    Summary

    The Reverse Flash could have used his powers for anything. He could have just been a hero in the future, if being a hero was so great, but no, he had to keep travelling back to the past, keep making Eobard listen to his "there's good in you" speeches, and keep very badly pretending he didn't have a crush on the present-day villain.

    Summary

    The Spectre is cruel. Fickle. A volatile entity who only values entertainment above all else. Boredom is the worst torture imaginable for IT.

    The survivors have grown complacent, gone are the days of fearful glances and tearful goodbyes. The killers have grown predictable, now losing more and more of their matches with each new round.

    Teamwork, hope, friendship—those were not what the Spectre meant to cultivate in this realm. Yet, the spark of life had been reignited in the damned survivors.

    Of course, the Spectre was quick to snuff out that flame before it was too late.

    When the repeated games grow boring, IT decides that some things must change in order to make the cycle of death exciting again.

    a self-indulgent forsaken swap au fic…
    tldr; survivors get better → killers lose more → spectre gets bored → spectre decides to swap killer and survivor roles → ??? → profit!

    i’m a big multishipper, so while no romantic relationships are tagged, feel free to see any (not illegal) relationships as whatever! nothing will be confirmed, and even canon relationships will only be mentioned as past romances :)

    currently on indefinite pause :(

    Summary

    Glass Joe is the undisputed World Circuit Champion, having easily defeated and retired the beloved Little Mac, clearing the field for a new kind of threat: Aran Ryan, a boxer of chaotic, electrifying ambition.

    Joe is utterly consumed by his rival. He sees a sinuous, crimson thread tied to Aran, which he frantically insists is a sign of impending doom. Yet, this thread is not of ruin; it is a distorted reflection of fate, concealing a dangerous connection Joe is too powerful to admit. His self-deception is violently interrupted by Mimebomb, Joe's mute cousin.

    Driven by a fatal thirst for vengeance, Mimebomb views Joe’s past and present—including Mac's defeat—as an unforgivable offense. Mimebomb’s silent, final strike will shatter the Champion's world, forcing him to confront the terrifying nature of his obsession with Glass Jod

    Summary

    Under the careful and protective guidance of Celine, the Huntrix Boys grow closer to sealing the Honmoon in gold and saving humanity. Jinu hopes that with this, he can finally atone for his past and bury his secret shame. Before their greatest song can be performed, however, a new masked demonic girl band calling themselves the Saja Girls emerges onto the music scene. What should have been a usual hunt to take the girls down changes when the impossible happens- their leader bleeds when cut during the fight.

    Half-human, half-demon, Rumi has known since she was young that the permanent sealing of the Honmoon would kill her. That was the only reason her father allowed her to ascend to the human realm with her friends by her side. As Mira and Zoey fight and sing to save her life, Rumi aims to achieve her personal goal.

    Summary

    In this timeline, the supposed villains of history never fulfilled their roles. They either vanished, repented, or refused to play their part.

    As a result, the world entered an unnaturally peaceful age where there were no wars, no grand conflicts, no chaos.

    But this serenity is false. Without darkness, light begins to rot.

    The Kamen Riders must pretend to be the evil the world needs, while secretly saving it from something far worse.

    Summary

    All people ever do is complain, the Specter HATES when people complain. survivors complain all the time about being in danger, and even if it was fun to see them get obliterated by the killers all the time, it was starting to get boring.

    What if he let the survivors have a turn; killing all those who were put in a round with them. It surely would be a way to wipe the smug look off of the killers faces.

    or

    the Specter swaps the survivors with the killers for fun

But what would happen if the roles within the war were swapped, all except the Kamado siblings? Can they still end the Demon progenitor of this world? How would the Corps and Demons change under different leaders that grew in a different environment? Well… How about we see for ourselves?
