Summary
He thought he was above it all—the Cycle, that mortal strife. That he would never truly know the pain of his creators, only that which was unique to his own kind. Cursed with godly privilege, a life that would not yield before he had solved the unsolvable or eroded into dust.
It was not a relief to be proven wrong.
~
Pebbles gets Cycled. Faced with the inevitability of his death and rebirth, he forges a new path.
Far in the future, a lone courier grapples with an impossible mission.

Summary
To ascend is to find oneself untethered to this world and its attachments.
Why then do the Iterators, beings designed to seek means of ascendance for all creatures, find themselves tethered in both body and mind?Long after the Ancients are gone, the Iterators are left with only each other and their lonely, desolate cans. With one small change, their Cycles will spiral off into a new future where they may yet be freed from the burdens their creators left them with. Some will abandon their purpose, abandon the ideas that formed them, and seek a new purpose in the world left to them.

Summary
Five Pebbles was pretty sure his story was coming to an end, alone in the snow, covered by his collapsed superstructure with no way out.
The world, however, gave him a second chance in the form of a weird green thing that seemed to...
...Throw him back in time?
Now with memories of freezing cold and information on how to not only fix the rot, but also fix Moon as well, he promised himself he would do whatever he could to never have to relive this awful cold all alone.
The isolation, cold, pain, and hundreds of thousands of cycles worth of thinking made him dead set on never going through that ever again. Even if that meant ripping off his umbilical before that could ever happen.In the meantime... The rest of the local group is confused. After all, the Pebbles they knew was a pretensious jerk who killed Moon then cut all communications, but the one that came back to them was a paranoid mess who seemed to space out every few minutes.
...How odd.Series

remnants of ritual by sleepisforthebeak
Fandoms: Hollow Knight (Video Games), Rain World (Video Game)
22 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Five Pebbles dies, and then wakes again.
Bugs that walk and talk with god-given sapience, and an orange rot that’s spread throughout the entire facility grounds. What iterator could be so irresponsible as to let such an experiment waste away? On who’s grounds has he landed?
He is no bug, and this is no maze. Oh, what is a machine to do?
(in the meanwhile, the bugs look at this creature- pink, long, with too-rigid antennas and no mandibles to speak with yet so many things to say, and they see a remnant of their king. They do not realize that perhaps his kind are closer to vessels than to gods.)
TL;DR: angry calculator god in a world of bugs. Assumptions are made.

Summary
In Indonesia, Alberta, and Hokkaido, everything freezes. An invisible barrier forms around them, and anything that crosses it appears to move in a single direction without colliding, before rubber-banding back in an infinite loop. Governments panic and the world wonders who could have done such a terrible thing.
Some kids dream of being able to cast magic like a wizard. Unfortunately for Izuku, his quirk isn’t magic.
It’s Linux.

His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
Well, why not?

Summary
There was a reason hybrids between human and demon were so rare. Even a pregnancy in a normal human pairing was taxing upon the mother but with a hybrid it was more often than not lethal. Human and demons were never truly meant to breed and for all successful pregnancies there were thousands of deaths, of stillborn or infants born only to die moments later from their conflicting nature or grotesque malformations. Or of purely demonic young eating their way out of their mothers and both dying as a result.
Mundus went through many humans, women abducted to the demon world by his minions, until one survived through the pregnancy long enough to birth a child which could pass for traditional human being. One which was too demonic in appearance was no use- he wanted eyes and ears within the mortal realm. Someone who could slip pass demon repellents and could search without scrutiny into unlocking the seals holding him prisoner. Something that could slip past Sparda's notice and to search, under the radar, for ways to fully manifest into the human world. For all Mundus looked down upon humans he wouldn't dismiss a tool without testing its use first.
You never had a normal childhood.

Summary: Kore wakes up. She’s a cat now. A big, fluffy cat with no idea how it happened or why. She thought things were crazy with just that, but then she meets a familiar face under a different name and things get even crazier.
OR!
In which a modern-girl falls into the Marvel Universe and is shifted into a cat. Bumps into Tony Stark and decided to follow him home because he's a magnet for trouble and she had a bleeding heart and a low-key-hero-worship-hard-on for Iron Man.
Some mythological/magical bullshit happens later, but Marvel was already full of that before she got there, totally not her fault.

Brockton's Celestial Forge by Lord Roustabout (Lord_Roustabout)
Fandoms: Parahumans Series - Wildbow, Jumpchain
19 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
The Celestial Forge is the greatest combination of crafting powers in Jumpchain, meaning it is the greatest combination of crafting abilities in all of fiction. In Brockton Bay a forgotten side character's trigger event ends with him linked to the Celestial Forge rather than his intended shard. His slowly expanding collection of tinker abilities and the influence of his new benefactor pulls him into the heart of the conflict about to rock the city and decide the fate of the world.
As part of a writing experiment that turned into a narrative. Perks and items form the Celestial Forge (pastebin.com/35AJD9Lj) are selected randomly based on progress through the story. Ultimately an excuse to explore the technology and crafting abilities of multiple sources of fiction.
