Summary
"You have to come with me," he shook his head.
His tone offered little room for argument, but she didn't care a bit.
"Why?" Theodora demanded.
"Because, Miss Byrne, to the great sorrow of the both of us, my saving you means that you are my responsibility until another steps forward to take over that role. Should you get yourself killed out here through sheer force of foolishness, it is a stain upon my character as well as your own. Now, will you come with me, or will you force me to drag you?"
**
When Theodora Byrne wakes up one morning, no longer in her cozy modern bed, but adrift at sea - and on a sea that's home to pirates, both undead and living, no less - she has no choice but to rely on the charity, and the eventual kindness, of Captain James Norrington if she wants to survive. She has no way of knowing the feelings that kindness will soon foster...nor what she'll be willing to risk for a chance to save him from his tragic fate before the end.

Summary
You weren't surprised when you woke up in the pod - you always did. After every victory or death or failure, you woke up right as that mind flayer forced that tadpole into your eye. You killed the chosen three an infinite amount of times, destroyed the elder brain more times than you could count - died even more! And yet, no matter what you did, you always woke up at the very beginning.
A lonely existence, for anyone, having to re-establish eternal loves and undying friendships all over again. It felt like a hopeless cause, having to play the same game over and over again. Resetting no matter how it ended. You thought it was an eternal, lonesome torture.
Until you find out a certain devil is suffering in the same hell.

Summary
"With that, he scoops up my body, still shivering with cold and fear, to the soundtrack of the ever approaching footsteps. The man takes a couple steps, stops to bend over, pick up his bat, tuck it under his arm, and grab my discarded jeans and sweater which he asks me to hold. I’m still scared. I don’t know this man and I have seen at least one horror that he is capable of, but I know what awaits me back at the camp. Another claim. Another rapist. Another day of wishing I was one of the dead ones walking around."

Summary
“I said I’d get you there so I’m getting you there,” he growled. “I’m not letting some silly doll make me a liar.”
He stalked off toward the fresher, but you followed.
“Doll?” You demanded, raising your voice. “That’s what you think I am?”
“Yes,” he said, turning back to face you, towels clenched in his fist. “A doll, some decorative, useless thing to sit there in pretty dresses and take up space. A doll.”***
You have a knack for finding trouble, be it in the midst of Galactic Civil War or when trying to live the quiet life after getting out of the game. So when you're stuck fleeing your new home planet after pissing off the wrong people - again - there's only one person willing to take you: the Mandalorian.
But after years of fighting faceless men, you're not the trusting type toward someone always wearing a helmet and the Mandalorian quickly suspects there's more to you than he knows.
*This is seriously a very slow burn, very plot-heavy fic!

Summary
Ten years ago, Selene Wavecrest, the bard who saved Baldur's Gate, vanished. Whispers say she died a hero's death. But the truth is far uglier.
Now, in the glittering city of Athkatla, Selene thrives as Estelle Voix, a celebrated singer. Her voice, once a weapon of war, now weaves a different kind of spell, enthralling audiences with its beauty. Her career hinges on an upcoming performance – her final shot at joining The Silver Comet, a prestigious traveling troupe.
But, fate throws a cruel hand when Astarion, his dark presence as potent as ever, materializes in the front row.
Silence is a death sentence. Her voice, the very tool of her success, could betray her. It's the same voice that once whispered promises to him, promises shattered by her escape.
A twisted performance unfolds, fueled by Astarion's obsessive affection. He transforms Athkatla into his personal hunting ground, determined to reclaim the woman who defied him and his dark designs.
One question hangs heavy in the air: Can Selene's perfect disguise hold, or will the price of defying Astarion be her very existence?

Summary
Your breath is catching in your lungs and your heart is pounding so hard in your chest you feel like your whole goddamn body is shaking. Your world has narrowed to the anger and fear-induced tremble in your limbs and the rough and relentless hold of Negan’s fingers on your skin and the amused, expectant look he wears on his face as he looks down at you.
Fuck, fuck, fuck —
--
After saving you and your group from a pack of walkers that would have guaranteed your death, Negan has you down on your knees with a barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat in your face and a decision to make: surrender everything you own over to the Saviors, or join the Sanctuary and agree to work for him.
And even though he's acting as if you have options, there's really only one choice you can make. (Negan/Reader)
