    Summary

    In a world where Formula 1 belongs to the old guard—the factories, the fortunes, the families who've been racing for generations—Aldecaldo Racing shouldn't exist. A privateer team clawed out of the Arizona desert by a woman who refused to let her uncle's dream die, they have nothing: no budget, no sponsors, no reputation. What they have is a broken car, three mechanics who work for free, and a belief that speed doesn't belong to the people with the most money.

    Then V gets behind the wheel.

    Summary

    Maya Knox now knew what she was destined for: the, slow, inevitable destruction of her own self.

    Fate had laid itself bare before her. Now, all she could do was survive it — for as long as she could, for as long as she could fool it into letting her carve a way out for herself.

    While carrying the weight of someone else's past, Maya has to hold together her own present and future. Yet every choice she makes only tightens the web surrounding her, leaving her painfully, almost embarrassingly, vulnerable.

    Summary

    This story explores the toxic reality of Johnny Silverhand's influence and the physical toll on V that the game glosses over. While V is building something with Rogue.

    I'll portray healthy, grounded, mature romance with mutual respect between a 40-year-old female V and Rogue Amendiares. No childish chaos or toxic drama. It is a slow burn; physical intimacy will happen when earned,it's NOT in part 1 of this series, but important stuff still happens relationship wise.

    Note: V is sober and as natural as possible in all ways. She still cooks (lots of Ukrainian food)

    Not Judy friendly. She's mentioned but not present; V views her as an emotional novice unsuited for the cruelty of Night City.

    Anti-Johnny Silverhand

    V(Faceclaim Natasha O'Keeffe,Intergalactic style, Silver and Black hair)

    Rogue:Bisexual (Faceclaim Keri Russell)
    Panam: Adria Arjona

    Note: This is part 1 of a series, part 2, Spring in the sand is in development and will follow their journey to Arizona and a conflict there.

     Content warning: Explores the psychological abuse and toxic influence of Johnny Silverhand.

    Summary

    Greg Heffley spent years trying to be noticed. He got good at it too late to realize it was never the point.

    By eighth grade he's stopped performing for anyone, mostly by accident, mostly because the only people he's trying to be around anymore are Rowley Jefferson, his oldest friend, and Angie Steadman, the girl who saw through him in fourth grade and never let him forget it. Somewhere in the space between schemes that don't quite happen anymore and a friendship he doesn't examine too closely, Greg becomes someone he isn't trying to be. He doesn't notice. Neither does Angie.

    Holly Hills notices.

    Holly has never had to want something she wasn't sure she could get. She's popular without trying, dating someone appropriate, surrounded by people who perform for her the way Greg used to. None of that prepares her for watching a boy she'd written off years ago build a whole quiet, unglamorous life that doesn't include her, with a girl who has no idea she's being watched. What starts as irritation she can't name becomes something Holly has no model for, jealousy with no one to confess it to, wanting with no language for what she's actually after.

    Summary

    How does a monster *not* become a monster?

    Forget inspiring hope as a hero. After years forgotten underground, Arata Shirayuki first has to survive in the light.

    Aizawa pushes her to master the terrifying Praying Mantis quirk she’s spent her life repressing. Class 1-A is both the impossible standard she must meet and the found family she desperately craves. Meanwhile, Bakugou detonates every wall she hides behind by force…

    Until the League of Villains descends upon the forest camp, and with them, comes the mother who once loved her, left her to rot, and now wants her back.

    But Arata is no longer an island of one. Shoto Todoroki has seen both the girl crippled by the cold and the mantis drenched in blood, and he stays regardless.

    He’s the one person Arata fights her way back to through it all—even through the worst of herself. And Shoto gladly walks back into the fire every time so that he never loses her again, carving her a place by his side that lasts.

    Half doesn’t cut it anymore. They need both—for another day together.

    Summary

    Lights shining in the distant night / how many stars falling must there be?

