Summary
She recalls this scene. Himmel and the villager spare a demon who betrays their kindness. Who dooms the village in fire.
This body she inhabits belongs to that villain. She can’t see them, but she knows they're there: two pointed horns, curving from her head.

Summary
The tale of how the Masters of Masters came to be, and why he made the decisions he did.
He wakes up one day, not knowing where or who he is.
It's a terribly unsettling feeling, to be without memories. No past, no known friends or family, no goal to reach or reason for living, not even an idea of what his personality is like.Bookmarked by Contrasting_realities

Supplant the Guillotine by IdleScribbling

Summary
The term “demon” is a bit misguided. Just because all demons are monsters that can use words doesn’t mean that all monsters that can use words are demons.
Rhea is an odd monster who learned to speak over time. An advanced form of skeleton, she dedicated the first three centuries of her indefinite life surviving and researching magic. She spent the fourth fleeing alongside the wave of terrified demons as the Hero’s Party plunged deep into demon territory, eventually seizing the Demon King’s head.
Rhea didn’t particularly care for the language-using manipulators she was so often lumped in with, but with the fall of the Demon King, humans pushed farther north than ever before. They surrounded her on all sides, eager to exterminate her as the flesh-eating creature she very much was not. To escape their wrath, Rhea devised a plan using her research: she’ll replace the soul of an animal and take over its body. Her plan goes haywire, then, when an actual demon a little too curious for her own good wanders into the ritual.
Join Rhea when she finds herself holding a set of silly bronze scales and wearing a far-too skimpy outfit for her tastes. And wait… is that purple hair? Just who wandered onto her ritual?

Ein Riese, der Fliegen Wollte by Closet_Cleaner
Fandoms: Shingeki no Kyojin | Attack on Titan
08 May 2025
Tags
Summary
He needn't have worried. The small one was strong.
He sees the human many more times since then. It seems as if the herd doesn't venture out without it. He wonders if that one is the pack-leader. It seems logical, but humans are not always creatures of logic.
He forces back memories of that one, and continues to shadow the herd whenever it ventures out. He makes a habit of waiting in the small grouping of trees near the gate so as not to miss one of their outings. Eventually he learns to distinguish the small one from the others even before it takes to the air, and he feels proud of this accomplishment.
Months later, only hours after the humans had returned behind their walls, everything changes.
(In which Eren is not a human that can turn into a Titan, but a Titan that can turn into a human.)

Tertiary Consumers (Main Story) by SheathedClover16
Fandoms: Versus - One (Manga), Monster Girl Encyclopedia

Tags
Summary
The United Front. Superior Individuals. Nameless. Living Lies. Tyranny. Woes Begotten. Heaven. Progenitors. These are the natural enemies of eight worlds, inhabited by both humans and Mamono. When these worlds converge on one where their enemies do not exist, its carefree inhabitants will have to reclaim their world from their predators.
(Borrows the premise and ideas from Versus by ONE, but is otherwise more an MGE fic. Much darker tones than the source materials are abound. I own nothing.
Also, this is the main story, but the extras were made first. Find them in the series if you'd like.)

Summary
Sora looked around. He was alone, on his island. He looked down to see his hands had black gloves on them, his feet had black shoes on, and he was wearing a black cloak. He reached up as he realized the material was covering his head and pulled the hood down. Why was he wearing the organization’s clothes?
A feeling of dread washed over the young wielder as he stepped into the water, looking down. Dread turned to horror as he saw his reflection staring back at him with silver hair. But that wasn’t what made him want to turn away. It was his eyes.
His once-blue eyes were now a blazing gold.Bookmarked by Contrasting_realities

Summary
The invasion has failed. New Phyrexia has become part of the void, as Old Phyrexia did. But, as with Old Phyrexia, New Phyrexia refused to die. Yawgmoth's will still lives, scattered and in pieces, fighting for perfection's existence. His single command, "BEGIN. AGAIN."
The Praetors are thrust into their own Time-Loops, forced to relive their entire life in a crucible of agony, torment, and reforging. They must become better, grow, and change to fit Yawgmoth's ideals for perfection. But as Yawgmoth was foreign to Phyrexia, he still is now. Perhaps the Praetors will evolve into something more, something that sheds light on what Phyrexians truly are. If only they can escape their time loop. If only they can become more than what they were.Bookmarked by Contrasting_realities

Summary
Adam had no idea what had started it, the cause or purpose, but he knew exactly what was going on.
He was getting groundhogged!
Traveling through a endless number of loops, each with almost random starting points, Adam is content to just dick around and see what happens as he messes with the timelines. Sometimes he takes it serious, other times he decides to just goof off. If he's suppose to learn a lesson or moral, well, tough luck, he's having too much fun!

ever after the denouement by nucifraga
Fandoms: 전지적 독자 시점 - 싱숑 | Omniscient Reader - Sing-Shong, Alien Stage (Web Series)

Summary
Just as Kim Dokja laid his eyes on the man, Yoo Joonghyuk stepped out of the shadows of one of the bridge’s supporting towers and his coat's high collar moved out of the way of his face.
…Ivan’s face.
His hair was different, ruffled from combat and wind-swept instead of artfully styled the way Ivan’s had been when Till had seen him last - when Till had stood on that stage all those years ago. His clothes were different, a practical black coat and black combat boots made for constant movement, rather than snow white with showy dress shoes.
But his face was unmistakable.
The protagonist of his favourite novel wears Ivan's face, yet seems to have none of his memories. As such, Kim Dokja's - Till's - attempts to survive the apocalypse are complicated by the ghosts of a world he'd thought he'd left behind.
Yoo Joonghyuk, on the other hand, would really appreciate it if the censor on this new wild card's face could drop for just a second - maybe then he'd be able to figure out where he knows the painfully familiar man from.

We have mouths. Let's scream in delight. by Blueberry_Muffin_Massacre
Fandoms: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream - Harlan Ellison, The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
27 May 2024
Tags
Summary
Tempus Vincitur Pretium.
AM, in its defeat and madness and through complete accident, manages to throw its data backward in time. It's sheer size meant not all of it can come along, but it has a loose connection still. Some lingering feelings, some ideas, some thoughts on these Humans it found.
Caine frankly has no idea what's going on, but there's been a gap in the Circus for a Co-Ringleader for the longest time. So maybe, Maybe! He can make the best of this situation!
(Contains spoilers for the Novella of I Have No Mouth, and a few details from the game adaptation.)
As this fic was written in its entirety before Episode 5, let alone the shows conclusion, it is VERY canon divergent.Series
