Summary
"There is something I must return to Malenia. The will that was once her own. The dignity, the sense of self, that allowed her to resist the call of the scarlet rot."
Sorrowful at Millicent's passing, a rather wise Tarnished makes an attempt to fulfil his protégée's last wish.
[Functionally complete; presently in an epilogue in the Realm of Shadow]

Summary
“Some days are harder than others. Some days Amelia questions if any of this is real. Some days Cooper can’t help but break down and cry. Amelia was never any good at comforting people, but she tries her best for him. She’ll be his shoulder to cry on, she’ll stroke his hair, she won’t ask him about what happened in Gargantua.
Some day she’ll ask, but not now.“
or: snippets of Amelia and Cooper’s time on Edmunds Planet

Daphne Greengrass and the Preemptive Adulterer by ScribblingSteve
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
01 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
Harry doesn't necessarily expect a polite "thank you" after saving Daphne Greengrass and her younger sister from falling to their deaths, but he definitely doesn't expect the stream of verbal and magical curses he gets instead. His surprise is nothing compared to hers when her curse fails, though, and that discovery propels the two into a whirlwind week of legal loophole abuse, awkward lust, and weaponized Pureblood etiquette lessons.

Summary
The Others have been defeated, and Jon Snow can finally set aside duty for the shattered remnants of his family.
Then he wakes in the Vale as seven-year-old Jon Redfort, fifteen years before the Dance, with a twin brother who looks like Daenerys and also remembers a different life.
(Or: A study in Daemon Targaryen becoming increasingly feral about the two bastard sons he didn’t know he had.)
(Or: Jon has two dads, and one is his twin brother who is five years younger than him. This makes sense, I swear.)

Some say the gods play strange and cruel games, a sentiment Aemon Snow can attest to all too well.
The brewing discontent of 282 AC found itself all but snuffed out with the return of one of the Seven Kingdoms' most bitter enemies: The Shivers. Be it cruel kings or righteous peasants, all felt the loving embrace of its ghastly mercies.
But as the bards sing: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

It was the considered opinion of Lady Naerys Targaryen, the "Princess of Dragonflies" so named for her father Prince Duncan "the Small" Targaryen, that being reborn into Westeros was bullshit.
Death was supposed to be peaceful: she would like a refund please.

Summary
You died. Game over.
Loading…
No save state found. Files corrupted.Overwriting files. Restarting the game.
Working with Harry's limited 90s-era video game knowledge, there are no lists of stats or easy level-ups. Instead, this is a dark and nihilistic take of what happens when a man learns that 'saving' and 'loading' result in a world without consequences.

Summary
Class 3-2 did not expect at all that their teacher for the most intricate of Shinobi arts was the same age as them. Neither did they expect to learn a lot in the next two weeks.
"Shinobi rule number 47: Assume that your enemy knows something you don't. In this case, your enemy is me," Naruto-sensei said, and he slammed his glowing palm on the ground. The world, as Sasuke saw it, imploded.
