Summary
——Dick’s eyes met with the other that he realized how dense the atmosphere was. The void-like eyes that sucked him in had a look he could never decipher and won’t no matter how many times he has seen it directed towards him.
“Please correct me if I’m gathering all of this wrong, Dick.” Katavi’s voice filled that silence and replaced it with something more unknown. A chill crashed through his joints, his movements rendered useless as he felt a pull from the therapist that sat unmoving until he pushed his glasses up slightly.
“…it appears to me that you are lacking something within yourself. A sense of identity in a way that if I put a mirror up to your face and ask you who you see, you would say every name except your own. You don’t see yourself as a person, perhaps more like an acting number, a performance. These identities, costumes and everything has taken pieces of you until nothing resembles who you are or who you once were. You lost Dick Grayson and rather,”

Summary
"So there are lands to the west of Westeros? Is that what we're meant to believe?" asks Allyria.
Tenoch says something to Iyali and Iyali begins to search through the book for something in particular.
"There have been stories," says Maester Cidrio, "though none of them seriously believed."
"What do the stories say?" asks Edric.
Iyali opens the book to pictures of two people dressed in blue like Tenoch and herself. These people in blue appear to be walking on a journey upon which they encounter another pair of people, dressed in curious leather pants and painted in streaks of red and yellow and white. The council of House Dayne is unsure what to make of this.
"The stories," begins Maester Cidrio, distracted by the images, "say that there is a land on the other side of the Sunset Sea, a land where there is no winter and no death." He ponders the pictures in the book for a moment, "But these are the rumors of sailors - sailors who, I will remind the assembled, also believe in merlings and kraken."
Iyali opens the book to other pictures, of lush forests of exotic plants, of cities with strange stone architecture, and of a dark, foreboding, sun.
"The sailors may be right," says Edric

Summary
#24: High
Normally, Evan considers himself to be a pretty daring person - he is Zeswa, after all, and even to their standards he is more daring than average (or stupid, depending on who you ask). He chases after cloaked panthers on foot once his direhouse gets startled and bucks him off to go find safety further down the plains, away from angry predators that its rider is determined to kill; he breaches the boundaries of the Upper Plains for no other reason than to find something new to bring home to his people, and when he falls in love with a grizzled Omatikaya soldier and his young, disabled adopted son, orphaned by the war, he wears it with pride. Eywa has blessed him with wonders beyond his comprehension - why should he fret over their alliances? The Omatikaya and the Zeswa are not at war, they’re just different; and sure, he may be spending much of his time away from home now, climbing over roots and collecting tree fruit, but the Zeswa are perpetual travellers anyways. He was made to do this.
But even to him, what Edi is wanting him to do right now is terrifying.
or; edi (eddie) wants evan to ride on his ikran with him but evan is secretly acrophobic

Summary
Genin Haruno Sakura, number 012601, is assigned a top-secret mission from the Hokage. She spent 6 and a half years fighting in the Third Shinobi War, ANBU for 1, and the Fourth Shinobi War for 2 more years.

She accepts. A shinobi must obey their Hokage. She is a shinobi.

Summary
"This is a sacred manuscript found in Tønsberg, the oldest city of Norway. It was originally carved into a rock, then copied on parchment and hidden in a temple. The original carving is dated to the 9th century, however the manuscript itself probably had been written in the 11th. We don't know the origins of the text, or the language it's written in. However, as some characters hold a resemble to old runic alphabet it is suspected that this might be a piece of ritualistic writing, or a prayer..."
There was a snicker in the back of the crowd.
"Pete, I'm sorry, but this is hilarious."
The group parted to reveal a black haired man, now holding to Parker's shoulder, bended in half from laughter.
"Sacred manuscript, my arse."

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FAMILIAL KIND by PaintedVanilla for MartiansFromMars
Fandoms: Invader Zim
24 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Zim is Irken. Celia knows this because she is Irken, too. Zim held her as a smeet. Zim is 7,000 years old, and a rebel, and he knows exactly who Celia is. He can't comment on that, though, on account of his PAK currently serving as a surveillance device for the Irken Empire. If he let slip that he cares for Celia like a sister, The Hive would recognize his treason and execute him remotely.
So Zim is pretending to be a loyal Irken soldier, and on top of that he's pretending to be insane, and on top of that he's pretending to be a human middle schooler, and Celia is politely pretending not to know who he is, and Dib is fairly convinced that Zim is an alien, so Celia has taken it upon herself to gaslight him to hell and back about it, and Gretchen has a crush on Dib, and Keef has a crush on Zim, and Dib has a crush on Celia, and Celia is handling this remarkably well, considering she's also an alien pretending to be a human middle schooler, the major difference being she actually is twelve.
It sounds like a lot to balance, but rest assured, she does not need to get her parents involved. She is more than capable of handling it herself.

Summary
The Academy had been Jayce's dream school since he was thirteen, and he was super excited to finally be going there. And also kind of nervous, because he'd never been away from home for more than a weekend, and he'd emailed the guy who was supposed to be his roommate and the guy had never responded, so that was a little worrisome, because Jayce thought he'd managed to be super chill in the email but he was never really sure and Jayce didn't really have that many friends because everyone said he was so intense, but he didn't know any other way to be.

"Oh, you're already here." Viktor's roommate stepped further into the room, his arms bulging with stuff, followed by an older woman who was almost certainly his mother. He dropped his shit on the empty bed, then stuck out his hand. "So, hi, I'm Jayce."
"Viktor," he said, and stood up to take Jayce's hand on autopilot, because the only thing that he could actually think was Oh no, he's hot.
