Summary
Jiang Cheng is eight when he meets Wei Ying. Ever since then, nothing has been the same as before. With every passing day, it feels more and more as if he has been cast away for someone better.
He is nine when he runs away. Off into the other territories, stumbling upon a brother duo who are quick to welcome him in and even quicker to call him one of their own. It is easy to shed away his old skin, to use his saber to cut it away, revealing a new start, a new sect, a new life.
When love is given rather than scorn, just what can you grow into?
Or: What if Jiang Cheng became Nie Cheng instead?

Summary
Jiang Cheng’s breath stuck in his throat. All he could see was Lan Wangji’s mouth, slightly parted in shock, and the scream of his name from someone behind him. Lan Wangji’s eyes flickered away from Jiang Cheng, and then his expression turned to horror. He staggered back a few steps, and it was like someone had cut Jiang Cheng’s strings. The thing holding him up was gone, and his legs struggled to remember how to hold him up.
Lan Wangji nearly fatally stabbing Jiang Cheng is both the tempest and the preceding storm.

“I almost ate my brother’s corpse,” Hyuna says, in explanation, when Mizi asks why she doesn’t eat meat. She tries to say it with grim humor, but from the way Isaac flinches, her voice must fall entirely flat.

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

As far as Artem is concerned, attending this gala as Marius' pretend fiance is something that they both have to do for the sake of progressing a NXX case.
This, of course, has nothing to do with the bouquet of flowers that have been showing up in his office every Monday morning.
(or, five times artem finds gifts addressed to him, and the one that he is the gift.)

Veritas Ratio V.S. The Universe by cakecats

Summary
Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?
Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?
【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】
【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】
Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

He was completely unfazed by Ryuji’s doubt. “I can be very charming,” Akira assured him magnanimously. “I’ll have you know I’m a man of many talents. I’m sure any number of my skills will help me win him over.”
Ryuji raised a sardonic eyebrow at him. “‘Talents?’ What, you mean like breaking and entering, assault, and hostage negotiation?”
A blank, glasses-blocked stare. “You don’t think those will help?”

Summary
Shido is exactly the sort of person who assumes that he has the right to take out his petty feelings on everything else around him. Because the habit never got crushed out of him. Because nobody ever taught him to be smaller, to hide away, that this world is not his to participate in. Because nobody can stop him from doing it, now that he’s old and rich and in charge of people’s paychecks. Goro takes these moments for himself, files them away, keeps them sharp. He’d rather die than forget why he’s angry. He’s very glad that Shido makes such a career out of reminding Goro why he’s angry every minute of every day.

Bookmarker's Notes
An object thrown at high speeds breaks upon hard contact, as inertia crushes it against the surface; an object coming to a delayed halt remains intact, as if nothing had really happened after all. Reality is like that. Tokyo, specifically, is like that. The removal of a playground leads to drug addiction in sixteen-year-olds four years later. Getting fired from a job means a single mother kills herself eighteen months from now. A paper penned by a nice man in a suit who gives his daughter ice cream on her birthday and roses to his wife on no particular occasion except love and money later leads to major defunding of an entire office, then renewal initiatives for an entire neighborhood, dozens of dozens of elderly families pushed out to live in cheaper and dirtier and uglier homes, until half of them catches colds from the mold in the walls spread by the defunding of some other government department spread by some other nice man in a suit’s paperwork, and bodies are removed from apartments in a slow trickle over the course of eight years.

“Oh god, not you again,” Kaveh says crossly, cradled in familiar arms and pouting to the side that’s not facing directly into a broad chest.
“Can you not require saving for one day?” asks the most annoying superhero that Kaveh has had the displeasure of coming across.
If Kaveh had the choice, he wouldn't choose to be saved by the same infuriating superhero all the time, but it's not really up to him. Unfortunately.

Summary
“I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”
“No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”
In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.
It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)

Summary
Every morning, he asks Aventurine how he’s feeling. In the early days, Aventurine would sigh and say something like, “Tired,” and eat breakfast and take a shower without being told to. Veritas could usually manage to get a little conversation out of him during breakfast; explain to him what avenues he’d be looking into today, ask him if there was anything he needed, if he had any preferences for today’s meals. Taste may be irrelevant, but texture was still a factor, wasn’t it? And Aventurine would usually answer, even if only briefly.
Today, Aventurine isn’t responding at all.
(A sidequel to "life is for the living". Ratio's having a really bad month.)

Ratio nods. “Good,” he says. “No heavy machinery or other potentially dangerous tasks. I wouldn’t recommend travel, either. Set alarms to remind yourself to eat, if necessary.”
“Just stay at home and do nothing,” Aventurine says dully. “Sounds like a great way to fix Wanting To Do Nothing disease.”
(Those who step into the shadows of IX become Self-Annihilators, drained of the will to live and desiring only their own death. After Penacony, Aventurine's not feeling so hot.)
