Summary
"David worries that Spot was right to tell him to leave it alone.
He hates it when Spot is right.
So, David decides, then and there, that Spot isn’t right. David won’t let Spot be right.
David decides that he’s going to prove Spot wrong even if he’s the one who has to drag this strike along kicking and screaming."(Or, the Jacobs settled in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. This doesn't change as much as you'd think.)

Summary
When Ace runs off to confront Whitebeard without either of his brothers, any of his crew, his ship, or, for that matter, anything other than the clothes on his back, Sabo is left to play catch up before his idiot brother gets himself killed or, worse, adopted.
Hopefully, Ace is annoying enough that the Whitebeards simply give him back. Sabo certainly wishes he could do the same some days.
(Oh and Sabo and Ace share the power of the Mera Mera fruit. Somehow, this is still the least of their worries.)

Summary
"A light starts blinking in the corner of your eye, drawing your attention towards your idle monitor just before an incessant beeping starts up. The noise thankfully doesn’t begin to drive you out of your mind before a few clicks on your keyboard brings the screen to life. The beeping goes quiet but the light continues to flash and a shortcut on the home screen blinks at you. You navigate into the program that connects you to the observatory in New York and you look at the recorded anomaly - anomalies! - and a grin slowly stretches across your face. “Yes!” you cheer and throw your arms up, spinning away in your desk chair. “Finally!” When your foggy mind absorbs the rest of the relevant information, however, your stomach sinks like a stone in water.
There were three meteors within a week of landing which is… Well, it’s certainly not expected and you can feel the headache coming on as you imagine trying to explain to the twenty-somethings that surprise! You’re gonna be parents after all. Yeah, that’ll be great."
(Or, a Post-Scratch AU where Dirk and Roxy land at the same time as Jake and Jane. Oh, and some more familiar faces show up in the Alpha Session. Or, an AU just about as convoluted as Homestuck itself.)

Summary
Monkey D. Garp had spent pretty much his entire life doing things that he didn’t want to do.
Some would argue that Garp had never had a choice but to walk the path of a marine. Garp would argue that both of his parents had been strong, loyal marines as well. Even if there hadn’t been an active draft, Garp would have proudly followed in his parent’s footsteps!
(An insidious voice in his head, familiar and haunting as ever, whispers:
But would you have? You never had another dream, Garp? You really think you would’ve walked this path if you’d been given the choice? Truly? )
...
(Or the lovingly coined Garp Interlude that nearly took me out trying to finish, if you want a new perspective on Garp and some au goodness, this might be what you're looking for!)

Summary
"Ellie’s nearly as agile as you as you dodge through the chaos of the crowds. He’s weighed down by the snazzy of his these days though-
-and that’s what really makes the difference, in the end.
He's only a couple of steps behind you but it's a couple of steps too far.
A tentacle slithers from the sky above.
Your heart is in your throat and you pivot on your heel.
Ellie’s eyes widen as you dive back towards, widen further when you push him to the ground and he finally must see the danger snaking towards you both.
You feel it’s cold slime even through your clothes.
You can feel yourself disintegrating - a sensation you could’ve lived your whole life never knowing.
You hear Ellie scream, “Elijah!” and then you don’t hear or feel anything more."- Language:

Hello! This is just me wanting to show off scenes that I've had to cut from my fic due to either no longer working with the ideas I have or that I liked but don't think particularly fit with the flow.
I'm not planning on putting a whole bunch of tags on it because I don't want it to get out of hand on that front, rather I just think it's a nice insight into how much I write that never makes it to a chapter lol
