Summary
John stared at the eyeless muse, waiting for her to crack a joke or at least a smile. Something to let the poor kid know that this wasn't what was actually waiting for him--for all of them--so close to the end of the game. No such solace came, and a dull memory began to flicker in the back of the teenager's head, one that burned hot for just a moment before fading quietly into a migraine waiting to happen. A memory of himself and his ectobiological sister. And a movie he hadn't realized was as AWFUL as it was.
"So, is being a shitty writer a requirement for cherubs, or is it a family trait?"
The Heir of Breath is recruited by Alternate Calliope to help ensure Homestuck^2 never happens. The clearest way to make it work is to force the game to run a patch before its completion, but it will require a lot of work on John's end, and the results are something no one but Alt Calliope and her increasingly fed up editor could have expected. John has never felt closer to the Makaras, and as time goes on, the feelings start to be reciprocated.

Summary
It's been nearly a few months since they both appeared in this new world. They have no idea on what happened but both former sprites are now on a very different Earth with very different but mostly familiar bodies, for two things Hal now has a body of his own somewhat and Davesprite is still part bird.
This new world is very different and strange to both, its set in the future and one important detail that shocked both was that in this world: Dave Strider, little brother to famous twins David 'D' Strider and Dereck 'Bro' Strider and a twin himself to Dirk Strider, died at the age of 12, 4 years ago. Now how does this fare for Davesprite now dubbed 'Qrow Davis' who looks almost exactly like the deceased Strider with him being the alternate version of said deceased Strider?
It was bad enough with monsters and enemies from the game popping up every once and a while, not to mention their unwilling and accidental involvement with the dark underworld. They've done their best avoiding anything that might cause them problems but one single mistake from Qrow has the ex-players and involvements from the game chasing after him. Especially the family of Striders who are convinced that he is their Dave.

Summary
Sanji’s father always told him to stay away from the edge of the forest that grew a mile away from the castle.
That’s where the Fae hunted for unsuspecting prey, he’d said in the beginning, when Sanji still had potential. They feasted on human flesh, and swapped children out for doppelgangers with too-large eyes and too many teeth. It was not a fate befitting of a Vinsmoke, the king said. By the time Sanji was nine, his father made it clear that being switched out with a Fae child would be an improvement.
Sanji is ten years old when he meets the changeling boy, and only two more than that when he had his own funeral. A war erupts in the name of a scapegoat. When the Fae king of the Sun Court makes a demand for royal blood as payment for peace, Sanji isn't at all surprised to be the chosen sacrifice.

Summary
Number one rule for working the night shifts at the sketchy gas station in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere was to not look at them, and they would leave you alone. They weren’t even supposed to see you if you didn’t look at them - just flicker the lights, rattle some shelves, and inflict the fear of death into your bone marrow.
Then, one night, one of them with stupid eyebrows and a serious attitude problem chose to come in only to start yelling at Zoro, who had done literally nothing to deserve it.
**
OR: Zoro works at a gas station that gets creepy visitors at night. One of them is more annoying than the others.- Language:

Summary
After dying in the line of duty, Tim Drake wakes up in the past—thirteen years old, alive, and back in his childhood bedroom. Armed with the knowledge of everything to come, Tim chooses not to reveal himself to Bruce or the Batfamily. Instead, he disappears into the shadows of Gotham, becoming the nameless vigilante known only as Red. He works behind the scenes, subtly reshaping key events to give everyone a better future: saving Jason from death, bringing Cass home earlier, and protecting the Batfamily from the worst of what’s to come.
But time has a way of preserving tragedy.
When Duke Thomas loses his parents in a violent home invasion—different from the original timeline but just as devastating—Tim makes a drastic decision. At eighteen, he adopts Duke, becoming the guardian he wishes someone had been for him. Now legally responsible for a grieving teenager who barely speaks to him, and under public scrutiny for the shocking adoption, Tim must navigate media storms, Bats' suspicions, and the burden of rewriting the future—all without revealing who he really is.
He’s walked through Gotham’s shadows as a ghost long enough. But how long can a ghost keep his secrets before someone starts chasing them down?
