Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by tsohg a ma I (NinjaGirl2211)
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV), Angel: the Series
04 May 2024

Summary
“Without knowing the precise point from which one parallel reality diverges with another, we are left with no frame of reference to identify it; to isolate one out of an infinite number would be akin to searching for a single grain of sand upon an equally infinite shore…”—Coronos Alexius Appicus "Exploring the Mysteries of The Cosmos" translated by Wesley Wyndam-Pryce
“Yeah, well…life doesn’t come with ruby slippers. And there is no Yellow Brick Road,” she said, wiping the gathering dampness from her eyes. “I learned a long time ago that some of us have to take the long way around to get wherever we’re going—if we even know where we’re going—and run twice as fast to get there when it already takes everything we’ve got just to stay stuck, standing in one spot.” —Thea Graves
In which Dorthea Graves—a 25-year-old college student whose life was already complicated enough—is stranded in a universe she used to think was a TV show.
Then it gets worse.

Summary
The Tri-Wizard cup was a portkey, alright. Harry and Cedric find themselves in Little Hangleton... but it's 1885, a century into the past. Spared the confrontation with Voldemort in the graveyard, Harry now faces the far more daunting task of surviving both the 19th and 20th centuries. And all of that while bickering with Cedric. Luckily, the Gaunts have no heirs and newly-minted prefect Albus Dumbledore is all too happy to welcome Hogwarts' two new students.
Harry and Cedric need to return to their time... and yet... it's so peaceful in the 19th century, right?

Summary
Zelda had no talent whatsoever in honing the ‘divine’ powers of her ancestors. The one her father and everyone else expects her to use in order to save the world from an incoming calamity. Despite her great efforts and fervent prayers, her father gave her no respite, confident that she simply isn’t trying hard enough and forcing her on a trip far away from the castle and the technology she truly cares for. Alongside a silent swordsman that she does not. A chance encounter in an abandoned shrine awakens her finally to her potential, but also comes with a strange guest.
Things turn for the strange when said guest turns out to be an ancient demon who once usurped the very force flowing through her veins. Things turn even stranger when he offers to teach her how to wield it, curious in what she will achieve with all that power. Unable to reject such an offer, Zelda finally obtains the powers she so desperately wanted earlier than she was destined to.
(Or: a long drabble in which Vaati is an evil mentor to Zelda. Because villains teaching heroes is SUCH a vibe)

Cassie has always had a feeling her mum was hiding something. There were rules she didn’t understand, invisible lines she wasn’t allowed to cross, and questions that Marlene McKinnon always refused to answer.

Summary
Cassie sempre soube que sua mãe escondia algo. Havia regras sem explicação, limites que ela não podia ultrapassar e perguntas que Marlene McKinnon nunca respondia. Mas quando sua magia desperta, o maior segredo de todos vem à tona—sua mãe não é somente superprotetora. Ela é uma bruxa vivendo às escondidas.
Por dez anos, Marlene fez de tudo para manter Cassie longe do mundo mágico, escondendo a verdade sob camadas de mentiras e meias-palavras. Mas nenhum segredo dura para sempre. Agora, Cassie está prestes a entrar em um universo que sempre foi seu por direito—um lugar onde varinhas lançam feitiços, fantasmas vagam pelos corredores e escadas parecem ter vontade própria.
Só que Hogwarts não é só magia e diversão—é um mistério esperando para ser desvendado.
Algo sombrio se esconde no castelo. Alunos estão sendo petrificados, congelados pelo medo. Sussurros sobre a Câmara Secreta ecoam pelos corredores, ficando mais assustadores a cada dia. E quando alguém que ela ama desaparece, Cassie se vê diante de uma escolha impossível.
Porque isso não é só um mistério de Hogwarts—é uma armadilha.
Alguns segredos deveriam permanecer enterrados. Mas Cassie? Ela nunca foi de obedecer regras.

Summary
Realizing now that as long as Sephiroth lingers in the Lifestream, all he has to do is win ONCE to destroy all life on the Planet, Nanaki, centuries down the line, decides on a desperate plan - to use the White Materia to beg the Planet to send him back in time to excise Sephiroth from the Lifestream before he can metastasize.
...In another life, Nanaki has talked his way out of Hojo's lab (except for the necessary check-ups he forgets as often as he can) to work with the Turks, which would be all good if the errant voice that whispers to him in his mind hadn't forced him to sit up and take notice of a mercenary defending the last Ancient, and if he hadn't been tasked with a monstrous mission that has him looking for the exit.
His escape lands him with a band of ecoterrorists, a mercenary, and said last Ancient, one of whom his errant whisper insists is IMPORTANT to him, meaning he's stuck with them until he can piece it all together and save the Planet.

Summary
Beatrix was a normal 23 year old girl living a dead-end, depressed life. One day her continually degrading attention to her surroundings and safety result in a terrible accident only for her to wake in an unfamiliar place. She is now in a body almost identical to her own in a completely different world full of magic and fantasy creatures. She then learns that she has taken the place of Beatrix Atlas Earinal Valentina, a powerful noble that shares her first name and is known for her asocial behavior and nasty attitude. Beatrix must now balance learning how to be a noble against the ever-ticking time bomb of her servants discovering that she's a fake and hope beyond hope that she can get enough support on her side to establish herself as the new Mistress of the Valentina territory.
All the while, mysteries about the circumstances of the old Mistress Bea's fate and the untimely deaths of her parents years ago unravel a web of mistrust, lies, and unsavory revelations that threaten to tear Beatrix's plans apart before she even has a chance to enact them. And the worst part? All her maids are hot and that's really distracting!
