Summary
The Law of Cycles reaches down. It does this always, that’s what it’s for, and what it is. As mundane as hope springing from a warzone, or the law that a small thing forever be drawn to something of sufficiently greater mass regardless of how far it’s thrown. It is not unused to touching that it reaches down for. It is not unused to the things it reaches down for shivering, in fear, rage, or ecstatic relief as the law rests its fingers against their hearts. It is not unused to how easily their bodies shed away from their hearts when the Law collects them, little more than a long abandoned shell. All of these things are as natural as it is.
It is not, however, prepared for somebody to reach back.
Homura Akemi takes it by the hand, plants her feet against its chest, and pulls. A sliver comes free, and dances off into the dark. It will take a long, long time for the Law to wonder where it’s gone.
It is much more interested in the novel sensation of heat flooding its chest. Searing and urgent. It runs a hand down the fissure and watches something wet and bright bubble through its fingers. This, it decides, must surely be love.

Summary
If asked, you probably wouldn’t say you were smarter than other people, because that would be rude. You had been raised better than that. But you did know that, through some twist of luck, by seeing a few things you shouldn’t and falling in with the right internet boards, that you did know more than them. That you could see things other people couldn’t.
You had been lied to- were still being lied to- by everyone. From the cia to the mayor to the lady down the street who walked dogs commercially and stared at you whenever you left your house. You’d been taking notes on all of it, and the cork boards in your garage had been immensely helpful for keeping track of it all. Hell, you’d even nearly finished putting together your complete picture!

Madoka’s jaw untensed. “Y- yeah! Just having a weird dream, you’ll wake up soon, and your arm’ll be okay and-”
Hitomi kissed her.
Madoka made a very cute noise before kissing back, which was how Hitomi knew it must be a dream.

Summary
Ayla hurt.
The horse beneath her was running hard enough to jar her ribs and the person behind her singlehandedly keeping her sack of potatoes ass half upright was squeezing too hard.
Her breath was ragged and shaky and made the pain worse and she wanted to scream. It was immensely, immensely unfair that she couldn’t. She needed to be quiet. And even above her own uncontrolled noise she could swear she could hear the footsteps behind her.

Summary
God was faithful. That was the first thing it had ever known about itself, when its first worshipper had carved it from stone and afterwards looked at it with an expression it never would forget. It had known it would do anything, anything at all, to protect its creatures, and to see that raw awe on the faces of its devout again.
God was proud. Why wouldn’t it be, when it could break that which its devout desired between its palms, when it was so good at it? It had held its sword in its hand since the day it had been broken from that rock and moved with it like a thundercrack.
God was, for the first time in its existence, curious.

Summary
The literature club is a safe space for Natsuki. It's a retreat from all the problems elsewhere in her life. At least until her "friend" Yuri started to act increasingly strange and weird around her. It's like she's suddenly become obsessed with her or something. Natsuki doesn't quite know how she should react to this development, especially when Monika is acting like nothing is wrong at all.
Inspired by the Bittersweet AU by @punkcorpz on Twitter
(What if in Act 2 Monika made Yuri obsessed with Natsuki so that she can have the MC all to herself)Bookmarked by Tale_Smith
