    Summary

    A bright light.
    Blinding pain.
    The deafening sound of thunder.
    It seemed to go on forever.

    Maybe he was dying.
    Maybe humans weren’t meant to go through. That thing was designed for the machines, after all.
    Maybe his desperate mission had failed before it had even begun. In which case, humanity was doomed.

    A retelling of the Terminator movie (1984) from Kyle Reese's point of view. Includes scenes, dialogues and elements from the movie, the deleted scenes and the original script, as well as some little additions and tweaks of my own. And I may or may not make some major changes at some point, because I'm a sentimental wimp and my precious boy deserves a fucking break.

    OR

    I rewatched Terminator recently and now I have BIG FEELINGS about Kyle Reese, and I needed to scream into the void about it for a little while.

    Summary

    Heinrix van Calox would never enter the Rogue Trader’s quarters at night. She would never beg him to take her to his Knight world. And Sister Argenta would never forsake her marriage to the God-Emperor for a cold trader’s golden “equipment”.

    Yet, as the Mercy of the Stars navigates the perils of the warp, these things do happen.

    With Slaaneshi doppelgängers roaming the ship, exploiting the fears and desires of the crew, no-one knows who to trust, or what to believe.

    Summary

    Perona deflates at that. Mihawk was right. The two of them had been cursed long ago by the island itself, forced to linger within the castle and the shrouded grounds outside. They had been tasked with keeping the secrets of the old kingdom safe from outsiders, and the only way to break their duty was for one of them to find true love. So far, no one who survived long enough to even see Mihawk or Perona had fit the bill, and the island had gotten rid of the intruders quickly.

    You, however, seemed to be a special case. The island had whispered for Mihawk to go to the harbor today as if knowing that this human would be different. Had urged him to be quick so that the humandrills that inhabited the island would not find her first. It confused the swordsman, but still, he had done what the island bid him. Now here he was, carrying a woman deep into his castle so that his ghostly charge could nurse her back to health.

    Summary

    Law swallows the lump in his throat. "Luffy," he says, and he can tell the rare use of his given name gives him the other captain's full attention. "Roger called me--he called me a god. A fledgling one." He watches as Luffy's eyes widen in the silence that stretches between them, before laying out the conclusion he'd regretfully come to.

    "I don't think this is going to stop. For any of us."

    "You fix people, though," Luffy says, and there should be nothing in this world that makes that man's voice shake like that. Maybe that's the problem; they've definitely stepped outside the bounds of the world they know.

    "I don't think I can fix this."

    What happens when the world believes in you so much, that you start becoming something more?

    What if it's something you never wanted to be?
