    Summary

    He knew he was grasping for conversation topics yet again. He’d never been good at starting conversations, but it was about a thousand times worse around her. But he needed something—anything—to distract himself from the feeling of being so close to her. Her shoulder pressed against his side, her arm around his waist, and her fingers around his wrist.

    That, and the strange mix of delight and embarrassment of being essentially carried to his car by the only girl he’s ever had serious feelings for.

    ~~

    For the JAFF trope inversion prompt: “The hero twists his ankle and needs to be carried home.” And a bit of “The main couple has a misunderstanding that could easily be resolved by talking about it. They talk about it.”

    Summary

    Eighth Prince of Han and an alpha to boot, Xu Minghao is nothing but expendable. But that changes swiftly when he finds himself engaged to the only Prince of Tang, the beguiling omega Wen Junhui, and crowned the Tang Emperor. Minghao is supposed to follow Han instruction and prepare Tang to become a vassal state, yet each day he grows more disillusioned with the homeland that sees him only as a pawn in their games. And then there's Junhui—perfect, well-mannered, beautiful Junhui that seems to want something beyond Minghao's comprehension....

    As Junhui and Minghao get to know each other and uncover their deepest secrets, their relationship begins to grow in directions neither anticipated. New loyalties are formed, hearts begin to waver, and something uncontrollable starts to blossom.

    But it might not be so bad. After all, the most beautiful lotuses bloom from the darkest, muddiest waters.

    Summary

    The motivations of women are often ignored, even in stories about women. The options of women characters are often ignored, too. And I’m not talking about a promising research scientist throwing away a dream grant to go play hooky with a man who’s more interested in ancient artefacts and the fact that she has tits than he ever will be in the truth that she sees him as an equal and wants to be his. I’m talking about the fact that if a lady is the villain, she’s doing it because she’s vain. She can’t just want to destroy all life like the boys do.

    If a woman is the protagonist, she’s going to drip with girl power (it’s going to be straight-up mentioned, using those exact words and you’re going to be expected to clap at the sliver of inclusion) and no one’s ever going to question how demeaning it would be if male characters being sure of themselves was referred to as boy power.

    That's not the kind of woman I want to tell stories about. She’s got to be unpleasant. The audience must cringe at the jagged shards of truth that used to be the glittering warped mirror of fiction. She's got to think that wedding bells sound like a funeral procession. Here's stories about those women.

    Summary

    What if i told you that Creepypastas are indeed real, And there exist a cosmic hierarchy of them with their own rules, They alter the stories that are told in real world, And conjure events such as the infamous Slenderman Stabbing to hide or make their presence known.

    Camilla, Young and confused girl is about to be placed in between these cosmic events and hurl her life into direction that can only be described as hectic mess, Suffering from dissociation, Depression, Anxiety, Reality of hers seem to hover between fiction and delusions, Strange events, people and beings are making their presence known to her during her seemingly simple high school life, Can she avoid the grim fate that awaits her and keep her sanity, Or will the incoming wave take everything she ever loved away from her and turn her into something vile and disgusting?

    Or.. It's all just in her head? Maybe?...

    Summary

    Joey's been coughing flowers.
    Which is weird, of course. People don't just cough flowers. People don't just have flowers in them.
    Except that Joey does, and, worse, it's apparently related to being in love with someone.
    Which makes no sense. He doesn't do love anymore.
    So he talks to the person that he thinks might have caused all this: Jimmy, Sheriff of Tumble Town.

    Summary

    It all started, in hindsight, with the release of the game called [Red Sands: In Search of the Scarlet Dawn], something of a ridiculous ‘otome’ game featuring the prominent shinobi of Konoha in an odd feudal systems of sorts. A game in which Haruno Sakura was cast as the villainess, her legacy made light of, and her appearance twisted until she was practically unrecognisable. It wasn’t a flattering game to her, and yet it was popular – popular enough for some diehard fan to go out of their way to kill the villainess standing between Sasuke and Hinata’s happiness.

    Yet that wasn’t the end of it, rather, death was the beginning of it: of the real Haruno Sakura waking up within that strange world of a game and refusing to follow the so-called ‘plot’ no matter how far along it is.

    (or; in which Haruno Sakura becomes a protagonist in the popularised ‘reincarnation as a villainess’ trope, and ponders on why in the seven dimensions did someone create a Madara Route – and how can she get off it, pretty please?)

    Summary

    So there are flowers in the Eclipse base, and Subz keeps finding more when he thinks he’s cleaned them all up. Okay, whatever. Not a problem. Chat can mock him for his delicate, floral lifestyle all they like: he’s just as confused as they are. Besides, they shut up when he starts playing really shitty AI Plankton covers, so all’s well that ends well. Mostly.

    Summary

    Captain Frederick Wentworth comes upon a terrible carriage accident. He heroically intervenes to rescue Miss Elliot from the wreckage and see to her care and wellbeing. Unfortunately, it rains. Fortunately, there is a conveniently positioned cottage. Unfortunately, that means they are trapped in the cottage together and there is only one bed. Even more unfortunately, it's the wrong Miss Elliot.

    Written for the following JAFF Trope Inversion Bingo prompts:
    "The main character is stranded in a remote place with someone other than their love interest."
    "One character rescues another. They do not fall in love."
    "A character ends up in soaked and see-through clothes. Their love interest does not see it."
    "All horses mentioned in the story remain nameless."

    Summary

    “After all, how could a full-grown man, master of the universe, sentient, intelligent, rational, be piloted by a worm so magnificently small and, one thinks, unthinking? How could a creature with a brain composed of over eight billion neurons, with a head so large at birth that they’re born underdeveloped to save mothers from an impossible task, how could such complex intelligences become the psychological victim to a fungus, a worm, even a prokaryote? Despite our celestial aspirations and our skyscrapers, despite our dazzling sentience and digital wristwatches, due to hanahaki's neurochemical manipulations, we are not as in control as we’d like to believe.”

    field notes on flower sickness, Dr. Zoe Hanji, PhD

    “You take two, at times three breaks a shift,” Dr. Ackerman went on, “stay out here for a length of time that should have gotten you fired, chain smoke at least five cigarettes each time,” she said, a pristine black boot toeing at the stubs littered just under the dirty snow.

    Taking another drag, Annie cut her eyes away. If she did nothing, the expensive stick of narcotics would only burn itself down to a useless ash. “Correct.”

    Summary

    “Well. I am a creative type,” Tav continued, confidence clearly bolstered. “I guess it makes sense that I’m gifted with more than just musical talents.”

    Astarion cringed internally, but he kept it off his face with decades of practice. ’Gifted’ was an awfully strong word, after all, considering the abomination he was trying not to look at.

    In which bard!Durge discovers he should really stick to music, and Karlach is a great wingwoman. Or, two different versions of how "Tav draws Astarion so he can see what he looks like, but badly" could go. (Stand-alone missing scene from Act 2).

    Three unique takes on common Borderlands fanfic tropes, one per chapter.

    1 - PERSONAL ASSISTANT
    2 - A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT
    3 - LOCKED FROM THE AFTERLIFE
