Summary
You don't know what it is—a detailed hallucination, a trick of the mind, or one last gift from the Eye of the universe in recognition of your years of steadfast dedication to finding the answer. Infinite life condensed into a moment: twenty-two minutes to save the universe. In the end, you led yourself and everyone you loved to their final resting place. A universe contained within the space of an atom, an explosion as bright as a supernova.
And then you woke up.

Summary
There was no greater sin than affinity for someone who's just like you. It's been taught to be repulsive, a plague that swallows you. It was meant to be washed away the same way you would dirt from your hands. Shameful and disgusting, that's what you were. The world was meant for a man and a woman to roam together, always has been, always will be. Since the birth of time, since Adam and Eve—the way God intended. It wasn't meant to change for two men or two women. That wasn't part of God’s plan.
OR
Being raised in the 1930's means Nico couldn't accept a part of him and Will is right there to help see himself in a better light. They're in love, and I hate them.

Summary
Humans needed to sleep when they were sick.
That was a basic fact. Illness and lack of sleep didn't mix well. It was proven science, and Tony was a man who knew science. He lived and breathed science. Science had never failed him before. It saved his life more than once. He followed proven science, tested the theoretical, and made the supposed impossible into possible. No, Tony rarely disagreed with science, and the times he did, he was right.
And it wasn't that he necessarily disagreed that sleep helped illness, it was that he couldn't do it.

Summary
This time, the shivering didn’t stop. Husk gritted his teeth, trying to will himself to stop, trying to force himself to be still. Now that the adrenaline had finally worn off and he’d had a chance to get just enough sleep to muddle his brain, he wasn’t sure if he could get through another encounter like that again. He tried not to flinch when Alastor’s arm moved away from Vox’s back and slid beneath Husk’s shoulder, pulling him in closer.
“What are you doing?”
“This isn’t intimate,” Alastor scoffed quietly. “You’re shivering and you’re upset.”
“So, get me another blanket.” Husk frowned but didn’t try to slip Alastor’s embrace. “Then you wouldn’t have to touch me.”
“As if I want to touch you.”

It's funny isn't it? Even if you can't control the actions of others... Maybe those actions have the power to change others.
Maybe we all have the ability to make an impact. It can't hurt to try can it?

Summary
random quote I found for the title, don't know where it originated from
Harry and Draco aren't friends, but they also aren't enemies,
Harry wants to know why he has never found any true interest in girls, Draco offers to help.
Draco had been in love with Harry, and their frenemies with benefits causes more harm than good for him, but he isn't gonna stop.(Just want it to be known, FUCK Jk Rowling)
I'm brushing up on the movies and books while working on this bc its a bit fuzzy, also don't expect any good British slang I measure things in hamburgers and freedom units. -

Summary
Bernadette Kartwright and her loyal companion, Luther, are members of Whitestone Rifle Corps, and Bernadette takes her role very seriously. She's on a nightly patrol when she discovers something that would change her life forever. Now, she's on the run to protect what matters most, Whitestone, and the de Rolos. She sticks out like a sore thumb in Wildemount. She has no home, no money. Only a rifle slung over her shoulder and Luther beside her. That catches the eye of a certain suave Tiefling who plays a flamboyant showman for a traveling circus. Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities could use someone like Bernadette Kartwright, or better yet, someone like Trick Shot.

Summary
Inspired by Devil's Price by whisper2025. Thugs capture Daredevil and try to sell the unmasking to Frank Castle. But instead of waiting patiently for the Punisher to arrive they take advantage of the chained Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
First chapter can be a noncon + rescue oneshot if that's the only part you want to read. Second/third chapters for aftermath/recovery.
Consensual Fratt starts in forth chapter. Additional chapters are entirely Fratt sex-as-a-coping-mechanism smut. Time skips in between with smut-focus. I won’t be exploring a relationship aspect.
I won’t mark it as complete since each additional chapter will have oneshot vibes and I’ll just add more as I think of something I want them to explore.

Summary
“Whatever that little menace said, she's a liar.” Wriothesley rubbed at his mouth to soothe the stinging skin.
Neuvillette simply raised a brow at him as he unlocked the other hand cuff. “Sigewinne is hardly a menace, Wriothesley. What claim do you believe you are refuting?”
“She's overreacting, I'm fine. I just breathed in a little bit of some kind of powder. So did a lot of people. I feel fine.” Wriothesley scoffed. “I just wanted to come up here for our budget report and Sigewinne decides that I need a babysitter.”
--
Beyond this though, is getting together and healing. The mind has an odd way of starting to process things we would rather forget when we finally feel safe.
In other words it's the story of Wriothesley finally feeling safe and all the emotions that come with that.
