  1. Summary

    The Dark Mirror Research Foundation is located on Sage's Isle, far away from civilization, and dedicated to the research of the mysterious, dangerous, and supernatural.

    The following series tells a tale to the select few research staff, security staff, and subjects who house this place and work here. While some have been hired knowing what their job would be, there have been some who ended up here against their will. The subject themselves definitely don't want to be here, and yet there are those within these hallowed and confusing halls who have something to gain from it.

    The Mirror of Darkness haunts this facility and all who live here. Will you take the chance and see what is in store? Or will you try and run away from it?

    Summary

    A few years into his tenure as a ghost haunting the grounds of Night Raven College, Skully J. Graves found himself developing a fascination with the institution's plethora of birthday traditions. During his time as a student, birthdays were quietly observed in private; they were never cause for celebration of such a grandiose scale.

    While his could never compare to Halloween, the fact remained that Skully had never been able to experience the wonder of the occasion for himself. Try as he might to assure himself that it was impossible—having been born in a bygone era—a small part of him wished he could try celebrating as any modern-day student would.

    Little did he realize that one year his wish would come true.

    ...At a price.

    Summary

    One summer’s night, a beggar woman came to the castle and offered Riku a single rose in return for shelter from the tropical storm. Repulsed by her huggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman revealed to be an enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.

    Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.

    ...

    The story had been told to him by Riku and then repeated by the others throughout the years. Even so, Sora couldn't help but feel there was something amiss in the tale.

    Summary

    Two different universes: one with an abundance of children and treats them like mortals, and one without any yet would treat them as divine. A call that bridges the universes together, to give the children a choice.

    Abandon the life that haunts them at every step at the hands of neglectful gods? Or step up once more to save their home? Maybe the gods will learn to treasure what is within their grasp if it's taken away from them.

    Or which I take the concept of Broken Pantheon, timeline of The Sea is Wine Red, and the main conflict of Peripeteia then smash them together before seasoning it with my headcanons
