    Summary

    Jaina Proudmoore, aka Questcraft player DaughterOfTheSea, was absolutely, categorically, undeniably, not a fucking healer.

    But, well. Anduin (LionCub, because he had just gone with the randomized name) wanted to try DPS. And who else would sub in?

    Wrathion (LitanyOfWrath) was a stone tank, and even if he had been willing to try healer, he was so infuriating that it really wasn’t worth asking him for anything, unless of course you were Anduin.

    Tess (Whichwood), in her own words, barely knew how to play the game.

    Banshee… well. If she was being honest, Jaina had no fucking clue why Banshee (BansheeQueen, introductions being somewhat redundant as Jaina only knew her by her online moniker) played with them.

    Jaina shivered, just a little.

    She might, possibly, have a little bit of a crush on BansheeQueen.

    Summary

    Marinette and Ladybug are one and the same. No matter what happens, she is always helping people, regardless of the form she takes. However, with time and kindness comes expectation, and it can be easy to miss just how much good she does or overlook what she's accomplished, especially with the current conflict regarding Lila. But no matter what happens, people can take solace in the fact that she'll still be there.

    At least until there's a battle against an akuma with the power to erase people and Ladybug is hit.

    Fortunately, Ladybug remains standing tall and ever present.

    But the "Everyday Ladybug" isn't.

    Summary

    ‘Have you never dreamed of a more exciting life?’ Sheila asked and I made a face. I definitely hadn’t. And if I had I wouldn’t have chosen to take over someone else’s life. Especially not, Elena-vampire-magnet-Gilbert’s life. I wouldn’t have chosen to maim and murder the entire storyline, but I didn’t get a choice and maiming the storyline seemed kinda inescapable…

    Summary

    “I thought you were a kindred soul, Castti,” he murmured. “I’ve overheard you talking to yourself many times before. Others have noticed it as well. It’s like you’re conversing with someone who isn’t there.”

    Castti stopped and looked up to Osvald once again. Genuine confusion was written in her eyes, and she blinked at him a few times before she was able to remind herself that she needed to respond. “Really? I don’t remember ever doing something like that.” She would have remembered if she had been talking to herself. Surely people only spoke to themselves if they had an intention to do so. Perhaps Osvald had simply misheard her. That would make sense.

    Osvald continued to stare at Castti as she forced herself to get back to her work. He didn’t seem to believe her, or if he did believe her, he thought there was more to it than she claimed. Either way, he left it there, seeming to see it was a pointless argument to have. After that, he just got back to watching Castti work, and all the while, she felt Osvald’s eyes against the back of her head.

    ---

    Osvald was the first person to notice.

    {In which Castti uncovers the truth behind the voices she hears but no one else does.}
