Summary
In the aftermath of the Witness's defeat, a lone Titan picks up a lead and goes after it like a hunter. In a frozen corner of the system an unknown rupture is discovered.

From One 'Last City' to another, is one Guardian enough to turn the tide for New Eridu, another city set against a Hollowed Fate?

Summary
During the fall of the old capital, Wise lost his eyes in a large explosion of Ether at Helios Academy. Now armed with superhuman strength from the mysterious blast and the tools to back it up, he rebrands himself as Astraeus the independent investigator. With the help of his sister Belle, better known as the Proxy Phaethon, they venture into Hollows.
Along the way they’ve built an elite team of agents to aid them in their cause. But, while exploring the ruins of the old capital in Hollow Zero, they run into a living legend. A powerful swordswoman of noble blood, Hoshimi Miyabi, needs the help of Astraeus to save New Eridu from oblivion.
Unseen threats maneuver in the shadows of the city and plot for power. All the while, unknown and powerful creatures stir in their nest of thorns, threatening to spill out of Hollow Zero and finish the destruction of humanity once and for all.
Can Wise, along with his new friends in Hollow Special Operations Section 6, save New Eridu before it’s too late?

Bookmarker's Notes
Probably the best original Destiny story there is on the internet.
Someday I hope I can accomplish something even half this good.

Summary
Being the High preceptor of Yukui summit means having to be constantly ready to intervene. Being a Voidhunter means attending meeting with Mayflower. Being the foster mother to a motley group of well-meaning disciples who fate seems to love dragging into all sorts means having to be ready to bail them out of trouble when it arises.
This is one of such times.

Summary
After losing his Inter-Knot account and starting back from nothing, Wise realized he needed to start making money as being a proxy wasn't cutting it anymore.
Who knew that later he would be getting chased down by one of the fastest people in PUBSEC's Rapid Pursuit Task Force. A certain captain that seemed to steal his heart... but can he keep his identity as a street racer a secret?
With corruption lurking within and dangerous figures pulling the strings behind the scenes, Wise finds himself caught between love, loyalty, and survival in a city that never sleeps.
