Summary
When Sarah J. Maas vanished, everyone assumed she was working on her next novel. Her husband knew better.
Desperate, he calls Lyra — ex-military, pragmatic, trained to survive anything — and tells her the truth: Sarah didn’t just imagine Prythian. She went there.
The portal that fuels her stories opens only for those it chooses, and when Lyra crosses through, she finds herself in a world of Fae courts, shadows, and impossible magic — a world that doesn’t follow the rules of fiction.
Armed with nothing but her instincts and a soldier’s will, Lyra must navigate the same deadly beauty that made Maas’s books legendary. But the longer she stays, the more Prythian begins to change her — body, mind, and soul.
To save Sarah, Lyra will have to survive the story itself.
Because this time, the author isn’t writing the ending — Lyra is.⚠️ Content Warning:
This story explores trauma, survival, and healing — both physical and emotional.
Lyra’s journey includes scenes of violence, captivity, and intimacy (consensual and non), but at its core, it’s about reclaiming power, body, and self.

Summary
One storm, one choice, and a pup abandoned in the rain change everything.
A storm in Pentagram City leaves a newborn Hellhound pup abandoned in the alleys, and Carmilla Carmine—Overlord, matriarch, and weapons dealer—does the unthinkable: she brings the fragile creature home, not as a pet, but as her fourth daughter.
What begins as bottle feedings, sleepless nights, and puppy mischief soon grows into something larger. Abby must navigate a world where Hellhounds are seen as property, pets, or labor, while the Carmine family fights to raise her as kin. From midnight cries and muddy chaos to collars, leashes, and first words, her early years test the patience and hearts of everyone in the Carmine estate.
But childhood is only the beginning. As Abby grows, so too do the dangers: unspoken laws, the cruelty of Hell’s hierarchy, and the powerful who would sooner see her leashed than free. Through triumphs and failures, laughter and loss, Abby’s path winds from helpless pup to fierce, determined adult—a Carmine in name, spirit, and defiance.
The 4th Daughter is a story of found family, rebellion against expectation, and the bonds strong enough to challenge Hell itself.

Summary

Having to spend too long on a highly anticipated planet, Craig makes use of his off time integrating poorly into society and being bothered by the charismatic patrons that lined the streets.
A story of thankful hellos and space fated Craig and Tweek. -

Summary
— Вони… хаос, — твердо сказав Ремус. — А хаос — це…
— Рок-н-рол.
Він різко глянув на Сіріуса і, вперше, відповів йому такою ж усмішкою.
— Ага.
— Може, це і буде моє виправдання, — сказав Сіріус. — Нароблю трохи хаосу зараз, а колись, можливо, воно перетвориться на рок-н-рол.Після того як у одинадцять років він втратив матір, Ремус більшу частину наступних чотирьох років тинявся з однієї школи в іншу, або ж блукав Лондоном, удаючи, що він зовсім не той добре вихований хлопець, якого ростив його батько. Тепер, коли всі шанси вичерпані, Ремуса відправляють до приватної школи Гоукінгс — остання спроба «поставити його на місце». Саме там він зустріне тих, хто визначить подальший хід його життя, і буде змушений зіткнутися з тими частинами себе, які, як йому здавалося, були давно втрачені.

Summary
“I came back alive,” First whispered, “but I don’t think I survived.
I think the boy they took is still there.
And I don’t know what’s left of me now.”First Kanaphan is the cold, unreadable star of Thailand’s top esports team. He doesn’t do chaos, doesn’t do feelings, and definitely doesn’t do wide-eyed streamers with glitter gloss and star clips.
Khaotung, unfortunately, does all of the above. Loudly.
What begins as a trial run with Team Eclipse spirals into late-night scrims, viral chaos, and a slow-burn collision between ice and sparkle. But beneath the teasing and the spectacle lies something deeper: First’s guarded walls, Khaotung’s relentless light, and the dangerous possibility that healing might look a lot like falling in love.

Summary
what if things had gone south when Jean and Armin were kidnapped while dressed as Eren and Historia? what if jean had said something to protect Armin? What if Mikasa and the others hadn't saved them in time?
Jean was angry, he hated having to dress up as Eren again, and what angered him even more was that Commander Erwin didn't seem to care what Jean thought, he didn't understand how this affected him. Jean didn't even want to become a scout, it was all Marco's fault that he was here; he was angry at him for dying, leaving him alone in this fucked up world. Jean was actually mad at everything. his mother, father, Marco, commander Erwin, Captain Levi, the suicidal bastard who was half titan half human... but mostly, at himself.
AUTHOR’S NOTE:
1. This is in no way written to romanticise the heavy subjects of the story. Take the trigger warnings seriously and respect the written. I’m trying my best to represent all the affected sides of sexual assault (not just the victim himself) so I hope that I'm doing a good enough job. Trigger warnings will also be found in the beginning of each chapter.
2. English is not my first language so if you expect awfulness, you won’t be disappointed. -

Summary
Hermione Granger has found herself stranded in the 1960s. Her plan was simple: don’t interfere, don’t change the timeline, and stay out of trouble. She intended to make the most of her unexpected exile, immersing herself in the pursuit of knowledge without the distractions of war or expectation. One thing, however, had most certainly not been part of the plan: catching the attention of none other than Lord Voldemort — at the height of his power.

Summary
Loyalty: a notion that had always gravitated around Garrus’ life.
“I am loyal to him, as he is loyal to me. And isn’t this the greatest form of love?” Her mother, as the good turian she was, used to say with regard to Castis.
Loyalty. During childhood, boot camp, military service. Loyalty: a virtue every turian was supposed to possess from birth, to the Hierarchy, first and foremost.
Garrus had always, secretly, disagreed. It was something to be earned.
And with her, such had been.
Commander Shepard had secured his deepest loyalty, and only when he saw her for the last time, before the Normandy SR-1 was taken down, did he understand how right his mother was. -

Summary
All Jim Kirk ever wanted was his own ship. All Leonard McCoy wants is to make it back home.
Starfleet and the Federation have collapsed after a decades-long war, and everyone who was off-planet at the time is effectively stranded with no way home. Planets that were once connected by the Federation are now connected only by a black market smuggling economy, and a bare-bones system of good samaritans who help people get back to their homes, although not everyone in this network can be trusted. A story about multiple ships, countless trips across the galaxy, and, somewhere along the way, a captain and his crew.
(tags and ships will be updated with each chapter!)

Summary
Our story begins somewhere at the beginning of Stranger Things season 5 (Autumn of 1987) with Mike lying awake beside Will. Haunted by memories of the past, Mike struggles with intense emotions he can’t fully name yet, fear, guilt, and something closer to 'caring'. He wrestles with the pressure to always be the “strong one,” the heart of their group, while secretly craving connection and comfort.
I strongly recommend to have full knowledge of the 4th seasons of the show before reading this, it will contain specific details of past seasons.
