Summary
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all. Mirror, Mirror, time and space, strange new lover, same old face.
S/U finds themselves in a distressing situation when particles from a ion storm work in sync and transport AOS Nyota and Mirror Nyota into the other's universe. While Mirror Spock is intrigued by the prospect, he soon finds out that AOS Nyota Uhura is not the docile, pretty face he makes her out to be.
AOS Spock meanwhile feels like he's been placed inside a nightmare as Mirror Nyota has him worried of about what madness she might plan next. What no one expects as they wait for the next storm to set things straight is for all of them to fall in love. Can AOS S/U make it out unscathed and intact after the being cast on opposite sides of the looking glass? Will Mirror S/U learn that there's more to a relationship than the cold comfort of lust and physical affection?

Summary
Natasha wasn't created to be gentle. The title of Black Widow belonged only to the strong and ruthless. She had red in her ledger, and she was washing it out, one drop at a time. She wasn't ignorant; she knew she would never absolve herself of her past sins, nor could she expect anyone to be able to look entirely past her history and see who she really was underneath. Perhaps she had never really been anyone but a killer to begin with.
Enter Kendra Hickman, an ex-SHIELD agent that broke past her barriers with nothing but a kind smile on her face. Her eyes were always free of judgment, fear, or blame, and maybe it had been too long since Natasha had seen that acceptance in anyone because, against her better judgment, the assassin finds herself falling.

Summary
It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave adoration. For validation. You were made to be loved. In the end, you will always seek it. Should you not find it where we are meant to- you will find it in the deepest abyss and darkest corners that this world has to offer.

Summary
When the previous Qing Jing Peak Lord forces Shen Jiu to make a friend with a fellow Head Disciple for the sake of "sect unity" and possibly Shen Jiu's own good by threatening to take Shen Jiu's current position if he didn't present a friend in a few months. Shen Jiu finds an easy target in Shang Qinghua especially when he starts noticing the An Ding Peak Head Disciple is a little shifty. Figuring he could blackmail Shang Qinghua into a fake friendship to keep his position as Qing Jing Peak Head Disciple, Shen Jiu finds out about Shang QInghua's tall, cold, and blue secret. Concerned for his Shidi's health and unwillingness to part from the Demon Lord, Shen Jiu has no choice but to mediate their interactions until both he and Mobei Jun drive Shang Qinghua away. Only to find him with a baby he calls his own in his arms.
Or what if Shang Qinghua became two prickly cat's emotional support hamster and was raising a puppy at the same time?

Summary
Takes place after Itadori gets his heart ripped out. A little out of character, and not entirely canon accurate because I have a bad memory (LOL). Kind of Fushiguro centric but it's 3rd person so it switches around. Just a little fun experimenting with writing! Enjoy!

Summary
There’s a ball of ice in his belly. Always been there, but some days it’s bigger ‘n’ harder ‘n’ colder than others. The first time it grew so big that it choked him was back when he was nine, and his daddy was laughing at a man in a ditch, holding Ennis by the neck so he couldn’t look away.
A kind-of novelization of Brokeback Mountain from Ennis' point of view. Strong focus on Ennis's anxiety and his feelings of lust and love, represented metaphorically because that boy is too repressed for anything else.

Summary
Told mostly through the observation logs of Dr. Hinako Iwasaki, a behavioral analyst working under the Hero Commission, Reports follows the intertwined lives of two children raised within its walls—Takami, Keigo (age 11) and Todoroki, Touya (age 13).
Through Iwasaki’s professional notes and deeply personal reflections, the story traces the boys’ growth, struggles, and fragile bond as they navigate the Commission’s strict programs. Keigo wrestles with impatience and attachment issues; Touya battles trust, anxiety, and self-harm.
As the years pass, Dr. Iwasaki’s detached reports begin to blur with genuine care, revealing not only the boys’ development but the humanity often lost behind institutional walls.
Featuring supporting characters Mika Tatsumi, the head nurse/doctor, and Mato Tatsumi, the head trainer—Reports offers an intimate look at childhood, trauma, and connection through the eyes of the one tasked to observe it all.- Language:
