Summary
If you're wondering how I came to be Shirou Emiya, it was because of a CYOA I took, by PixelGMS. It let me choose whatever I wanted and make myself as powerful as I wanted, unfortunately, the choices I made wound up with me transported to F/SN UBW. What was even worse was that I was transported without any of the choices I made, so I ended up as normal ass Shirou Emiya when he was 15 years old. If you're wondering how I survived, then click on this story and watch how I become a proper heroic spirit unlike my counterpart.

Pariah's Rime of the Frostmaiden by CyrusJ

Summary
For two years, Icewind Dale has been trapped in an endless arctic night by Auril the Frostmaiden, the goddess of winter's fury. Surrounded by dark and cold, trapped in a land of yetis and crag cats and ice druid cultists, the people of Ten-Towns are starting to lose hope. Pariah, a tiefling from Baldur's Gate, finds herself drawn north by fate and prophecy, once again a tool of the gods.
"Fucking immortals," she sighs to herself.
This fic is a sequel to "Pariah's Descent Into Avernus". The story is based on the Wizards of the Coast adventure, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. I've incorporated some of the suggestions from the third-party supplement, Rime of the Frostmaiden Companion by Wyatt Trull, plus other sources. I've made a few of my own changes to fit the characters and the story I want to tell.
Even if you aren't familiar with D&D, this fic should be approachable as a general fantasy story.
New chapters posted every Friday morning.

Summary
‘I need you to kiss me. Now. Touch me. And make it look real.’ Jisung sounds calm, straightforward.
‘What?’ It is more air than voice.
‘Look where we are Minho. You’re a customer, I’m a…-We don’t have time! This is the only thing I could think of that will work.’ He can tell Jisung is trying to be patient with him; but there truly is no time for him to either hesitate, or come up with a viable alternative.
‘Oh.’ The fae says. Oh.
Jisung snakes his hands up Minho’s shoulders, tugging him closer. Slotting Minho’s thighs firmly between his. The fae can hear the racing footsteps now. So close. ‘Minho! Is that okay? Are you with me?’
‘Yes’, is all he can say. All he can think. All he can feel.
Moving without conscious thought, Minho twines one hand up into Jisung’s hair. Tilting his head, while pressing the younger male’s pliant body back into the wall with his full weight. A matching spark of hunger kindles in the shifter’s eyes.
And without a moment to spare, Minho crashes his lips into Jisung’s.Or, there are no universes where Minsung do not love each other. So here's another one where they struggle against their traumas, and a divided world, in order to be together.
