As I Lay Me Down

by anarchycox

Geralt has spent several hundred years alone. Except for the summer solstice, where there is enough magic that he gets to spend the night with Jaskier again. Geralt has reached the end of his life and hangs on long enough to make it to that night, to have that magic, and maybe finally be with his bard again, this time forever. Sometimes, dying isn't so bad, and definitely isn't the end.

Curiosity Killed the Cat

by Chaos_Valkyrie

Perry's phone rang, and he glanced at it, frowning a bit as he noticed the caller was Candace. He was near the entrance, so he stepped outside, even as he accepted the call. His kids never called him, for obvious reasons, and Candace rarely even texted him. So for her to forget and call…There was sobbing on the other end of the phone. His world narrowed down, and he didn’t even notice as the mug slipped in his hand, spilling tea on his shoes and the sidewalk below.He churred loudly, letting her know that he was there and listening.“Uncle Perry! We need help!” His heart clenched with fear. “I tried mom and dad, but I couldn’t get through. You’ve got to get over here right now… something’s happened to Heinz!”Perry’s heart almost stopped all together. The mug shattered on the pavement, but he didn’t even notice, as he was already sprinting for his car.

Heart Murmur

by Jackidy

Roach can't define it, not really. Comparisons come in the form of bodily ailments, an itch he can't scratch, a twist in his stomach. A heart murmur that keeps catching him by surprise.

Do You Know This Guy -

by SpaceCadetGlow

This essay is a formal organization of thoughts that have been percolating in my mind after over a year of musing on Izzy’s character. Izzy fans seem to find him relatable for many of the same reasons; we gravitated to the character because we see something of him in ourselves. I hope this essay inspires empathy and compassion for the character and makes anyone else who can relate feel seen. [Originally written for the zine Above All Else: an Appreciation of Izzy Hands]

Done with Family

by Amanda_Tora

Thirty years. Thirty years of surviving, scheming, and scraping by, all for one purpose: to bring Stanford back. But when Stanley Pines finally succeeds, his long-lost brother’s first reaction is a punch to the face and a torrent of accusations. Stan knew things wouldn’t be perfect, but he didn’t expect this. Now, as the bitterness of rejection sinks in, Stan realizes he's been clinging to a past that’s only brought him pain. Maybe it’s time to let go. Family doesn’t feel like family anymore, and Stan is done fighting for something that’s only hurting him. This is the story of Stanley Pines: a man pushed to his limit, who’s finally ready to walk away. Notes:This story is written from Stanley Pines' point of view, exploring his raw emotions and the harsh reality of his strained relationship with Stanford. This is not a happy story, and it’s not about forgiveness. This is about pain, anger, and letting go. Trigger warning for heavy angst, swearing, and themes of emotional trauma. This fic diverges from canon and digs deep into the unspoken pain between the Pines twins. Be prepared for a story that’s as bitter as the grudges they hold.

Shifting Sands

by Desdimonda

A journey with Gaara through four different winters from when he takes the mantle as Kazekage, and how he grows into the role, and himself. ---- There’s always a fog hanging around the people of Suna when he walks by, clouding their hearts and heads. For some, it sticks, still refusing to budge as he walks by. But for others, he notices that it’s begun to dissipate, the grey swell, thinning. It’s not quite kindness in their eyes - but a change. Just like the cusp of seasons, where autumn falls, shedding the remainder of its blanket, coating a walkway for winter to approach, step by step. ---- Written for the zine - A Year of Naruto!

Cereal

by My0wnlittleworld247

Why can't life be more like breakfast? You have the cereal, which you put in first. That's your life. Then you add in the milk, which fills in all the gaps; Those are your friends and family. And then sprinkle on the sugar, those little bits of every day that make everything sweeter. I've gone into metaphor mode again haven't I? Sometimes it's so easy to slip into; to dodge about topics rather than directly discussing them. That way if it gets too intense, you've never actually fully put yourself on the line. Your person isn't at risk. So people become more withdrawn and take fewer risks until everyone's like a turtle, and then anyone who dares step out of their shell is crushed, the people willing to cross the line are eliminated. And then everyone's safe. But no-one is new.

An Aside: Truths That Conceal

by Maiden_of_Wolves

Solas meets with Cassandra and Leliana to report on his cell visit with the prisoner from a rift. He arrives expecting to inform— and discovers Leliana has been building her own intelligence picture since they arrived. What Solas provides is the genuinely new threat: the brand is a bomb. He advocates for their release and training while carefully controlling how much truth to reveal. Cassandra reacts sharply to details in the guard's report that hit close to home. After she leaves, Leliana lingers for a pointed private exchange. The scene closes with Solas alone, processing new information about them that reframes his understanding of the person he's agreed to protect.
