    Summary

    All’s fair in love and war. Plots & Prosody is the equally indulgent Patchwork Plots spin-off drabble/snapshot (mis)adventures of Evie, set during the main events of BG3 and after, as she makes a new life for herself in Baldur’s Gate. And the devil attempting to court her while he takes over the Hells.
    .
    .
    Things are bustling in Baldur’s Gate as the city rebuilds. Life is looking up for Evie who has ambitions set on her (re-)inventions and business ventures as she juggles a certain vampire’s budding political career, the unwitting godhood bestowed upon her by a clan of fanatical fish people, and the increasing attentions of a devil who she believes woefully has no other friends.

    Summary

    A MOST RIVETING ARRANGEMENT OF SNIPPETS FROM AN ADJACENT NARRATIVE
    FEATURING FAMILY, RUTHLESS CAPITALISM AND THE HORROR INDUCED AGONY OF REALITY
    KEEP YOUR RIBCAGE SHUT AND YOUR MIND UNWOUND
    PUBLISHED BY [REDACTED], A SUBSIDIARY OF THE JAKOBS CORPORATION

    A Borderlands rewrite, with a twist. No, several twists. More twists than... a pack of cinnamon rolls? If cinnamon rolls were full of tentacles and space magic, that is.

    Rated M for roughly the same reasons the Borderlands games are rated as such.

    Content warnings distributed on a per-chapter basis, please familiarize yourself with the chapter summary before reading a chapter.

    Summary

    crack open the pbrs and crank up the talking heads baby - your college experience awaits! the one where sirius and regulus are reunited for the school year and everyone's best-laid plans go astray

    or, my semi-autiobiographical marauders-au-as-love-letter-to-small-liberal-arts-colleges, featuring lots of coffee shop drama, gay awakenings, terrible decision-making, and (loving) pre-med bashing. resemblances to real people, places, and events are totally intentional.
    general CW for substance use and abuse, as well as SA, DV, and mental health discussions.
    much more of an ATYD/Crimson Rivers/Choices fic than a HP fic. in this house we do not support jowling kowling rowling
    - updates every friday (unless i say otherwise)!
    - dedicated to my own LOVELY girlfriend who is more or less the remus lupin to my sirius black

    Summary

    By sacrificing her soul to save Regina from darkness, Emma Swan accidentally travels back in time, ending up in the Enchanted Forest long before Regina became the dreaded Evil Queen.
    Emma will witness all the horrors that happened in the life of the woman for whom she has great affection and for the one who just gave her soul for her to have a happy ending, but in addition to the horrors that led Regina to become the Evil Queen, the newly Dark One will also meet a sweet and innocent Regina who believed in true love and everything that surrounds the story of her own existence.
    During her journey through the past, Emma will discover the secrets (some of them dark) that connect her family, Regina's and also Rumple's and that will bring certainty that her parents aren't the perfect heroes they claim to be.
    In the meantime Emma will have to deal with the understanding extent of her feelings for Regina and what really led her to sacrifice herself for the brunette.

    Summary

    After visiting a teaching friend in Japan, Alexa finds herself at the doorstep of a local psychic due to an awakening of musical powers. This leads her back to Japan, to Genkai, and to a dreadful social interaction with a demon. Once assigned to a team with Hiei as a partner to protect demon-human alliances, Alexa and the former Spirit Detectives become targets for an archaic organization bent on complete segregation between the two worlds.
    Despite the terrible nature of the conspiracy that unfolds, she learns quickly that a sense of humor is a human's strongest asset, Hiei is an excellent(?) target for teasing, and Kurama is a subtly diabolical prankster.

    Summary

    In which a GF-fangirl wakes up to find herself in the body of a baby Bill Cipher before the events of canon happens. Welp, lets see how much she can fuck this up.

    (Updates once every other week)

    (Now canonically a shared universe with the Triplet AU, Dimension 46'/-A and One Way(to absolve his crime))

     

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Ok, so I've decided to just put a warning right here about BlueBill from Dimension 46'/-A. He's not a good person, and is going to trigger a lot of people. Also putting up an angst warning for when things get super emotionally draining as a result of BlueBill and other terrible things making Bill spiral into depression.

     

    This is backstory, character exploration, slice of life and very much a cradle to the grave sort of thing. And... apparently the romance is finally coming up. Woop?
    This is not meant to be taken seriously, it's just a stupid idea I'm writing for fun.

    Summary

    As Spider-Man swung through the bustling streets of Gotham City, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Landing gracefully on a nearby rooftop, he scanned the darkened skyline, his Spidey sense tingling with anticipation.

    A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, the silhouette of a bat unmistakable against the moonlit sky.

    “Nice of you to drop in, Spider-Man," Batman remarked, his voice low and gravelly.

    "How about 'Hello, how are you doing?’ I guess not everyone knows how to give a New York welcome."

    "You're in Gotham City. And you're not from around here, that's for sure." Bruce said, feeling the grays growing in.

    "Nope, definitely not. Just passing through. You know, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and all that jazz."

    "Friendly, huh? Doesn't look like you're here for tea and cookies. What's your game, Spider-Man?"

    “Candy Crush.”

     

    Aka:
    You know it, you love it, it’s Spider-Man getting sent to Gotham after NWH!

