Summary
Rashad Al-Saif is a wandering Redguard bard whose words weave magic he can scarcely control. For his entire life, he’s believed himself blessed—or perhaps cursed—by the divine. Driven to Skyrim by the Ancient Song that flows through his veins, Rashad is thrust into a land ravaged by conflict. As the power of the Dovahkiin stirs within him, he must navigate the turmoil of war, ancient prophecies, and even older gods. Caught between fates beyond his understanding, Rashad’s voice may be his greatest weapon. But will it bring salvation—or destruction?

Summary
Alex Mercer is a competent but unremarkable Armored Core pilot working jobs to provide for his younger sister, Dana. When a seemingly routine contract leads him to an abandoned lab, Alex encounters a horrific bioweapon: the Coral Virus. Merging with his AC, Blacklight, Alex becomes something far more than human—and far less.
As he struggles to survive bounty hunters, corporate conspiracies, and his own unraveling identity, Alex must decide whether to embrace the Coral’s vision for the future or fight to remain himself. But what does it mean to be human when even your memories betray you?

Character Poems - Backstories by SnappingRedwoos

Summary
This is my first venture into the world of poetry, and I’ve decided to use it as a way to explore and tell the backstories of my original characters. Each poem dives into their struggles, transformations, and the journeys that shaped them into who they are. From tales of loss and devotion to themes of tragedy and hope, I’m experimenting with this format and would love to hear your feedback.
Every chapter is named after a song, because I'm not good at making names for these poems.

Summary
One day, the Rubicon Liberation Front surrendered. They signed treaties, brokered deals with the PCA, and left their dying planet behind, leaving the corporations to tear it apart. The war between Balam and Arquebus raged until word of Rubicon’s destruction spread across the galaxy, forcing them to withdraw.
Many thought that was the end of Rubicon.
Then, the fires started.
Rubicon burned, its flames visible across the stars, consuming everything and everyone. The planet was left a lifeless husk.
Nearly a decade later, 621 and Walter, haunted by their past, have drifted from system to system, searching for a place to belong. On the verge of returning to mercenary work, they discover the underground world of MT Brawling—a brutal, illegal sport where mechs clash in savage melee combat. For 621, this is more than just a fight. It’s a chance to reclaim something lost, even as Rubicon’s shadow still looms.

Summary
“You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature” - The Song of Achilles
Hadrian is a spear- there's no denying it. He is sharp, he hurts those around him (near or far, it doesn’t much matter) and most of all, he stabs the feet that mistake him for a stick.
Against the clock, Hadrian must learn the difference between living and surviving, love and hate; sacrifice and surrender.
How does a boy reared for war and forged in hate learn to love?

Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
Little Whinging, Surrey is a place where individuality goes to die. Row after row of identical houses line the streets with pristine, white picket fences and perfectly pruned hedges and house perfectly normal families. Those who live on Privet Drive are no exception to this.
But there is one little boy who does not fit into that mould.
Little Hari Potter, who has befriended snakes and knows their ways, hears his neighbors whispering of things he wanted them to notice and says, “Aunt Petunia, did you hear? Mrs. Number Six thinks we’re too poor to afford clothes for two children. I heard her talking about asking the neighbors for donations for us. Isn’t that nice of her? I know that I’m a huge burden on you all, so I’m glad that someone is stepping up to help out.”
And that simply will not do. The Dursleys care more for their reputation than anything else, and so things slowly but surely begin to change as a result.
The Hari Potter who arrives at Hogwarts could never sort anywhere but Slytherin.

Grindelwald Adopts the Master of Death by PinkAvidReader
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Movies)
16 Jan 2024

Summary
Harry Potter is the Master of Death and, as such, an immortal. He has reincarnated into the past, future, other dimensions, and countless other impossibilities. Suffice to say, Harry Potter has lived many, many lives, and - this time - he gets to choose where he goes.
There's just one catch: He always starts out as a baby, and this life will be no different.
-
Grindelwald was not expecting for there to be a child in the villa - an infant, really. He'd entered the room after hearing a faint cry, and the juvenile simply stared up at him with wide, emerald eyes, head tilted in what could only be guileless curiosity. And then the boy, no older than three, turned into a fine, black mist that darted out of sight.
