kissing the ground (of your sanctuary) by TrashcanWithSprinkles
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.

Summary
The one where Vox breaks reality.
He wakes up in 1932 with no network, no empire, and a Hell that hasn’t invented television yet.
Unfortunately, one familiar voice is already on the airwaves.
Alastor. Still human.
This time, Vox intends to be the one offering the deal.

Summary
In one glorious half-hour, Alastor has broken or completed three contracts, freed himself from two separate forms of bondage, and enjoyed a rousing jaunt through nearly half the Pentagram. Incidentally, he may also have shattered Vox’s psyche and his heart. But you know what they say about making omelettes; that was a price he was prepared to pay.
He is less prepared to be personally tasked with unscrambling the eggs.
(A post-canon fix-it following the S2 finale and the events of They Could Have Been Worse.)

Summary
The Might of Lilith explodes and Vox has a front row seat to the destruction he has wrought.
Except he's not dead. He's alive in his office and watching Charlie Morningstar's disastrous interview live on screen, exactly one year before Pentagram City is reduced to ash.
He can work with this. All he has to do is stay away from that stupid hotel for a year and everything will be fine.
Unfortunately, a certain Radio demon has opinions about his old pal ignoring his return.

Summary
The dust has settled after the finale. The buildings have been restored overnight (by themselves, surely), everyone who hasn't died is alive, and everything is better for everyone forever. There is literally no baggage left, and everyone is absolutely, definitely, totally fine.
Or at least this is true if you ask Alastor! Who is definitely the most fine of them all.

Therapy but it's just Zooble interrogating Caine by Sparkhearts2
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
10 Apr 2026

Summary
Remember that funny bit at the end of episode 3? Where Caine and Zooble switched who was on the therapy couch? What if Caine went into a little more detail than just his thoughts on the wild west.
And by detail I mean Zooble gets answers and its- well, like pulling teeth.
Edit: No longer Zooble interrogating Caine, as I am writing more for this. Now everyone gets to interrogate him. Yay!
Includes: hardware facts! Software jokes! Inaccurate portrayal of AI! Everyone treating the circus like it’s real life while Caine is like HeHe HoHo, I’m a funny silly video game! Don’t worry about the darkness that grows within me, let me tell you about RAM.

A Veil of Lies by Neferirkare_Kakai

21 Apr 2024

Summary
Look, being thrown through time and space isn't fun in the first place. But being attacked while already in such a situation? That’s just bad manners. Darkrai would know, of course, suddenly being on the receiving end of just that.
But at least he landed in the past, meaning he has the perfect chance to finally take his revenge on those pesky ‘heroes’ that got him there in the first place. And he has the perfect plan, this time: Disguise himself as a perfectly harmless Pokémon, get close to them, and once they fully trust him… stab them in the back and watch them suffer!
Now, if only he could stop himself from starting to like the once-human… that would be great. And where, exactly, has the original partner Pokémon gone?
(Can technically be read without knowledge of the Mystery Dungeon Series)(was intended to be crack. is now just a story with the occasional humour but also angst and too many words. and a surprising amount of character development for Darkrai. basically the Redemption Arc he never got.)
NOT ABANDONED. unplanned hiatus instead.

Summary
Leon was only nine years old when he went on a trip that changed the course of his life, for it was there he received two extraordinary gifts. The first was a pokémon: a young charmander, full of courage and energy just like him, from a kindly professor who saw potential in them both. The second was from a pokémon: a magical power of time. The power to save the present moment as a fixed point to which he could later return, no matter how long afterwards, as many times as he likes.
Fifteen years later, on the second Darkest Day, Champion Leon and his gifts are Galar's last hope of surviving complete annihilation. He doesn't succeed the first time, but no matter; he will keep trying until he does. After all, he's not unbeatable for nothing.

Summary
After the world ended quite by surprise, Ash Ketchum has been sent back in time to the very beginning of his journey with a simple mission - prevent that from happening again.
Naturally, he's also going to go around Kanto solving problems, recruiting Pokémon and challenging the Pokémon League, because it's... sort of what he does at this point.This is a version of the original fic with the opening chapters updated and revised as of March 2023. The original fic was started early in Gen 5, and so the Type Chart does not include the Fairy type.

Summary
Three lost souls find each other in a slightly different world, and from that moment, become something different. No longer thieves, they find the lost, abandoned, and broken, and do what they can to make them better.
By force, if necessary.
Or, Jessie, James, and Meowth are better delinquent heroes than they ever are as villains, and end up adopting a twerp as a little brother.
Or, Ash travels with an aspiring nurse/idol/Pokemon trainer/princess, the Pokemon whisperer, and a talking Meowth (he still owes the leader of the Cerulean Gym a new bike).
