Summary
Maggot, pupae and worm, the trains writhe through the station; thousands of footsteps echoing like an off-key choir, thousands of faces passing by in ivory. Carved and motionless. Oblivious to him, to what he’s done, to who he is becoming.
As he sits there, salt-licked and still rocking with the tide, a burn in his stomach reminds him that maybe there is still some of him left–something he’s not sure is good or bad.
Please, mind the gap, man of God; lest you fall too far.

Celestial mechanics by neenious for Alario

Summary
Questionable physics jokes, undeniable chemistry.
On the eve of Progress Day, sophomore Viktor stays up late in the library, working on a project. He is not very good at communicating with other students, but he excels in mechanics. However, today, even this does not help him: Viktor did not account for the difference in air density between his native Zaun and Piltover in his calculations. As it's too late to go home before the bridge between the cities closes, he decides to take a break and stumbles upon an unfinished project left in the library by someone else.
The rest is history.
I added a Mature rating just because of chapter 23, it is not graphic, but feel free to skip it if it is not your thing!

Summary
Накануне Дня Прогресса второкурсник Виктор сидит в библиотеке ночью и чертит конкурсный проект. У него не очень хорошо обстоят дела с общением с другими студентами - зато очень хорошо с механикой. Но сегодня и это ему не помогает: Виктор не учёл в своих расчётах разницу между плотностью воздуха в его родном Зауне и Пилтовере. Опаздывая домой до закрытия моста между городами, он решает пойти развеяться, но натыкается на оставленный в библиотеке кем-то другим незаконченный проект.
The rest is history.
Что ещё будет в этой истории, кроме физики (и лирики), химии (между Виктором и Джейсом) и механики (земной и небесной)?

Summary
“Why’d you even come, if you were just going to be an ass?” Caitlyn scoffed, sounding angrier than she intended.
“You looked like you wanted company,” Vi shrugged.
“And you took it upon yourself to join me? How noble.”
Crossing her arms, Vi responded, “Well, you were always such a princess.”
Caitlyn nearly gasped. “Oh, like you didn’t always act like you were above me”
“I always did think your opinion of yourself was too high,” Vi seethed.
____________When Caitlyn Kiramman and Violet Lanes met as undergraduates, they immediately hated each other. Nearly twelve years later, the two are professors at the very same university they once attended, forced to share a particularly stingy grant as collaborators. When old wounds reopen, the two must relearn to work together in spite of each other and on behalf of the partnership they once shared.

Summary
The board squeaks as he writes, looping numbers in quick, messy scrawls. Kaminari hesitantly recites the problem. Izuku listens, then frowns at the board.
“No wonder. You’re treating x like it’s a constant.”
“But it is constant—”
“No, x is a hostage,” Izuku says, circling it in red. “And y is leverage. You don’t negotiate with hostages, you manipulate the leverage.”
“…What?”
A blink. Silence.
Todoroki, deadpan: “He’s right.”

Summary
Fluffy grey mold growing on the dishes. William’s fists are clenched now, and his eyes dart wildly about the room. Calm down. There could be an explanation. He’s seen Baker Street, the bottles rolling on the floor, crumpled papers and cigarette butts. The man’s an incurable slob when he’s alone. If he gets caught up in an exciting project, he forgets to even eat or sleep… Could he have forgotten that William was returning today?
When William left, running for the train, he had turned to look back, and Sherly had been leaning against the windowsill, bare chested, watching him go. But just before that...---
William must leave Sherlock for a week. This is the story of the day he departs and the day he returns.

This must be fallacy (because you make me feel so loved) by SpiritArise
Fandoms: Cookie Run (Video Game)

Summary
Shadow Milk Cookie remembers.
They remember the birth of their kind, and the end of witches.
When lifeforms were made of complex carbon, and nitrogenous structures.
There's not much to do but reminisce and dream when one is trapped in a silver tree of their own design.
Shadow Milk Cookie knows this.
They know this well.
____________________________________________________________
Shadow Milk Cookie was never supposed to exist, just as knowledge was never supposed to be granted sentience.
Yet, they do. And though they can't see it, they will do their best to prove that they are good.
And if they find someone with hair like sunshine in a place where fallacy blends with reality?
Well, then perhaps it is fate.

Summary
644版TSN(我试图写得像一部文字电影），喜欢幽灵船的有福了。前后有意义。我感觉75含量还不低。和合集内一样的AU设定，不过没看过也没什么影响。“一个关于性、胜利、天才和背叛的故事。”总之是巴塞罗那梅奔双退十周年贺文（什）。

Summary
As though adjusting himself mid-dream, William stretches his left arm, wrist bared, farther out into the room toward this irresistible man. As he reaches, his hand and wrist enter into a warm rectangle of sunlight from the window, and the white scar left by Sherlock’s nails that night is illuminated. Sherlock’s playing falters, and William can hear a faint intake of breath.

Just a quick experiment to see if I could write an attractive (to me) scene in the injured/passive-Liam vein. And look what happened.

Summary
You can say ‘I love you’ in four seconds. Easily, if you’ve enough practice.
Ekko could say it five times. He knew this from experience. He’d timed it, the words tripping over each other to fall off his tongue aboard Jinx’s ship—if it could be called that—as it made it’s maiden and final voyage towards the battlefield.
Jinx could say it six.
He knew this from experience too.
(A multi-POV look at time, love, hate, and how much can—or cannot—change in four seconds.)

Summary
The attempt to save Looks to the Moon fails — the messenger arrives too late. But for No Significant Harassment, this is not the end. Using forgotten technology, he plunges into a time loop, determined to rewrite what happened. However, interfering with the cycle has its price, and each new attempt brings not only hope but also new, unforeseen problems.
Yes, the title references “Steins;Gate” as a source of inspiration, but the original idea was redesigned, and now there is almost nothing left from this fandom in my work. -
