    Summary

    What if the Traveler found them first?

    After Requiem, Lauren-116 is pregnant with an impossible child. ONI wants access. Halsey wants answers. John-117 sees the one line he will not allow anyone to cross.

    So he runs.

    For eight months, a forgotten Forerunner shield world becomes John and Lauren’s sanctuary. Then the Traveler appears above it, silent and vast, carrying dreams of gardens, Light, and something terrible hunting through the dark.

    By the ninth month, everything converges.

    Lauren is in labor. ONI arrives with the Yang Liwei. The Traveler flees. The Witness reaches the shield world. And caught between Forerunner preservation, Light, Darkness, and one unborn child’s first choice, humanity becomes something new.

    John and Lauren ran to save one daughter.

    The universe answered with two.

    And the Awoken were born.

    Summary

    Among the mortals whom the gods expect to serve them unconditionally, there are those who are dissatisfied with them. There are those who choose no longer to serve them, but man alone. That is the principle of the Prometheans, a group dedicated to serving man and man alone, sailing and daring to travel into waters unknown to find new lands and new treasures. With the death of the group's former leader, his adopted son Atticus takes charge, alongside him is his sister, Amphitrite, his first mate and only family. They set out to achieve their father's wishes, unfortunately, gaining the attention of the gods.

    I'd just like to say that Neal Illustrator as just inspired me so much. I love her designs and her interpretation of the characters that gives them more depth. I hope to do the same with Amphitrite, making her more than just a random nereid or water nymph.
    Also, the lore is tweaked here so there ain't no Sweet Home Alabama stuff going on (Don't come at me for it not being accurate)

    Summary

    The Server is an interesting and unstable world where power could mean anything. It's like a circus with multiple acts played by actors who craved for domination through their own means, cycling through the rise and fall of several civilizations, kingdoms, and empires.
    In the middle of it all, ever wondered how ClownPierce was perceived to be the villain he was made out to be?

    Summary

    Peter Parker was never bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager. Instead, he lost a few important people, grew up, and got a doctorate in molecular biology.
    At twenty-eight, he took a job at Engels Biomedical, an institute specializing in experimental cancer treatment. Three months in, he learns the samples he's been working on don't come from a corpse.
    They belong to a deeply scarred terminal patient, known as Subject 061, who is still somehow alive, existing in a limbo of incomplete regeneration.
    ---
    In which Peter Parker is already somewhat fucked up when he meets the mildly deranged Wade Wilson dying from cancer, and things proceed to get worse from there. This is an alternate take on the Weapon X thing.
    ---
    "Hey, am I reading this shit wrong, or is today a special occasion? 'Cause you didn't bring food? You broke the routine–"
    "Well, I thought it might be romantic if we just starved together for once, Pool, obviously."
    Once the words were out and left hanging in the air, they took on the shape of a twisted setup to... a slightly unconventional romcom? Well, except no one would probably laugh at this one.

    Summary

    Peter Parker is eight years old when he notices the name, it happens on a Tuesday morning while he’s getting dressed for school.

    There is nothing particularly special about the moment, Peter is just about to pull his shirt over his head when he glances towards the mirror on the back of his bedroom door and notices something strange near his shoulder. He stops what he is doing, dropping the shirt on the floor before moving closer to the mirror.

    Peter freezes, his eyes locked on the letters that sit cleanly below his collar bone like they had been carefully written in black ink. He let his fingers brush over them like it might have been an accident, the ink doesn’t smear or fade it stays exactly as it is.

    Summary

    My final rebooted saga of every Spyro the Dragon game in existence, it expands upon and ties together all four iterations of Spyro into one character. This is also a worldbuilding project of mine, meant to further flesh out the ideas & concepts that I have, such as geography and cultures, the characters and races of the setting, and yes, the story as well.

    HUGE WIP... just so you know.

    Summary

    “Hey,” he says, and his voice is a little higher than Johnny expected, a little breathless. He pushes his glasses up. “Uh. You need a partner? Or- I mean, I need a partner. Obviously. That’s why I’m here. At this bench. With you. Not that you’re a last resort, I just- I was getting coffee, or I had a question about the junction rule, and then I realized I was supposed to be here, so I-” He stops himself, letting out a short, self-conscious laugh. “Hi. I’m Peter.”

