    Summary

    vanishing point (n.): the point in a perspective drawing where parallel lines appear to converge.

    Spring has sprung, and with it has come the day of Kanade and Mafuyu's high school graduation.

    For Mafuyu, graduation is an opportunity: a chance to confront her mother one last time, and claim her future for herself, once and for all. On the other hand, Kanade now finds herself stuck more than ever—because for her, graduation and everything that comes after it represents nothing but an inescapable source of anxiety and dread, too terrifying to even consider.

    But time keeps moving, whether Kanade likes it or not—and as graduation day approaches, she finds herself silently being crushed by the weight of the future, unable to escape...

    Summary

    It’s almost funny how insignificant Gabe had become. His once worse nightmare, the sound of a belt swinging and the burst of iron in his mouth, was little compared to the monsters and Titans he fought daily. Percy had stood face to face with Kronos, with Gaia, Gabe was nothing compared to them.

    Yet - because there was always a yet - he could never fully shake the fear that came to him young. You would think that it would fade with time, with his muscles and skills and how honestly, Percy could kill a God these days.

    But it never left him, it wouldn’t leave him.

    -

    Even years later Gabe still terrifies Percy, but he manages to keep it together until he has a nightmare and Annabeth is there in the aftermath

    Summary

    Hands go around Wylan’s neck three times in his memory, at varying degrees of official strangulation. He wonders if with each time, he became more separated from his body, or more forced to reconcile with it. Either way, he’ll try to keep all that mess locked away under the surface, hidden away from Jesper especially because he can’t stand to lose him. Shouldn’t he have known it would all come crashing down?

    -

    A few moments of Wylan’s life, three of which where he was being choked, and the night where his secret—his father, his past, and seemingly everything else—is revealed.

    Summary

    Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.

    Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.

    ----------------------

    Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

    Summary

    “What do you think you’d be doin’, if you weren’t a Hero?” Warriors asks him, laying the question out before him and the stars and the fire that crackles.

    [...]

    “I don’t know,” he blurts, unhelpfully. It’s a lame answer to a loaded question, but he can’t find it in him to even say the word travel; it leaves something bitter at the back of his tongue, something heavy in his gut. Some part of him worries, immensely, about what that means.

    The question goes unanswered, really, even in his head. And it haunts him for months.

    OR

    Where infinitesimal things take up the space of a universe.

    Summary

    Once, Hyrule was the only person he knew named Link. He was the only person who had held the triforce, the only person who had to run from the forces of evil, to defeat an enemy too great when he was too young, too small, too alone. Once, he cast a desperate bit of arcane magic and thrust himself and eight strangers on a quest.

    Now, Legend smiles more, and Twilight's shadows are a little lighter. Now Wind laughs as loud as a storm with Sky's smile as soft as the following calm.

    Someday soon, Wild will stand in a land of darkness, fighting an enemy all too easy to laugh off, though the darkness doesn't laugh. The shadows themselves will plot and scheme. Soon Wars' own darkness with reach out for him. It isn't long until Four is haunted by his own shadow. Maybe, if they had enough warning there would be something that could be done.

    The problem with Time is that he knows the cost of meddling. Then, now, and then again, he was, is, and will be unable to warn them all properly. That's the issue with time travel. For those outside of the stream, the course of it can't be seen, can't be planned for. By the time you realize it's happened, it's already too late.

    Tales that take place in the universe of Ninjago wherein Garmadon has taken over the world. Featuring the main storyline and eventually a collection of side stories and scenes that did not make the cut, plus extended epilouges.

    If there are any burning questions about the world that aren't covered, feel free to comment, and I'll either let you know that it's already in the works or I may be open to adding it to the collection ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Summary

    It had been ten thousand years without a great evil and many thought that the cycle of light and darkness had finally been broken. That evil would no longer rise and there would be no need for a hero or a princess to save them. Such things as demon kings and magical princesses and chosen heroes were turned into legends and stories to entertain children. They were turned into songs and poetry while the fragments of their reality faded from the world.

     

    Until one day, the illusion of safety was broken. The sacred blade, hidden in an unchartable forest, protected by the ancient spirits, only able to be held by the fated hero, was pulled by the unluckiest of hands.

    AKA

    Link and Zelda break the cycle of fate by not following the formula. Link is a woman and Zelda still can't seem to grasp her promised sealing power.

    Summary

    “Shh. . .” Anakin says, gathering the younglings around him, reminding Obi-wan of all those whispered arguments where he had insisted to Anakin that yes, he was good with children, he’d be just fine teaching Ahsoka. He can almost feel the terror rising off Anakin from the hologram; Anakin doesn’t know what’s happening either. But he isn’t letting the younglings feel it. “You need to listen to me very carefully, okay? This--” his voice breaks, “--this is going to be scary. But you have to be calm, and strong. Just like Master Yoda taught you.”

    Summary

    The day before he fought Ganon the first time, he’d visited all the people he’d come to know and all the Champions waiting for release. He had thought it would be the last time he’d ever see them. He’d even made peace with it.

    Now, that yesterday is nearing a month ago for Link, and he is so tired.

    “I did,” he says. “I went. Fought Ganon.”

    “— Did you have to retreat?”

    “…Didn’t fight it today. Five days ago. And ten. But also today.”

    Link defeats the Calamity. And then he faces it again and again and again and again—

    Levi cares, despite himself: he checks the barracks at night, spars with Armin, keeps many secrets, and when everything goes to shit, he’s there to help even though he doesn't particularly want to be. It’s hardly surprising that Armin wants to return the favour.

    Spoilers up to and including manga chapter 105.

    Summary

    this is an obligatory sbi foster au

     

    While obligatory, this series challenges a few pervasive narratives and hopes to rewrite foster aus as a concept through radical acceptance, diversity, and realistic healing.

    Most people writing foster aus have no idea what they're doing. And tbf- that's okay. Most people aren't reading foster aus for accuracy. But as someone who is knowledgable about these systems and the trauma of foster care, I really wanted to see an au that tackled these concepts head on. So I did it myself.

    Thus, encompass was born, a foster au that tackles topics such as
    -disability
    -neurodiversity
    -queer identities
    -self harm and recovery
    -abuse cycles
    -intersex identities
    -how the foster system actually works
    -guilt, shame, and pride
    -and so much more
