Miles To Go, But We're Almost Home by JDylah_da_Kyllah for its_like_a_fever, Demerite
Fandoms: Im Westen nichts Neues | All Quiet on the Western Front - Erich Maria Remarque
28 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Wherein Paul wrestles with exactly what he feels for Kat, torn and terrified of losing the man whom he knows as no other: the one good thing to come out of the war.
OR: "I've been burning all my daylight running;
even midnight caught fire.
Only way I ever learned how.
(. . . )
If you lie awake
while your universe shakes,
and I go weightless and fall–
claws out for you now–
just hold onto yourself–We're almost home,
but we've got miles to go.Miles to go,
but we're almost home."~~~
Addendum: Now an accidental, indefinite short-story collection / dumping ground for my thoughts and feelings re: the book All Quiet, but mostly Paul and Kat. Expect stories, fanart(?), historical inaccuracies, canon divergence and goodness-knows-what-else.
NOTES: Despite the tags, none of this is salaciously explicit, although the subject of sexuality is dealt with frankly here (as is all else in the book).
"Chapters" 1-3 form something of a trilogy; everything that follows is intended to be standalone / unrelated (with some wink-and-nod callbacks).
Prompts / requests welcome! :D

~Hailstorm the Story of Icewing Prince~ by Tradicion
Fandoms: Wings of Fire - Tui T. Sutherland
28 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
~Hailstorm, the Icewing prince, feels out of place in his own scales. Freed from being a Pyrite, he should fit in, but he doesn’t —he’s unsure of who he is, what he wants, or who he’s attracted to. Memories of his past —time as a Pyrite, abuse, and family troubles —haunt him, and he struggles with body dysphoria, mental stress, and guilty thoughts he can’t share. Even surrounded by the royal court and Icewing traditions, he feels alone, confused, and drawn to feelings he doesn’t fully understand.~
~As he moves through the palace and interacts with soldiers and his family, Hailstorm wrestles with loyalty, justice, and moral dilemmas. He notices boys in ways that surprise him, thinks about romance and intimacy, and quietly questions everything he thought he knew about himself. The world around him —military rules, royal expectations, Skywings —is rigid and harsh, while inside he battles trauma, self-doubt, and forbidden desires.~
~The story explores identity, orientation, trauma, mental health, and forbidden feelings, mixing royal politics, friendship, love, and self-discovery. Hailstorm is trying to figure out who he is while carrying the weight of the past and the pressures of being a prince.~

Summary
"Hide me!”
“Where?”
“You're taller than me, put me against the wall or something,” Gaara hissed back, voice tainted with brisk rudeness, “but be-”
Faster than the blink of an eye, Lee yanked his arms out of Gaara's hold, grasping the Kazekage by his waist and switching their places.
“Mmpf!”
Sorry, sorry, sorry! Lee pleaded mentally when Gaara's breath hitched, a sign that Lee hadn't controlled his force well enough and for that misstep he'd make ten thousand push ups with-
Gaara groaned, hoarse and gravely and wonderful and Lee was absolutely thrilled with the prospect of hearing that lovely sound again.
Focus!
It was a hard task when all of Lee's entrails clenched with the need to press further, his entire body vibrating with renewed energy and the need to worship every centimeter of that man.

Summary
“Haha! Correct answer, although I suppose it wasn't exactly hard to guess.” Kabru tapped the lid with his fingers, sending Laios a mischievous smile. “Are you ready to look inside?”
Laios gulped. “Yeah,” he said with a look of determination on his face. “Let's do it!” he added confidently, pumping his fist in the air. Kabru discreetly snorted into his hand.
Pop-pop! Kabru flicked the lid open and turned the box towards Laios so that he could see the contents. Laios instinctively leaned towards it, curious, excited, and nervous. His eyes grew wide, his eyebrows rode up his forehead, and his face flushed a deep red, all the way to the tips of his ears. He covered his mouth with his hand, muffling a gasp. There were so many sex toys in the box that he couldn't make out individual ones at first. A jumbled mass of plastic and metal. He admired the collection with a kind of reverent fear reserved for wonders beyond human comprehension.
