Let There Be Light by alysongreaves, rememberwhenyoutried (alysongreaves)
Fandom: Homestuck
06 Apr 2014
Summary
You're not sure you can take another smile from Kanaya, knowing that after you say what you have to say she might decide to make this your last conversation ever. You spend a moment taking her in properly – her soft grey skin, her one hooked horn, her fangs that always seem to find a way to sit on her lower lip – and decide that even if she never talks to you again you'll have been glad to have known such a remarkable person for as long as you have.
No more messing around. This is it.
"Kanaya, I'm a girl."
And she frowns and you want to die.

Summary
It didn’t have to mean that she and Yukiko were…like that, what they did. Not necessarily.
Maybe the fumes in Kanji’s bathhouse had just gotten to them, spending so many hours in there fighting and sweating. They’d been tired, and sore, and Chie had eaten too much at Aiya, and hadn’t wanted to walk home after she dropped Yukiko off at the inn, and when they’d gotten under the covers together, maybe all those factors had just come together and gotten a little messy and –
Chie stands up and busies herself trying to find her jacket and her socks. Maybe it had been nothing but them both being tired and addled from spending too long in the TV.
When Yukiko comes out of the shower, Chie thinks, they’ll talk about it.
--
After saving Kanji from the TV, Chie and Yukiko’s relationship goes in a significantly different direction than either of them expected. Turns out that just facing your Shadow isn’t enough to resolve all your issues – the rest have to be unpacked, one by one, piece by piece.Bookmarked by Rockets

After one last battle with Dracula, Alucard awakens to find himself in a world far bleaker than he could ever imagine. On Earth, there is not a single human to be found; the crumbling ruins of civilization are ravaged by hordes of machines built by alien invaders. But machines are the least of his worries—the dark forces he is all too accustomed to are brewing once again, poised to unleash a terror the likes of which the world has never seen before as the sun sets and the long night begins.
What will Alucard fight for in a world without humans to protect? Who will join him? And who will oppose him?

Summary
<Welcome.> Take your seat over there, we’re going to play a game. <No,> you don’t have a say in this.
The difficulty is astronomical. I’ve run this scenario hundreds of times, and I always win. Your mediocre little grey cells don’t stand a chance!
Erika's story about her bad breakup left me with a totally different impression of what had been happening than the VN presents. I've retold the story here in a more narrative format, but there aren't any details I've deliberately added or left out. Now, I *could* just say what my conclusion was, but this seems much more in theme~ *cackle* *cackle*

Summary
I sit in front of the YoRHa Commander. Her stern gaze seems to dissect me.
Commander White is known for being exceptionally blunt and no-nonsense. In that respect, she’s a lot like 2B. Her green eyes are narrowed; her mouth cut in a tight, slight, flat frown. It’s an expression that seems more neutral than anything, but I still can’t help but feel that a part of me is withering as I stumble over my words to explain myself.
I just want to be a girl.
I understand if it’s too much to ask for, but I hope it isn’t.

"I think about how it feels to hack into a machine and control it, to occupy its body, to wear its stubby chassis like a shell and clank around with heavy metal feet."

Summary
Some days Kiwi feels like the only person still standing from her old gang who can read the writing on the wall. She's already cut her deal with the devil, and is planning her exits. But when her old mentee— and her new target— gives her a call asking if they could meet up for old times' sake... Kiwi hates that she can't say no. A few beers later, they make decisions neither of them will have very long to regret.
An expansion of events during episode 8, from Kiwi's perspective.

Summary
The Old Internet was a place where wizards still roamed. Where you could set sail in a rickety old ship and find yourself in wondrous lands. Where true names - not given names, not legal names, but handles, names of one’s own choosing - held a magic all their own. Where if you knew the right incantation, you could summon powerful beings to aid you.
It was a place where you could be anything.
Even a girl.

Summary
TT: It's strange.
TT: If anyone were to ask me now if I were certain I was female, then yes, of course I'd tell them I was.
TT: And it would be the truth.
TT: But I seem to have doubts about my certainty itself.
TT: As if, having torn apart my head in order to discover an identity that fit...
TT: I also voided the warranty.
TG: but you got your answer right

Summary
“There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”
“And the other?” Fenris demanded.
“Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”
“Merrill?”
_Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.
