Summary
"You're too close to your Dad," Mom commented during dinner. Before the divorce, Carl was chewing his spaghetti with raised eyebrows.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes, Mom knows, but…" Carl looked at Mom, but strangely, she didn't look back at him, avoiding his gaze and looking uncomfortable. The front door opened, and Dad had come home early after all. Carl left his spaghetti and Mom at the dining table, jumping straight into Dad's embrace. Dad was still wearing his full uniform, and Carl's face was kissed repeatedly until he laughed from the tickling sensation.
Carl forgot about Mom and forgot about that conversation.

Summary
> Once, a god of suffering heard a prayer he could not answer.

She was made to endure.Neither was made to survive.
But if they do, the game ends differently.

Summary
“Think we should just kill ourselves?”
There was a beat of silence.
The kind that falls when even the ocean pauses to listen.
And then, Jinho tilted his head. Looked at her like she’d just asked him to share a cigarette, not consider death.
“You're kidding, right? You want me to kill myself after I just found my person? We have to stay together for a very long time.”

Summary
Two years before that fateful night at the Juke Club, Remmick finds himself fleeing an angry mob, the blood of a filí still wet on his lips. With his pursuers getting too close for comfort and dawn closing in, Remmick does the only thing he can do: Knock on a door and beg to be let in.
His unlikely savior, Italian hermit Eleonora Pazzi, empathizes with the stranger at her door despite her initial suspicions and her desire to protect the baby in her womb.
An unconventional cohabitation is born, fueled by both Remmick's and Eleonora's loneliness. Over time, companionship blossoms into love. The kind that, if given the chance, could last a lifetime.
But then, Remmick hears about a certain filí from Clarksdale. One far more gifted than the one he accidentally killed. From there, he must make a choice: Does he abandon his centuries-long goal of reconnecting with his ancestors for the sake of his new family? Or does he leave the life he's built with Eleonora - and her child, whom he'd been raising alongside her - for a chance to see his people again?
One thing is for certain: Whatever he chooses, there will be consequences.

Summary
Buck had always known people leave. Ex-girlfriends, friends, broken promises—he’d lost count. But when Eddie announces his plan of going to El Paso, something inside Buck shatters in a different way. He does what it takes, until one day, he can’t take it anymore. With no plan, no fixed destination, just a backpack and an endless road ahead, Buck decides to escape the pain the only way he knows: by running. But the farther he travels, the more he finds himself confronted by memories, the ghosts of what he’s lost, and one unexpected question: is he running toward a new home or simply running from the fear that he never truly had one?
Eddie never hesitated when it came to his son. Christopher was his compass, his greatest reason to keep fighting, and when he gets tired of having his son away, Eddie doesn’t think twice before leaving everything behind—including Buck. El Paso takes him through unfamiliar roads and a journey that isn’t just about repairing his relationship with his son, but about finding himself. In the midst of chaos, worry, and missing his life in Los Angeles, Eddie realizes that maybe his feelings for Buck have always been deeper than he was willing to admit.

Summary
In a Midgar drowning in power, deception, and the lingering shadow of Jenova, a construct born for obedience makes one impossible choice: to love.

Summary
Before the Games begin, the dead are already watching.
When Katniss Everdeen’s father dies, she’s only ten—grieving, hungry, and lost in the woods when she meets Sejanus Plinth: a ghost with too much guilt and a heart too soft for war. Four miles away, eight-year-old Peeta Mellark finds a girl in a rainbow dress who sings lullabies no one else remembers. Lucy Gray Baird never left the Seam, not really.
Years later, when both Katniss and Peeta are reaped for the 74th Hunger Games, they are not alone. Two tributes walk toward the Capitol—guided by the dead, shaped by the past, and burning with something the Capitol can’t quite name: memory. Defiance. Hope.
Canon Divergence. Ghost AU. Featuring Peeta mentored by Lucy Gray’s ghost and Katniss shadowed by Sejanus. A story about survival, grief, and the echoes that never let go.

Summary
A boulder-like heaviness filled her stomach and she gulped. With shaky steps and the rattling of the cuffs accompanying her, Enid approached the elevated wooden platform.
A hooded man wielding a wicked gleaming axe and a chopping block greeted her.
Dread still filled her but as she climbed the small steps, Enid steeled her resolve, puffing out her chest and holding her head high in view of all that gathered.
So be it.
She’d die. It didn’t matter.
All that mattered was that Wednesday was far, far away and safe.
“Kneel.”
The voice came from behind the hood, hoarse and gravelly, and it ran a shiver down Enid’s spine. Still, she did as commanded, letting the burly executioner position her head until she was staring down a small trough whose bottom was stained with dried, dark maroon blood.
As she felt the raising of the axe and the crowd volume rose to a fevered pitch, Enid wondered not for the first time just how had she gotten to this point?
OR
Wednesday Addams is an infamous, cold-hearted pirate captain. Enid Sinclair is a lonely but optimistic runaway noble girl. The two meet and everything changes.
