Summary
“No.“
The word rang trough the throne room like a gunshot.
Hermes’ fingers, which had previously danced over the screen of his caduceus halted and he raised an eyebrow as he looked up at Poseidon.
The Lord of the Sea held his head high, regally, unrelenting. His eyes were as dark as the waters surrounding Charybdis and his glance bored into each and every one of them, while his hands rested on his trident.
A silent threat.
Or:
It’s a Reading the book story.Old, done a million times and completely self-indulgent.
If you like this kind of story you’re probably desperate enough to check every new one out, if you don’t, I know there is nothing at all I can say to convince you to read this one, and if you don’t know what a reaction fic is and simply start this one out of curiosity , I might be the one to drag you into this rabbit hole.
If that’s the case, I am deeply sorry, and good luck. It’s pretty hard to leave this trope behind once you’re into it.

Summary
(The end is never the end. There's too much blood on too many hands and too many unhappy endings. Six years is a long wait for a grieving mother and a damning curse. It's time for more desperate measures. Perhaps resourcing one of the counselors - as she had watched so many do before - will prove benign. Looks like it's time to save the sole survivor.)
Dylan wakes up in a blind panic, kicking out and falling backward off of the log bench he's sitting on. Maybe it's a bit dramatic, but in his defense, he was just being pinned down in the kitchen, about to get his throat torn out by a goddamn werewolf. Sue him for startling.

I swear far more than I should, and I write ridiculously long end notes at the end of every chapter; if you don't like either or both of these things you may want to skip on reading this. Also my tags are a mess but I'm going to fix them when the entire series is completed whoops

Summary
“I want you to let Geto room in your apartment. I honestly don’t have the time or the resources to make this place a full-time psych ward. I’m putting both my crazies in one place, so I can keep an eye on you.” Gojo completely stops what he's doing and levels his stare on Shoko, human weapon eyes pinning her to the spot.
“Excuse me?”
“I won’t excuse you, actually. Think of it as my treatment plan for you. I whole-heartedly believe that this will help you both heal”
Gojo huffs out a sardonic almost-laugh, however pitiful an excuse for emotion it may be. “You’re delusional.”
“And you are sick. You’re both sick. And after all the bullshit life has put you through, I’d honestly be more surprised if you came out unscathed. But you didn’t. And I’m sorry. But you can’t just stay like this forever, Gojo. I won’t let you just continue to be miserable and think you can handle everything yourself, until one day you finally fucking break.”Gojo successfully beats Sukuna and Kenjaku, freeing Megumi and Suguru from their possession.
A journey of healing once the dust settles and the fog clears

Summary
Reo’s greatest fear is being a marionette: wooden limbs clacking in predetermined ways, controlled in every sway, only destined to follow someone else's instructions. Then, he meets Nagi, and he imagines cutting away these strings and finally becoming free.
He has to die to realize this isn't the case. That this has never been the case, and that Reo is nothing but a blunt instrument in the hands of fate, meant to guide Nagi to go far from his reach.
It’s okay. If it’s Nagi, then he can bear it.

Legitimately one of the best fanfictions I've read in a long time had me bawling like a fucking baby