    Waking up in an unfamiliar body, our hero Rio is quickly introduced into a world entirely unfamiliar to him - a world of Pokemon and only Pokemon. Despite some oddities with himself, he's still able to start off with something oddly close to home: a singing troupe of other Pokemon with a single leader traveling between towns and villages to spread hope and music, all of which happen to be... human songs!? Join Rio with his team of Artemis the Brionne, Zinnea the Mudsdale, and Lucky the Growlithe as they adventure through the world of Seliocko, unraveling the mysteries that brought and are keeping Rio here, and perhaps figure out why his biggest enemy seems to be shaped like himself.

    A light-hearted episodic jukebox musical-esque fic. Generally never stays super heavy. Updates when possible.
    (I'm a bit new to Pokemon as a whole, so some things might be weird - forgive me!)

    Summary

    Shin Kazehaya is Japan's most successful professional breakup artist. Clients hire him when they can't end a relationship themselves, and he prides himself on delivering clean, emotionless conclusions.

    His newest assignment should be simple: convince Aki Minase to accept a breakup.

    There's just one problem.

    Aki insists he was never in a relationship to begin with.

    As Shin investigates a romance that may never have existed, the line between professional duty and personal involvement begins to blur. What starts as an impossible case soon becomes a comedy of misunderstandings, reluctant partnership, and the unsettling realization that the man he's supposed to separate from someone else might be the one he's slowly falling for.

    After all, ending love is easy.

    Beginning it is another story.

    Summary

    We are made of stardust — or so you’ve heard. You were not there to witness the birth of the universe and the first launch of elements that survived long enough to be recycled as iron in your blood or magnesium in your bones. But older than anything — is the desire to live, the desperation to keep breathing, the ache that caused humanity to survive this long, was something that humanity has been able to witness. No ceremony, no beautiful explosion, it emerged when ones finally realized the weight of death and the unknown beyond it.

    You have always been different, you have a ‘gift’ that allows you to see something invisible to naked eyes. Your life as an engineering student has always been normal in your own version. Petting cats, watching rocks, going on coffee dates with your friends, ignoring a bloody man beside you that no other people see.

    So when you're united with Zenin Naoya and a violent curse in a locked inventory room, something inside you understands before you did. Like it was written that your path will always cross. To seek — to uncover what's actually behind that ‘gift’ of yours and what's the link with Zenin Naoya.

    A discovery of something older than consciousness itself.

    But, fortunately, fate is not absolute.

    All it takes to avert this boy's fate... is for a scaly, serpentine butterfly to flap his wings.

    Summary

    |A MANDALORIAN FANFIC · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES|

    When a hidden enemy rises from the ashes of the galaxy, Mando and Grogu embark on an adventure with Luke Skywalker and Rotta the Hutt to defeat the threat, as well as restore their unstable emotions after the Dragonsnake.

    ***

    After almost dying to the Dragonsnake a few months ago, Mando has noticed a shift in Grogu's behavior; he's overprotective and slacking off from training, clinging to him almost every second. Fearing that he's failing as a parent, Mando seeks out Jedi Master Luke Skywalker for help, since Grogu trained with him for a little while, and brings Rotta the Hutt with him, to Luke's hesitation.

    While with Luke, a mysterious bounty request reaches Mando, sending the team on a new adventure across the galaxy to discover a hidden world of the ex-Galactic Empire, where technology is used for unethical purposes in an attempt to regain power.

    Mando and his team must now find the mastermind behind this new organization before darkness spreads across the galaxy, and Mando and Grogu lose contact with The Way forever.

    Though these godlings have largely been wiped of the world in the fear of the destruction they caused, Quirin, the young hair to the hailing draconkin Nyxus, struggles to meet that which has been set for them. Their conflict between accepting the nature in which they exist to appealing this god-like being and freeing themselves of her hefty expectations turns them to uncover what has come of the gods that have unnaturally fled their world.
