Summary
Ron Weasley dies at the Battle of Hogwarts. Death comes to collect him but instead of finality, he offers a wager over a chess. If Ron wins, he may go back and change everything.
Ron wins and respawns as his six-year-old self.
Unfortunately, that self comes with war flashbacks, a front row seat to how badly everything went the first time, and the deeply unpleasant realisation that his entire family is basically walking into a slaughterhouse if he doesn’t intervene.
(or, Ron time travel fix it with loads of worldbuilding and a side of dimension travel for funsies.)

Summary
Jiang Cheng was named for a river, but even rivers can be defiled.
He is the heir of Yunmeng Jiang, born to water. Jiang Cheng knows rot when it lives inside his own bones. He is everything a hero must not be: bitter, wrathful, ugly with wanting.
His hands are bloodied, his voice is too sharp, his body is not his, not really, not after it was made into something else. He is seen as a villain, seen to hate the pariah boy who took everything.
He does hate him. That is the tragedy.
But what haunts him more is the story itself: the pages that know his name only as a foil, a cruelty, a cautionary tale.
(In his beginning is his end.)

Summary
Shen Yuan of Proud Immortal Demon Way was supposed to be a child bride. That was the plan, apparently.
Step one: get sold off.
Step two: die quietly.
Step three: ???
Instead, the house burned down, someone got murdered and Shen Yuan started remembering a past life as a chronically ill and chronically online man with commitment issues and a lot of complaints about webnovels.
Then the System kicked in.
Turns out, he's in a story. And said story keeps trying to shove him down a path paved with suffering and “character growth.” Shen Yuan would really rather not.
Also featuring:
- Shizun LBH
- Overprotective Dads SQQ and YQQ
- A war against the narrative engine of fate itself
- The Council of Transmigrators™ (featuring Kim Dokja, Cale Henituse, and other emotionally exhausted outliers)

Summary
He doesn’t wake up in fire this time. No sword through the chest, no blood on Zidian, no smoke in his lungs.
He wakes to the bell tolling and time laughing.This time, he’s fourteen.
He’s tried being kind. Tried being ruthless. Lived fifty-five lives and died in all of them.
Sometimes he saved the world. Sometimes he helped end it.This time, he’s trying something different.
This time, Jiang Cheng wants to break the curse. He wants his husband back—the man who once held him like a prayer unsaid too many times.
There’s just one problem: Wen Ruohan doesn’t remember him.
Lan Xichen wants to marry him.
Lan Wangji is staring like he’s the moon.
Wei Wuxian is proposing.And Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng just wants a nap. And maybe to kiss his stupid, beautiful warlord husband one more time.
But fine. If the heavens want a mess, they’ll get one.
This time, he’ll be happy. This time, he’ll win.
And if the world tries to stop him again?
Let it try.
Jiang Cheng has always been hardest to kill when he has something left to lose.

Summary
Lucus Heartfilia was never meant to survive.
He is his mother’s legacy and his father’s regret, a boy born with too much magic and not enough mercy in the world to hold it. He does not beg to be understood. He does not expect to live long enough to be forgiven.
Born of myth and branded by men, he walks the world with keys that remember an empire, with spirits that would tear kingdoms down for the curve of his smile.
The stars already know how this ends. And Lucus will not go quietly.
(Or, featuring: genderbent Lucy. Natsu, who was raised by Acnologia and is a Chaos Dragon Slayer. And world building.)
