Patrick Jane was once a charming fraud, a man who made a living pretending to read minds. Now he works as a consultant for the CBI - not because he chose redemption, but because tragedy forced it upon him. The moment he mocked the infamous serial killer Red John on live television, his life shattered. Red John answered the insult by murdering Patrick's wife and young daughter, leaving him with nothing but grief sharp enough to carve him hollow. Since that day, Patrick has lived every emotion a human body can hold - fear, rage, despair, numbness - all circling around one single purpose: finding Red John and ending the monster who destroyed his family. Grace Sullivan is only nineteen, yet she carries a lifetime of scars. Her childhood was a battlefield, her father the enemy who found pleasure in breaking both her and her mother. She tried to protect them, but survival was the only thing she ever managed. One night, after returning home from work, Grace walked into the same familiar nightmare - her parents fighting, her father drunk and violent. But this time, the chaos tipped into something irreversible. John Sullivan snapped, pulled the trigger, and killed Brooke Sullivan in cold blood. The gunshot echoed through the neighborhood, through the trees, through Grace's life. By the time she reached her mother, it was already too late. The case landed on the desk of the CBI. And suddenly Grace, alone and hopeless, crossed paths with Patrick Jane - a man who understood loss in a way few ever could. He could read her pain as easily as he read people's lies. Two broken souls, both robbed of the people they loved, both burning with the same quiet fury toward the ones who took everything from them. Their stories collide in a hunt for justice, revenge, and maybe - if fate allows - a reason to keep living.

"Mulder, why are you doing this? Why drag us out here in the middle of nowhere on a half-assed theory?" Actually, you know what, she already knew the answer to that. Why did she even ask him. He smiled wryly. "Can't a guy have a little fun when he's on holiday?" . . . . Takes place between Fight For the Future and Season 6 Spoiler: It absolutely, certainly does NOT turn out to be a fun trip. (Also posted in AO3)

Aki Nana spent twenty years alone in a world of magic, where raising the dead was simply part of life. Then one summoning experiment went horribly wrong. She awakens in a world where sorcery exists, curses prey on humans, and most people have never even heard of necromancy. Naturally, Nana adapts the only way she knows how. She starts summoning the dead. Unfortunately, her summons turn out to be less like obedient undead and more like a very strange family. There's a cheerful boy who follows her around as though she hung the moon, a gentle woman whose presence feels like spring, and a dangerous man who insists he doesn't care about anyone while quietly refusing to stray from the woman's side. And then there's the long-haired man who calls everyone monkeys, spends ridiculous amounts of money on perfume, and somehow settles into the household as though he belongs there. For a lonely necromancer who only wanted a few useful spirits, Nana has somehow ended up surrounded by people who care about her. For the first time in twenty years, she isn't alone. It might even have been peaceful. If the strongest white-haired sorcerer in this world would stop trying to steal her family.

For a while, it seemed as if all good things were stripped from them. No home, no family... It was then that she found them. She, and then he. What more will be discovered after the moon?

Oblivion reset the universe, imperfectly. Today, too many timelines are colliding, tearing space-time apart like a soaked tissue, triggering countless anomalies. And yet, our paths still converge, no matter where we've landed. Soon, it will be time to join forces one last time... to prevent our final erasure from existence. --- In this fic, I use an OC appearing almost only in deleted scenes - Rin - to revisit and analyze The Umbrella Academy: to clarify certain points and try to fill in the plot-holes. This fic is not a self-insert nor a OC-centric fic : Rin exists to flesh out the canon characters, and the fic is mostly focused on Klaus Hargreeves. Please read the introduction for more details ♡

The Electromagnetic Odyssey follows Deon, a brilliant but obsessive theoretical physicist who begins his experiment to harness energy from another universe. Then he tears open the fabric of reality, and it pulls him in. He awakens at the Chromatic Plateau, a breathtaking dimension with a magenta sky and resonating crystals, where his ability to manipulate electromagnetism is triggered. Erika, a sharp-witted field researcher studying the plateau's anomalies, rescues him and guides Deon to the city of Luminastrade. But Deon loses her to the owls in a forgotten tunnel and plunges into a quest spanning dying worlds and collapsing timelines. He finds her again in variations: a survivor of a dying world and a memory waiting where time cannot pass. With each loss, he carves another name into the notebook he carries everywhere, a ledger of everyone he could not save. To save Erika, Deon must face the Seeker Leader in a battle as much philosophical as physical. Korrin's argument is seductive: erase all suffering by erasing the conditions that made it possible. Deon's rebuttal is harder. Surviving is not winning, but it is what makes living feel real. Deon takes the last Galvanocharm. He has all five. The ritual begins. But Deon does not try to stop it. He cannot. Instead, he witnesses it.

(Where did Misty, Kyle's cat, go? Kyle thinks that someone stole it, and with good reason--the daisies in his backyard garden told him.) When Kyle's ragdoll cat, Misty, goes missing, he and his group of childhood friends launch their own after-school search party for it all over their hometown Brinevale. He's positive that someone has stolen her because flowers don't lie. The only problem is that they're unable to give him a good description of the supposed culprit, because, well, they're flowers. In the midst of their search as they nose around town, suppressed rumors of Guts, an animal serial killer who has been eviscerating pets and strays alike, surface. There hasn't been a 'case' in two years, but when a news article for an unfortunate stray dog shows up one morning while Misty is still missing, it sends Kyle spiraling into an even greater panic for the safety of his beloved cat. What began as an innocuous search for Misty slowly pulls them into the bigger and more sinister things at work in the underbelly of Brinevale.

As Tsukiko finally begins to build the life she's always longed for, the shadows of her past return to haunt her. A mysterious lion enters her territory, and with him, the winds of change stir once more.
