Summary
“Let me melt you so that I can reach your heart.”
Henry, so desperately, craved it. He, so very badly, wanted to touch Zack—to hug him, to hold hands with him, and perhaps even kiss him.
But Zack was untouchable. He was golden, with his eyes being rays of light, and his hair flaxen. And Zack knew it too. He had believed it too.
Which was why it hurt so bad when they both realized that he wasn’t any of those incredible things.
Or;
Five chapters where Zack initiates physical affection, and the one chapter Henry does.

Summary
"with a right hand placed on the / trunk feels that her heart still trembles under the new bark, / and having embraced the branches as limbs with his own arms / he gives the wood kisses, and the wood shrinks from the kisses."
- Daphne and Apollo (Ovid's Metamorphoses)
After a decade (more or less) abandoned in Pandora's Vault, completely alone, Dream escapes with the help of a god and a demon, hellbent on getting revenge on his server for what they did to him. But things are far from simple, as he barters with both them and his own broken body for more time alive -- and only get harder when he calls in a favor with an old friend.
Because his Warden is hunting him.
Only one question remains: how long can he keep this up?
And is he really still in control? -

Summary
There was a certain… Indifference that Peter Parker carried with him. Every moment of his life–every heartbreak, kiss, death, celebration–washed over Peter without garnering much of a reaction. There was an emptiness in his sad eyes. An indifference.
It wasn’t that Peter Parker didn’t or couldn’t love, or that he couldn’t feel. He could. He did! He felt everything. There was a barrier: a waterfall that lay between Peter Parker and Peter Parker’s feelings. Peter Parker sat behind the waterfall, let the stream of his emotions wash over the rocks in front of him. He saw them. He acknowledged them. He didn’t dare dive in. -

Summary
Reilendir Tetsfeld, elven prince of Nilukri, turns their back on the monotony of their royal home life and runs away from their kingdom in search of adventure. While taking a moment to meditate on the flow of an enchanted creek in the woods, they meet a mysterious maiden, an oracle belonging to a secretive religious order. There are considerable consequences that go so far beyond anything that they could have ever expected it isnt even funny. Post-structuralist gamified soap opera, close-quarters science fiction horror, non-linear familial melodrama, heavy RPG elements, narrative abstraction, identity anarchy, the metaphysical and philosophical implications of game mechanics, dungeon crawling, death, meaning, betrayal, shifting alliances, narrative coherency as a cage. Based on a dream I had in 2019.

Summary
(Reposted. Originally uploaded 2024-12-08)
Work wears at Mr. Inference's nerves. It makes him jumpy, makes his mind crawl beneath his skin, makes him uneasy in his seat. To cure his ails he goes across the little house office to go visit White, the latest recruit, their clairvoyant, and his fast friend- and the boy offers a simple tarot reading. Naib doesn't expect the cards to imply that he thinks of White as more than workplace friends.
For @orcagang on twt.
Naib grits his teeth again, mouth aching like a lonely dog worrying at one bone too much. He feels that his ribs worry at the meat of his soul, under the pit of his heart. Are the cards trying to say he should leave his job? Are they telling White about some curling of distaste regarding him? He wants to reach over the table, grab the boy by the scarf, rattle him and say something worthwhile. Nothing comes out of his mouth. He sits there with his hat crumpled in his lap from where he had kept a vice grip on it. “Get on with it, please.”

Summary
The human race, more commonly known as the Anthri people, have achieved dominion over the galaxy. Now the most important thing is to fill it with more humans. The galaxy may be immense, but it is made almost entirely of inhospitable worlds, and there is nowhere near enough organic material to feed an empire so large. The growing Anthri population-- those who can't afford food or clean air-- are forced to contort themselves into things more machine than human and live off of silicon. All the while, the threat of their supposedly extinct enemies lurks at the edges of the galaxy, held at bay only by the glamorous, idolized Xanarel. In a society where humans are sacred and failing to produce more is a sin against the race and the universe, any variation in gender or sexuality is grounds for excommunication. On opposite ends of the Xanarel entertainment feed, two bands of outcasts struggle to navigate the galaxy as they process their own identities and places in the great, spiraling universe.

Summary
“To love life you have to be alright with a little chance, but you can’t let it own you.”
Otacon flicks the coin. Snake’s hand catches it easily. “Do you love life, Otacon?”
He opens his mouth to speak. To ask him what kind of question is that or say that yes, he does. He cannot meet Snake’s eyes.
Something warm is pressed into his hands. Heads.
“We’ll just have to work on that aspect, huh?”
***
To be loved is to be changed. Otacon’s been doing a lot of changing ever since he met Snake.

First she is strictly protestant, then she is lost in a state of aetheism-inducing despair, then she finds God.A french sculptor who is skilled with his hands and a german painter who really like the sculptors hands. On her.

Essays to no one become letters to someone, when that someone will listen....
Or a collection of reflectional essays (that progress to letters) by Patroclus and Achilles, exploring their trauma, hardship, and an aching search for something unnamed— even though they don't know what it is yet. And though they write in secret, on scraps of parchment hidden from the world, their words have a way of finding the eyes and ears meant to receive them.Or a Pen Pal/long distance friendship fic!
What must be seen is seen. What must be spoken finds its voice.
The Fates are not always cruel. -

Summary
“You’re right.” Antinous cocked his head, the smirk having returned with double the sadistic strength. “Maybe you are just crazy, puppy. Maybe you really are just making up monsters in your head, bedtime stories without a daddy to tell them to. Funny how, even in your dreams, your fears persist.”
“I am not afraid of you.” His voice gives only the slightest of tremors.
Telemachus is being haunted by his worst enemy. Only his worst enemy is still alive, and maybe this mysterious ghost isn’t quite what he seems.
