Summary
AU reboot of the entire SAO storyline, beginning from the premise that Kayaba Akihiko was obsessed with magic and Norse Mythology rather than swords and pure melee. As a result, he created the Death Game of Alfheim Online rather than the floating castle of Aincrad—a world in which player-killing is not a crime, and the nine player races are in competition with each other to reach the top of the World Tree. Multi-POV epic following the stories of multiple canon characters throughout the game.

Summary
“I belong to my mistress in body and soul,” Enjolras said seriously, “but her nature is such that she is unable to directly communicate her desires to me.”
Grantaire’s mind stuck on one baffling word in Enjolras’s sentence. “Your mistress?”
“Patria,” Enjolras clarified, waving a dismissive hand, as if Grantaire ought to have understood implicitly.

Enjolras makes an unexpected request of Grantaire.

Summary
Men like Enjolras belonged in books: those of ancient history, once the uglier facets of reality had been dulled by a forgiving editorial hand, or in poetry; in myths and legends that were by design exemplary, idealised projections, their heroes far too perfect to be wrought of anything but paper and ink.
If Cupid had struck Grantaire with an arrow of gold, he had surely struck Enjolras with an arrow of lead.
-
Grantaire invites Enjolras into his studio, beginning a slow but profound shift in their relationship.

Summary
Instead of committing suicide, Javert goes on a three-day bender. When Valjean finds him, Javert assumes he's a hallucination. Things proceed awkwardly from there.
--
“Where are you going?” the hallucination asked, which was foolish. Surely his brain knew what Javert planned.
“To the nearest--” Javert paused, looked at the recently vacated wine-ship, and amended what he had been about to say. “To the next wine-shop. Obviously I am not drunk enough if you are here.”
The apparition got to its feet with a wince, as though his mind had ridiculously conjured aches and pains with which to torment Valjean’s specter. “Javert, your words make no sense,” it said, and Javert laughed again.
“I am making perfect sense.” He touched his pocket where he kept his money, frowned. “I hope you are only a drink or two from going away. I do not know how much more beer I can afford.”

Summary
Enjolras presses his lips together. He already looks pained, and Grantaire hasn't even opened his mouth yet. That's got to be a record, even for them.
"I need a favor," he says at last.
"With what?" says Grantaire. "Ooh, are you forming a cult? Can I join? I'd be awesome at cults, I just know it." He ticks off his qualifications on his fingers. "I love chanting, I look great in robes—"
(High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.)

Aaron Davis thought he was done for in that alley. He had made his peace with it, he had said goodbye to Miles.
He never expected to wake up in a hospital.Peter B. Parker never intended to return to that universe. After all, his universe needed Spider-Man. He wanted to talk to MJ.
He never expected to end up back there, swinging through the streets with Miles.Certainly neither of them expected to be pretending to be married to an enemy, just to protect Miles Morales' secret identity.
And they could have never predicted that anything more would ever happen.- Language:

Summary
It is becoming easier, almost, to adjust to the new way of life. He has switched to using his left hand to cast the spell, and the effects are creeping further and further up his left arm with each passing day, even if they vanish by the next morning.
But that is an understandable price to pay. A reasonable price, if it keeps everyone else safe. It doesn’t matter, really, if he has started to find more and more lacerations from stray waves of shadow each morning as he lies in his untouched bed. It doesn’t matter that the pupils of his eyes, when he gazes into the reflective glass of the captain’s desk, are starting to disappear entirely. Nor that he will sometimes start at the faint feeling of fingers threading around his neck, tracing the line of his cheek.
“Praesidio. Praesidio, fortier defendebant, defendebant splendide...”
The Rocks family is safe. Any price is worth that.
***
Lapin Cadbury returns to the living during a storm at sea. The Sugar Plum Fairy has her own twisted web of manipulation to spin, with him at the very center.

Summary
There's a couple of important things to remember about Candy: her full name is Candice Marie Peterson. Phone number 555-8193. She's a sophomore undergrad majoring in Communications, after dropping out of a Nursing degree. Something about negligence and a severe lack of empathy. Her height is 5'7 in heels.
She's not Candy though. Candy shares a bedroom with her, decorating it entirely with sparkly, pink twinkle-lights and silvery ribbons, and never hears a complaint.
She doesn't remember much beyond Candy.

“How much will it cost?” Aki asked. Angel looked up, as if he was running some numbers in his head.

Hoping to extend Aki's lifespan, the Angel Devil offers Aki a contract.

Summary
"We found him in the woods!" Mabel says cheerfully. "Dipper thought he was you for a moment, but then he -"
His hair is a shock of gray, his glasses cracked. He's wearing a rumpled combination of tattered trench coat and red sweater that looks entirely ridiculous in an Oregon summer. He's looking at Stan with a look of distant confusion that makes him look, for one strange moment, like an overgrown owl.
Stan can't breathe.
"Ford?"
[Written for Stanuary Week 1: Con
Alternatively: Stan's best con has always been fooling other people into thinking he was someone actually worthwhile.]
