Summary
House Mooton is an old and respected house founded before the time of Petty Kings and forever residing in their city, Maidenpool.
Rhaenyra Targaryen needs a new Lady in Waiting for her third and tenth name-day. Someone with the right pedigree, but from a family not honored too recently. The eldest daughter of the Lord of Maidenpool is chosen.
Being said daughter, Eleanor Mooton is quite put upon about this.
(OC-SI. a HOTD version of so says the maiden wherein eleanor is still forced to interact with too many royals. this is completely self indulgent. not required to read so says the maiden to understand.)

Summary
What does it mean to be a Hunter? To feel desire, yes, but also a dissatisfaction. To feel an emptiness so deep, that you leave everything else behind. All abandoned for one moment of feeling. One moment of having something. Be it an undiscovered ruin. A jewel. A bite of food.
So let me tell you a story about what Hunters really are. About a type of human want that burns away all else. About a yearning for beauty so intense, that nothing can escape it.
The truth is, Hunters are no different from us.
We take anything, and we won’t let anyone take anything from us.
[A kid returns home to Meteor City, only to find it empty of people she knows. Haunted by missing memories and visions of a nightmare world, she fights to take back what she lost.]

Summary
For Merrill, the grief carves a familiar hole in her gut; she didn’t know the other alienage “Keepers” very well, having only coordinated with them for the Conclave, trying to petition for the same exemptions from Templar interference that Dalish clans are allowed. She grieves for the lost potential, for the communities losing their guides, for the families losing each other.
She grieves, and she wants nothing more than for Isabela to be here, carding ringed fingers through her hair and telling her what she has to say to go home to her.
or;
Merrill has always walked the line between respected and feared, loved and lonely. To be a heretical chosen one is almost fitting.[ 1/5/23 NOT ABANDONED I JUST SUCK ]

Summary
The woman gave him a funny look, obviously amused that this was what she was flagged down for. “That musta been quite the shipwreck to need the date, kid.” Law gave the woman a sour look, which she rolled her eyes at. Kids these days were so demanding.
“August 16th, 1491.”
Law had never felt so close to tossing himself into the sea than at this moment.
Trafalgar D. Water Law finds himself in a disastrous predicament. Stuck in an unfamiliar time and place without his crew or any allies, Law must figure out a way back home before he permanently ruins everything he has built for himself. But Law may just find that he is the butterfly that flaps its wings, causing a tsunami that drowns the world in its wake.

Summary
The light overhead isn't from Minion island's overcast sky but instead a steel plated ceiling shining down fluorescence, glass and plastic bottles rattling on shelves against the walls. Everywhere there's monitors and familiar machinery and the distinct tang of antiseptic, sharp beyond the memory sense of blood and snow. For half a second Law looks at it all very blankly and thinks, What The Hell. Is he dreaming. Is he hallucinating. Is he just plain dead. His sight-line completes the rotation of this impossibility to fall upon speckled jeans and a long sweeping coat. And the man standing in front of Law has the blankest expression Law's ever seen. And the man standing in front of Law has Law's father's face.
Underneath Law's blood-slicked fingers, Cora-san's pulse shudders.
(This is a story where the past and the present collide. Wherein thirteen year old Trafalgar Law and twenty-six year old Rocinante tumble sideways through time-space via the blue desperation of a newly eaten devil fruit, from Minion island to a future distant. Right, unwittingly, onto the submarine deck of a another Law shortly after Doflamingo’s fall.)

Summary
The surrounding villages call him Yuurei. They say he haunts the shores off the coast of Uzushio, seeking vengeance for his fallen brethren. He reeks of anger and speaks lowly, when at all. He is a legend.
The people in the town he supposedly haunts have a different story to tell. His name is Kurama, they say, and he is very real.
He is Uzumaki, without question. He is grieving, as any clansman grieves for his people. And he has a shadow—a man he only calls Uchiha with a curl to his lip.

Summary
There is no way to tell which memory is her first. If she had to choose, she would pick the eyes; they were so bright, so mesmerizing. Or perhaps the pain; the overwhelming, nauseating pain in her abdomen. Or maybe the cold…
Sage, she’d been so cold.

Summary
2396 Galactic Standard is the year the Geth Uprisings are crushed. Rannoch is purged of the upstart machines, and across Citadel Space, AIs are destroyed and their sympathizers hunted down without mercy.
A lone ship seeks safety, and many, many years later, finds it in the unlikeliest of places.
13,182 AD is just another year of peace in the Confederation of Free Sophonts. Life goes on, the nightmares of the Machine-Android war and the turmoil that followed little more than ancient history in the minds of the common folk.
That is, until a remote frontier outpost finds itself face-to face with a ship carrying refugees fleeing persecution.

Summary
“If you are lying to me,” Merrill said calmly, dreamily, considering, “then I’ll have to kill you. I can’t let anyone else come to harm, you see.” She stroked the soft fur underneath her hand, thoughts forming a plan even as she spoke. “I’ll follow your trail, find you, and destroy you.”
The spirit raised its head to look at her, eyes golden and unblinking, deep and depthless. “Fair enough.”
-
Merrill keeps dreaming of a path. One day, she follows it.

A woman falls from the sky just when she’s needed, what could it be but the work of the Maker? Why else should she speak in tongues but for being struck dumb by His grace?

Summary
And their discordant triad stayed like that—not sleeping, not talking, not moving—and they were many things then; they were the whole of humanity, they were the edge of forever, they were a three-headed creature, a losing battle, a house on fire, a sinking ship, a train careening forward full-stop, waiting for the collision.

Summary
Oscar Pine blinks, draws back by the slightest degree, shows no more surprise than that—and just looks at him, like a ghost out of its grave, twice over, with those filmy hazel eyes, gold and green, which were always too old for his face, too ancient for his voice, which always looked at James like they’d seen him fall a thousand times before. Well, now he has fallen, he wants to say; it sticks in his throat. Are you happy now?
Or: a conversation that never happened.
