Summary
The Signless is leading a revolution in the strangest way - spreading kindness, pacifist philosophy, solid resources, and problem solving through the towns his clade visits. They’ve tackled everything from rehoming slaves to rescuing imprisoned trolls to clearing out daywalker infestations. Fuck knows how many trolls owe them their lives.
The Psiioniic knows how their story is destined to end. He’s seen the way the military will react to Sign’s visions of peace, even if Sign hasn’t. And, with the help of Death herself, he’s exploiting universe loopholes to avoid destiny. The only problem is that he’s willing to do anything to protect his family, including betraying them to hell and back.

Ch 12: Imperfect victim Psii backstory!!
Ch 28: “The Empress hates it when I show up, she says. In her more spiritual moments, she thinks she’s being haunted by a reincarnation of the same damn rustblood. In her practical ones, she thinks it’s unfortunate that one irritating rust managed to get so goddamn much slime into the Mother Grub.”And amazing characterization of the 4 and Mai.
But also what the fuck is going on with the timeline stuff. -

The dream faded like a movie does, slow, into black. Continuity implied, heavy with symbolism. He lay suspended in the soothing darkness for a few moments, until his consciousness, too, faded.
He had the feeling he was unconscious for a while.

Summary
For Proud Immortal Demon Way, that's not actually that unusual of a curse! Shen Qingqiu can think of at least twelve wives who had to be beaten in a fight before they could be married, for various reasons.
It's a little different when he finds himself in the middle of it, but it's only breaking a curse — right?

Honestly, I just want to make it past thirty this go-around. Contending with Uchiha Clan Nonsense, an Orochimaru still convinced he needs my baby cousin's eyes, and the knowledge of precisely how bad all this can go, that's looking more and more out of reach by the day.

Harry Potter and the Power of Proper Communication by herebewyverns
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
11 Nov 2022

Summary
After the Christmas argument about Harry's Firebolt, Hermione decides that she's not putting up with the boys' sulking anymore, and she's going to do something about it. What happens next is a testament to the strong bonds forged through people actually talking to each other, the desperation involved in keeping your best friend alive and in one piece, and the desire to build a better, safer world for him to live in, no matter what the objections from the adults.
In other words, the risk in manipulating things to create child-soldiers is that they will decide that you, too, are also something to protect themselves against.
Revised, Edited, and Rewritten: After a lot of feedback about how the writing got better as this fic went on, I've been taking a break, not just to have the burn-out breakdown from IRL work, but also to rewrite some of the earlier chapters (mostly 1-5) hoping to improve on what was already there, and add things I wish I'd thought of the first time.
Updated So Far: Chapters 1, 2, and 3 - an additional chapter inserted after Chapter 3 - and 4 (which is now Chapter 5, I guess)Series

Love Pays No Indemnity by Jana
Fandoms: The Hobbit - All Media Types, The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)
15 Oct 2021

Summary
After the Battle of the Five Armies and return to home, Bilbo feels strangely restless. Well, the way his family tries to marry him off might be contributing to this. The One Ring decides it needs to understand its bearer better in order to properly manipulate him - the hobbit is proving unexpectedly good at resisting its influence.
The road to East is long and this was never supposed to happen, but violence was never Bilbo's preference when it came to solving problems - whether he was aware that a problem existed or not. The Wise and the Mighty might say that everything has already been tried against Sauron, but Good Hobbit Sense and actually communicating somehow hadn't made that list.

Summary
"Proofing, also sometimes called final fermentation, is the specific term for allowing dough to rise after it has been shaped and before it is baked."
Less than a year has passed since the final battle, and the Ministry is already up to its old tricks. Harry would very much like them to stop ignoring due process, tossing people in Azkaban, controlling the press, and menacing the populace with dementors.
He would also like, if at all possible, to bake a passable loaf of bread.
