Summary
“He is here,” came Mithrandir’s voice. A statement, not a question. She did not turn to him but nodded, still tracing the rigging with her fingertips. “And I was wrong,” he added.
She looked up then.
“I did not believe there would be anything left but an impotent spirit of malice.”
“What are you telling me?” Uncertain, searching her friend’s face for answers.
“There will be a reckoning in Aman."
----------
A tale following our favorite fated pair from the beginning of the Fourth Age to beyond the Dagor Dagorath.

Summary
Gwen survived Bullseye. She got back Cecil from beyond the veil. She was rebuilding her life, and getting used to the quirks of this fictional world she was living in. Excitement was sure to come soon, she was just waiting for the next arc to pick up.
In a different world, closer to Canon as we know it, there was another Gwen Poole. There was an infinite number of universes, and in them an infinite number of Gwen Pooles, telling an infinite number of stories. But this one was angry. And the writer behind it was giving her carte blanche to work out all the anger and frustration that had been building up inside her for far too long.
She wasn't letting her future be decided by a poll, or a sales chart. Never again.Series

Summary
Between concern over strange chaos energy emitting from Sonic's storybook and a longing to see a certain knight, Shadow and Sonic both have reasons for wanting to visit the world of Camelot. After finding their way there, Sonic is surprised to discover that, unbeknownst to him before, he, too, has a double — the ruler of the kingdom, a very real King Arthur, who is apparently on horribly bad terms with his closest knight, Sir Lancelot. After a terrible falling out between the two and a life-or-death ultimatum from the king, Shadow shocks everyone by taking Lancelot's place. Now in exile, Lancelot is brought into Sonic's world, and the knight must contend with the often devastatingly drastic differences he encounters. Meanwhile, through a series of events, Shadow eventually finds himself in the position of Arthur's queen; though not all is well as he navigates what that entails and as crises emerge in the kingdom.
As the dynamics in each relationship take shape, the four of them learn more about themselves, each other, and their counterparts than they ever knew before; but when the source of the strange chaos energy makes itself known, all bets are off.

A boy wakes up with no memories in a dangerous Hollow—untouched by ether, yet able to wield it. As he struggles to find purpose in this unfamiliar life, the bonds he forms with those around him will shape the path he chooses to walk into the future.

Summary
Alt 2014 - Cas had known of course, going in... There had been no doubt in his mind that things were not going to end well, for any of them, and he had walked to his death with a sense of finality, of peace. But of course, he should have known his father would be a cruel bastard, even at the end.
2020 - Jack was struggling. He might have been God now, but at the end of the day he was still a kid- still half human, and he missed Castiel. Try as he might to convince the empty to set him free, he had yet to be successful, and while he was mourning, it seemed like his struggles were nothing compared to Dean's. He hadn't wanted to lose him too... but after he had swooped in last second to pour life back into the man, healing the damage from the rogue piece of rebar, Dean had stopped trying to fake it... and that was almost worse.
Sam was tired. Roles were reversed, trying to essentially parent his shut-down brother all while trying to live for himself for a change was painfully smothering. He was terrified to let Dean tag along on any hunts, for fear of a repeat performance. But he was equally worried about leaving him alone in the bunker for any significant amount of time. But someone had to keep on fighting.

Summary
Chuuya Nakahara was abandoned by his partner, Osamu Dazai—a betrayal that cuts deeper than he’s willing to admit. He tells himself it doesn’t matter; he hates him anyway. But the pain lingers, and he can’t decide what stings more: his bruised ego, his aching heart, or the bubbling rage clawing its way to the surface, threatening to consume him.

Summary
Taichi shifted his weight from foot to foot. The car rocked gently. A group of boys in blazers boarded at the next stop, talking too loudly about an away game. Futaba looked down at her shoes.
At the transfer station, they stepped off together. This was where they’d split—his line ran west; hers ran east, toward the art and design campus.
--------
College pulls Taichi and Futaba in different directions.
They still meet, still smile, but it’s not the same.
Taichi doesn’t know when the feelings changed—just that he thinks about Touma too much.
It’s not heartbreak, exactly—just something quieter that never quite lets go.OR
just another fic focusing on what happened in the time skip near the end of the manga exploring/explaining how Taichi and Futaba broke up and how he ended up with Touma. this is a SLOW burn it will be a while before things start to heat up, tags get updated as the fic updates
