The Split River High Afterlife Support Group by StillTryingToFly
Fandoms: School Spirits (TV)
25 Jan 2024

Summary
The Split River High Afterlife Support Group has been meeting since 1958, even if the two oldest members have been lying to all the others about it from the moment there was anyone else to lie to. I wondered what it was like for them, for all of them, and what better way to explore that than from Janet's point of view.
Also, why did they even bother adding those other three ghosts to the support group if they gave them zero lines and no names?

Summary
Nikandros would eventually come to the conclusion (the same conclusion his parents had reached some fifteen years earlier) that the only saving grace with his Words, was that they were in Veretian and he lived in Akielos where the number of people who could read Veretian was fairly small.

Summary
“But I’m--I’m just ordinary, how could I be dangerous?”
Ben gave an involuntary snort at that blatant lie. Ben had been given a front row seat to the Banana Incident of 1999, okay? Vanya had been plenty dangerous even when she had been “just ordinary”.Like most things that went horribly wrong in the Umbrella Academy it wasn’t the actions of one single person that caused everything to go to hell in a hand-basket; it was a group effort. But The Banana Incident of 1999 did start, as many disasters did, with Four.

How Four and Seven Learn To Love Themselves And Stop The Apocalypse by StillTryingToFly
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy (TV)
03 Mar 2020
Summary
A canon divergent AU where Hazel kidnaps both Klaus and Vanya after the fight at the Academy. Featuring torture, sibling bonding, time travel, and love in wartime; this is my self indulgent angst with a happy ending because I like to suffer but don't crush my soul you know?

People Mark Watney needs to buy a beer by StillTryingToFly
Fandom: The Martian (2015), The Martian - All Media Types, The Martian - Andy Weir
17 Jan 2016
Summary
Mark is back on Earth and ready to have drinks with the people who helped save his sorry ass. Told in no particular order and filled with head canons about minor and major characters alike, these are my self-indulgent "missing scences" from both the book and the movie.

King's Blood by FenceSittersAnonymous
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
Maester Aemon still has his sight when Jon Snow arrives at Castle Black to swear his vows. Targaryen’s might have typically had pale hair and purple eyes, but Maester Aemon would recognise his family anywhere.
His vows have been tested three times before. This is his fourth and final test and, after nearly eighty years of being a bystander at the Wall whilst his family destroyed themselves, Aemon decides that enough is enough. He’s been a man of the Nights Watch for most of his life; but he’s been a Targaryen all his life.
He might be old and trapped at the Wall, but he grew up in Kings Landing and no one knows the Game of Thrones like he does.
And so, everything changes.

Summary
"Each of us when separated, having one side only, is but the indenture of a person, and we are always looking for our other half. Those whose original nature lies with the children of the Sun are men who are drawn to other men, those from the children of the Earth are women who love other women, and those from the children of the Moon are men and women drawn to one another. And when one of us meets our other half, we are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and would not be out of the other’s sight even for a moment. We pass our whole lives together, desiring that we should be melted into one, to spend our lives as one person instead of two, and so that after our death there will be one departed soul instead of two; this is the very expression of our ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called Love." --Plato, from Aristophanes' speech in The Symposium.
An Eagle soulmate AU.
