Summary
Han Jisung doesn’t remember life ever being bearable. It’s always been dark and dreary, fogged over like life is shielding him, trying to protect him from whatever is set to knock him down even further.
He’s never quite believed in giving up, but he’s tired. Exhausted and strung out, no hope to fuel him for another few steps.
Wait just a few extra seconds, he always thinks. That added time does nothing to change his mindset, to change the path he’s on. He’s tried and tried, and he thinks it’s simply time to give up.
Or; the story of someone so broken, given a chance to live life the way he’s never been able to before, with the help of a new, unexpected friend, even if it isn't quite as real as it seems to be.

Summary
Have you ever had a childhood fairytale so influential on your life that it dictated your passions, life, death, and unexpected rebirth?
... Yeah, that happened to you. Nerd.
So you died after an exhausting production of Swan Lake, so what? So you woke up as a magically-grown baby in an evil and abusive wizard's family, so what? So said evil wizard's last name is "Von Rothbart" and he just killed his wife and has a creepy fixation on you and the lost princess he modeled you after, so what? So you realize that you live in your childhood rendition (and totally not knock off version) of Swan Lake... as the black swan... who dies at the hands of one of the male leads to save the main character... so... goddamn fucked, you are so utterly fucked.
----
In which you, the reader, are Isekai'd to an old fairytale as a canon fodder villainess that appears for a few chapters, looks cool, causes drama, and then fucking DIES. AT THE HANDS OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER NO LESS.AKA i/we were thinking about Swan Lake, Pygmalion and Galatea, and the little mermaid too hard + got inspired while reading a techno/reader fanfic lmao

(FLASHFORWARD) November
2nd,
Wednesday,
09:27 PM"...
today was a better day. Well, Chuuya lightened it up. I still haven't properly explained to him about my feelings, and I'm being an asshole. But I don't know. I'm too scared. I think that-"
A sudden ring interrupted him. It was his phone. Dazai found anyone who had the audacity to call him, annoying. He still picked up the call anyway.
"Hello. Who might be the one to interfere in my moments of sadness?" he said, trying to sound rather amusing, but his tone was authoritative.
"Um.... I'm sorry to call you at such a late time, Dazai-san, but-" Hirotsu's voice came on the line.
"Quickly. I don't have much time." Dazai cut him off, rushing him to leave details.
"..."
"Hirotsu?"
"Dazai-san... Chuuya-san is..." Hirotsu hesitates. Dazai almost feels like the next words are bad news.
"Yes? What's wrong with Chuuya?"
"He... He's... dead."
The phone call ended.

'After the Flagsmashers mission and the incident at the GRC, Bucky decided to stay in Brooklyn to stay with Steve instead of moving to Delacroix to be closer to Sam and his family. Sam was a bit disappointed, but of course he understood.

But one night, a little over a year ago, Sam got an unexpected phone call from Steve.'
When Sam started to travel between Delacroix and Brooklyn to be with Bucky and Steve, he didn't mean to develop feelings for the grumpy ex-assassin. But between seeing how Bucky cares for his loved ones as well as offering comfort for Sam when he needs it most, it's been impossible for him to deny his feelings anymore.
But when Steve's health takes a turn, how will the two be able to support not only their beloved friend but also each other?

Summary
“How do I know?” The kid spits, knife raised again, trembling violently. His eyes are wet, angry and pleading and piercing right down into Grian’s soul.
“...If I can fly?” Grian asks, confused. His heart is beating fast.
The boy shakes his head violently, taking a lurching step forward, now only a few feet away. Something about his eyes almost seems familiar, but the thought is fleeting. The knife looks sharp. The child is crying, slow tears that barely have an effect on his voice.
“No,” the kid says forcefully. “How do I know you’re not a zombie?”
OR,
A young Scar fresh from a world overtaken by zombies stumbles through The Rift onto Hermitcraft, and is quickly adopted by the rest of the Hermits, who have no idea who he actually is.
An older Scar grapples with a past that he'd rather forget, all while trying to avoid the version of himself he left behind a long time ago. -
