["What are you waiting for," he spat, trying to get up despite his bonded hands, "Go ahead. Kill me."
The Front Man let out a low chuckle.
The sound, distorted by the voice modulator, was eerie and grating to Gi-hun's ears.
"I'm not going to kill you, Player 456," said the Front Man as he crouched down so that he was on eye level with his captive, "At least not yet."]

Summary
"The sound echoed in the otherwise quiet room, causing the immortal to open his starry eyes in recognition - he knew those footsteps, he knew them very well.
Expensive shoes - leather ones with a heel - appeared in his line of vision and his head tilted up, meeting the familiar smug expression on the Corinthian's face.
All of his creation was blinding white in the dim lighting; all except the dark sunglasses that obscured two rows of sharp hungry teeth.
There was a long moment of silence in which they simply assessed one another, a strange emotion passing between them.
Contentment.
The Corinthian looked, he dared say, pleased to see him.
"We meet again, Dream," he greeted in his silken tones, voice full of promises.”

Summary
The air was damp, a chilling breeze nipping at his skin, exciting the light hairs on the nape of his neck.
And then the Corinthian finally saw him.
He felt his various mouths water, gaze instantly drawn to the lean figure curled up in the middle of an intricate glass cage.
The King of Dreams was holy in his paleness. He was like a beacon of light in the surrounding darkness, his alabaster complexion starkly contrasting against jet-black hair.
Entranced by the view, the Corinthian took a step closer like a moth to a flame.
Seemingly asleep, Dream's head rested on his arms, long limbs tangled like winter wisteria around his body to hide his shame as best as he could, unwilling to bend to mortals even at his lowest.
The sight was utterly pathetic, and send a thrill of delight down his spine.

Summary
“Did you miss me?” Suddenly said Dream, something akin to excitement colouring his words despite the calm tone.
“I did not,” Tommy tried to say firmly, clenching his fists when his voice faltered on the last word.
Dream scoffed, rolling his eyes.
“Sure you did.”
-------
From the moment Tommy heard the sirens going off, he knew his days were numbered.
Why was he always running from something?-
OR: What if Phil wasn’t there to save Tommy from Dream after his prison escape?
[Based on the recent Dream SMP lore]

Summary
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”William Shakespeare, Romeo And Juliet.

Summary
Whatever it was that Buggy had or hadn’t done, Shanks started to smile again. He let go of Buggy’s chin.
“Like that,” he praised, his voice once more a loving timber, his hand a gentle caress.
“Keep your eyes on me,” he commanded, and Buggy wanted to wail, to scream, to laugh.

Summary
Wesker hums, the sound low and rich with amusement. His gloved fingers shift, curling around Leon's jaw, pressing into the hinge of his mouth, tilting his head this way and that—an appraiser examining a flawed piece from every angle.
A smirk tugs at the corner of his lips. "I think I'm beginning to understand the appeal."
—
When Albert Wesker receives cryptic notice about Ada Wong's betrayal, he takes matters into his own hands to secure the amber. His plans are then quickly sent awry by none other than Leon S. Kennedy, who has a curious affliction.

Summary
Snoke is gone, but his death has solved nothing between Hux and Kylo Ren. The First Order's trust in their leaders wanes as they vie for power over one another, and if they cannot learn to work together, they may both lose everything they've worked for.
Forging that alliance after years at each other's throats will not be as easy as letting the past die, however—they will face subterfuge, enemies in the shadows, treachery, and being stranded on a hostile planet with creatures out of nightmare, barely escaping constant danger with their lives while having only one another to rely on.
And that is just the beginning.
