Vladislava has always been on her own; she knew nothing like 'family' or 'home.' It was always her, trying to get by every single day since the day she came into the Red Room.

Summary
Puddles of ink covered his words so severely that much of it was intelligible even when he knew exactly what he had meant to write; yet, one of the few parts he could make out again was the name staring back at him: Minami Ayata.
The pseudonym was a nice blanket of comfort to pen under for a man like Misono Reon, who would much rather enjoy his niche popularity from the shadows than risk the danger that would inevitably follow him. Something was always better than nothing, after all. He flexed his fist, loose but contemplative all the same, as he mulled over what the worst circumstances could ever realistically be; it was an internal battle he fought every time he picked up his brush, that hit him tenfold each time his work was accepted and published, and insurmountably when those inauthentic syllables would pass the lips of those around him.
Werewolf Reon/vampire Nayuta set in 1907 Japan

with the words i thought i'd never speak by SebastianMishaScott

Summary
Wait, you cared? No, you didn’t. That thought was simply not right. You couldn’t care for someone after those two soul-sucking weeks of either shooting someone in the face or spending hours scrapping their insides from the floors and walls. You couldn’t- You couldn’t, right? But everyone was gone and he was the only one left. If it would’ve been anyone else, like that cheerful man, would you have grown to care about them too? Or was there something special, something peculiarly captivating about Yesenin’s melancholic frown, spite for the world and a bad posture, that combined with his unnatural height surely must have put him through pain every single day? Maybe there was. Or maybe it was a gas leak that turned your brain into mush and reverted your thinking to your teenage years.
Fuck, you just woke up and you’re already exhausted.As the Protagonist, on the 14th day you bunker down in the basement with the only survivng human. And some things develop.

Only this time, he faced Tom Riddle—a man, for now, whose name will be the cause of the other’s destiny and demise.

Cordova's Padawan by albedobrave
Fandoms: Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order Series (Video Games)
04 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
"Are any of your brothers-?”
“Cere killed them.” Trilla cut him off. In a way, they were cruelly fortunate that Seekers did not have a full battalion under their command, it had meant less troopers to betray them in the end.
Cal barely seemed shocked. “Mine didn't get their chips out in time either,” he frowned, faltering in his tracks for a few moments before hauling himself up onto the next ledge.
Trilla already knew that. They'd lost a lot of Jedi, almost too many to name, but even she'd heard that they'd lost Jaro Tapal to his battalion - and recovered his tiny padawan from the scrap heaps of Bracca.
No one had expected Cordova to train another padawan, but he had taken a chance on Cal when his world had been shattered. What survived of the Jedi Order had been recovering from Palpatine's half-quashed plan for almost a decade now, and Cal had been too, until his second Master disappeared.
With a newly knighted Trilla left to supervise him, they set out to find Cordova together and find someone else along the way.

Summary
“Okay. If you don't like your wish and you don't like mine, if you had a do-over, what would you ask for?” Ray asks, unimpressed, like this is a dare that he doesn't expect Pete to be able to complete.
Pete had spent a lot of time thinking about this after the Walk. It’s near impossible not to, really; you’re given the hardest choice you’ll ever make after the most horrific few days of your life, and you have forever to stew in the consequences of it. Pete has been stewing in it, indeed. “Do you really think you can wish for anything?” he asks. “It shouldn’t have been possible to get that kid an elephant so soon, but—”
“You want a magical wish, then? Like a fucking genie? It’s all hypothetical anyway. Go for it.”
Their feet move in tandem, like soldiers. The horrible ache in Pete’s stomach has gone away. This is the only time it ever goes away: here, in a dream, with Ray. “Well, I’d ask if I could just go on walking with you forever.”
---
If Pete McVries had another chance, he'd choose a different wish. Post-Canon Garraty/McVries Fix-It.

Summary
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune is dangerous only once he learns how to weaponize it.”
When the naive, awkward daughter of a barber-surgeon strikes an unlikely friendship with the notoriously disagreeable Lord Beckett during her time aboard the HMS Endeavour, her tale darkens as she’s suddenly drawn deeper into his world of ambition and betrayal.
**
Starts off pre TCBP, and ends AWE.
Follows the events from The Price of Freedom with an eventual, adult-oriented twist.
Partial Cutler Beckett backstory, partial coming-of-age trope for an 18th century woman.
A healthy dose of Pride & Prejudice references.
