Summary
“There was this dream,” He said, “There were babies, many of them. It usually starts like this.” He confessed, “But this one was different.” “How, Your Holiness?” Tommaso asked. Brows furrowed as blue eyes darted to the side and then back at the man. “There was a sole baby in the middle of the square, swathed in sheer cloth and it cried.” Balancing the cigarette between his teeth, he searched for his lighter. “And then a woman appeared with a blue mantilla.” “La Madonna?” Tomasso asked. “No, la mia donna,” he turned to look at Tommaso. “But it always comes back to the mother, doesn’t it?” He huffed in amusement.

Summary
Season One picks up in the fallout of Deborah Vance’s explosive exit from late‑night. After Bob Lipka corners her with an ultimatum “Ava is out or the show is over.” Deborah refuses to bend. Instead, she detonates the truth live on air. “I am being forced to fire someone I love who has done nothing wrong. Just to make shareholders happy. Where is the line?” A line she never believed in until Ava. Deborah walks away from the show and disappears back into the quiet of Las Vegas. Ava stays behind in L.A. honoring the distance Deborah claims she needs until a simple vacation in Hawaii pulls her back into Deborah’s orbit. What should have been a getaway becomes a new residency in Singapore, and paradise quickly reveals it’s cracks. Ava watches the woman she loves unravel. Deborah drifts through each day in a haze of alcohol and denial, running from a truth she’s terrified to face while making decisions rooted in fear instead of the fire that once defined her. Ava is left trying to hold together a woman who has spent her entire life pretending she doesn’t need anyone.

Summary
Aiden is distraught. He went through so much for Vivian, he risked his life, his heart, and his decently stable future of just casually traversing over most of the rest of basically the world. But as it seemed it was all for nothing, cause she was gone. Everything seemed pointless except bringing her back for a proper burial in Romania, no matter what the remnants of the wolf pack might do to him. What he wasn't expecting was a new leader to the area, tall, dark, and annoying, but at least helpful.
Or
Aiden, now the practically widowed boyfriend, goes back to a place he swore off forever and finds a new flame.

Summary
Shane starts smoking at twenty-seven and gets addicted faster than he ever thought possible. Years later, after retirement and a long fight to quit, he and Ilya finally become fathers to a daughter named Katya. Four months later, Shane relapses.
Shane responds the way he responds to most things: with rules. Smoke outside. Never smoke around Katya. Never lie to her about it. As Katya grows up and her questions get bigger, Shane and Ilya do their best to answer them honestly.
A series of connected vignettes about addiction, shame, parenthood, and the difference between what Shane believes about himself and what the people who love him see.
Post-TLG and canon compliant except that Ilya is a non-smoker and Shane is addicted to nicotine. Work is fully mapped. Title is a play on Love in the Time of Cholera.

The Diary of Katherine Shepard by Hawkster94
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
01 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
4 years and a half had passed since the galaxy emerged victorious against the Reapers. Recovery process is still ongoing, with the trauma of the war still lingering on, physical, mental, and emotional.
Inspired by the unfinished diaries that her former mentor, Admiral David Anderson, left in his former Citadel Apartment prior to his demise, now retired Commander Katherine Shepard decides to do her own diary detailing her early life, her career, the defining three years of her life, and what has she been up to since the end of the Reaper War.
Although it might be for the fun of it or just out of boredom, Shepard is writing her diary to help find her own closure.
NOTICE: This fic is based on the ending headcanon from AHEM (Audemus Happy Ending Mod), so no Catalyst, no Mass Relays damaged/destroyed, and no Geth/EDI being destroyed either. Additionally, it's based on CEM (Citadel Epilogue Mod), so expect the events of Citadel DLC to play out a few years after the Reaper War.
I should also mention that EGM and LE1/LE3 DP mods factor into this story.

Dedicated to Stanic, as gratitude.

Summary
In a universe still reeling from battles that shaped destiny, Gohan faces a turning point. Wrestling with the legacies of his father, Goku, and the turbulent past of his world, Gohan’s journey is marked by inner struggles, complicated loyalties, and a search for purpose amid lingering scars. As mysterious new threats ripple across realities, Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta—alongside a new presence, Solon—are forced to confront not just enemies, but the shadows within their own bonds. Old rivalries and friendships are tested, while unexpected alliances emerge in the face of challenges that defy simple notions of good and evil. In this landscape, softness becomes a source of power, and the struggle for self-acceptance is as urgent as any cosmic battle. Dragon Ball Super Groundbreaking is an epic of resilience, identity, and the unbreakable threads that tie warriors together—even when family itself becomes a battlefield. In a multiverse held together by trust and sacrifice, every choice matters, and Gohan’s quiet strength may hold the key to survival.
Or... What if DB took its JTTW roots seriously—but with a Superman twist, accidental philosophy majors, and cosmic crises solved by plushies and parental issues?

Summary
"𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩, 𝙣𝙤 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙬"
He wasted his time looking for substance in that garbage fire, but ultimately found nothing.
None of it matters, so screw both of them, toss 'em in the bin alongside the rest of the broken toys—both of it can go straight to HELL as far as he cares. The only thing that counts is getting his hands on a decent cuppa, a damn tea; that's about it, and if that means abandoning the pretentiousness of the world, then so be it. Because that was what He always did. He knew exactly what was going down. Sat back, watched the whole bloody circus unfold. Only stepped in when necessary to keep the wheels of existence turning, then let nature take its course. Allowed people to march right off the cliff, heads held high, blinded by their own hubris. The world is meaningless.
Let the dominoes fall, piece by shattered piece—letting humanity stew in its own self-destructive juices, and you know what? It worked perfectly.

The Sad Yet Expected Life of a Cheap Textbook by LynxOutTheWall

Summary
Heathcliff had always longed for a better life, although he'd never expected to receive one. It was the kind of perhaps attainable dream that his self-loathing always kept at an arm's length, and yet he still craved.
Even when he finds himself at the House of Spiders, the small hope that this'd be the better life he'd dreamed of is quickly kicked down with just as bad, if not worse bruises than the ones he'd been used to.
Frankly, what did he expect? Once a child of the Backstreets, always to be or be seen as one.
(This is an interpretation and retelling of Thumb Apprentice Heathcliff and his life!)

Summary
A Baldur’s Gate 3 retelling featuring new scenes, dialogue, and deep internal monologues.
He is a master of deception. He knows exactly what words are expected of him. He knows how to mold himself into whoever they desire to see.
Astarion walks a familiar path—surrounded by the same camp, facing the same deadly trials, forging the same forced alliances. But behind every charming quip spoken aloud lies a truth no one hears.
Thoughts he dares not finish. Memories he cannot wash away. And choices that grow agonizingly heavier with every step.
Especially now, when she is near. The one who sees right through his theatrical masks—and chooses to stay anyway.
Through quiet conversations in the dark, unspoken confessions, and haunting flashbacks, this story becomes more than just a chronicle of survival. It is a desperate attempt to discover who he could truly be... if he finally stops being the creature he was made to be.

Summary
"19 is the new 13. an odd age- liminal, psychologically daunting... an extension of our 13-year-old selves we never left behind, and simultaneously a foreshadowment of the adults we will be."
a chronological collection of raw, unedited notes app prose and stream of consciousness thoughts that i've captured between the ages of 14 to currently (19). exploring the suffocating weight of the patriarchy, the performance of youth, and the absolute, terrifying necessity of freedom as i find myself.
written because my past versions knew me better than i do now, and because i like my pages wrote in and read.
