    Summary

    Read the tags on this one - I don't think it's quite graphic enough for full archive warnings, but your mileage may vary.

    Alagadda doesn't have rules, it has roles, and the only sin in Alagadda is breaking character. Most of the citizens are content in the endless carnival, but a city of decadence and hedonism eventually becomes torture if one's only permitted trait is sadness.

    In some ways, SCP-035 prefers to be exiled. However, one of its fellow Lords believes that exiling the Wearer of the Anguished Mask only made things worse and that it should be brought back to sit on the Black Throne again.

    Summary

    There are terrible things in the Vast. The endless void of space. The crushing depths of the sea. The sickening heights of the sky. But perhaps worst of all?

    Sometimes you have to interact with your extended family.

    Summary

    The main characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender as different Avatars from The Magnus Archives.

    --

    There is a boy, with eyes like a stormcloud, deep and fathomless. He has arrows tattooed on his head, on his arms. When you ask about them he laughs, and says ‘when I’m upside down’ as though that was all the explanation. He asks if you want to do something fun, a roller coaster, skydiving, a trampoline park.

    When you agree, it is fun, at first.

    You close your eyes to protect them from the rushing wind. When you open them again, the ground is gone. There is no down. There is only sky, and you are falling. Beside you he laughs, bright and joyous and childlike, though it can hardly be heard over your screams. His arrows are pointed up, wherever that is.

    As he cannonballs past you for the 3rd, 8th, 19th, 76th time he says that ‘fear is what makes it fun’. His ‘woops’ cover your sobs.

    Summary

    Clara stares at the letter she found in the mail, she stared and reread it and tried in vain to comprehend what exactly did just happen. She could read the words, she understood their meaning, it's just that they made no bloody sense.
    The letter read something like this:
    Clara Lukas, you are cordially invited to the wedding of Peter Lukas and Elias Bouchard. It will be celebrated the-
    And it went on, it had no family seal, and the actual place of the party was not Mooreland, it seems to be in a state out of the city.
    What the hell?

    Summary

    AU that was come up with on a shitposting group at 4 am. After Mary goes bye Gerry is left alone and the Avatars can't have this boy who learned to read on Leitners be free roaming. So now they're his family.
    If you're expecting a steady timeline or canon compliancy you need to look elsewhere. Danny is alive. Gertrude is gone at some point. And timing of this is very weird near intentionally. (Blame The Spiral)
    Many of the Leitner's I come up with from this fic come from another FB group, I'm not that creative.

    Summary

    “Sleep Peter” And that's it, Clara leaves and Peter enters his room feeling…conflicted, there is something warm and cold in his gut. As he goes back to his covers he turns and stares at the shadow man watching over him next to his bed.
    Peter blinks up at him with a sense of dread, he- well he looks like a shadow, the only reason why he thinks he is a man is because of the shape of his body, it reminds him a bit too much of what most Lukas look like - Ignores the man and turns around hiding under the covers, hoping he is gone by morning.
    The thing had no features on its face and if he had, Peter could not recognize them.

    Summary

    It’s 1888, London, England.
    The streets of the city have been quite empty at night recently, a violent killer ripping his way through london. Not a soul in sight; save for the Dr. Edward Hyde
    Edward Hyde is an awkward gentleman, not one for the best bedside manners. But his work is excellent, highly respected. That is, until he starts dabbling in human experimentation.
    He believes all of man kind is good or evil, purely one or the other. And he is willing to split himself in two to prove that fact.
    His one question always remains, how can he fix that that is fundamentally different about him?
    ———
    The Strange Case of Doctor Edward Hyde is about a man struggling with undiagnosed Autism in the Victorian era, learning how to accept himself despite the general publics idea of him. This story is made to connect with other Neurodivergent folks who have also been othered by peers, and how we aren’t something that needs to be “fixed.”

    Summary

    Michael Shelley is sacrificed to the Spiral before he has the chance to come out, even to himself. Now, as an avatar of the Spiral, his identity is even MORE painful and confusing. Alone and filled with pain he doesn't even know how to name, he searches for acceptance in the one person who ever really knew him-Gerry Keay.
    ***
    “What do you want to be called then,” Gerry says and wraps his arms around Michael’s back.
    This conversation hurts. This question hurts. Everything hurts, so long as no one knows about his gender, so long as he has to go on being someone he’s not, someone he just can’t be anymore. He doesn’t know how much longer he can stand it.
    “I dunnooooo,” he says, grinning, but inside he knows his name isn’t Michael. It’s just not. He doesn’t have a name. He never has. And it’s absence is like a hole in his chest.
    The creature that might as well be called Michael, it supposes, if you have to call it anything, thinks about this conversation while it sits on the ceiling of its hallway and slowly digs grooves into the plaster with its fingers.
    Gerry, it thinks desperately. I have to find Gerry.

    Summary

    Peter knows the script by heart. Half of the year married, half of the year divorced. Free. Like some twisted version of the Persephone myth. He knows the routine. He likes it. It has a sort of charm to it. Which is why he is so incredibly pissed when Elias decides to change the rules, and not just the rules of their marriage but of the world itself.

    How dare his husband turn their wedding day into a Beholding ritual.

    Summary

    You were an isle unto thyself
    You had a heart you hadn't felt

    Quarantine.
    So, things had to be slower. That was fine. Elias could do slow—he could do patience. He was the very image of it.
    Ah. Aha.
    A thought popped into his head like a spring suddenly launching and he recoiled at it like it were visceral—real.
    Today, I’m… not going to peek at anyone. I’m not going to intrude. I’m not going to bother. Nothing has changed.

    Why would it hurt me
    Or was it real

    Summary

    The Nothing consumes, the Nothing engulfs, and Tim can't quite put into words exactly how something which doesn't really exist takes up so much space. It's been a little bit over a year since he first understood exactly how small a life is, how little impact upon the grand scheme of the universe one person can have, no matter how influential. The other Avatars of Terminus are the only ones who have that same knowledge, and even the Archivist can't see it in its entirety.

    Or: Tim reflects on his nature, and then there's some self-indulgent fluff because I'm weak

    Summary

    Tim didn’t come back quite right, his elbows turned to ball-joints, his fingers no longer quite as clever or quite as graceful due to their rigidity, the waxy plastic of his body melting and reforming when he’s not paying enough attention to it. It’s like the Stranger tried to consume him and then spit him right back out, Tim’s taste too bitter, too sure of himself, just for the fire and the destruction to claim him moments later.

    Jon supposes it wouldn’t be the first time Tim tried to flirt with two beings at once and ended up in trouble because of it.
