    Summary

    Gojo sat there for a time, absently running his fingers over the bumps and ridges of the skull. This skull was female, according to its rounder eye sockets and less prominent brow bone. There was a faint, faint echo of cursed energy still clinging to it: residuals left over from a long-dead sorcerer or curse user. This person had been powerful. Some kind of cursed speech user, but the echo of positive cursed energy meant they could self-heal their throat even as it was torn by their own power. Nearly invulnerable, like he himself was.
    That hadn’t saved them. Hadn’t saved any of the people who’d been imprisoned here. Invulnerability couldn’t save people from themseves.

    (Gojo is stuck in the prison realm with nothing but his own thoughts and the skeletons of his predecessors for company. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Then he finds a way out, but the world he stumbles into isn't his own. Not even close.)

    Summary

    A broken, disillusioned Steve Rogers is afflicted by a delusion that the mysterious assassin who nearly killed him is actually his best friend, who died 70 years ago. SHIELD wants to lock him up and return him to being a perfect, sparkling nationalist symbol as quickly as possible. Sam Wilson, who has wrestled with his own disillusionment and his own ghosts, knows that Steve needs compassion and the support of a true friend, not a forced regime of recovery that takes away what is left of his shattered autonomy.

    Meanwhile, as Natasha tries to track down the Winter Soldier, her discoveries get more and more disturbing. She uncovers footage of the Soldier being subjected to, and forced to commit, horrific acts to maintain Hydra's cruel hierarchy. What's more, his resemblance to Steve's dead friend is too close to be coincidence. Sam and Natasha grow determined to stop the Soldier from being recaptured by his abusers, but how will Steve react when he learns the true extent of the Soldier's torture, and the true horror of what he was twisted into?

    Is the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes? Or is he something wearing Bucky Barnes's face?

    Which of those things is worse?

    Summary

    [Congratulations, user! You have unlocked a special bonus quest—'A single mom how works two jobs'. To start this quest, you must retrieve the basket from the river and deliver its contents to safety. Be warned, the difficulty level is high, but the rewards will be worth it! (ᵔ⩊ᵔ)]

    Shang Qinghua somehow ends up with the chance to raise the protagonist from square one! Naturally, this sets off a whole chain of events that never made it into the final draft of Proud Immortal Demon Way. Now there's unexpected family drama in the Mobei Clan, a mess with Huan Hua Palace, and characters that never made it out of the rough drafts or abandoned chapters popping out. At least he got a cute baby and hey—at least he’s not going to end up a scum villain and die, right.

    Right?

    This is the rewrite of Proud Immortal Parent's Way I've been meaning to do; it only took me like two years. lol

    Summary

    Mirage could go back to prison. He doesn't need to become Thundercracker's concubine or share quarters with Starscream and Skywarp as a decorative kept-mech. He doesn't have to do a Primus-damned thing to help the Seekers save the life of their sparkling.

    He doesn't have to, but he will.

    Summary

    Ed had thought, after the whole Promised Day, homunculus, entire country harvested for alchemical batteries thing, the batshit quotient of his life would have settled down some. He really ought to have topped out the meter with that one. But no. The bullshit is just getting started.

    “Are you fucking kidding me,” Ed demands. “The wizards?”
