    Summary

    When Seraphina took on John in his Aura Tyrant state, their equally-matched time manipulation echoed across the entire trapped campus. She was content to stay with John forever…but as the temporal barrier closed in on the two of them, their abilities clashing brought with it an unexpected development.

    Now, John and Seraphina are back at John’s first day in Wellston.

    This is a Time Travel AU of my fic “Double Negative”, diverging from Chapter 40.

    Summary

    Life in Wellston was going so well for John. He may have gotten into the occasional fight, but his facade has been intact, he has a god-tier best friend, and his life is set…but suddenly, an unexpected shadow from his past comes to threaten his entire facade. It’s fine! He can ignore her, he can avoid her, he can- and Seraphina’s been suspended. Well, shit.

    Elizabeth was the Queen of New Bostin. Her loyalty to John was always ingrained in his power, even going so far as to scorn Zirian in the end…but one week after John’s expulsion from New Bostin, she was expelled herself. After facing the same readjustment classes John did, she hasn’t emerged unchanged…and not in the way that the authorities would want.

    The latest in my series of unOrdinary AUs! “Double Negative” worldbuilding is canon here, but you don’t need to read that story to read this one. This is just a fun idea I had for a story.

    Summary

    Summary

    UnOrdinary is a story about a powerful person in a world of cripples. He uses his ability to help others. He is charitable, treats everyone well, he is loved, and when he dies, he is missed. Unlike canon, John understands the moral his Father was trying to pose to him…

    It changes nothing.
    And yet, it changes everything.

    Summary

    What if Jaden never put Yubel on the KaibaCorp Capsule? What if he had learned about his past life earlier? What if he made a deal with Yubel?

    In this fic, Jaden attends Duel Academy with a deck unlike the one in canon. Jaden dreams not to be the King of Games, but a young man worthy to wield the Gentle Darkness. So he seeks to make friends, duel well, and go far…even if he has to grapple with his easily jealous Duel Spirit Girlfriend.

    Featuring a new deck, a slightly altered canon as time goes on, and something I feel Yu-Gi-Oh fics are sorely lacking: a story with ACTUAL DUELS in it! Including a few fanmade cards ;)

    tw: This fic uses dub names. Also, for the sake of this fic, Yubel was a child when she was turned into a Duel Spirit and became sentient when she reunited with Jaden. They have essentially grown up together from that point, to mitigate any worries about an age gap as much as possible.

    Summary

    There are plenty of paths that wind and weave through the branches of fate. Just the smallest change can create the largest cascading effects. I implore you, take a seat and ready this tale about a talented silver-eyed girl, her team made up of those she is stranger to, and the adventures they take on together.

    Ruby Rose will have to grapple with being the leader of Team RNJR, her rivalry with the leader of Team WYBP (Wisp), Weiss Schnee, the growing tension across the school, and maybe one day she’ll save the world.

    Of course, people will also have to adapt to the strangely powerful Ruby Rose…

    This story will contain bits and pieces of headcanons and aus that I’ve written into other fics, but this fic isn’t part of any of those aus, and the ocs are not the same versions of those characters, so this can be read standalone. We’ve got an origin for the Glyphs, further world lore, reimagined plot elements, and of course, my personal staple, some eldritch Ruby Rose! I hope you enjoy it.

    Summary

    “If this is the Honmoon I'm supposed to protect, I'm glad to see it destroyed.”

    Rumi would never consider herself a villain. She doesn’t want to commit genocide to humanity, but no longer does she want to do the same to demons. Even so, she feels hurt. Hurt that everyone she’s ever loved has turned on her, in some way, shape, or form. She’s equally hurt HERSELF for turning on those she’s always been closest to.

    Rumi doesn’t fit anywhere anymore…so now, it’s time to go solo.

    (This songfic uses a song from Derivakat (my personal favorite musical artist) in each chapter. Please support her and enjoy her music as much as I do!)

    Summary

    Three months before the events of “unOrdinary,” the countryside outside of Wellston witnessed a beautiful array of shooting stars. Some of them twinkled with lights unfamiliar to starlight! An astronomical wonder. Some even think they saw it crash to the earth…but soon, the strange wonder was forgotten, just another strange event for urban legends.

