Summary
Konoha sits locked up behind the Wall, built as a bulwark against the invading, otherworldly forces known as bijuu. Doctor Kabuto Yakushi, born into a world fighting an unwinnable war, does as most ordinary people do: he doesn't think about it.
After taking on a live-in position as physician to a reclusive naturalist, he's expecting to treat chemical burns and animal bites, at worst. Orochimaru's servants are unpleasant; his sickly ward's deterioration kept at bay by experimental chemical treatments. Orochimaru himself is enigmatic, compelling, and—one month into Kabuto's service—plagued by a strange injury that refuses to heal. Denied answers at every turn, Kabuto takes matters into his own hands. What he finds is something that threatens to consume Konoha entirely from within—if it doesn't consume him first.
(Formerly, The Doom That Came to Konoha)

Summary
Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan Riley never had, until one day he disappears, and Stefan has to adapt to life without him. But, one year later, when he runs into a girl who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He discovers that other boys have disappeared, too, dozens over the years, most of them students of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, many of them troubled or unruly before their disappearance.
What is happening to these boys? Who are the handful of women on campus who bear a striking resemblance to some of those who went missing? And what is the connection to the mysterious Dorley Hall?
Stefan works hard to get into the Royal College for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too.
(A closeted trans girl attempts to infiltrate a secret underground forced feminisation programme.)

The Soothsayer just wanted to help.

Summary
Spoilers. A Kabuto short, set before and during the three year break. The nature of a tool is not to question, but Kabuto's been a lot of different things anyway.

Summary
Jayce and Viktor vanish from the roof of the Hexgate and reappear thirty years later completely unchanged: Jayce still bruised and broken, Viktor still behind the Machine Herald's mask.
Meanwhile, the twin cities of Piltover and Zaun have continued on without them. Science and magic meet in startling ways, the dead rise, and foreign political powers threaten to undermine the work done to recover from the battle three decades prior. Veteran champions struggle to protect the city's foundations while young, upstart rebels fight to determine its future. The waters are rising, the forests are evolving, and the peoples of Runeterra are finding new ways to make old mistakes.
And, in the middle of it all, Jayce and Viktor figure out how to be.
(Oct. 26th, 2025) Hello! I am not dead, both in the sense that fic writers normally use that phrase and also literally---if you know you know. As to why I haven't written, well, to use another popular saying literally: I've been losing braincells. This tends to get in the way of my productivity. Writing is slow but happening, so please have patience while the author gets their shit together. The Boys of Progress aren't the only ones figuring out how to be.)
