    Summary

    One day, the stars disappeared without a trace.

    And we all know who’s fault it is.

    The wormhole. The power core. A violent flash into another reality. One where humanity is brought to ruin among dying colonies and moons built of blood. The Engineer did not just make a single mistake. He caused a collapse that echoed across universes.

    And then there is Simon.

    The Butcher. A title whispered to him like a curse. Eden. The Tree. Filament station, lost. A man condemned for crimes committed in desperation, sent into a coffin of encased steel. What would happen if, just if, the engineer stumbled into the Iron Lung itself? A portal into Simon’s nightmare of desperation.

    Summary

    Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.

    Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.

    So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

    Summary

    Simon returns as a ghost and begins haunting COI. Ava comes face to face with her own frail mortality, her mind decaying along her DNA. After finding out that the black box Simon managed to save is too badly irradiated to get any kind of information out of, Ava has to send yet another convict down, to make sure that Simon did not die for nothing. Down below a God lies waiting.
    This is a dissection of what the fear does to the mind. Desperation, resilience, cruelty, kindness, despair and hope are all found here.

    This is a tragedy and it ends tragically. I attempted treating Ava as human as Simon, painting them both with terrible mistakes and attempts at fortitude.

    Summary

    Set after the epilogue of Queen of Nothing, Jude and Cardan return to a calmer Elfhame, only to find that peace comes with its own unfamiliar quiet. Learning how to be married—truly married—requires a different kind of courage.

    In the small rituals of ordinary days and long nights, they discover how love settles, deepens, and becomes easy. Softness wasn’t part of the original bargain, but they choose it together, again and again.

    Summary


    a desperate human is far more dangerous than any dragon

    When given a choice between all he's ever known, and the wilderness beyond it, Hiccup chooses the latter. Now, five years later, he has abandoned humanity, mimicking the behaviours of his brother - Toothless - and the rest of their flock. Content to leave his entire childhood in the past, Hiccup is dragged back into fifteen years of unpleasant memories when his peers from Berk crash into his new home. He soon finds his allegiances split between the new life he has built for himself, and the one he abandoned.

    Berk is starving, plagued by constant dragon raids and empty seas. The heir to the chiefdom, Astrid, leads the expedition to find the famed dragon master, and beg for his help in stopping the raids. Little does she know, behind the mask, is somebody she's been mourning for years.
