Summary
Gun & Goo are sent to a deep jungle to retrieve something for Choi. While there, Goo disturbs something incredibly ancient and incomprehensively vast, something that leaves him injured and dreaming.
~~~
There's a clearing there, bright like daylight. In the centre is nothing but a grassy ring and a twisted tree, completely unlike the others in the jungle. Outside that grass circle is a shimmering field of metal spikes, iron teeth pointed up and screaming at the sky.
Dizzy, Goo takes an involuntary step forwards. Suddenly, as if some huge invisible beast has thrown itself from the middle of the circle, an entire patch of spikes ripples – not just spikes, but hundreds of gleaming beartraps. His ears ring with the cacophony of snaps prickling through the air.
He blinks in shock, and opens his eyes again.
There’s a clearing there, shrouded in pitch black, but a shiver of moonlight makes its way through and illuminates an old jungle tree stump in the centre. It’s a peaceful sight, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels like he’s seen this clearing before.
~~
Touching on themes of family, vulnerability, and the infinite.

Summary
Pockets of silence between them become common and marked with blood. Gun has a broken arm, Goo silently drives him to their doctor. Goo hurt his back after a nasty fall, and Gun silently massages away the pain. Gun got swiped across the chest, deep gnarly gashes, and Goo takes care of it, still silent, but their faces aren’t blank like they were the first few times. Now, Gun scowls and huffs at Goo’s injuries, and Goo sets his mouth into a flat, angry line every time he’s tending to Gun.
They’re only quiet with each other when one of them is injured, and whenever one is injured, the other quietly tends to them.
It’s a truce, a pact, something they both take very seriously. It means that they can only be vulnerable with each other in those quiet moments. It means they can be vulnerable with each other. And despite himself, Gun doesn’t ever worry Goo will hurt him in those moments.

GunGoo brainrot as per usual ;-;

Summary
~~~
The birds were in here yesterday, and one lies dead of fear on the attic floor, legs curling, feathers ruffling in the breeze from the open window. The smell of it will ward off more birds, probably, but you hope it might attract a few cats.
You don’t think the bird is to blame for what comes through the door today, though. Humans. Humans aren’t usually attracted to the smell of death, and it’s faint enough that they can’t smell it anyway. They can feel it, though. You watch through a million shadowy eyes as they shudder, raising their lights and commenting on the sudden chill.
How interesting.
~~~Wanted to write a spoopy story and couldn't be bothered coming up with my own paranormal investigator characters so whoop whoop, have a story from the point of view of a demon!

Summary
NOTE - Work contains spoilers for literally all of TMA! All of it!
And despite that, is still probably inaccurate :D
Also because I don't want to give spoilers to any over-eager TMA lovers who haven't finished yet, this is... A very bland summary xD
~~Jon and Martin find a way to undo everything that has been done and reinsert themselves into the past! Except they accidently slap a mildly traumatised Elias in there too, without realising, because ~whoops! They find out they're back at MAG 39, just before everything hits the fan, and realise they might just have a chance to fix, well, pretty much everything.

Summary
"So," Dream whispers awkwardly. "I assume we just... Treat this like a normal guard post?"
"Sure," Techno shrugs, and they quickly get into position on either side of the Prince's heavy wooden doors.
It could’ve been at least another hour before the door creaks open, and they both keep their faces carefully neutral as the Prince emerges. From the corner of his eyes, Techno sees him stop and turn to stare at them, starting with Dream and ending with Techno.
“I didn’t know guards were allowed long hair,” he says after a while, and Techno glances up to meet his eyes for a heartbeat before dropping his gaze back down.
“And I didn’t know Princes were in charge of guard uniforms,” he retorts thoughtlessly, and notices Dream’s sudden shocked look. Poor city baby must be horrified by his lack of respect. But Prince Wilbur just laughs, brown eyes alight with a sudden ease, and flashes a grin at Techno.

i.e. I've procrastinated on posting for too long and making summary hurts
Have a medieval fic, made with pain and sleep deprivation :')

Summary
Ever since freshmen year, Lizzie and Chip have been a team—the dynamic duo of East High's drama department. But the scales aren’t always even; Chip is the support to Lizzie’s lead role, the second-last bow, the harmony to her melody, and he longs for a chance to step out of his sister’s shadow. Perhaps the spring musical, with its pair leads, will be his time to shine!
But things go horribly off-script when Lizzie chooses Niklaus to be her audition partner. If there’s any chance for Chip to steal the spotlight, he needs to pair up with someone, and fast.
Enter stage left: Gillion Tidestrider.

Summary
"He made his way inside, stepping over blankets and feathers and shulker boxes still waiting to be organised. He walked past the kitchen, where too few dishes sat in the sink. And when he stepped past the kitchen, he froze. His heart stopped.
There was his friend. Crumpled on the floor in the middle of the room.
He wasn’t moving."- The Boulder, ie the Entity, decides to use Grian's heart to keep itself alive. Shame a human heart can't handle it.
