Miraculous Ladybug

Occam's Razor

by Flairina

Lila arrived at school, and everyone immediately fell in line with her. Falsehood after falsehood flew from her lips, and they ate them up without a second thought. It didn't make sense. It was wildly out of character.In fact... it almost makes one wonder...

Cookie Run (Video Game)

my eternal crimson rose

by windarchersglabella

[OFFICIAL SEQUEL TO 'my aching chartreuse heart'] Fire Spirit knows that life likes to throw curveballs at him. There are times when he welcomes them, like how he found himself befriending Wind Archer, the cute yet emotionally distant florist in town. In fact, there's a high chance they're on their way to becoming something more than friends, with Fire Spirit having confessed his feelings and Wind Archer having not completely shot him down. But then there are the curveballs that he doesn't welcome, like when he visits a newly opened tea shop with Wind Archer, gets offered a job there on the spot, and accepts for some godforsaken reason. It's a ridiculous turn of events, but it's not one that he necessarily would have minded that much, if not for one thing: The tea shop owner is Wind Archer's ex. (Or, the one where the Eternal Flame himself begins his stint as a lowly tea shop barista, working alongside someone that seemingly everyone but him considers infallible. Soon enough, floodgates are opened, unleashing waves of self-doubt that he thought he had left in the past.)

Only Constant

Unbending

by EverythingCounts

As girls they would have either swooned or scoffed about the story of a secret prince, the true heir to the Iron Throne, hidden in the North. Now though, Sansa and Arya see an opportunity to keep their beloved brother - no, cousin - save at home with the pack, and to take back what the North and House Stark have fought for so long. Independence. But time is running, the preparations for the march South almost complete, and then not only their freedom, but Jon Snow would be lost to them, both lost to the queen they so despise. So, the last of the Starks take a chance risking all, unbending, to win the game.
