    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.

    Summary

    Gabriel hurriedly pulled out the paperwork from where he’d stuffed it into his satchel strapped to his belt. Keeping one eye on the pair of machines below, he rifled through the crumpled paper almost desperately, actually reading the damn thing beyond the barebones profile at the start and hoped that the pull he felt towards the machine was because it had just killed his actual human charge and was hauling about their blood-

    Charge's History: Created by WORMWOOD FOUNDARIES, a mobile landship who services the EASTERN DESERT PLAINS, and a prototype machine built to combat the now defunct Earthmovers. Only one was created, though a ‘Security Variant’ called V2 was created one year after activation-

    GOD-FUCKING-DAMN IT.

    or;

    Due to a clerical error, Gabriel gets assigned as V1's guardian angel, who is on the run with V2 to avoid decommissioning. Gabriel is too stubborn to give up before he gives it an honest try, though.

    Summary

    Regrets…
    I have been drowning in them for God knows how long.

    I once assumed that I was dead inside during those final years of my life, but really, that empty feeling I had back then was NOTHING compared to how I feel right now...
    Being literally dead and all!

    Randomly, while I was trapped in the void self loathing, I saw… red?
    Small red text?

    Without a warning, I was suddenly launched across that eternal sea of darkness, and placed into a new metallic body... the very first thing I saw when I opened up my... eyes?
    It was:

    "IS THAT FUCKING YEVA FROM MURDER DRONES???"

    ________________________

    Or more simply:

    What if I got isekai'd into Murder Drones after dying?
    How can I expect to save any of them, when I couldn't even save myself??

    Join me, Nikki, and my new twin sister Doll as we try to save our family, and ah hell why not, everybody else on this dead, cold rock of a world called Copper 9!
    And oh yeah, if you don't know about the show and are reading this somehow:

    We'll have to deal with eldritch horrors, demonic superpowers from said eldritch horror, crazy cannibal ladies, and robot vampires too! Yippee!

    Summary

    Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a normal girl with a normal life, or so she has believed her whole life. But when a genuine supervillain emerges to threaten the people she loves, she finds herself thrust into a game of gods and monsters that has been going on since long before her time.

    There's always been something off about Adrien Agreste, at least to those who have spent time with him. He's always been a ray of sunshine, but almost too bright, a brightness only dimmed with the loss of his mother and the coldness of his father. Joining a public school, he hopes to find a renewed spark in connecting with others, and a freedom from the weight over his head - a freedom that comes to him in a form he least expected.

    As Hawkmoth casts his dark shadow over Paris, Ladybug and Chat Noir will rise, but unleashing the power of gods is not without consequence...

    Summary

    Post-canon / canon divergence au for TADC.
    (Canon compliant up to episode 6, because that's when I started writing this au. Diverges from canon in place of episode 7. Minor lore retcons as canon info is revealed, but no major overhauls.)

    Chatfic with bonus oneshots! No prior knowledge of the au (besides what is here in the series summary & notes) is required for any given fic, unless otherwise stated. If there is, I'll do my best to explain context in the fic notes.

    The cast escapes the Circus and find themselves in the long-abandoned office building of C&A, a now defunct game development company, in May 2025. The most glaring problem? None of them entered the circus in May 2025—in fact, some have been missing long enough to be declared dead.

    Picking up the pieces left is a task much easier said than done.

    Summary

    The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother’s threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland.

    Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest–and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.
