    Summary

    Light is the victim of a brutal assault and finds himself spiralling into a state of despair as he grapples with the violation of his autonomy, pride, and God-complex. To cope with this Light does what he does best and manipulates the rules of the Death Note, using them to put him out of his misery whilst maintaining his innocence for the sake of his family, and of course, to claim victory over L.

    Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
    Cover art by Lao-Pendragon

    ------

    For many long years Merlin waited.

    For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.

    Until one day, suddenly, it did.

    When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.

    Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.

    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    Some things are supposed to stay private.

    For Eridians, heartbeats are not one of them.

    Rocky has data on Grace. Months of it. And the results are... significant.

    Ryland Grace really should stop being in love with his alien best friend. Unless he's prepared to have the worst — and best — time of his life.

    ~~~

    "Rocky analyze Grace heartbeat. Have months of data. The results are significant. Heart abnormalities correlate with Rocky interactions."

    I groan. Of course he analyzed my heart data! I'm not talking my way out of this. How could I, when it's my heart he can hear?

    "Extra information: Grace heart rate up by 18% when Rocky close."
