    Summary

    After Ragnarök, Kratos expects only silence—grief, and the long work of becoming something other than a weapon.

    Instead, he wakes beneath unfamiliar stars, in a world that does not know his name. Middle-earth is older than it looks, and kinder than it can afford to be. Wolves prowl the roads. Barrows whisper. And far off, a shadow moves with patience.

    When Kratos crosses paths with wanderers, dwarves, and a grey pilgrim who watches too much and says too little, he is forced to learn a different kind of war—one where restraint matters as much as strength.

    A dark, lore-respectful crossover set shortly before and during The Hobbit.

    Summary

    Alastor huffed, leaning forward, voice rising with that familiar theatrically sharp edge. “Do you think I am amused? That this this deliberate avoidance would go unnoticed? That your petty games, your careful withdrawal, would not rattle me, gnaw at my patience?!” He gestured wildly, as though the air itself had been complicit in Vox’s crimes. “I am not accustomed to being ignored! Not by anyone! Certainly not by you!”

    A pause. Vox leaned forward, elbows resting on his desk now, fingers tapping in silent rhythm. And then words. Complete sentences. Complete thoughts.

    “I’ve lost myself in you for too long,” Vox said, and Alastor’s breath caught slightly at the weight behind the voice. “I’ve missed out on so many friendships, so much love. I don’t blame you. I did it to myself, really falling for the Radio Demon’s trap. You’re an enigma. It’s not your fault. It’s your nature.”

    The words landed like blunt instruments against Alastor’s carefully constructed armour. He froze, cane halfway lifted, mouth opening and closing like a puppet caught mid performance.

    or the one where vox tries (and fails) to move on.

    Summary

    Luigi was having a perfectly peaceful stroll through the Toad Market - the sun was shining, he'd just found a lovely handmade blanket, and was on his way to the bakery before heading back to his and Mario's home.

    Only... what was that sniffling noise from that dark, scary alleyway?

    Of all the creatures he was expecting to find, the littlest prince of the Koopa Kingdom certainly wasn't it.
