assertions were an underestimation of the glory they'd now seek and gain from their attempts to better the City.

    Although for most, reality was rarely so interesting.

    Venture into the daily and daring life of Ayin, Carmen, and the family they built in this new, beautiful world, facing such challenges as the laundry, the dishes, parenthood, and the many, many different stains that such a life leaves on their carpets.

    A small, half-CrackFic Alternate Universe that I've made purely for the joy and happiness in it. Now with 50% less angst than in my other works!

    Summary

    I’d like to start the fic with a teaser from the JRA. This is the entry for Dantsu Flame, G1 Winner of the 2002 Takarazuka Kinen

    “If you're worried
    About not being able to stand in the center,
    I want to ask you this

    Even if it was on the edge or the back of the stage,
    You would have performed with your life on the line, right?
    With your current abilities,
    You left the best possible results, right?

    Then there's no need to be pessimistic.
    I've got a big role lined up for you next time.
    For you, the opening bell will ring.”
