Summary
In an 1894 letter to Friedrich von Hausegger, Richard Strauss wrote:
It was six years ago when the idea came to me to write a tone poem describing the last hours of a man who had striven for the highest ideals. The sick man lies in bed breathing heavily and irregularly in his sleep. Friendly dreams bring a smile to the sufferer; his sleep grows lighter; he awakens. Fearful pains once more begin to torture him, fever shakes his body. When the attack is over and the pain recedes, he recalls his past life; his childhood passes before his eyes; his youth with its striving and passions and then, while the pains return, there appears to him the goal of his life’s journey, the idea, the ideal which he attempted to embody, but which he was unable to perfect because such perfection could be achieved by no man. The fatal hour arrives. The soul leaves his body, to discover in the eternal cosmos the magnificent realization of the ideal that could not be fulfilled here below.

A silly thing inspired by reading others fanfiction based on the prompt:
L says "20% likely that you are Kira." to Light, to which Light responds by kissing L on the cheek. L corrects himself to "15% Kira." (and it continues like that...)Bookmarked by Queen

Summary
Shoved back to his nearly dying 17-year-old past self just after the siege in Burial Mounds (for god's sake he just wanted to rest!), Wei Wuxian had realized that (WAIT!) he needs to seize this opportunity to redeem himself and prevent bad things from happening again.
But disguising as a female demonic cultivator was surely not part of the plan.
An AU where Wei Wuxian chose to act behind the scene of the Sunshot Campaign without anyone knowing that he's very much alive and unknowingly widowing and pushing some ice-cold statue into unnecessary mourning.
"Excuse me, I didn't know that I am married!"

Summary
If Wen Qing had realized sooner that she wasn’t in the afterlife or hallucinating, but had actually traveled back in time, she’d have done things differently. There’d have been less murder, for one thing.
