Summary
Measure a world by how it ends, live by what comes next. Settle for the pages in a sketchbook or a halo gold at midnight when every corner of the room feels still too familiar for comfort and the memory gathers like dust. What has been done cannot be undone, so says channeled divinity—an adage that five disparate lives brought together by a primordial vessel's spite must untangle for each other and themselves.
How does it feel to let go, up at the end of time?
(AU - standalone rewrite of A Star's Equilibrium, Cycle 2 IN PROGRESS)

Summary
Once, Dream shaped the world. Now, the world dreams of shaping him.
In the Dreaming, Nuala begins to dream of a man in a temple, a voice that speaks of Morpheus as father and fate as a circle unbroken. Her visions awaken something ancient, something that could either unmake or renew the Dreaming itself.
For even gods must face the Hour of Change. The Kindly Ones were never alone.
This is a canon-divergent, mythology-heavy slow burn that centers on Dream’s trauma, Nuala’s agency, and the cost of loving an Endless who does not believe he deserves to be chosen.
There will be spoilers for season 2's ending and for the comic ending.

Summary
It's a sunny day in Tokyo. The sky's clear, tourists roam the roadways, and all seems as well as can be. Taking advantage of the good weather and the beginning of their Summer break, Kessoku Band meets up in Shimokitazawa to jam out and have fun.
But someone didn't come. Where, oh where, is Bocchi?
It's that absence that forces them to contend with death, the meaning of their lives, and the nature of art.

Summary
He has no plans for the future, no comfort in memories. Forsaken by the past and detached from the future, he aimlessly wanders in the present, struggling to no avail.
He has no tomorrow and no home to return to.
This muddied world is a haze of uncertainty, where death is the only absolute.
That is reality.
Is a hollow death the one truth that awaits him?
On one fateful night, the reticent, withdrawn Satoshi Mizukami finds himself at a shogi parlour and makes his existence known in the world of shogi at the age of eight.
This night would signal the legend of a genius as he treads through his adolescence towards the divine realm or wager his own demise...
Where will his path lead?

Summary
In that cold, unyielding night, she once asked: ‘What remains of existence?’
She watched others race along the starry track, yet chose to linger, finding neither meaning nor desire.
When the whisper descended, she offered no resistance, allowing it to etch knowledge within her.
She tried observing to find existence's purpose, yet found herself unable to comprehend the light in their eyes.
Thus, she embraced the Whisper as truth, believing it held the meaning of existence—and became the lone runner remaining beneath the stars.
The Whisper proclaimed: to run to the end is the entirety of existence.
Yet when rhythm fractured and flames flickered out, she finally confronted the icy question:
‘Common Sense—does it too lack meaning?’Series

Summary
"𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩, 𝙣𝙤 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙬"
It can be challenging to get used to the behaviour of the people in this era but it's important to remember that they are just trying to survive in their own unique way.
You never know what they're going through, and a little kindness goes a long way. Time travelling can be quite an experience. Therefore, keep an open mind and embrace the possibility of learning something new. With the right attitude and determination, one can navigate through these challenges and make the most out of this time travelling adventure.
But he doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. He may be an arcanist, or perhaps something else entirely. However, the disregard for the seriousness of time travel can have devastating consequences. Every decision he made is like the butterfly's effect where a single flap can cause the Storm on the other side of the world. So beware, for he may be your saving grace... or the undoing of this universe as you know it.

Summary
Between the boundaries of space and time, after the calamity that struck the Boiling Isles at the hands of a homicidal conqueror, four years of prosperity emerged marked by a period of peace and apparent harmony. Yet beneath that calm which seemed to settle over the demonic world, something remained absent.
The prolonged disappearance of the Collector has sown unease and quiet consternation among its inhabitants, though few dare to name what they do not understand. Fewer still suspect that the arrival of a tormented individual will fracture that fragile balance, dragging buried truths to the surface and forcing the world to confront what the shadows have always left behind.

Summary
Its chest does not rise and fall. You catch the glint of a wet pupil in the sunken shadow of its face, a warm glow against the bare slope of its wan shoulder. It holds a rust-tinted dandelion, knuckles bound with the torque of a muscle being pulled to its limit.
It raises its gift to you, from Earth’s new animal and its flock of lepers.

Summary
Death is a seductive mistress. She wants only to end all your suffering by bringing you to her. When you've spent your whole life surrounded by Death and idealizing her, she takes a special interest in collecting you... and the most horrifying thing a cosmic force could do is love you.
"Will someone come for me? I wish I could meet them again," the Protagonist's inner monologue says in Ending 9. This is a fic in which someone does come for him and pulls him back from the brink of Death. The one man he'd like to call a friend, had they met in better circumstances.

I traced the Greek on his palm while he bled on my skirt.
“Kaleidoscope,” I said.'Kalos - beautiful. Eidos - form. Skopeo - the eye that seeks.'
'The eye that seeks the beautiful shape.'
I looked straight at him.
"That is you, Erik. The beautiful shape.”
He understood.
But he did not believe me. -

Summary
“One day something happened, and despite his determination never to care again, Dream found himself feeling something akin to care: curiosity. A strand of her golden hair fluttered softly as she breathed in and out, and it caught his attention. For some reason, he worried that it would stop, worried that she wouldn’t wake, though he couldn’t articulate why.”
Morpheus grows close to a mortal who sees him not as Endless, but as someone capable of tenderness, regret, and desire. As the Dreaming shifts and dangerous forces stir, Alice becomes both solace and complication, and Morpheus must decide how far he is willing to bend the rules of existence for her.

Summary
How would you describe life? No matter the words you choose, they will always fall short. And yet you could begin by saying that it is a tale of joy, exploration, sorrow and growth; for life, in the end, is but experience. And ever changing, it decides when the time of trial and growth has at last come.
Almost four years had passed since she left Konoha. Now, with her return, change had come looking for her, the same way it had come in search of him.Do not be fooled by those words, however. Life is made up of all sorts of adventures, and this is not a story that unfolds solely through dramatic events. Things will be done in true Naruto fashion as well, so buckle up!
P.S. Quite a few chapters will include illustrated scenes, and some will even include manga pages (drawn by me in Adobe Fresco). An erotica page will also be part of the final chapters, as a bonus for the ones that make it all the way to the end.
