    Summary

    “It started when I was introduced to you to be your work partner here. The moment I saw you, I just knew you would be a total pushover. An easy target. Easy to hurt, easy to control, all from your pulse, the way you spoke, muscles, and breathing. Your body language gave everything away. You were the perfect plaything for me.”

    Or

    Jōno has been practically manipulating Tetchō for years ever since he’s been recruited into the Hunting Dogs.
    Realizing over time that he wants to be a better person, he decides it’s time to apologize.

    Summary

    "Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”

    Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.

    Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?

    Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.

    And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

    Whumptober 2023 Day 5: Debris/Pinned Down/It’s broken

    Memory is foggy and dull, wrapped in bubble wrap and spotty, like a book with missing pages, but it comes back in spurts the longer he sits and mulls with his head against a bumpy wall. A brief conversation with a man behind a desk, suitcase at his side, a mustache that curled and a marble desk that was cold to the touch. Tremors and a shrieking radio and unsteady feet. It all comes back in waves.

    It’s not the first thing that he remembers though. This first thing he remembers isn’t the shaking and groaning of a building, or the sudden screams of people above and below him and the screeching of car wheels. No, it’s diving beneath a table, luggage forgotten, hand wrapped around a fistful of fabric and a little body beneath him, trying to be heard about the noise with a cracked voice.

    Or

    After an earthquake, Mustang and Edward are trapped under debris. Relatively unscathed, Mustang looks for his major and a way out.

    Summary

    The story begins like this:

     

    There is a legend in Fontaine,

     

    That every time the sky does rain,

     

    It comes, not from wind, or cloud, or sky,

     

    But from the great Hydro Dragon, feeling sad enough to cry.

     

    Or,

    In which Freminet, somehow, keeps running into none other than the Chief Justice himself.

    Things all sort of begin to unravel from there.
