"love is deep as the road is long"

Elena has barely been in New York a single day when she discovers Elijah Mikaelson with no memory of who -or what- he is. So much for the so-called vacation Caroline had planned for her, because there's no way she can just leave him lost and alone in the city. Instead, she makes the decision to try and figure out what the hell happened to him.

Fic: For light shines brighter against the shadows edge

Ch 1-2/?; E; ~6k; a haladriel fic

The peoples of these lands share many tales, though they are all unique in their tellings. The tales tell of a lady of light who bound her light to the dark lord to hold him fast. The sun may rise, the sun may set, but ever does the lady of light hold the dark lord.

Or: Galadriel goes to stop the Dark Lord Sauron from enacting his plan to create the One Ring. But something goes wrong and they wake 4,000 years later, well into the Third Age, awoken by none other than Gandalf and four familiar Hobbits and one handsome ranger. The road is ever winding, but where does this one lead?

prompt- we're born with white blood, which darkens with mortal sins.

established icemav - short ficlet

Ice hissed as his razor cut a little too close to his jawline, nipping a tiny bit of skin in its wake. He stared in the mirror, transfixed for a moment as the blood welled up, black as night, and then dripped onto the vanity countertop.

He remembered being a young officer, blood as white as milk, even after the Layton mission. Killing a MiG pilot to save his own life and that of his RIO apparently did not count as a crime.

However, after thirty years of serving at the beck and call of the Admiralty, once four stars were on his shoulder, it meant his blood was no longer pale and innocent but dark obsidian. That was where the real crimes laid; behind the broad desks and under the pen of troop deployments, signing off on regulations that only became fair after 2011. That was the price Ice paid for those years of being part of a machine that wanted to do good but couldn't be good while doing it.

"Hey babe, do you think you have time for lunch today," Mav called from the bedroom, shocking Ice out of his trance.

Quickly he grabbed a tissue, mopping up all evidence of his black blood and flushing it before his husband could see it. Mav's blood was the color of oatmeal, never darkening past his childhood of petty crimes. When they had fallen into bed together, Ice's blood still pumped through his veins pale and ice-white. Somehow through luck and deployments, he had managed to conceal his current state from his husband.

"I think so; I'll tell my aide to clear the space," Ice replied, holding a folded-up tissue against his cut as Mav came into the bathroom behind him.

Mav wrapped his arm around Ice's side, tucking into his warmth. His husband was already dressed for the day at the base, his uniform scratched deliciously at Ice's bare skin as he stood in front of the vanity in only a towel. "Did you cut yourself? Here, let me see-"

Ice leaned away from Mav's hand, dodging his attempts to pull away the tissue. The cut had probably clotted by now, but it was still too risky for Mav to see the dark stain from his wound. "I'm fine, and you're going to be late. I'm not running interference with Cyclone again."

"When did you run interference the first time?"

"Day one when you broke the hard deck and performed an illegal cobra maneuver," Ice reminded him sternly. They both winced in memory of that lecture during the training for the uranium mission. Thankfully it had all worked out, and everyone had returned home safe and sound. Still, regardless of success, Cyclone remained a stickler for being on time. "And, of course, you were correct in your teaching methods; I don't regret stepping in."

"Have you ever?" Mav asked, his thumb trailing against the softness of Ice's waist before creeping closer to the tied towel. "Regretted stepping in?"

Ice looked at his husband in the mirror, knowing that the blood in his veins had darkened over time as he gathered favors and performed miracles to keep his wingman in the air and protected. "Never. You're worth it."

#3 of random merlin prompts:

AU - canon divergence, where Kilgharrah lied about the prophecy intendeding Arthur‘s (& Morgana‘s) death to end the Pendragon line. The dragon alters the prophecy just enough for his own interests that Arthur can lead Albion into the new era before he‘s supposed to meet his death at Camlann.

The key part he switches is that it was Merlin all along who was supposed to rule beside Arthur, as his King Consort and openly as the powerful sorcerer he is. But when Arthur starts falling for Gwen, Kilgharrah sees his opportunity to simply switch one servant for another with dire consequences.

And Merlin being Merlin does everything it takes to see the fake prophecy come true, even if it will break his heart.

Added bonus: Arthur doesn’t listen to bullshit prophecies and marries Merlin anyway and lives.

Warriors of Hope Swap AU - My take on the concept.

So basically I thought of a great idea for a WOH AU, But instead of characters personality’s or backstories are swapped…It’s the characters ages in a sense.

Basically the basic concept is that the Warriors of Hope members from the canon Danganronpa series are teenagers and the High schoolers like Class 78 and Class 77 and other Teenagers are the age of the Warriors of hope during The games events.

Though in this cause the Children version of Class 78 and other classes would probably have more messed up backstories or something due to the lore of Danganronpa and the role the WOH did in the Original game.

Also, for my concept I can see some of the members Either being hesitant on doing their tasks or rebelling against them and stuff like that.

Like Sakura or Mondo for example…

Or Other characters that could appear from other Fangans for this AU concept.

I can see Junko staying the same age from the OG games due to the lore and stuff like that.

But yeah! This was made for fun so what the heck!!!

Also feel free to make your own take on this concept and stuff like that.

Heya! So Yuuta got to keep his body after all... I imagine him walking back to the team and finding out that ta-da, his body's all stitched up and Maki's like 'get in there, NOW'

*𝕤𝕟𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕣* 𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕙, 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 𝕚𝕥, 𝕒𝕔𝕔𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕙𝕚𝕞.

Maki-san is very persuasive. No wonder she's a clan head. Also kudos to Shoko-san and the others for being able to do it.

𝔸𝕤 𝕗𝕦𝕟𝕟𝕪 𝕒𝕤 𝕚𝕥 𝕤𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕤, 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕐𝕦𝕦𝕥𝕒 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕒𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕘𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔾𝕠𝕛𝕠-𝕤𝕒𝕟 𝕒 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕡𝕖𝕣 𝕗𝕦𝕟𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝. 𝕋𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 𝕙𝕖 𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕤 𝕒𝕥 𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕡𝕖𝕠𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕥𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕥𝕠 𝕕𝕖𝕚𝕗𝕪 𝕙𝕚𝕞 𝕒𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕪𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕤 𝕨𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕓𝕪.

With reason. Gojo-san, before anything, was a HUMAN BEING.
