Summary
Maybe it was fate that gifted Adachi this ability. An ability that would – in its own roundabout way – cause romance to blossom between him and his (very male) colleague. But what if life had been less kind to Adachi and he had turned out slightly more... broken.
A complete rewrite of the series from Adachi's POV with main focus on his relationships with other characters. The greatest deviations from canon include Adachi's familial backstory, his history of abuse and Tsuge's lack of virginity and thus mind-reading abilities.Excerpt from the text:
“Oh, you've got to be kidding me. He dragged a hand over his face in a frustrated fashion. He didn't want to have to deal with this first thing in the morning. He quickly finished up brushing his teeth and retrieved the first aid kit from where he had stored it the evening before. Adachi took off his shirt clumsily, trying to be as gentle as possible as not to aggravate the wound on his back any more than he already had."*Work is still continuing, but it's going to take a few weeks for the next update

Summary
"Apply now for a position at Ebott Aquarium, now accepting monster applications!"
Papyrus only wanted to help get more income to support their new life on the surface.
Somehow, faster that Sans could say "Boondoggling!" he got roped into the caretaking of a dangerous siren; even off the clock, he spends the rest of his time trying to keep their siren alive and kicking.
Stars know that it seems more like the aquarium is trying to kill her than help her.
He wants a pay raise, a bottle of booze, and an explanation on why it hurts his SOUL so badly to see her locked behind a viewing glass, slowly wasting away and constantly drugged to high hell.
He wonders how deep he'll be able to go before there's no going back.Series

"When we're done with this... once we've gotten what we need from the Wizard..." his hand tightened around Scarecrow's. "I'd love to see you again."
"Okay." Scarecrow whispered, a scratchy, low oath. "I'll come find you.”
...

Summary
A blackbird chirruping a melody in the branches of the apple tree above him stirred Lancelot, and his fingers reached to feel for the hilt of his sword in a force of habit that he found brought him comfort. His eyes promptly snatched open, for they found nothing.
As he grew accustomed to the stark brightness of mid-day, his muscles tensed and the hair on the back of his neck began to bristle.
For a man stood before him, brandishing Lancelot's own sword.

Summary
Conner never asked for destiny. A simple Republic soldier, he enlisted to serve and perhaps meet someone special along the way. But when his routine assignment on a Hammerhead-class Cruiser spirals into a galaxy-shaking conflict, his life is upended.
Haunted by vivid dreams of a man he doesn't recognize—his thoughts, his emotions, his memories—Conner is thrust into a past that isn't his own. Conner's identity begins to fracture as he experiences Revan's memories as if they were his own.
Amidst this turmoil, he encounters a Jedi Knight with storm-grey eyes—the literal girl of his dreams. Yet, she recoils from him, her gaze filled with fear and loathing. Her presence only deepens the mystery of his visions and the growing unease within him.
As the war escalates, Conner finds himself drawn deeper into the Jedi's world, a realm he has long despised. His duty becomes more demanding, his visions more intense, and his connection to the Jedi Knight undeniable. Caught between the echoes of a past he can't remember and a future he can't control, Conner must navigate the treacherous path laid before him.