    Very obviously heavily inspired by Dark Matter by mysterycyclone

    Summary

    Agape: In Scripture, the transcendent agape love is the highest form of love and is contrasted with eros, or erotic love, and philia, or brotherly love.

    Stede has been in a romantic relationship with Ed for six months, and he's happier than he's ever been in his whole life. Now everyone seems to be expecting the relationship to become sexual.

    But there's no way Ed would want that from Stede, right?

    A.k.a: what doesn't kill you makes you real weird in bed later in life

    Summary

    You had to be patient, flexible and able to handle well under stress; that was part of your job description. After doing this for forty years, you knew you got the hang of it. Yeah, your soul might’ve been under a contract but the pay was great and the words of affirmation made it worth it.

    But your job was not perfect. And there was one thing about it that always bugged you immensely. It was a shame that you reached your breaking point and you couldn’t abide by it anymore. By God, you were going to make him HURT.

    Summary

    “I realized that we’re now at a point of self-reference with the Internet culture that there’s almost no there left, you know? It’s important to make new things. It’s important to make culture, rather than simply reference it. I love a good cultural reference, and it’s one of the great joys in my life, but it has to all be in balance with the core job, which is to make something new.” - John Hodgman

     

    Internet culture in America has been infamous for taking any crumb of juicy gossip and blowing it up to ridiculous proportions. This, of course is due to the public's insatiable thirst for famous figures to exploit and curiosity to know what they have no business sticking their nose in.

    [A spin on the time-honored classic, "Marinette's Class Trip to Gotham City, America" coupled with world building, celebrity and paparazzi culture — topped with the media and online discourse.}

    Summary

    Keith couldn’t tear his eyes away. Time was kind to him. And five years was a long ass time.

     

    It was at this time Keith wished he was petty. He could make fun of him. He could take elation in the fact that Shiro was going white at the ripe age of 26 and had a kid that looked to be like four. But he wasn’t that person. So Keith had to settle with the fact that Shiro looked so fucking good after all this time.

    Summary

    In a distance universe far away, there exists a system where it is primarily inhabited by Just Dance coaches. Rather than being static dancing inhabitants, they are people who are having normal lives. By normal lives, it would mean gods walking on the earth, random shenanigans that they inflict with each other, the developing and destruction of relationships and both mundane and otherworldly activities that are given nothing more but a second glance.

    With a world filled with the ever changing and chaotic environment, what else does the future holds unto them?

    Summary

    update:卷四马上完了,因为我其实不太想写这个(我是女同性恋我讨厌描写男性性行为),所以卷五确定十五章以内完结,写不下的键政情节(会写一些灵感来源阿伦特的很 elitest 与阴谋论的东西,我现在不认同,但这就是之前的构思,作为键政它可能不是好键政但作为故事可能还是能看的)会放隔壁《海日》


    为探寻小洲之死,连明舟以周之化名,来到辉夜之城,一个国际性奴役组织,成为调教师。终于,小洲之死使周做出另一个决定。

    沈夜是周经办的项目。林锐是辉夜之城的继承人。科尔·哈维,北极罂粟般的欺骗者,则似乎是周的最后一位任务对象。


    第五卷《星火燎原》:最后的致意。

    所有章节均未定稿。

    如果评论,请评论在标题是中文的章节。


    灵感来源之一是萧如瑟的《五十弦》,以及其中的知念。

    灵感来源又一是江南《捭阖录》与《缥缈录》中的若干人物,以及:“正如多年以后龙襄说,即使你扒光项空月的衣服把他塞在泥坑里,第一个发现他的农夫还是会把他送到附近最豪华的宅子里,问问此人是不是那家遭了强盗的公子。”


    有明确的非虚构元素的作品应该是严肃的,尤其是在这些作品有阅读量的前提下。应该尊重真实的经验,或理论基础。而《辉夜之城》原作(及其外篇《计划之外》)就是在将一些本该被严肃对待的东西,以一种侮辱了其题材、亦凭借扭曲真实的煤气灯效应情感剥削与操纵了其读者的方式,商品化。

    我觉得辉夜之城(《辉夜之城》中的机构)、《辉夜之城》系列作品、《辉夜之城》系列作品输出的一些价值取向,都是反人类的。它的作品本身符合一些精神控制行为的特征。我认为,制作、电子出版并贩卖它,就是在对读者实施有危害的精神控制并牟利。我不反对描述与探究极端的、真实的或虚拟的、全球性的有组织暴力,但我反对将其以淫秽色情的方式表达。我不推荐任何人阅读《辉夜之城》系列作品,尽管它对我个人而言是一个有价值的反面典型。创作本作,有部分是出于自我疗愈《辉夜之城》与其作者给我制造的创伤,与反讽、反思、反对《辉夜之城》系列作品,的考量。

    谨以本作纪念一些真实地反叛与反抗过反乌托邦的人。

    也感谢剑桥大学、中国人民大学附属中学,它们(以及其他类似的组织)分别为这个故事的第一主角与第二主角提供了(虚构的)来历。


    简体中文互联网是一座知识分子的反乌托邦。我们被长城、被审核机制、被对流行文化的管控、被对出版物的管理、被对进口图书的限制隔离出了无数的回音室。如果简体中文世界的精英知识分子不创作描述他们精神生活的流行文化,他们就将被一些诸如《辉夜之城》原作的事物表达。
