The story ends but life goes on by Yuki_Akatsuki
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic

Summary
Alternative AU where Andrew escapes Drake’s abuse at fourteen and finds a not-so-temporary home with David Wymack.
Without spoiling too much, the story will touch on some very heavy topics such as sex trafficking, rape, and its aftermath. However, the story mainly focuses on Andrew’s healing throughout and asks the question of who Andrew could have become if he had never gone to juvie or been put on court-mandated medication.
Andrew will not be portrayed as a psychopath like some stories choose to portray him, but rather as a character who went through hell and is trying his best to survive it. The story will mainly focus on Andrew and Wymack’s relationship, as well as his gradual friendship with the Exy players and his growing love for the game. Neil and the other Foxes will appear later in the story, so if you’re looking for a major Andreil focus, this probably isn’t the story for you.
Lots of hurt, but also lots of comfort, because Nora really likes putting her characters through the worst and we all need a little comfort afterward.
(Btw, the title is a reference to “I Was Just a Kid” by Nothing But Thieves.)Currently updating 3-4 times a week

Summary
Before the world ended, Solara Martinez was just a woman trying to make it through ordinary days, carrying her own scars, secrets, and stubborn will to survive. Then the outbreak tears everything apart-cities fall, families vanish, and the rules of humanity rot right along with the bodies in the streets. And then she finds him.
Rick Grimes wakes up to a world that has already moved on without him, alone in a hospital overrun by silence, blood, and death. Solara should know better than to trust a stranger with a badge and haunted eyes, but something about him pulls her in anyway. Maybe it is the grief he is trying to bury. Maybe it is the goodness still clinging to him when the world has given everyone else permission to become monsters.
Together, they are thrown into a brutal new reality where the dead are not the only danger, trust can get you killed, and every choice costs something.
As the road grows darker and survival demands more than either of them thought they could give, Solara must decide what frightens her more: losing herself to the apocalypse or letting Rick Grimes become the one person she cannot afford to lose.

Summary
The Bishops established a near-perfect system in Dema. Routine, monotony, and structure, it all works to numb the citizens, while Vialism breeds devotion and desire for Glory through means of self-destruction. It’s almost perfect, but a few still slip through the cracks.
One citizen sees Vialism as a means to an end. A way to escape the slot she’s been put in, to find some semblance of comfort in her short life. Another sees it as a burden — a duty placed on his shoulders by a higher power he barely understands. But one thing they agree on is that the Concrete City isn’t their home, but their prison. And someone on the outside is trying to light the way for escape.
(A novelization of the story of Trench)

Summary
The consequences of a single mistake can be severe, and as the Operator will soon learn, the consequences of a God Complex can be devastating. This isn't a game, not anymore, perhaps this was never a game in the first place.
Beware the helpful fool, for she is as likely to hurt as to help, never understanding why.

Loyal I Stay by Jis_Corner

Summary
When Yoren of House Poles, a house born from the Dragonseed, was born, he was taught that his house only serves House Targaryen. Yoren was dedicated and determined to defend their rulers, no matter the cost. One day, on Dragonstone, his ways are crossed by Princess Rhaenyra and her sons, believed to be bastards. That day changes Yoren and shows him a new form of loyalty.
This fanfiction follows the events of the show, up until the end of S1, adding some few elements from S2 and some of my own ideas. And also the dates are trying to be as much similar to the books as they can. I'm mostly trying to use the book as the main source.
Short summary: Rhaenyra is named heir in early 107 AC, Aegon is born in late 108 AC. Events of episode 3-4 happen in late 111 AC to early 113 AC.
I might edit this when I think of it better. :)English is not my first language, for any mistakes I'm sorry. :)

Summary
Zane, admittedly, may not have been as patient as he could’ve been. He could’ve tried to sit Lloyd down, explain why he had to go clean up, how it’d be better for everyone, as he was sure Master Wu would make Lloyd mop up any mess he did leave, and getting clean would cheer him up too, distract him from his loss in his ‘prank war’. Instead, he’d opted for the simpler answer– picking Lloyd up and hauling him into the bathroom, even as he kicked, bit, and yelled to be left alone. He’d fought it the whole way through getting changed out of his clothes and rinsed off, but by the time Zane had set up the bubble bath, he seemed a little less angry. He’d been suspicious of it, asked if Zane was serious, if the water was boiling hot, if there were piranhas hiding beneath the soapy surface, if it was poisoned (this made Zane giggle. Why would Lloyd worry about poisoning, had he been planning to drink this water?), and didn’t seem convinced even after Zane had assured him it was ok. It was only after Zane had entered the bath himself, to prove that it was safe, that Lloyd finally believed him.
TW for SH, action itself is never shown but it's pretty relevant in the fic -

Dark Enchantress Cookie was in a good mood.
She was so close, alas, time was not on her side as the ancients continued to be a nuisance.

When Pure Vanilla wakes up, he is met with a world that is not quite right, a world that is still young. Terror for the world he left behind fills him as he tries to navigate the world that currently is. From the second he wakes up, he has been trying to get back, a decision that only grows more painful the more time passes.

Summary
**Read that First If you have not** >> (Sequel too: Parenting is Hard Even For A Ghost And The Green Ninja)
Six months. after Sora nearly lost her life to save the realms, the scars of that battle still haunt the ninja. As Lloyd struggles to lead a world forever changed by the Merge, a mysterious relic known as the Nexus Key begins awakening powers no one fully understands. Haunted by visions of a forgotten gate between realities and an ancient force stirring beyond the realms, Lloyd, Sora, Arin, and their unlikely family—including the redeemed ghost ninja Morro—must face a threat older than Ninjago itself.
But as darkness rises and secrets buried before the First Spinjitzu Master begin to surface, one truth becomes clear: the greatest strength of a ninja is not power, destiny, or prophecy.
It’s family.
And family is worth fighting for.

Being the Unovan Champion should've been the crowning achievement of her life, and yet Marya finds herself bored.
Anyways, time to get isekai'd by Arceus.
A retelling of the events of Pokemon Legends: Arceus except it's almost entirely OCs and I make the inter-character dynamics and conflicts spicier than the game's.

Baby's first AO3 fic! This is a writing exercise that should also hopefully beat the brainrot back. Currently on semi-haitus because grad school is hard :,) -

Connor was built to hunt. Clover's designed gentler. Their goals couldn't be more different, but the leash looks the same when you mistake it for purpose.
Freedom was never a thing they were allowed to consider. Maybe that only changes when you finally see the leash on someone else.

Summary
The kid wasn’t in bed. Soda was in the only bathroom in the house. The kid went to bed early last night. The window in the bedroom was open.
Oh crap.
“Uh,” Dallas responded elegantly, before swallowing. “Kid’s not in the room.”
“What?”
Darry’s expression turned stony, then turned deadly, and then Darrel was running over to the kid’s room and he about busted the door down. When he saw the open window and the made bed (as if that would make sneaking out any better, Ponyboy!) he about lost his mind.
He sprinted back into the living room, angry and panicked.
“Ponyboy’s gone!”
Or; When Ponyboy ventures into the east side to watch a movie, a group of socs decide to have a little fun. Dallas finds him, tears ensue.
