Summary
After setbacks from every corner: from the hardware to the software to the political, Five Pebbles is finally online. The Administrators can rest, the Engineers can toil at their leisure, the Citizens can continue ignoring the new god beneath their feet, and the Iterators can get to know their newest member.
This, naturally, immediately veers sideways.

And out of nothing, now awakes...

Summary
Black Sapphire would say he was a fan of soulmates. He didn’t dislike them. Not really, anyway. They were hilarious to torture with rumours. It would drive anyone crazy from the twisted suggestion of a single person with the same mark as them, or perhaps one of infidelity with their partners, for all the supposedly sorry souls who never found their other half. Or perhaps jealousy, from those who had none at all. And it was easy enough to ignore the marks on his own body most days, winding from his knees to his chest in swirls of dark vines.
Silverbell wished he and his soulmate were made to be like flowering vines curling around a collum, blending into something that made them all at once each other and themselves because the beauty came from both of them together.Updates (almost) every Thursday!

"However strong you become, never seek to bear everything alone. If you do, failure is certain." Being Uchiha Itachi is as much a blessing as it is a curse, because most problems can be solved with a precise application of violence. Except, you know, the important ones.

Summary
Essek tore his gaze away from those red eyes, seeking desperately something safer, softer. He was among friends. Cognouza was seconds ago and a timeline away. It hadn't happened — it wouldn't happen.
He settled on Jester, who beamed.
"Hi," she said, kindly, "I'm Jester. I like your weasel."
**
In another timeline, the Mighty Nein fall to Lucien. Essek, with Artagan-the-weasel's help, travels back in time to save them.

It should not have taken Loop as long as it did to realise that Stardust wasn't the one reliving the timeloops with them, but in their defense, they had a lot on their mind.
Still, due to the delay, it is a very VERY awkward first impressions made between the star and the unfortunate Researcher when the two parties do finally meet...several loops in.

Summary
It starts, as most things in Oakhurst seem to, neither innocuously or quietly; with the entire town waking to a burning building and Abolish stood before the inferno of his brand new house with flint and steel in hand.
Amazing.
or; a series of increasingly unfortunate events, where everyone else is stuck on the outside of Avid, Abolish, and Drift’s hundred-and-something time loop.

Summary
Waking up from a 600-year long cursed sleep—and finding his manor and town completely destroyed—inspires a lot of feelings in Scott. Anger. Vengefulness. Annoyance. Hatred. Insatiable hunger for human flesh and blood.
But more than anything, he is reallyyyyyy tired.
Too tired to bother with an elaborate song and dance with the human intruders in Oakhurst.
—
Or: Scott is 10% tireder when he wakes up from his slumber and doesn't hide that he's a vampire from the beginning.

There was a cocoon on the floor of Shadow's bedroom.
. . .
Rouge blinked.
It was still there.
She blinked again. And looked. Again.
. . .
Yep. Still there.
She drew in a deep, deep breath. Her eyes pinched shut, and the world fell away. She had just wanted one, singular day of peace.Bookmarked by AbsenceLuminous

Summary
Sephiroth is looping, repeating the events of Final Fantasy VII over and over again. He has experienced not only the events of the original game and the remake, but many more cycles beyond, stretching into a multitude of similar and yet ever-so-slightly different worlds. Regardless of loss, death, or even victory, he has been unable to free himself from this time loop – or even uncover why he is looping at all.
Determining to find answers, he seeks out Aerith Gainsborough to see if he can convince her to interrogate the planet itself for information. However, it turns out Aerith is not completely ignorant of the cycle. Fed experiences by the planet of the events of the original Final Fantasy VII, she has good reason to distrust Sephiroth and his plans.
This story revolves around their interactions with each other and the resulting consequences that ripple through this particular cycle.

My Childe, Why Do You Do This To Yourself by CityOfAngelsIsLying for Beat_Drop
Fandoms: Vampires SMP
06 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Owen isn't an idiot. He knows that if Scott finds out he's basically a newborn in vampire terms, he's going to take the easy meal and kill him. So, he lied-said he had been alive 200 years instead of in a state of unconciousness for 200 years. Hopefully Scott buys it.
Scott knows Owen is full of bullshit. No Sire would let a fledgling that young out of their sight at 200 years old, let alone out here. He thinks he's roughly 300, and is lying to make himself look like less of a threat.
Scott and Owen have a truce-they both stay out of each other's business and don't kill any humans. But for some reason, Owen is so, so hungry. And animal blood isn't cutting it.
Scott, on the other hand, is a little concerned at how bad at vampirism Owen is.

Summary
The last thing Wangli An (Ani) expected was to a) die in the most pathetic and ridiculous manner, and b) wake up in the body of a villain destined to be beheaded in a war of their own making. Of course with her luck, that's exactly what happened. Now Ani finds herself the ruthless, morally-questionable at best, leader of Qishan Wen, rearing two bratty children, while pretending that yes, she is absolutely Wen Ruohan. Nothing to see here! Everything is just fine.
Except the universe isn't done making her life hell.
"For fuck's sake, I just wanted my degree!"

Summary
Zagreus had insisted to Achillies that he was not the god of anything. He wasn't useful like thanatos or important like hypnos. He was just... there, really. All these years and he'd never found any real purpose. No divine calling had ever spoken to him.
Maybe that was just because the home catalogue hadn't been invented yet.

Summary
“Why are we even here?” Wen Xu groused.
“Yeah! That’s right! Why are we here?” Wen Chao immediately chimed, very obviously taking his cues from his elder brother – much to the latter’s irritation, judging by his immediate scowl.
Lan Qiren knew that he needed to pick his next words very carefully. With recalcitrant students, a teacher only had a few opportunities to really connect with them. If he allowed them to dismiss him or categorize him as an enemy at this early stage, it would be an incredibly uphill battle to gain enough respect in order to teach them anything, and in this case, given the strength of their background and the fact that this little teaching session was both likely to be short and definitely completely unauthorized, it would quite possibly make it completely impossible to ever get through to them.
“You are here,” Lan Qiren said solemnly, each word slow and thoughtful, “because your father is an ass.”
(a story of kidnapping and falling in love, reluctantly)
