    A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense

    Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.

    Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.

    Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.

    All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.

    She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.

    hope not ever to see heaven,
    for i have come to lead you to the other shore;
    into eternal darkness;
    into fire and into ice.

    Summary

    Gol D. Roger saved a starving kid from an execution once.

    This turns out to be everyone’s problem later.

    A canon-divergent prequel featuring:
    – an overpowered woman with zero self-preservation
    – the Roger Pirates being deeply unqualified AND qualified parents at the same time
    – violence, trauma, found family, and bad choices

    (Canon is negotiable.)

    Summary

    Theo was having a pretty good time, see. He'd finally gotten out from under his parents' thumbs, he might not know what he wanted to do but he definitely didn't want to become a doctor, and he was finally able to live.

    And then his drunk ass decides that it's a good idea to walk into a magical psychedelic rainbow, and the next thing he knows he's waking up on a rock in the middle of the sea with his phone, a dragon plushie, and no idea how he got there.

    So, you know. He's having a fun time.

    That's not even mentioning being eaten by a sea monster and saved by a crackhead with superpowers who wants to recruit him into becoming a criminal and doesn't take no for an answer, the seafaring police force that is somehow worse than the cops back home, and the disgusting food in this world, seriously, that apple was nasty as hell-

    Summary

    22 year old Olivia Morales Sawada had worked far too hard to earn her Engineering title, having left her country, moved in with her dad's family, learnt Japanese and slaved away studying under the pressure of an elite University.

    And she would've done it too! If it weren't for these blasted meddling mobsters and that annoying baby!