    Moments after falling into the void under the bridge, Team RWBY, Jaune, and Neo crash land in a world unfamiliar to them…yet, oddly familiar. Semblances are known as “abilities,” aura has a completely different definition, and the moon is intact.

    This fic is inspired by “No longer who we used to be” by Moxy125! Of course, I expect this to take a vastly different direction. There will also be hints of my “Double Negative” unOrdinary AU, but you don’t need to read it to understand this.
    This fic also crosses over with a post-canon version of the Ruby ROWSE AU starting Chapter 52. You don't need to read it to enjoy this fic. This fic will not contain spoilers for yet-to-be-written chapters of that au.

    Summary

    She’s been beaten. The fight between Spring and Fall Maiden led to Cinder plummeting below, frozen in place. Her aura is broken as she crashes down into the water, and it’s only her sheer determination and burning power within her soul that gives her the strength to crawl out of the pool and break free of the mountain.

    She’s found, and the only thing she can feel is the woman’s fear. Her eyes blaze, ready to take everything she has and more…but she’s tired. With no aura and the exhaustion of what she’s already done, Cinder collapses to the ground. Her final conscious thoughts are of her hate for Ruby Rose, and she bitterly knows that her power will wind up in that girl’s hands…

    Until she wakes up. She’s not dead. Now, Cinder has to find a way to continue on in life while plagued by the incessant kindness of her apparent savior.

    Summary

    It’s been 10 years since Team Plasma was defeated for the second time. Unova has known peace, and the people are getting ready for yet another Gym Challenge! It’s become a televised event across Unova, not quite as officially sporty as Galar, but the various challenges the gyms put their challengers through make for good television. Not to mention that Champion Iris has finally stepped down, and it’s the first challenge of the region’s brand-new champion!

    However, our five heroes are more than the gym challenge. Contests, research, heroism…our heroes come in all shapes and sizes…quite literally.

    I’ve been a fan of the Pokémon franchise for almost as long as I can remember. When I was young, I wanted to try my hand at making a Pokémon game, but with no art skills or game-making experience, I had no idea where to start. So now, I’ll give you the next best thing: a story.

    Welcome to Pokémon Vantablack, a story filled with original characters, references to old Pokémon storylines, and new pieces of canon aimed at making the Pokémon world a little more interesting than it already is. Chapter 1 is the Concept outline, but it contains no spoilers.

    Summary

    Garnet used to pride herself on being the keeper of the Future’s Map, and steering the course toward the direction they wanted. She may not have been omnipotent, but what she had was enough. That is, until Steven, and the influence he had.

    Or: 5 times Garnet couldn’t predict the future, and one time she could.

    Summary

    This chapter will be a future one for the Sugar & Spice AU that's the first in a special arc: Timetagger!

    Those of you who haven't seen the AU yet, give this a read and see if you like expanded lore and new characters!

    Summary

    When Brendan needs a mental health break from DMing, he calls upon a DM buddy of his to run a game for the Table Titans and the Dungeon Dogs…er, except no one told him he was supposed to do it SEPARATELY.

    It’ll probably be fine.

    (ao3’s first Table Titans fanfic, apparently, and this will probably just be self-indulgent)

    Summary

    Gabriel Agreste had won. By creating Ephemeral, Gabriel Agreste brought forth the end of the world by uniting the Ladybug and the Black Cat Miraculous, summoning the almighty power, and wiping out this world to make a new one. Full of hate in his heart and fear of Ladybug, his deepest wish was far crueler than even he thought…but regrets are for the weak.

    Yet Marinette will quickly realize that in a life of sadness and despair, one Guardian Angel will be all she needs to keep living.

    My take on the “Dad!Villain AU” and “Villains AU” universes by bigfatbreak with a twist! Part of my growing collection of Miraculous AUs with similar themes and character arcs. You don’t need to have read any of my fics to enjoy this one.

    The Main Characters in this fic are Lycee / High School age, not College / Middle School age.