    He sticks out his hand, a smear of ink at the side of the thumb, nails bitten to the quick. The handshake is brief, a little too firm, and Peter’s palm is slightly calloused in a way that doesn’t quite match the scatterbrained exterior.

    “Johnny,” he says, leaning his hip against the bench and crossing his arms. “You always this composed on the first day, or am I getting a special show?”

    Johnny Storm, the only survivor of the space expedition, moves to New York. Running from the grief and the past, however, is made complicated by strange, unexplainable transformations and Peter Parker, a biophysics major harboring secrets of his own.

    Summary

    “To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, To let it go.” (Mary Oliver)

    Tavi grew up on a small, rural farm in the Tevinter Imperium. He and his family laboured for their daily bread; spent holy days at the local temple; and enjoyed the fruits of the seasons, living humbly but happily in their slice of paradise.

    Then, a magister came through their little village. In his wake, he wrought upon Tavi's world a wave of misery worse than any blight.

    Fifteen years pass. Octavian has clawed his way from the hellish imprisonment that had been thrust upon him, far colder a man than he had been when he first saw the walls of a cell. Imbued with vengeful purpose, he plans to seek justice for the wrongs committed against him: and if justice cannot satisfy him, he will settle for blood.

    (Covers Tevinter Nights, Veilguard, and an epilogue.)

    Summary

    They had not been born, though that did not mean they had no beginning. They did not age, though that did not mean they could not end.

    An eternity ago, a collection of rocks had come together under its own gravity and formed a sphere. And when that sphere settled into place, it awakened.

    And it had not been human.

    --

    Summary

    “He’d always thought he’d wait. Until he’d earned it. Until it felt like he’d lived up to his mother’s expectations. He’d failed. And now the entire city was depending on him. He couldn’t fail them too.”

    “She wasn’t a hero. Not even close. She was a walking disaster, a thief, a murderer…She didn’t deserve it, not at all, And even then, part of her, a tiny part that had been long pushed into the very depths of her soul, wanted nothing more than to make them proud.”

    Summary

    Is this real? Is this real? Am I real?

    He bites at whatever he can reach with borrowed teeth. The arms, the fingers, the lips. He can feel the sting, can taste the blood. That's real. It's real. This body is real, at least, and he is in it. Now he just needs to keep it that way.

    He fights through the blankets and sheets, limbs unfamiliar and confusing. The struggle sends him to the floor, but he manages to back up to the wall, using the blurry eyes to scan the room for danger. Whatever was consuming him in the darkness could've followed him out, after all, and he will not be caught unaware again. He wraps the arms around the body, squeezing, desperately trying to keep it together in one piece.

    He'll keep it together and make it his and then he will finally be real.

    Summary

    UPDATE: CHPS 1-11 have been reuploaded which includes an ALL NEW CHP 8! ENJOY!!

    The wrong king died that day. The throne of Egypt claimed by a thief who rebuked the dark entity that once compelled him to summon them into the world. A new quest for immortality; unfulfilled as the gods sought to punish the usurper for his hubris of seeking a gift that no mortal should posses. That is supposedly how the story goes... Until three thousand years later a broken boy is given a taste of freedom with the help of an ancient soul, both unaware that their lives are part of an elaborate game designed by divinities.

    Summary

    Hello. My name is Sheldon Lee Cooper. Some people assume I am cold. A robot. They observe my relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler—an arrangement in which physical affection has historically progressed at a rate best described as “geological”—and conclude I am incapable of affection or love.
    This is inaccurate.
    I am, in fact, profoundly capable of affection. I simply learned, at a formative age, that affection behaves like a volatile substance.
    It requires containment.
    Preferably with gloves.

    Summary

    ~His hand around your neck felt like sin's most treasured necklace. Sylus' fingers pressed just enough to make your heart race faster, breath like precious gems you had to earn. A slim finger pressed to parted lips as he leaned in.

    "Shhh.. quiet kitten. We're just getting to the good part."~

    The world begins to darken as you dive into the N109 Zone, its leader having taken a special interest in you...his most ardent obsession. But what does the leader of Onichynus want with a simple Hunter like you?
