    Summary

    “Stories are masks of God.

    That's a story, too, of course. I made it up, in collaboration with Joseph Campbell and Scheherazade, Jesus and the Buddha, and the Brothers Grimm.

    Stories show us how to bear the unbearable, approach the unapproachable, conceive the inconceivable. Stories provide meaning, texture, layers and layers of truth.

    Stories can also trivialize. Offered indelicately, taken too literally, stories become reductionist tools, rendering things neat and therefore false. Even as we must revere and cherish the masks we variously create, Campbell reminds us, we must not mistake the masks of God for God.

    So it seemed to me that one of the most vital things we can teach our children is how to be storytellers. How to tell stories that are rigorously, insistently, beautifully true. And how to believe them.”
    ― Melanie Tem, The Man on the Ceiling

    Summary

    A series of snippets of Ghost Hunt AUs that come to mind when I'm inspired. There are a LOT of these, built up over a while, so I'll just be depositing them. I imagine most will never really be complete.

    Summary

    Yu and Haru have mastered the art of performance—onstage, in interviews, even with their own members.

    But when the weight of secrecy becomes too much, when stolen kisses and whispered confessions aren’t enough, they’re forced to confront a painful question—can love survive when the whole world is watching but refuses to see?

    The cameras capture everything.
    Except this.

    Summary

    Falena y su esposa fallecen en un lamentable accidente, dejando sólo a su hijo.

    Leona se encuentra a punto de finalizar su último año en NRC, y ante la inesperada tragedia, queda forzado a asumir el trono mientras Cheka alcanza la edad suficiente para gobernar, a la par de figura paterna.
    Sin opción, acepta gobernar y cuidar del heredero como su propio hijo, pero decide buscar ayuda extra.

    — Tienes que estar bromeando.

    Un lacayo con experiencia cuidando torbellinos andantes, fuertes destrezas físicas y mágicas, entrenado en combate, poseedor de un arsenal de conocimientos útiles en la crianza. Jamil sería el consorte perfecto para aminorar la carga de criar a un príncipe mimado y mantenerlo con vida hasta la mayoría de edad. Solo debía alcanzar su precio.

    — Ayúdame a mantener con vida a ese mocoso hasta que cumpla la edad suficiente para gobernar, y después serás libre de hacer lo que te plazca.

    Un trato simple. Jamil podría probar un poco de la vida que deseaba y luego tendría la libertad que anhelaba, él podría librarse de la responsabilidad de mantener con vida a un niño, y ese pequeño mocoso tendría un reemplazo para llenar su pérdida.

    Todos ganarían. Era sencillo, ¿no?

    Summary

    Five years ago, the world went silent. The rebellion fell. Cortex rose. Every city, every street, every body wired and controlled through spinal chips, drones, and AI enforcement. Hope didn’t just die — it got buried under surveillance, rewritten into compliance.

    But someone inside never stopped fighting.

    You were Cortex’s top systems engineer — a ghost in their machine. They took your mind, rewrote your body, and called it loyalty. You gave them silence for years. Then one night, you gave them hell.

    Now the city’s burning, the tower’s down, and two rebels — one with a temper like a knife, the other with laughter sharp enough to cut through grief — are watching you walk out of the smoke like a war they never expected to win.

    You smile like nothing’s wrong.

    “Doctor Y/N. Cortex Systems Division. Lead architect of your least favorite neural override. You’ve been using my work for a year. Thought it was time we met.”

    Summary

    Mar’i Grayson is only eighteen years old, and yet she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. A hero in her own right, she walks the path her parents once did—honoring their legacy, step by step.
    But sometimes, she's just a girl who wants to hear her mother’s songs again. To listen to her father’s stories.
    So she crosses the multiverse—not to save it, but for something far more fragile. For one more moment. For a chance to see them again.
    Maybe this is the story of a different version of Dick Grayson and Kory Anders meeting the daughter they never knew.
    Or maybe—just maybe—Mar’i Grayson was always meant to find them.
    Because in every timeline, in every universe, she’s the one who always brings them back together.

