    Summary

    Armageddon is fast approaching as the fragile truce between Heaven and Hell begins to break. At the same time, various characters from all walks of life (alive or undead) find themselves defying the destinies they once thought was set in stone, leading to unexpected alliances, rivalries, romances, and moments of introspection as two worlds in one — tough-as-nails I.M.P and quirky Hazbin Hotel — embark on an endless journey of defiance amidst the chaos of a rapidly-changing afterlife. Just because one is dead, doesn't mean their story is over. And just because you're a demon, doesn't make you automatically evil.

    (In other words, the biggest What-If Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel crossover fanfic you'll find anywhere!)

    Summary

    Instead of giving in to every nerve in his body begging him to wrap his fingers around Dongsik's frail little neck and watch the beautiful panic rise in those innocent eyes, he lowers his arm and gently wipes away the tears with the edge of his suit sleeve. The fabric drags softly across Dongsik's cheek, and Inwoo almost shivers at the intimate contact. It makes his skin crawl and his blood sing.

    -

    Every day, Inwoo imagines killing someone.
    Cold, calculating, and hidden behind a flawless facade, he's just waiting... for the perfect victim.

    Dongsik is barely surviving.
    Mocked, beaten, and pushed to the edge by his teamleader, his days are a cycle of humiliation and fear. When a new boss enters the picture, Dongsik dares to hope that someone might finally see him. And save him.

    And Inwoo sees him alright.

    Summary

    Five years after the assault on the Burial Mountains, Wei Wuxian disappeared without a trace. Nobody knows where he ended up, nobody knows if he is still alive. But when Nie Mingjue, seriously injured and on the brink of death, is rescued, the face that welcomes him is that of the man everyone thought was dead: Yiling Laozu.

    Their unexpected meeting forces them into a fragile alliance, necessary to face threats that lurk in the shadows, between lethal secrets and enemies ready to strike. And as they face intrigue and betrayal, Nie Mingjue and Wei Wuxian will discover that the line between love and hate is nothing more than a thin and unstable line.

    Unspeakable secrets, a trust that is difficult to earn, and a world that never stops judging them: will they be able to remain united when every step forward seems to take them back?

    Because, in the end, there is only one thing more dangerous than hating... it is falling in love with the enemy.

    Summary

    All’alba dei 50esimi Hunger Games Maysilee Donner ha una brutta sensazione. In onore della seconda edizione della memoria verranno scelti quattro tributi, due ragazzi e due ragazze, e per Maysilee, sorella gemella, parte di una coppia inscindibile, il numero 2 ha un significato speciale, quindi è sicura del fatto che la mietitura le riserverà delle sorprese. E non si sbaglia. Il suo nome viene chiamato da Drusilla Sickle proprio per secondo alla mietitura, e da quel momento nella sua testa Maysilee, pur mantenendo alta la sua dignità, inizia un conto alla rovescia per la sua morte. Le cose cambiano quando scopre di un piano segreto per sabotare gli Hunger Games a cui lei è assolutamente determinata a partecipare, che il suo pulcioso compagno di distretto Haymitch Abernathy voglia o meno, perché come diceva sempre sua nonna: “Tutti i copioni possono essere cambiati”

    Summary

    The more the reaping of the Second Quarter Quell approaches the more Maysilee Donner can't shake away the feeling something bad is about to happen. For the 50th Hunger Games two girls and two boys will be reaped and for Maysilee, twin to Merrilee, number 2 holds a special meaning, which is why she suspects the reaping will be full of surprises. Obviously, she is right. Drusilla Sickle calls her name as the second female tribute. The moment she hears her name called, Maysilee instantly starts in her mind the countdown to her death. Things change when she finds about a secret plan to destroy the arena and end the Games once and for all.
    It doesn't matter to her that her District partner, the filthy Itchy-Itchy-Haymitch, doesn't want to involve her, she is determined to be a part of the plan. Her Granny taught to her that all scripts can be changed, and she wants to be part of that change. Yet, Itchy-Itchy-Haymitch is going to make things very difficult for her.

    Summary

    The Force was never clean and neither were the hands of those who dared to try and master it.

    The Skyriver galaxy is threatened by an ancient darkness. Fractured souls and forgotten warriors search for meaning amid a haunting return of what was thought long dead and buried.

    As factions clash, the fragile line separating hero from villain blurs into nothingness. In a galaxy submerged beneath relentless tides of darkness and chaos, redemption is often a deadly gamble, alliances dissipate like smoke in rain, and survival often means confronting-and perhaps embracing-the very darkness you once vowed to annihilate.

    *The story follows four main protagonists in a shifting first person POV tale.

    Summary

    With their (somewhat forced) break over the new year, Jane Doe and Seth Lowell return to duty in full and pick up where they left off as officers of the Special Response Team, meanwhile Zhu Yuan has been looking into follow-ups on the Genesis Incident, only to be met with some very bad news.

    Unbeknownst to the team of Public Security officers, Belle and Wise have been spending their time over the new year, excluding that of Belle and Lighter's time together, investigating the Genesis Incident themselves. With various contacts pointing towards the Outer Ring, it isn't before long until Belle receives word of an informant willing to hand over information about the dismantled terrorist organisation and potentially even more.

    Little does anyone in or out of Blazewood know that, in the land's background, a war has been brewing.

    Summary

    Brutal injuries are nothing new for Blackwatch. Things happen, people die, and you have to move on. Cassidy always knew he'd face his end out in the field.

    Except he doesn't. After a mission gone wrong, Moira alters him the same way she altered Reyes, 'gifting' him with cells that spontaneously decay and regenerate in painful, unpredictable bursts. He survives, but he doesn't walk away unchanged. He's unstable, smoking at the seams, and desperate to pretend he's the same cowboy as before.

    Reyes recognizes every symptom. Cassidy wishes he didn't.

    Kagome, a woman erased from history, woke up to a planet that screamed.

    Summary

    “If hockey was that important for geopolitics,” María deadpans, leaning across the table to stab another pelmeni with her fork. “The Chinese would’ve gotten into it by now. The Russians want international concessions, and this is a cheap trick to get it. To be completely honest—”

    She dunks the pelmeni into her bowl. It almost looks like she’s drowning it when she twists the fork, coating it in fragrant orange soup. It almost looks like it’s a thrashing animal.

    “—it’s really annoying me. From a purely tradecraft perspective, from one lawyer to another, it’s a cheap trick,” María continues, pelmeni between her teeth. “Canada isn’t even the country who’s detaining Russian arms dealers. That’s US shit. It’s fucking annoying.”

    Shane doesn’t say anything. Shane’s looking at the pictures splayed across the table, face-up, and thinking about how if this all ends here, all Shane will have to show people when they ask about Ilya are six mugshots from when he was transferred from the Moscow jail to the Siberian penal colony, where his cheeks are hollowed out and his eyes are vacant.

    Summary

    Octavia Virenza was supposed to die.

    Betrayed by her parents and sacrificed in a forbidden ritual to save their failing lands, she awakens in the realm of Revan, the ancient God of Death. Instead of claiming her life, he keeps her close—drawn to her sharp mind, her ambition, and her complete lack of fear.

    As Octavia descends into the Underworld, vengeance becomes power, power becomes devotion, and devotion becomes something capable of breaking gods.

    But love has consequences, and the heavens are beginning to notice.
