Summary
From August 14 to August 17, the entirety of Manhattan was asleep. Then everyone woke up; Kronos fell; and the news passed it off as a chemical fumes accident that knocked everyone out.
Yeah... Reddit isn't buying it. Cue the beginning of the Manhattan Big Sleep megathread.
Note: A lot of the characters mentioned in the tags won't actually show up, but will be mentioned often.
Also, TW for mention of death, corpses, etc. Canonically the Battle of Manhattan resulted in a lot of mortal deaths, so... yeah.

Summary
“But I did warn you. Don’t say I didn’t. You got your hopes up—”
“—The odds were good,” Phillip interrupts. “We weighed our choices and—you know what, no, we’re not talking about this again. Especially not here.”
“Did you?” Diane cuts in. “Weigh your options?” She nods towards where Evan is examining the green stains on his hands and Valerie snorts a laugh when he stamps his small handprint onto the tablecloth. “He was a saviour sibling. Now what is he? What will you tell him?”
“We tell him nothing,” Margaret sighs to rid her chest of the burden of hospital air. She wraps her arms around herself to sculpt an embrace her mother has yet to give her. “We lost Daniel. We lost our baby boy.” Her voice breaks at the last word, and she lowers her head.
“You still have your family,” says her father Arthur, a quiet, hopeful man.
But his daughter shakes her head. “Not without him. Not anymore.”
OR: A telling of the untold, of the moments between postcards, of the ghost at Buck's shoulder, of the day he said the q-word, of the day he said 'I do'. A rewrite of the show up until season 5 where, eventually, Buck finds a place to call home.

Summary
New Chapter Every Friday
He’s the Sorcerer Killer. She works at a convenience store. Neither of them are what they seem.
Toji Fushiguro doesn’t want a future. She’s just a woman behind a cash register—until she isn’t. Sharp-eyed. Too calm. And never afraid of him.
They tell themselves it’s just sex. Just convenience. But the truth has a way of creeping in—between meals, between touches, between lives coming undone. What starts as denial turns into something harder to name.
A love story doomed from the start. It was never supposed to mean anything. And maybe that’s exactly why it did.
A Jujutsu Kaisen backstory. FWB to something else. Slow, stubborn, and honest.
Features Allura from Blue Moon

Summary
It's 1987, and Rumi Hidaka is trying to survive as an idol.
But how can she do that when she's faced with a career that's possibly on the decline, alongside more personal issues and a one-sided rivalry with a fellow idol that happens to share the same first name as her? And on top of all that, how can she also make it in this industry if everyone around her mostly sees her as a two-hit wonder?
A.K.A the Rumi backstory fic I've been wanting to write since before I actually saw the movie.

Summary
It was over, Huntrix had won. Gwi-ma was gone for good, the honmoon strengthened beyond anything they had thought was possible. They had managed to banish the demon threat for possibly the next few decades, maybe for even longer. So why do the girls feel so empty? why do they feel like they failed to save everyone? Why do they feel like (despite their many differences) they hadn’t been able to save the five people who had truly been counting on them?
And what happens when as they’re picking through the rubble of the wrecked stadium they come across five disembodied souls of five former demons desperately clinging to a second chance at life? What chaos and misadventures lay before them as the girls try to integrate the Saja Boys back into the human world, not as enemies or rivals, but as friends and possibly more.

Summary
When two souls are destined to be together, they are connected by an invisible thread. No matter the time, place, or situation, this thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break - The Red Thread of Fate
Nora Feyre, a 47-year old math teacher from Cleveland, didn't understand how she had ended up in this crazy place, fighting for her life alongside a fantasy realm's most endearing and fucked-up rejects. But it didn't matter. She'd do what she always had, no matter what life had thrown at her, and rise above it. After all, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
Astarion Ancunin, a 239-year-old vampire spawn from Baldur's Gate, couldn't believe his good fortune. Sure, there was a worm in his brain that might turn him into yet a new kind of monster. But it hadn't. Not yet. And in the meantime, he was free in a way he'd scarcely dreamed was possible, snatched from his Master just as he had lost the last bit of fight that was left in him.
Two survivors, kindred spirits, thrown together by accident -
Or was it?
Note: This is a rewrite of my first fanfic - Threadbare - which has now been renamed Threadbare, Draft 1.

Summary
Seven days. Seven documents. One man learning what it means to be seen, chosen, and loved.
Tarquin has spent most of his life following orders—first as a soldier bleeding for an empire that saw him as expendable, then as a Chantry adherent trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for him. But after walking away from both, he finds himself writing: journaling, crisis-of-faith explorations, scar inventories that become self-acceptance manifestos. Through fragments of writing spanning his time with the Shadow Dragons, we see a bitter ex-soldier slowly learning to trust again. Learning what chosen family actually means. Learning that love—real love—isn't conditional on conforming to other people's definitions of worthy.
And learning that sometimes the most radical act of faith isn't believing in institutions, but in the person who sees the divine in you when you can't see it yourself.
A week-long journey through letters, journal entries, and personal notes chronicling one man's evolution from surviving to actually living—and finding someone worth building a future with along the way.
