Summary
Lews Therin Telamon sealed the Bore and broke the world in his grief. Rand al’Thor fought the Dark One directly, reforging the bars of his prison for another Age. Aldran of the Vale isn’t the Dragon or the Dragon Reborn. He’s just a fourteen-year-old goatherd, trying to keep his flock from wandering off into the mountains. But his soul bears the scars of greatness, and some part of him knows that it’s only a matter of time before the Wheel weaves away this simple, peaceful life.
Then raiders come for his mother, and something old, patient, and terrible finally answers.
~
Alternatively: Rand al’Thor dies in truth when he reforges the Pattern imprisoning the Dark One. He accidentally weaves himself too deeply into the Wheel. When his soul is reborn, Aldran is burdened with the memories of Lews Therin and Rand al’Thor. And in this life, just as the last, Aldran cannot escape the weight of prophecy.
Dragon. Dragon Reborn. Shan’dur.

Summary
A man wakes up in a frozen hut south of the Wall with no memory, no name, and a status screen. He dies of hypothermia three times before he figures out how to keep a fire going.
No noble birth. No convenient canon insertion point. Just a villager in the Gift in 288 AC, with a leveling system, an autosave that rewinds time when he dies, and the growing suspicion that he's not the first person the system has chosen.
Gamer AU. OC SI. Slow-burn progression fantasy. Canon divergence.

Summary
Ilya's father wakes him at four in the morning to tell him that he never had dementia, and that Ilya must leave Russia, right now, permanently. Forty-something hours later Ilya is standing in a township office in rural Ontario, marrying Shane Hollander for citizenship. Everything after that — the lawyer, the joint account, the wills, the drive up to the cottage — was never part of the plan.
Alternatively: In the summer of 2016, Ilya must flee Russia, never to return. Shane makes a brilliant plan: marry Ilya to get him Canadian citizenship. It’s only after the wedding that they realize citizenship law doesn’t really work that way.
Alternatively x 2: My inversion of the “married for citizenship” trope.

Summary
This is a collection for LS&S as well as some small post-epilogue scenes that may get posted. It's going to always be marked as "complete" because the story itself is complete; there just might be little bits and bobs here and there that I feel like posting.

Summary
There were four pictures in the tweet that ruined Ilya’s life.
Or, a woman secretly takes explicit photos of Shane while she is hooking up with him and later vindictively posts them online, causing a shitstorm of a media scandal that just keeps getting bigger. Shane freaks out, of course, but somehow Ilya is the one who really feels like his life is ending.

Summary
In Hayden’s defense, JJ’s new habit of dropping chirps that sound like they’ve come straight out of Shakespeare just seems like another round of JJ being his usual weird, over the top self. And hey, if he wants to call the opposing team a bunch of “malicious gnomes” or “mud-licking wretches”, he can have at it.
(After Scott Hunter coming out last season, everyone's making some adjustments.)

Summary
It's embarrassing enough that Shane wanders off his hiking trail and goes missing for two days, but thanks to Hayden's big mouth, everyone knows he was recently dumped, and they have a lot of wrong opinions about why Shane disappeared.

Summary
Shane returns from the showers to find the locker room far more animated than when he left it. Everyone has their phones out, and when he sees Shane coming, JJ says, “Câlisse, Hollander, about fucking time! Ilya Rozanov got caught kissing a man.”
After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.
Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.
