Summary
Calm down. Calm down. Breathe.
Dream doesn’t know where he is. He doesn’t care. All he cares about is trying his best to breathe normally as he huddles into himself.The problem that seems to be demanding his utmost attention at the moment is his annoying mystery affliction. This is the third time it has distracted him now. When the Corinthian mentioned Burgess– he couldn’t wrangle the spike of anxiety in his gut, and it made him lose control of the situation.
This can’t keep happening to him.
Why can’t he just focus? This thing, whatever was happening to him, it’s just some little nightmare that seems to be plaguing him.
Focus. He tells himself for the umpteenth time. Suck it up. Focus on the ruby. Once you get all your tools back and fix the damage you’ve done to humanity, then you can focus on whatever this is.
He tries to breathe. It doesn't work very well.
----
Dream goes on his quest for his tools, all while trying to handle his trauma.

Summary
Pyrrhus points at the carvers. "This... Patroclus. Do not include him. I will not let any commoner toil the name of my father. This marker honors Achilles, and Achilles alone." With the snap of his fingers, they begin to carve Achilles’ name on the stone.
'Wait-' The thought of him as a shade, slowly losing his memories of this life, 'losing Achilles-' Patroclus claws and screams, but no one hears him.
'I need to be with him,' Patroclus begs. 'Oh Gods, anyone who can hear me, please, you can’t separate us, please, you can’t keep me here, I need to be with him, please-'
They finish Achilles’ name, with not a mark for Patroclus.
The next day, the Greeks leave the shores of Troy.
----
As a shade haunted by his guilt, Patroclus loses the memories of his life, and of Achilles.

A Promise Made and A Promise Kept (Chaeya story) by LisaFolixa

Summary
Kaeya was not an emotional man. He did not let himself get close to anyone, for fear of repeating his mistake a third time. He'd been first abandoned by Khaenri'ah, and then once more by Mondstadt. Both times because he had been too honest, both because he had gotten too close. In the cold clutches of Snezhnaya, Kaeya now had a third chance. Where he could find closure on his previous life, and where he could begin anew.
When he recognizes Lord Tartaglia in Liyue during his escape to Snezhnaya, it is both a blessing and curse. On the one hand, this could be his best chance to learn the language and have an in with the Fatui so he could find some answers on his father's death, disappearing after. On the other, it signals to him that the Tsaritsa has plans for him, confirmed by the Vision now on his hip. He could be walking right into a trap laid out for him, walking into a plan made to ensnare him when he could simply keep walking and avoid all of it. When he ultimately decides to approach Tartaglia, he does so only to get what he needed and to leave without a trace.
Kaeya could never have known that the Harbinger would be his path to salvation.

> Tihomir chuckled, a breeze ruffling his gray-speckled blonde hair. “Quite the contrary, actually. I’ll let you in on a little secret I’ve only realized as I’ve gotten older.” He leaned forward, green eyes seeing far, far too much as he met Kaeya’s gaze head-on. “Your heart knows, Kaeya. It knows what it wants and it will go for it. The confusion and uncertainty comes when your mind becomes involved and thinks you want something else. But if you can truly listen to what your heart yearns for deep down and take your thoughts on it with a grain of salt, you’ll have all the answers right in front of you.”
This fic is so peak, tihomir adopt me pls

Bookmarker's Notes
lmao this is really good!! it's *very* funny, I don't think any other fic so far has made me burst out laughing as much as this one, and each character, main or side, really feels alive. author how do you write like this, this is amazing. what I love the most though is how author portrays kaeya. I love this characterization so much. he's both a smartass and a mf dumbass, and there's also the hidden layer of angst to him that comes from his history. it's also a really sweet detail that kaeya doesn't kill hilichurls and finds other ways to deal with them.
i really liked this fic and I sacrificed sleep to read it. author hasn't touched this fic in years but I'm subscribing to it anyway, just in case

Summary
What do you mean?” Ryuji tilted his head.
“It’s called Just Die. It reduces the SP needed for Insta kill skills like Mudoon or 'Please Die for Me' to zero.”
Ryuji and Ann blinked and blinked again trying to figure out what Morgana is trying to say. He watched as the gears churn in their head and they come to an epiphany, their faces growing horrified at the implications.
“Wait, you are saying. Joker can insta-kill literally everything in this palace. WITHOUT using SP at all?!” Ryuji clarified in astonishment because there is no way there isn’t a catch to this. “Without repercussion?!”
“Yes. That is exactly what I’m saying.”
Or the NG+ au where Akira knows more than he lets on, the Phantom Thieves start to suspect one of their own, and Akechi is in for a wild ride.

Summary
From a young age, Akechi Goro was forced to accept that life is not fair. When the world is full of injustice and seems determined to throw that in your face at every chance it gets, what are you supposed to do? Sometimes you just need to tear the whole damn system down.
Meanwhile, Kurusu Akira just wants his friend back. He never meant to become a delinquent, much less the leader of the Phantom Thieves, but he supposes he’s never been very good at staying out of other people’s business.
A soulmate au where writing gets transferred to each other’s skin. As a result, they become long-distance friends… until Akechi lets his jealousy and anger get the better of him, that is.
