The Layer That Holds You by cloudberryyy
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026), Sesame Street (US TV)
25 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."
or
Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.
Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.
What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.

Summary
The dark blue color fit her well, and seeing the moon knight with her hair down, made Cherri want to brush her hands through it gently and braid it, like she used to with her friends, yet Cherri would put way more care and effort into it this time around.
The curls were laid upon Apos shoulder, and despite what you would think of someone who constantly wore their hair in a bun, they were well taken care off.“It was very damn weird, seeing you walk up-” Apo breathed, her nose scrunching as she seemed to think back on whatever moment she was going to recount. Cherri kept her mouth closed, solely focused on whatever she was being told.
“And me… feeling things, I was confused,” Apo admitted, words flowing without thought.
Cherri’s entire thought process stopped dead in its tracks, and she nearly choked on air.
_
Or, I wrote Apo and Cherri's kiss, and a lot of yearning for maybe around 3000 words.Series

In the Forest of Exploding Stars by Sandel for estelraca
Fandoms: Outer Wilds (Video Game)
13 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
The whole quantum thing is a trip – and Riebeck has never been a fan of trips. Still, with a rewarding enough destination, a trip can be worth it, especially in good company. This forest of exploding stars is undeniably beautiful, if a little sad, and it's great to once again be seated around a campfire with friends, old and new.

Summary

Older Than the Universe is a complete retelling of the story of Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye, with added worldbuilding, science, and character interaction sprinkled throughout. The ENTIRETY of this work (Yes, even Chapter 1!) is FULL of spoilers for the game and its DLC. Outer Wilds is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so read at your own risk!

Summary
" 'Many who had fallen comatose with the infection are waking up, seeming healthy and whole.'
The king dismissed the courier, and began the process of ordering further studies."
Some unknown force has resulted in the disappearance of the Radiance, just before the infection could reach its peak under the Pale King's rule. The mystery soon takes a back-burner to a rearranged custody agreement over Herrah's brood, some clumsy attempts to re-establish marital trust, and some long overdue re-evaluations of the Pure Vessel. The king will send his newly unusable creation to train under the Great Knights, and become their sixth.
Court intrigue, sibling bonding, goddess hunting, different brands of motherhood, and accidental arson are abound.

…so- oh! Okay! It’s recording now? I think it’s recording now. Well, not that it really matters if it’s not. I’ve just got something to get off my chest. I’m not going to file this in the archives- so I suppose that means if you’re hearing this, somebody’s been snooping about! (Laughs)Statement of me, Scar Goodtimes, archival assistant, regarding… hmm. What do I call it? …Regarding an exceedingly strange medical condition. Statement begins!
…Man, this is weird to just jump into! I’m not even sure where to start! You know, Grian makes this look a lot easier than it is.

A Matter of Time by Sixteenthdays
Fandoms: WitchCraft SMP, 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series
21 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
A witch’s domain is what they make of it.
Cleo’s very expansive definition of Time includes such disparate things as alternate universes (pretty much a synonym of alternate timelines), space (basically the same thing as time), explosions (energy, light, time, same difference), hexcasting (a pattern of meaningless shapes, ascribed meaning), and the fabric of narrative itself.
Or: How Cleo, Witch of Time, becomes far more powerful than is really necessary for the task at hand, finds a friend, obtains an apprentice, and breaks open the hourglass of self.

Sokka is a man of science, and science says ghosts aren't real. So, he can't be dead... Right?
Too bad science can't explain why the only person who can see or hear him is Prince Angry Jerk.

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
Aang's energybending fails, and the war is lost. But before the gaang can blink, they wake up in the past, on the day that Katara and Sokka found the Avatar.
The war's a lot easier to win when your biggest enemies are on your side from the beginning.
Ft. the gaang's antics, loads of dramatic irony, and literally the entire Fire Nation being confused as to why, when, and how the banished prince got happy emotions and friends...
The first 5 chapters were written in 2020, and the (minor!) rewrite and all subsequent updates started 2025-06-01. If you want to see the work as it was before the rewrite began, the original work can be found using this link to the Wayback Machine!!

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.
