Summary
What does it mean to be human?
Is it the way we think? The bodies we inhabit? The morals we live by?
This question has echoed since the first spoken word — and still it churns, shifting with us as time moves forward.
But what happens when something far beyond human asks that same question? A being so vast, so unbound by our logic that it cannot truly understand what it means to be human — even if it has been one before. Could it live as we do? Could it choose to stay human, to remain shackled, even when offered a taste of the infinite it truly is?
The answer has always been NO.
But what if that certainty isn’t as absolute as it seems? Can fate be rewritten? Can even inevitability change?
One curious scientist — who has glimpsed the infinite and survived — is ready to help answer that question.
Together, they begin an experiment.
It all begins with a connection — one that might unravel everything.

Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.
--
Or: Maelle returns Lumière to its former glory, but... things just seem a bit off. Gustave investigates. -

Listen, Porty had slept on some decent motel beds and leather couches and particularly cushy alley ways. But they didn't hold a candle to this couch. No, Porty loved this couch. He'd marry this couch. He'd spend forever with this couch.
It was his couch now.
Red Son was just gonna have to deal with that.

General Grievous survives his duel with Obi-Wan on Utapau, but the Republic "wins" the war. In the remnants of the Separatist movement, one IG-100 MagnaGuard must take command of a broken fleet, wrestle with free will vs. programming, and discover what it truly means to feel.
He was never meant to be a leader. But the Force had other ideas.
If androids dream of electric sheep, what do they see in their nightmares?
———
A multi-POV story spanning:
General Grievous
A sentience-awakening MagnaGuard
Clones post–Order 66 clinging to their Jedi
Separatist holdouts
And B1 battle droids
Set in the days and weeks after the Clone Wars, this is a very slow burn focused on trauma recovery, legacy, and found family. Expect grief, droid philosophy, and occasional explosions.

Summary
An author goes insane from an existential crisis and copes by inserting herself into a story. She makes a whole new universe and splits herself into 4 parts to create new characters and chooses to live in this universe instead of her own, where people can be hybrid and there is less suffering. However, going power crazy she chooses to make the people around her suffer at will. The story to contain just a little bit of everything!
I want this to be a proper Novel one day, and this is just the first draft. If there are mistakes, plot holes etc they will probably be fixed in the future. However, this will take a VERY long time because I have a lot of stories I'm writing. But still... -

Summary
He was a thief. This face wasn’t his. This voice wasn’t his. Even his personality…it wasn’t his. He hijacked this body and obtained all of it as a result, including memories. He remembered this life so clearly…even if it wasn’t his own. But he wanted it to be. God, did he want it to be.
With solemn eyes, he admired the boy in the mirror. He wished he were truly Hikaru Indo, not just a reflection. The answer as to why was simple. Hikaru Indo held Yoshiki’s heart. He wanted to be liked by Yoshiki, too.
Hikaru ponders the meaning of Halloween and what it means to dress up as someone else for a day. It's hard for him to comprehend, since every day of his is already spent playing the role of someone he isn't.

Summary
After an assignment, Allen Walker discovers a strange stone that stirs something inside him — a deep, unshakable pull, both curious and protective. Soon it begins haunting him with visions, dreams, and ghostly apparitions. As he digs deeper, Allen uncovers a trail of shards scattered across the world by an unknown woman, each echoing with secrets meant just for him.
Joined by Lenalee and Lavi, Allen embarks on a covert quest, racing to piece together the mysteries tied to these fragments while hiding it all from the Black Order. The path is treacherous: balancing the heavy mantle of Exorcist with a forbidden pursuit of truths that draw him ever closer to a woman he cannot name, yet somehow yearns for.
What waits at the end of this journey — revelation or ruin? One thing is certain: the closer Allen gets, the harder it becomes to deny the pull of destiny… or the weight of a past reaching out to claim him.

Summary
"Wake up."
He remembered the moment of impact, the feeling of being sent flying only to be run over yet a second time where he lay. He remembered the pain, and the sound of rending metal and shattering glass as the truck wrapped itself around a telephone pole; he remembered the way he couldn’t hear at all out of his right ear, he remembered gagging on his own blood as he lay on the concrete… but somehow he was still here. He was here, in his apartment, alive and well with Wooyoung holding on to him so hard it hurt.
“You, you were there after I got hit. When I was dying. I remember you holding my—holding my hand,” Yeosang faltered, empty stomach roiling at the memory. “I—I wished for someone to stay with me until the end and you showed up not two seconds later and now I’m alive, what the fuck are you?”
