Summary
To this day, he doesn’t know why it’s him among all the Nara that was chosen to be the first. Every Rider that’s ever existed is chosen by the Great Sage, the divine immortal who speaks prophecies and sees all. Whether you be a human commoner, a half-deity, a mermaid or even a dwarf — race and class never mattered. Once you were chosen, you were a Rider. It’s the highest honor, the greatest accomplishment — a lot of work that Shikamaru never asked for.

Summary
Kaminari Denki was a guard under the Western Draconian tribe beneath Katsuki Bakugou. He grew up in a great environment with close friends, but sometimes he felt a bit detached from them. Sometimes they would get upset at him for being spacey. Sometimes he would talk too much. Sometimes he failed at reading the room.
It was tough during those times, but his friends wouldn't give him up for the world.Todoroki Shouto was the crown prince of his kingdom. Cold. Standoffish. Silent. He never seemed to find the words to communicate his thoughts, and everyone often wrote him off as scary or uncaring. Connecting was never his specialty.
However, something in his alliance with Bakugou's tribe changed that.Together, Kaminari and Todoroki could just play to their own rules, without worrying about saying the wrong thing. Kaminari could talk, and Todoroki could listen. Todoroki could reach out and grab Kaminari by the hand, and he would let it happen.

A snapshot back in time, to a few months before the events of Healing in Motion.
It’s the assorted-extended Dreemur clan’s first Gyftmas on the Surface, and Sans has a lot more than putting up with family or dull holiday traditions to deal with.

Summary
He didn't owe anyone answers—anyone.
Especially not a witch who dares to treat him...like him.
Enduring a brotherhood with Natsu and making nice with his hordemate's mate and their hatchlings was what Ignia had been prepared for. But he hadn't been prepared for a troublesome witch who smells like the moon. It didn't matter to him that she got under his skin with all her teasing. It didn't matter to him how she faked her happiness when she looked so withdrawn from the world. It didn't matter how she'd say his name with that stupid smile on her face.
She told him he had the eyes of the sun.
The moon in her scent had never smelled so sweet.

Summary
Caelus kept sobbing uncontrollably, he shivered and withered from the pain. Barak stood looking down at him with teary bloodshot eyes. He just stood there frozen not knowing what to do as he held the snow white feathers, now covered in golden blood, in his shaking hands. He didn’t know how it happened, he had only been out for a while but it seemed that was long enough for some barbaric to do such a thing to his boyfriend. Barak clenched his fists, he had a determined look. He crouched down to kneel next to Caelus and put a hand on his shoulder. Caelus flinched at the contact. Barak saw red. Barak’s sight trailed down to Caelus’s bloodied back where you could spot two very noticeable gaping holes, you could see where the bone broke and where the mussels, tendons and now peeled skin were ripped. This used to be the home to two large white wings, which are now discarded on the floor as if they had no trivial meaning.

An Ending That Never Happened (A TLoU Part I Rewrite - 2015 Edition) by Raerden
Fandoms: The Last of Us (Video Games), The Last of Us (TV)
18 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Instead of the usual “20 years later,” this is an alternate version of The Last of Us that begins just two years after the outbreak.
Told through declassified documents, rewritten scenes, and subtle shifts in character choices, this retelling reimagines 2015 not as a world already lost — but as one still in freefall.
The old systems haven’t fully collapsed. The new ones haven’t formed. Survival is a matter of instinct, politics, and fragile alliances.
Ellie is still immune. Joel is still grieving. But the journey between them begins in a different world — and ends with a very different truth.
Grounded, faithful, and emotionally raw, this story expands the lore without rewriting its soul — offering a narrative bridge between Sarah’s death… and what comes next.

Summary
How the world from my original story was created, and a bit about the races that live there. This is meant as an introduction to the universe all of my other stories and works (and maybe eventually books) will be set in, so if you’re planning on reading any of my other works, I’d recommend you start with this, to get some knowledge of the world, as the other stories will assume that you, as the reader, know this.

The Way of the Grunt. A progression fantasy fandom novel. by Nebukadnezar_II
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
16 Jul 2026

Summary
In the vast, industrial war machine of the Morannon, a Snaga scavenger is lower than the grease on a siege-engine wheel. Muzgash survives the brutal trenches the only way a cowardly, moderately intelligent goblin can: by keeping his mouth shut and his eyes on the dirt.
But when he accidentally pulls a severed Uruk hand from a carrion wagon, he finds a dark iron ring that blazes with the geometric cuneiform of the Dark Lord’s bureaucratic tongue. Suddenly, Muzgash is tethered to The Great Eye's Ledger—an ancient, systemic tally that counts every arrow, tracks every wound, and assigns automated directives to the horde.
He doesn't want to fight the armies of Men. He doesn't want to die for Sauron. He just wants an extra ladle of salted horse-broth and a dry corner to sleep in. But in Mordor, once the machine notices you, the choices are simple: optimize your stats, or get thrown into the soup cauldrons.
