Summary
Cynthia probably shouldn't tell this man that she's from the future.
"I'm from the future," Cynthia says.
Or: local history/mythology nerd (among other things) ends up in Hisui. Surely nothing can go wrong with this.

Summary
It's an open secret that whenever there's some universal threat to the Pokémon world, a bunch of cosmic forces will summon a human or two to fix things up. But no one's perfect, and someone along the way might have overestimated the severity of the upcoming disaster by a factor of 10 or so.
At some point, you almost pity the harbinger of the apocalypse.

Summary
Yagi Toshinori watched the green haired boy walk away after saving his friend and shook his head. While the boy's actions were heroic, he was just too reckless. He walked in the opposite direction, thinking about a time he could meet the candidate Sir Nighteye put forward.
Izuku Midoriya goes home and decides that, even if he can't be hero himself, he can still help them with his analysis. Cue Izuku catching the attention of multiple heroes who are a little more open-minded and willing to see the potential in a quirkless kid.
This fic has a discord.

A (sadly incomplete) TTTE fic that set the bar for many other angsty train stories!

Summary
Getting online was only the first step.
Plunged in the vaste world of Seiberutopia Tales Online, Optimus the Geomancer, Ratchet the Healer, Omega the Warrior, Prowl the Rogue/Ninja, Bumblebee the Bard and Bulkhead the Gunner are trying to find their footing, with more or less success.
Suffice to say, between game mechanics to understand and overcome, random bits of (extended) bad luck, Auction Houses putting thievery to shame and players who can't take 'no' and 'leave me alone!' for an answer, the experience feels mixed for some.
But a series of chance encounters may very well changes it all.
And perhaps, just perhaps, leads to the creation of a Guild that'll mark S.T.O.'s history...
Assuming they can overcome their first Dungeon together to begin with.

Summary
(The sequel to my fic The World Is A Stage and I Am Merely A Player. Please make sure you read that first! You will be VERY confused if you don't.)
Because of Player's stint as The Hermit, V.I.L.E. is back and, now, they have the chance to grow bigger and badder than ever. Player is a valuable asset to A.C.M.E. in the face of V.I.L.E's return, so the organization decides to overlook his numerous crimes (for now), and Chief offers him a second chance at redemption. Player goes from hacker to tracker, burdened with the near-impossible task of hunting down V.I.L.E. and putting an end to their schemes—again.
But Player is restless. Sitting in A.C.M.E's computer labs, all he can do is watch V.I.L.E. grow. He wants to do more to help, and he's tired of being under Chief's constant surveillance. So he breaks out on his own—and with his new best friend Sonia, of course—and enters the field for the first time.
Playing double agent with V.I.L.E. isn't going to be easy, but Player will stop at nothing to make things right. Even if that means walking right into the lion's den.

Summary
She was slowly building up to it. For weeks, she had been gathering the courage to finally find out why she was coughing up flower petals without warning. She had a book which could potentially help her, she knew some people who would definitely know a few things.
But Serena had been in denial. She had hidden it from her friends. Had insisted she was fine. Not for one second did she want to admit that there was something terribly wrong with her. She just wanted to travel happily with her friends.
Was that too much to ask?
When she finally found out why life had to be so unfair, she couldn't choose whether to laugh or cry in hysteria. Maybe, both.
She was in love with Ash.
And because she was so irrevocably in love with a person who, most likely, would never return her feelings, she was doomed to an early demise if she didn't accept the alternative: severing her love for Ash to save her own life.
Arceus, she hoped she could delay her death until after Ash eventually left Kalos, once the League was over. The last thing she wanted to see was his sad eyes and the utter devastation when he realised he was the reason she would succumb to her last painful breath.
She'd rather die alone.

Beautiful fic- my favorite execution of the hanahaki trope.
