Summary
This is a rewritten version of my story with a lot more detail and character study elements. Mary is the only person who shows Matthew any kindness and empathy other than Jesus himself. Matthew starts to imprint upon her and becomes very enthralled by her, which leads to a kiss that forever changes their dynamic and provides much-needed comedic relief. Part 1 of my evolving with Christ series.

Summary
Seven days. Seven documents. One man learning what it means to be seen, chosen, and loved.
Tarquin has spent most of his life following orders—first as a soldier bleeding for an empire that saw him as expendable, then as a Chantry adherent trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for him. But after walking away from both, he finds himself writing: journaling, crisis-of-faith explorations, scar inventories that become self-acceptance manifestos. Through fragments of writing spanning his time with the Shadow Dragons, we see a bitter ex-soldier slowly learning to trust again. Learning what chosen family actually means. Learning that love—real love—isn't conditional on conforming to other people's definitions of worthy.
And learning that sometimes the most radical act of faith isn't believing in institutions, but in the person who sees the divine in you when you can't see it yourself.
A week-long journey through letters, journal entries, and personal notes chronicling one man's evolution from surviving to actually living—and finding someone worth building a future with along the way.

Summary
A chronological compilation of one-shots through different character perspectives in each episode of the series.
NEW CHAPTER: 4-D (9x04)
Belief wasn’t the problem; belief came naturally. What unsettled her was the weight of carrying it in a place where others measured worth in evidence bags and ballistics reports.

Summary
An apostate. A mutant. A piece of flotsam that should have been reclaimed by the sea. Hirudo would readily confess to being all such things, and they would always do so with a sardonic grin. At least, until now.
Long have they lived in content and ignorant exile, until the whispers of distant kin reached their ear, foretelling of things to come on the distant shores of Higashi. And so the exile sojourns to a land that is both familiar and strange. To meet distant kin who are likewise both familiar and strange.

Summary
Late at night, Hornet struggles to fall asleep, her mind too consumed with the predicament she and her friends have found themselves stuck in. But perhaps a Midnight snack alongside a friend is all she needs to be reassured, and encouraged, about what's to come.

Summary
In the time between his near-death and your rebirth (that is, escaping Pescadero), the T-800, then called (Uncle) Bob, along with his only family — John and Sarah Connor — left Los Angeles for new horizons. In the span of five meager months, no longer just a learning computer, he learned, developed, and nurtured personality, humanity, and morality. This is a collection of insights into those moments and many others.
Anachronistic and time-skipping, but limited to the aforementioned five months — June to December 1995 — and still simple to follow and/or assume temporal settings of, as specific times and dates don't matter overall and often self-referential.Series

Summary
"Are you sure this is the address?" Sweets asked. It seemed pretty obvious from all the bikes, but he was hoping he was wrong.
"Yes, absolutely sure," Hodgins replied.
Damn. "This is pretty extreme, man."
"Of course... because I've got a father-in-law that plays poker with bikers."
Well, he could do this. He was "Mr. Adventure." He could do anything.

It always starts like this— a void, muffled voices, floating in nothingness, warmth and then harsh cold, drowning for a moment and then waking up. Abrupt. As the first breath of air into his chest enters—sharp and painful—and then the first ray of light shines on him. Osamu Miya wakes up.
In which Osamu finds his soulmate and deals with the nature of their fate.
