Summary
Weakened by illness and haunted by loss, Diamond Cleeveholm no longer has the luxury of innocence. Though Tuckborough still seems at peace, she cannot ignore the warnings smoldering beneath the surface, and every attempt to protect the people she loves demands a dangerous compromise. Secrets strain every bond she holds dear. Visions threaten the future she longs to claim. But with destruction on the horizon, Diamond knows she must become someone people will follow—even if she must lie, spy, and kill to get there.

How a hobbit lass became Joan of Arc for Middle Earth. (The adventure of the Ring begins…)

Summary
...his breath catching in his throat as he tried to find a pulse behind the sharp, steady profile of the man standing over him. "What?"
"The cage," Driver stated softly, his eyes locking onto Luke's with that heavy, unblinking devotion that required no processing power to maintain. "I can learn the physics in thirty days."
Driver came to the traveling carnival for quiet work, grease under his fingernails, and a place to disappear.
He didn't account for Luke Glanton—or the pull of a stunt rider who moves too fast and feels too loud.
When a tragedy threatens to derail Luke’s contract and wreck what's left of his life, Driver steps up to fix a problem he can't ignore—by agreeing to enter the Globe of Death.---------___________ or
Luke's livelihood is put on the line, and Driver offers to help. Luke is tense and struggles to teach Driver, but slowly and painfully gets attached. Nothing is going to plan.

Wei Wuxian is almost raped at a cultivation conference but manages to fight off and kill his attacker at the last second. The event leaves him feeling ashamed, dirty and guilty. So much, in fact, that he cannot bring himself to talk to anyone about what happened, not even Lan Zhan.
When they go back home to Gusu, Lan Wangji quickly notices that something is wrong. Wei Wuxian can’t bear the touch of his husband, not when his skin and body feel stained after what happened. Beginning to isolate himself more and more, the rest of his family gets increasingly worried about him.
Things only get worse when the body of a Nie cultivator is found and the cultivation world has to look for a murderer amongst their own. Lan Wangji realises that he will have to get to the bottom of this before he loses the love of his life again.

One moment she was just asleep in bed and getting ready for a new day at the Academy, the next thing she knew she awoke in a realm far different from her own.
Alone, terrified and aching for the family she had been torn from, Elowen took her first shaky steps in the into the Lands Between and hopes to find a way home from the broken world
Honestly I don't see much isekai fic on Elden Ring that much so I decided to make my own. This fic is purely self-indulgent and author will update the best they can. The Oc and the world she lived in is my creation and I'm going to honest that she is a bit OP in the Lands Between, but in where she came from, she's just a student still learning the ropes on the magic course she took.
