    Summary

    The season was already tense enough, new sponsors, absurd FIA regulations and a paddock full of egos barely contained by fireproof suits. As director of the GPDA, George Russell tries to keep the peace but diplomacy only stretches so far when Max Verstappen is involved. Max unwilling to be a corporate puppet lashes out publicly and personally... and George is always the one cleaning up the mess. Their clashes are sharp, public and frequent. Everyone sees it. No one understands it.

    Kimi Antonelli didn’t ask to witness a psychological power struggle disguised as a rivalry.

    Summary

    Shen Lian, courtesy name Ziruo, just wanted a break.

    Caught between internship chaos and academic burnout, he takes a well-earned week off to chill, cry, and binge the historical fantasy dramaThe Untamed. He didn't expect to spiral into emotional devastation, fall headfirst for a flute-wielding chaos gremlin, or whisper a half-joking wish to meet them in real life.

    Then he got electrocuted. And woke up in the body of a 14-year-old disciple of the Meishan Yu clan.

    Now he's been selected to travel with the Yunmeng Jiang disciples to the Cloud Recesses.

    Which might be okay... if everyone in this world couldn't hear his thoughts.

    Modern snark, spoiler-filled rants, thirst over cultivators, and deep philosophical takes on character arcs? All broadcasted-out loud

    He thinks he's losing his mind. The cultivation world thinks he's a prophetic oracle.
    But somewhere beyond time and space, a greater force watches and whispers:

    What if someone could change the story?

    Summary

    romeo_m13: who the hell do u think YOU are, giving ME relationship advice, when you've been in some fucked up situationship for literally a year???

    ben.mont: Lmao “And yet thou wilt tutor me from quarreling!”

    ben.mont: Also what the fuck do you mean situationship

    romeo_m13: wtf is quarrelling

    Benvolio and Romeo Montague both have very set ideas about what romance, relationships, and love can look like. As they (and their friends) (and their enemies) survive a class on global cultures, both cousins are forced to grapple with their own pride, their own ignorance, the consequences of their actions, and (god help them) other peoples' feelings.

    With gratuitous references to Brokeback Mountain, romantic and gothic literature, and 21 Chump Street (???), here's another silly retj chatfic :p

    Summary

    Late one night after a commission with a mysterious proxy she's never heard of before, comes across a girl on the subway she quickly befriends. Instead of ending there this meeting of two people results in turbulent weather that reveals truths between and around themselves. Will this unlikely pair weather through the storm and come out stronger, or let everything they hold dear be consumed as a result? Find out now as we wade through, the Blood in The Water.

    After an (unintentional) year in development, Blood in the Water is back for a second course in a fully realized story rife with new twists and turns alongside a heap of emotional and physical baggage that dives into the character of Ellen Joe along with a peek into the mystery that is the Phaethon Siblings.

    Summary

    Piers can't fix his hometown. He can only keep it afloat, a balancing act with one side of the scale holding the weight of his home and the other side holding his soul. How unfortunate, to be caught between a hope and a dream.

    Summary

    Neil has four younger siblings who are all as feral and unhinged as he is.

    Nathaniel Wesninski is dead. Or at least that's what the world was supposed to believe.
    The eldest son of a cult leader in the woods of Northern Wisconsin, Neil escaped a life of fire, silence, and ritualized abuse by smuggling his four younger siblings to freedom and then disappearing. Years later, he resurfaces on the Foxes' Exy court under a stolen name, still running, still watching the shadows, still branded by the past he swore he'd never speak aloud.
    This is not the story of a boy with no future. This is the story of five red-headed siblings, one found family, and the price of staying.

    Summary

    Sophia, once a cleaner on Earth, played a game with her nephew that thrust them both into Sanctuary, awakening latent Nephalem powers that forged her into a saviour amid a war between angels, demons and humans. Now immortal but haunted by guilt over those she couldn't save, she years to return to Earth, where her powers might fade, yet dreads facing her past.
    Abducted by a mind flayer ship midway via returning home, she's hurled into Faerun, navigating a world of hidden dangers. Among a motley crew led by Tav, a noblewoman with a silver tongue and veiled motives, Sophia faces treachery and deception. Astarion, a vampire with a razor wit, trades barbs with her, their sparks kindling an unexpected bond.
    As a dark force stirs within, Sophia's choices could save two realms - or doom them forever.

    Sorry to add this next part, but I've had quite a few of these on this story, and I'm not interested:
    NO COMMISIONS, NO COMMERCIAL OFFERS.
    Thankyou.

    Summary

    Instead of falling apart after their confrontation in Season 3, Episode 2, Cecil and Mark actually talk. And somehow, that changes everything.

    This is a slow-burn rewrite of Season 3 where they don’t fall into the same patterns. It’s about learning how to communicate, dealing with past trauma, and figuring out what something real between them might actually look like.

    Summary

    Scary Marlowe’s been fine on her own—really. Sure, she keeps forgetting her keys, and sure, her mom’s working late again, and sure, maybe she doesn’t have anyone to text anymore. But she’s fine.

    Then the guy at the end of the hall starts saying hello.

    It’s not a friendship, not really. Just someone to talk to. Someone who listens.

    Summary

    AJ felt like she was in a strange dream. Logically she knew where she was. It's really hard not to recognize the goddamn Watch Tower. It just looks strange. Looks too real. Too metal like. Her eyes took in the room. Windows looking out into space, Earth bright and blue in the pitch black. The cold metal under her feet told her this was real. She walked closer toward the window, touching the cold glass as she stared at an Earth that shouldn't exist. In a place that shouldn't exist. With people that shouldn't exist.

    or
    The Justice League found out that the multiverse theory is real and now they have no way to get the young girl home. As AJ grieves and tries to live her life in this new strange place, different characters are forced to contend with their own grief. Part me having fun and part character study.

    Summary

    “When a lion burns the gods, who remembers what grows from the ash?”
    Several years before the events of Game Of Thrones, Jaime Lannister rides west to handle a minor rebellion. What he finds instead is a boy with a carved lion, a godswood destined for fire, and a page in the White Book that will not write itself.
    In the shadow of Tywin’s legacy, Jaime must choose what kind of man he’ll become—if there's anything left of him to choose (and yes Tywin Lannister is Hand because it works. Jon Arryn took a little vacation for one year).
    A pre-canon character study of power, memory, and the cost of wearing the white cloak.

     

    Featuring: Ned Stark’s judging everyone, Robert Baratheon’s anger, and one burned house that won’t quite stay silent.)

    Summary

    After a particularly rough few weeks acting as their introduction to the Delta Quadrant, the still very new crew of Voyager makes the difficult decision to settle on a habitable planet to ensure their survival. Voyager is left to her own devices to hopefully reach the families of her crew someday. The only problem with this arrangement is no one bothered to inform the EMH.

    Really I just wanted to do a character study of a very person-dependent character when I put him in situations where he would be on his own.
