    "His mouth went slack, and his hands began to tremble for different reasons as he beheld the single, shining sword. A treasure incongruent to all the mire and darkness of the place it was in. Luo Binghe stared until his eyes watered, while Shang Qinghua quavered on the ground, and the blackened desert beneath his breastbone felt as though it had been graced with a few droplets of rain."

    Yes, the premise is a little weird and it's not as complex as the other fics in this collection, but it was a no-brainer when I was deciding which fics to put in it. The sheer depth of emotion... Feynite is a master at writing yearning and angst - to have someone be your light in the darkness, the font of your happiness, your one and only. It's only in the darkest of moments that such a light can shine so brightly. Both SQQ and LBH believe that the other is DEAD, and they don't take it well. The angst takes you to the depths of hell, and the fluff brings you to the heights of heaven.

    This is the only fic I will begrudgingly tolerate a LQG one-sided crush for. THIS IS THE FIC THAT PREDICTED BEN BEN. I'M NOT JOKING. BEN BEN IS CANON, GUYS, AND IT'S ONLY TAKEN 5 YEARS.

    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.

    "THE MEANING OF LIFE IS THAT THERE IS NO MEANING - JUST YOU."

    Well-paced, massive expansion on the worldbuilding of canon, outrageously funny and deeply moving, characters that you can't help but love. You can tell that the author truly understands these characters down to their very cores. There's been buckets of fanart made for this fic, and it deserves every single one.

    Look, Ultrakill is a game in which you're not meant to think about much more than how to kill monsters as efficiently as possible, but it does have certain themes, and certain philosophical questions it asks if you dig deep enough - does existence hold meaning? What is the purpose of your existence? Does your purpose give you meaning, and if so, what happens if your purpose is taken away? This fic turns those questions into a dialogue between the members of its fascinating and colorful cast, breathing life and depth into Ultrakill's characters and world in a way that the source material never could. Gabriel is V1's only equal, and V1 is the only one who truly understands Gabriel. Nothing short of an entire essay could express my love for this fic, but this short bookmark will have to do.

    Long live our lord and savior, 21ge.

    Summary

    Bound by fate, a thrall-turned-Dragonborn meets a Dragonborn-turned-trophy.

    (AKA my take on a LDB/Miraak romance while staying true to Miraak's character, with soulmates themes. Loosely follows the events of the game.)

    "He will never be pure, but for you - and you alone - he will try.”

    Absolutely phenomenal chemistry, possibly the best slow-burn my eyes have ever beheld, and a compelling plot that'll have you glued to the story long after the main pairing gets together (in the first 10 chapters no less!!). PLUS there's Lucien!!

    This is the fic that forced me to learn how to bookbind so I could make it for myself. Yes. I typeset and bound it into a physical book for my shelf.

    I didn't think Miraak could be written to be such a compelling morally grey character, but here we are. Corentine's Miraak possesses multitudes way, way beyond the Miraak of canon, and he's also the extremely rare and highly dangerous "evil" love interest that's practically NEVER done well! He's arrogant, cruel, and power-hungry, but this story isn't about making the moustache-twirling villain see the light or redemption or having him make up for his past wrongdoings. No, no. Because that's a part of what makes Miraak Miraak, and what makes him so interesting - to take that away would turn him into someone completely different from the man Chrysanthe fell in love with. What I adore most is that the point of GOL HAH DOV (if you had to say there is one) is not that evil turns to good, but that a haunted man who has to choose between power and love realizes that he is loved, and that love is ultimately worth sacrificing for.
