Summary
If you could choose a world to be isekaied into, you probably wouldn't choose the videogame Age of Tales.
It's a painfully generic medieval RPG with a very generic "farm boy becomes a hero" storyline. Or farmgirl, if you go that route. There's some moral choices, but overall the story is very linear from start to finish, and no matter how evil you try to play it, the game inevitably ends with the chosen farmboy (or girl) saving the world. Age of Tales has a very generic cast of characters with very generic backstories, even more generic villains with very basic evil plots, and side quests right out of early free to play mmorpgs. Overall the game is just very… mid.
Upon release the game was a massive flop.
And Katie has happily sunk nearly six hundred hours into it.

Summary
“So what have you been up to this weekend?”
“Family picnic,” Peter says.
“Oh, great, great fun,” Tony says and swipes away from the article about Spider-Man wrestling a giant spider on the roof of the Chrysler building.
It’s quite obvious that Tony knows he is Spider-Man, but decided not to acknowledge it; decided to keep the secret going. For what reason, Peter doesn’t know. Maybe Tony thinks he can use the information in his favor, or maybe he just doesn’t want Peter to freak out. Either way, it serves Peter just fine, because Tony tries so hard to keep up his oblivious act that he never prods too hard or looks too deep.
Which means all of Peter’s far bigger secrets are still safe.- Language:

Summary
Peter Parker comes back into Michelle’s life like this:
She receives a phone call at two in the morning from his number. She has received early morning drunk calls from ex-boyfriends before, and her first instinct is to ignore the call and go back to sleep. But a faint whisper of unease in the back of her mind stops her, because this is Peter and there is a good chance—a very, very good chance—that he’s calling because he’s bleeding to death in an alley somewhere.
She answers the call. “Peter?”
It is not Peter. It’s a girl who replies, screaming into Michelle’s ear, hysterical.

My father stands at the doorway, his hands are laced together and they contract with each breath, pulsing like a heart. "Taylor," he says, forgetting my name, "There's someone here to see you."

Summary
When you can't run, you crawl. When you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you. Or, when Wash's cousin contacts Serenity saying that the youngest, richest man in the universe wants to hire them for a job, an empty purse leaves Malcolm Reynolds hard-pressed to take the offer. The problem? Mark Zuckerberg needs their help to break a friend out of the Academy. And as it turns out, that's just the easy part.
