Summary
Seventy-two hours became a lifetime, where each cycle of the nightmare came with a flawless transition, beginning to end, beginning to end. He’d mistakenly thought that his own mangekyou would spare him the hellscape brought to life around him; in the moments between cruel words and sharpened blades, he told himself that he should have run away, whether he would have been branded a coward or not. There was no one left to see him as the second son of the clan head, not when the clan was no more. And then the torture continued and his screams continued, where he shook like a leaf while his own mind scolded him for being weak, words fed to him from the mouths of his dead family and from the brother he loved more than anything. He was weak, always too weak, a prodigy but not enough of one, a smaller, generic version of his older brother. Nothing he said or did was ever good enough for their father, and he finally understood that the man had known the truth all along. He would never be good enough. He had been pathetic since birth.

Summary
Hermione always dreamed of working at the Ministry of Magic and making a difference in the magical world. But several years after the war’s end, her dream career has become a meaningless slog, and her personal life isn’t much better.
Severus survived the war and was acquitted of a permanent stay in Azkaban, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t in prison. Reviled by magical Britain, Severus lives alone, friendless and jobless except for one small, shady contract.
Desperate for something different, Hermione heads impulsively to Knockturn Alley, where a newspaper and a chance encounter with a stranger open her eyes to sex work. It isn’t long until she’s heading to Knockturn’s brothel, The Scarlet Witch, with ideas of undertaking a drastic change. Along the way she runs into Severus, who’s taken to reading in pubs to try and make his life feel less pathetic—when he can get out of bed. Angry at the world that’s rejected them, they form a close friendship. But when the magical world begins weighing in on Hermione’s new career and their friendship leads to feelings, they start to wonder: are people like them allowed happiness and love, or is the best they can hope for a half-life lived alone in the shadows of the world?

Summary
The only thing easy to catch in No Man’s Land is a bullet and everything else is a commodity.
After ODIN was utilized by the Federation and an attack was launched on the United States, everyone in No Man's Land must adapt to survive. You mold yourself to this life, harvesting sea salt in No Man’s Land to trade at makeshift local markets. It’s not a bad life, but it is a lonely one. When anti-federation military personnel crop up in the outposts, you know in your gut something is happening. Especially when you can’t keep your thoughts or your gaze off one in particular.

Summary
“Can’t there be beauty and order without chaos, Yulian?”
I hold her gaze, peering into her dark brown eyes. “Would you appreciate it? Would you see it?”
“I would.”
“Then you’re in the minority. No one ever does, Isla.”
“Do you?” she counters. “What do you appreciate more? The chaos or the beauty that unfurls from it?”
“Both.”
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*Yulian Astor knows only one thing: loyalty to his homeland, Palatine. When war breaks out between Palatine and Aventine, Yulian is sent to Aventine to spy and hopefully, take down the country and exact his revenge on those that killed his father.
Isla de Rohan is Aventine's most envied singer. Isla fortifies the loyalties of millions of Aventinians, something the Aventinian government is all too happy about. Thousands line up to hear her voice, but few realize just how much it cost her to be able to sing.
When Yulian and Isla cross paths, it will test their loyalties to their nations, and their love.
Will they choose themselves, or the legacy of crumbling nations? -

Summary
Footsteps sounded behind him. Ryūnosuke approached, stopping so close that Atsushi caught the faint, refined scent of his cologne — a blend of cool morning woods and juniper berries.
— And what was the point of that? — Akutagawa asked coldly, his voice restrained but edged with irritation. — You persist, Jinko, as if you truly believe you can change anything. Why?
Atsushi froze for a moment, but answered calmly, though there was a shade of weariness in his tone:
— Because I believe there’s something good in everyone. Even if they don’t notice it themselves.
— Your naivety is repulsive, — Akutagawa cut him off. — You still haven’t realized that your faith means nothing. Especially to me.

Why bother writing characters with potential just to kill them off?
How would Benny, Barb, Bob, Billy, Chrissy and others living affect events?
How would that change life in Hawkins? (Hint: A lot of ways, as in canon? What's that?)
Would anything be the same? Not a chance.
How big a factor would it be in battling the Upside Down?

Most of The Usual Gang are still the stars, but the others? Let's just say life and people are very different.
We also meet some new people and situations along the way, and sometimes unexpected things arise.Series

Summary
I manage my days. It's easy, one of the few things that gives me the feeling of being able to control at least one thing in my life. I go through my day, manage my tasks, I function. I feel in control until I talk to people, I feel in control until the anxiety sets in, I feel in control until the dizziness hits me.
or; I feel like shit, but in the numb/detached way, so I wrote 1,025 words of self hatred

Except, there's no kind neighbor or TV to warn you when the calamity comes. To you, the sun acting out is just a heatwave, and monsters wearing human faces only live in horror movies.
That's why when the knocking comes, you open the door.

The second thing Dean notices is that somebody stole the pumpkin.
His eyes narrow as he keeps staring at the spot where his art, his pièce de résistance should be.

He pulls the bottle close, taking a swing from it directly as he watches and watches and watches."
-> Post episode S15E19 heavy angst and comfort! (Day 7 & 8 have been changed by mistake.)--
