Heartbeats and the Colour Purple by theparadoxicalfox for strifetxt

Summary

There is a very particular shade of purple that exists which, whenever Grian claps his eyes on it, he swears his heart stops.
Not in a poetic way, or figurative. Oh, no. It's not like, “ah, what a stunning variation of lavender-plum-violet-amethyst-mauve, it's so beautiful it's giving me heart palpitations!”
Nope. Very very, incredibly literally: his heart, actually, stops.

Summary

Techno and Phil find themselves unexpectedly saddled with the responsibility of caring for one (1) Michael Underscore-Beloved.

Of Murder, Magic, and Glamour by theparadoxicalfox, TrulyMightyPotato

Summary

London is full of life, both human and Mythical, and it generally works pretty well. London is full of progress and the efforts to meld worlds to create a better one for everyone, even if that effort is quite difficult.
Tubbo wouldn't know. He's an orphan, and orphans are not given particularly high social standing. His visions don't make things easier for him--nobody likes hearing that someone else is going to die. He's figured out his own fate, too, so he gets it.
Skeppy is on the hunt for a way to save his best friend, before the temporary solution Bad lives with runs out once and for all.
Phil is after immortality, because Kristin is immortal and he'd like to stick around.
And there is someone powerful murdering in the streets of London, with a goal in mind nobody else can figure out.
Unfortunately for everyone, everything is connected, and the fate of the world hangs on it.

When the End Calls by theparadoxicalfox, TrulyMightyPotato

Summary

Tubbo knows some things for certain: he was found in a box; everyone else thinks his parents abandoned him; he's got magic, which is a problem when the God of the Overworld has banned it and one of His Champions lives in L'Manburg; one of the founders of L'Manburg takes great issue with the magic ban; Tubbo's got friends and allies all around him, including Tommy; things are more complicated than they seem; the End has been sealed.
These are all facts. But questions remain: why, exactly, would magic be banned and the End sealed? Why was Tubbo left in a box? And what, exactly, happened to the last Champion of the End?
