Summary
Unheavenly Creatures on New Earth - Gunsmoke where the Fall never happened, but two plant youngsters still very much struggle with living in a world made for humans.
This is Part one of the series. Part two starts with 'heaven help them' (co-created with Rucifie! <3)
The underage tag is debatable. The twins are kinda acting like teenagers, there is some der underage kissing and they are independent plants who are like 3 to 4 years old. Oo
But starting this fic they look like late teens/early twenties.

Approval (Living for Beginners #3) by RK1000 (GirlOfLetters)
Fandoms: Detroit: Become Human (Video Game)
22 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
A short little thing, part of the "Living for Beginners" series but can be read separately.
Connor 51 fell off the roof and Connor 52 is being plagued by some unwanted existential questions about who he is. Then he meets Amanda and Hank for the first time and discovers what he really craves (as much as a machine can crave anything) - approval.
Another rehashing of events from the game with Connor's inner monologue added and there might be quite a bit of that for various characters in this series but I promise we will also eventually get to original scenes. There's just a lot of grounwork to set.

loved andlost Buffy Summers, Cordelia finds herself writing letters to a dead girl in an attempt to process her own feelings.- - - - -
Dear Buffy,
If you had to die, couldn’t you at least have become a ghost? Not forever, but, just for a little while? You know, to say your goodbyes before you moved on to whatever comes after life? Because I wish I could’ve talked to you one more time.
Not that, if you were a ghost, it would’ve ever occurred to you to visit me.

Summary
After the wrap-up of another exhausting performance season at the International, Elvis is having one of his worst weeks in recent memory, and ditching his Vegas entourage to go undercover for an afternoon of desperately needed peace and quiet doesn't quite go the way he hopes.
Until you -- a gutsy, free-spirited stranger -- help him escape from a mob of overenthusiastic fans, and you both decide to get the heck out of dodge for a multi-day adventure that neither of you will ever forget. Can a shift in scenery and company help Elvis change the trajectory of his increasingly challenging life and career?
i.e. Elvis receives a great kindness from strangers, instead of what's usually the other way around. A fix-it fic of sorts.
__
“Have you given anymore thought about where I can take you?” you ask.
“Yeah,” Elvis says surprisingly easily at that. “Anywhere but here.”

After receiving a mysterious letter describin' the location of a treasure, King Dedede sets out on a li'l treasure hunt. Dark caves, strange crystals, competitors for the prize...he can handle it all! What's a li'l facin' yer fears to a king? Just a challenge, that's what! Surely nothin' will go wrong this time, right?
Heh. He should've known not to tempt fate. Now his competitor's Kirby, the treasure's a bust 'n' that cave's a whole lot deeper, darker 'n' more oppressive than it was when they went in. Darn it! If only they'd told someone where they'd gone! At least the rock-solid rivals still have each other.
All is not lost, though: the determined duo of Meta Knight and Bandee are on their way! Will they turn the tide, overcome the darkness of the cave and find them in time to have the most awkward recovery sleepover ever? Or will the cave give them all their eternal sleep instead?
But seriously: what in the world is up with this cave? Why do the locals shun this place like the plague? What if the real threat was the existential dread we picked up along the way?

Summary
Hirrus Callabryn is cursed. Afflicted. Infected.
He’s also aware. For once.
After a player-led event turns his once peaceful town into a band of ravenous monsters, Hirrus obtains a sentience usually unobtainable by non-player characters. It might be a gift of the gods, or a mistake, but Hirrus doesn’t care. It means he can track down and find the players responsible and stop them from doing it again.
Thing is, players don’t like their plans being interrupted. And in this game, there’s no resurrection until the weekly reset. Will Hirrus be able to cut a path of destruction across the land to get his revenge, or will the players be able to overwhelm him and bring him to justice?

Summary
Ink is often thought of by the inhabitants of the AUs as a "god" but that is far from the truth. In reality, Ink is the Creation Mechanism, a tool created by Fate to serve the Creators in their creation of AUs. But Fate didn't realize what that would truly mean, especially in a multiverse with limited capacity. Fate warned Ink about this, but the Creators are heedless to it, so it really doesn't matter if Ink even remembers the warning.
Frustrated and desperate to do something to prevent catastrophe, Fate creates Error, a Balancer who is actually under her control, to try and curb the issue, but it isn't clear whether that will be enough. And Error isn't as willing to go along with his new role as Ink is.
Ink has always felt it wasn't his place to question the Creators or his role in the Multiverse, but when he meets Error, that begins to change.
Meanwhile, Destiny watches in the background, as she always does, plotting a way to free them both from the chains of Balance. And the duo's friends don't intend to stand idly by either.
