Summary
Before the village became abandoned ruins on the Risen Road, people still prepared for Greengrass.
Tessa Vale spends the day altering a ceremonial dress for the girl chosen to lead the spring procession. Around her, travellers leave without lingering, villagers reinforce cloaks for long journeys, and rumours spread faster than wagons through the square.
Nobody officially says the village is dying.
The dress still needs hemming.

Summary
“Look, I know we are on holiday right now,” Wyll begins. “No work. Just sight-seeing and relaxation. But…”
Wyll gives him an absolute masterwork of a smile. It’s charming without being too pushy, the kind of smile that says, “If you tell me that you want to go back to our lodgings, I will of course respect your wishes and will dispatch these foul monsters quickly and without a fuss. However, if you do find it in your heart to allow me to indulge in a quick spot of theatricality just this one time, I would consider it a kindness, and one that will be repaid.”
At least, that is what Astarion is choosing to interpret as the meaning of Wyll’s smile.
“Go on,” Astarion says, magnanimous. “You know you want to.”
With their wedding looming on the horizon, Wyll and Astarion decide to take a couple’s trip to spend time together and reconnect. Their holiday is supposed to be relaxing, fun, and low-pressure. It doesn’t entirely go according to plan.

Summary
Mogami stepped forward, slow and deliberate, like a boat built to cut through ice. She was shorter than Izuku, so she couldn't really tower over him, but that was the feeling she gave off when she leaned forward to inspect the table.
"I got caught in the rain," Izuku said, "So—I'm trying to fix—the pages were sticking together, and—"
"Oh!" Mogami yelped, and she dropped the carton. In half a second she had grabbed it again, turned it back right side up, but most of the contents had already spilled out over the drying papers.
or, Midoriya is having a bad time and then things get worse

Origin of a Non-Hero by Phantomrose96

Summary
Pro Hero Deku is not that tall of a man… In a simple white t-shirt and khakis, he’s not imposing at all. His 14 year old son, though much scrawnier in frame, is only an inch or two shorter than him.
Pro Hero Deku is not a cruel man. To the contrary, he cares too much, about all things at all times, about everyone and everything he can save if only it could come within his reach. The family counselor knows this. The counselor is surprised that, of all the world’s burdens Deku carries, it would be his family that slipped through his grasp.
Pro Hero Deku’s arms are gnarled and scarred, endlessly broken and re-broken in his youth from trying too much, and caring too much, and fighting too much for the sake of others. So why do they seem so awkward, so unpracticed, so unused to being wrapped in a hug around his son? Why was this boy the last thing for Pro Hero Deku’s arms to reach?
The counselor asks. The raw hurt of the session starts anew.

Summary
The Battle of Starcourt has been won, but its aftershocks are still rippling. Separated from the rest of the Party, Will struggles with feelings of abandonment, while El is trying to find her place with the Byers and come to terms with the loss of her powers - and the closest thing she's ever had to a father. Back in Hawkins, life is slowly returning to normal, or at least as normal as life ever is. The Party are starting to adjust to having two of their members at a distance, though everyone's still missing El and Will, Mike most of all.
But life in Hawkins never stays normal for long. Someone - or something - is following Steve and Robin, and they may not be the only ones under surveillance. A spectre from El's past makes an unexpected - and unwanted - reappearance. And an old enemy may turn out to be much more than meets the eye.
And sometimes, the bad guys are smart, too.
Separated by miles and misunderstandings, with communications failing and their enemies somehow always one step ahead, Hawkins' strange little fellowship find themselves caught between holding on and moving forward. If they want to survive to see another November, they'll have to face the past - and each other.

Summary
Zelda blinks. “Sorry?”He doesn’t look away. Funny Link. He doesn’t give up on putting his thoughts into words because he’s bad at public speaking but good at disaster, good at taking things apart, terrible at gluing them back together. Funny Link. He doesn’t breathe. When was the last time he breathed? Should she kiss him?
“It’s not okay, princess,” he says, and he sounds so goddamn sad, she has to stop laughing in her head for five whole minutes. “None of this is okay. Please don’t pretend it is. Please let me help you.”
The first rule of time travel: don't.

