Mayn't Change the World by Vertumn

Summary
A better outcome -- an alternate universe in which Homura isn't too messed up and almost everyone is alive. They may not be able to change the world, but they can change themselves and figure out life as best they can, hoping they won't die tomorrow.
[Very slow-moving plot, heavy introspection. Alternating 3rd person close POVs.] [Quality gets better further in but we lose some plot. C'est la vie.]

Summary
Also known as, "Just Kumiko Pining Dramatically by Her Lonesome and Behaving Like She's Dying for 2k Words." They don't get together in the end.
Ambiguously set sometime after the events of season 2.

Summary
She knows what it is to lack purpose.
The lack of other things—unconditional stability, benevolent guidance, a happy home—causes damage, but aimlessness.... She knows both sides of that equation too well.
But they are children. They have guardians that are not hopelessly incompetent, and they even have a chance for catharsis despite their father's death. Theirs is not an inevitable path.
[Elfnein and Carol reconcile. Resolution is the name of the game.] [Multiple POVs; short chapters.] [Should read "Counting Sheep" and "Alphabet Soup" first.]

Summary
Your time will come again. Catra will not last long as Hordak’s second in command, for the girl’s contrariness recklessly overrides her self-preservation. Very few can outlast Hordak’s games and whims, and fewer still can return from such a fall from Hordak’s grace. Perhaps, even, Hordak will deign to remember Adora’s existence and visit misery upon the one responsible for losing her.

Summary
There are a lot of big, adult reasons why Yang and Weiss shouldn't get together, but Yang's better judgement might not be enough to stop it.

Summary
“I don’t think you realize,” Yumeko says, crossing her arms, the chain of the housepet tag disappearing into her open shirt. “You’ve put me into quite a difficult position, President.”
I’d like to put you into a few different positions, Kira thinks recklessly, then blinks, hard. What the fuck.
Or,
Kira interrupts Yumeko and Chad’s strip poker game.

Summary
When the audacious new student, Ryan, challenges Kira herself, Yumeko sees it as an opportunity. She will guide him through seven circles of hell—a series of sadistic games against the Student Council—to make his fall the most spectacular defeat in history. For her ultimate wager is not on his victory, but on earning a new, most coveted imprint of her fiancée’s lips.
