Following Olivier's footsteps

That evening, he stepped through the doors of the Cercle Interarmées, a place he once knew intimately. Once an officer, he now wandered there as a mere spectator of his own past. Among the crowded tables stacked with books and the authors signing them with mechanical precision, he moved through the room, observing, hesitating. This world was no longer his, yet something held him there-a lingering question, an unfinished thought.

For You My Love, I'll Do Anything by RianOroscoOla
9 parts Ongoing
"Are you certain that you know a person best?" The question, spoken in a voice chillingly cold, echoed through the assembled crowd of gods and humans, sending a wave of fear rippling through them. No one dared answer. Primordial beings rarely cared for the anxieties of mortals or even lesser deities. The speaker continued, their gaze sweeping across the silent gathering. "Do you wish to know the story of our honorable fighters for humanity? I think this will teach your arrogant selves a valuable lesson." With a snap of their fingers, Chaos transported everyone back to the blood-soaked arena where Ragnarok had unfolded. The shift was instantaneous, jarring. Confusion, fear, uneasiness, and caution were etched on every face, blurring the supposed lines between gods and humans. They shared these primal emotions, a testament to the shared experience of witnessing such a brutal and extraordinary conflict. "Enjoy," Chaos declared, the word hanging in the air like a death knell. (A reaction fic, where the Gods and humans react to the Einherjar's past life. It gets worse before it gets better.)
Who Knew? by Elise18patience

Ryan's cheerful whistling echoes throughout the hallway as we emerge in the cafeteria and a small hush settles over everyone. Ryan grabs a tray and then leads us to a table in the corner of the room. Sunlight is streaming through the big glass doors and as I stare my mind begins to go blank, my breathing becoming nonexistent while Ryan and the new guard sit across from me talking quietly. I'm thrown back into my memories and before I can stop it fear is constricting my throat, screams bouncing off the walls around me. Running feet pounding against the floors. Shouts everywhere I turn. My heart beats faster and faster as it crawls up my throat, and I don't try to stop it. The scream breaks free of me as I begin to claw at my arms and face until every trace of the memory is gone.

Beneath The Surface by fleurelevs
9 parts Ongoing Mature
It starts with chance - a meeting that wasn't meant to be anything at all. A fleeting moment in a café, an exchange of glances, a conversation laced with curiosity rather than intention. But something lingers. Neither of them seeks love. Not in the way the world romanticizes it. They don't believe in the theatrics of passion or the grandiosity of fate. But love has a way of existing in the quiet. In the spaces between words. In the pages of books left unfinished. No labels. No rush. Just a connection that grows steady, unshaken, and perhaps, inevitable. But beneath the surface of it all, something lingers. A question neither of them dares to ask. At what point does the quiet stop being enough?

Some people spend their whole lives running from the past. Arthur? He waits for it. In a city that never stops moving, he clings to the ghost of a love that time should have stolen. But when the past walks through his café doors-breathless, untouchable, and just as devastating-he's forced to ask himself: Do we ever truly let go, or do some promises linger forever? A story of missed chances, unspoken words, and the love that refuses to fade. Current word count = 15,565

He woke up in the ruins of a forgotten world, his name lost to the void, his past shattered like broken glass. But the hunger inside him? That was undeniable.

For fans of dark fantasy, tragic antiheroes, and eldritch horror. Short Story. The story should be completed around chapter 20.