Summary
Before Dustin Henderson, Robin Buckley, Interdimensional Monsters, and the world ending, there was Tommy Hagan.
You couldn’t find Steve Harrington without Tommy Hagan trailing behind him. Steve might have been the charm but Tommy Hagan had always been the brains, their eighth grade teacher would later say at Tommy’s funeral.
All Steve could really remember from that day was the way that everyone turned their head around when he had showed up to the chapel late wearing his dad’s suit because he outgrew the ones that he owned. Steve never got the job that his dad had promised him because he messed up so bad with school, so here he was wearing a hand-me-down to his ex best friend’s funeral.
A story about friendships told in a non-linear fashion.

Summary
“If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”
Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

Summary
"Man turns his back on his family, he ain't no friend of mine," Steve's dad sings in the kitchen, Bruce Springsteen blasting from the record player. He always listens to records as loud as he can, and even though it bursts Steve's eardrums and makes mom disappear upstairs, Steve savors these moments. His dad winks and shimmies his shoulders, and Steve scrubs dishes as he watches his dad come alive to the music, until eventually, the tap water clicks off and Steve joins his dad, bouncing on his toes and swinging until he's numb.
Looking at this picture, you'd never know that ten years ago his dad almost killed him with a golf club.

Steve Harrington can talk to ghosts. Sometimes. More accurately, ghosts can talk to Steve Harrington, and this fact has already saved his life once. He's really hoping they feel up to helping him a second time around, because it seems like the Upside Down isn't done with Hawkins yet.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)

Tags
Summary
Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.
It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.
And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

Summary
It goes like this.
Astarion kills Cazador. Screaming, incandescent with fury, stabbing and stabbing and stabbing until his arm starts to grow weak and the surging feelings overwhelm him, and he collapses into a howling, gasping kind of sob. The tears come quick and hard but they fade just as fast, dried out by the rising ride of numbness that hollows him out from the inside.
It goes like this.
An accomplished necromancer and vampire lord, a knife through the heart is not enough to kill the Immortal Cazador Szarr. Perhaps it is months. Perhaps it is years. But something burrows its way into his mouth, seeking sweet refuge, and the living undead posses much the same mannerisms of a freshly-made corpse—his fangs sink into fur and flesh, quick as a mousetrap, and the squirt of fresh, hot blood drips down the papery, decaying channel of his throat.
A poetic take: Cazador contemplates death, an older Spawn!Astarion shows his strength, but not all can escape their fate.

Summary
CAN BE READ AS A STAND-ALONE. NO SPOILERS FOR THE MAIN FIC (just the game)
Following Astarion's life as the slave and spawn of Cazador Szarr, from the moment of his turning, until the near-present.
Note: This fic was recently rewritten to address some updates in canon. The changes were such that it kinda broke my entire timeline, so, as an apology, I've decided to make this a multi-part fic. I am also now including Cazador's POV for the prologue/part 1.
ENJOY! (I will update with a proper summary when I upload the rest.)

Summary
Five years ago, Jayce made an impulsive offer to build Hextech weapons to combat the rising tide of Undercity airship piracy. In response, Viktor torched their research and disappeared from Piltover for good.
Five years ago, a new airship took to the skies, with a young captain and a misfit crew and a massive, impossible tree growing straight through the hull.
These two events are completely unrelated - unless, of course, they're not.
Jayce steps into Viktor's space. His fist closes in the lapel of Viktor's overcoat. It's a little foolish, but he half-expects this whole thing to be some kind of hallucination. Something at the back of his brain imagines his hand will pass through Viktor like mist. It doesn't, and that, more than anything, makes this feel like more than a hypervivid variation on the same dream Jayce has been having for years now.
In his dreams, Viktor always has the clammy chill of a cadaver. This Viktor feels so warm under Jayce's hand, he thinks his skin might come away scalded.Bookmarked by Raayide