    Summary

    Neo-Seoul, 2175 — A decaying mega-city carved by tech, myth, and blood. At night, the walls whisper the names of demons: Beom. These ancient entities have merged with corrupted AI to create hybrids — part digital virus, part ancient predator — feeding on memory, soul, and data.

    "Project RECODE" — a covert unit of seven genetically-enhanced demon hunters, chosen by fate and cursed with powers linked to their past lives.

    The mission had been simple in theory: locate Taehyung, extract him, and burn the vault to ashes. But RECODE’s enemies were stronger and more violent than anticipated.

    The world would believe Taehyung was dead.

    But Jungkook was left with a void and a promise.

    He would find him again. No matter what.

    Summary

    In the winter of 2055, a cognitively delayed omega — one of the last of his kind — is placed with a bonded alpha pair in a rural district of what was then central Germany. The placement is standard for the time: six weeks minimum, reimbursement active, check-ins pending. But by day sixty-one, all three are gone. No transfer, no termination, no ping.

    What remains is the file: scent-sealed, margin-annotated, hauntingly intact. A log so meticulous it reads more like devotion than protocol — and entirely unredacted, which is rare enough to raise questions, even sixty-two years later.

    This is not a policy brief. It is not fiction, officially. It is simply a reconstruction: one boy, two carers, and the quiet archival trail of something that might have been love, or obedience, or a bureaucratic glitch that went uncorrected long enough to become history.

    Summary

    It was dark outside, bringing his visibility down, but the light of the moon was enough to let him have a good look at the landmass he was falling towards. It was… beautiful. There was a large, glowing river separating it in the middle, with one side looking like something straight out of a fantasy show and the other one like certain parts of Europe Alex had visited in the past. Stars shone in the sky, lighting up the sky with an array of beautiful colors that made the night sky back in Japorusia look like nothing.

    Summary

    “Silent night, holy night... All is calm, all is bright...”

    It was a very quiet, but soft sweet singing voice, almost like a whisper. He sang it a little hesitatingly at first, but slowly getting used to the melody.

    “Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child... Holy Infant so tender and mild...”

    As he sang, the memories from his childhood flooded his mind... The gentle Christmas nights, where he was so tiny and small, his mama singing him the same song as he lied his head on her lap, his eyes closing as he fell asleep. that characteristic smell of living Christmas tree and oranges, the sound of his sisters talking with his papa... All those memories, all those feelings... They came back to him with a sense of bittersweet emotion.

    Summary

    Being a college student is hard enough. Being a college student and a superhero is the actual worst.

    Unfortunately, almost 5 years after defeating Gabriel Agreste/Monarch, Ladybug and Chat Noir have been called back into the field by a new villain far more brutal than they ever could have imagined. They’ve gone from fighting supervillains to being almost regular teenagers and back to fighting supervillains again.

    Paris is growing weary of the danger (and the heroes fighting it) and trying to be an adult isn't getting any easier. As their battle with this new assailant drags on, it’s all they can do just to survive.

    Summary

    A retelling of Mega Man X. First in the Variables series.

    A hundred years have passed since the days of the Blue Bomber, and Dr. Light's legacy has become a legend. During a dig, Dr. Cain stumbles upon the last of Light's creations. A machine that goes by the title of "Mega Man X".

    Before he knows it, X finds himself thrown into a world he does not understand, his design used to create a new line of machines entirely. These fully conscious, sentient mechanical beings are known as Reploids.

    But the future takes a turn for the worse, and some Reploids begin attacking humans. This new "maverick" behavior led to the creation of an organization dedicated to dealing with these random attacks. This organization became known as the Maverick Hunters.

    When the leader of the Hunters, Sigma, rebels and declares war on the humans, he must rise up and use his buster. Even if he despises violence, he must take part in this conflict to save the world.

    Because there is no one else that can.

    Includes characters from X (canon and other related material) and Classic (canon and other related material) series!
