Summary
“I think they made a mistake when I was born. Everybody says I’m a girl but I feel like a boy. We should tell everyone I’m a prince, not a princess. Then they wouldn’t say the wrong things anymore.”
“Zuzu, honey, you mustn’t say things like that.” His mother grabs his shoulder firmly.
“Why not?”
She doesn’t answer for a long time, gazing at the pond before finally turning back to him, the tranquility on her face contrasting with the urgency of her grip.
“It could make people very angry.”
“Like how Father gets angry?”
“...Yes, your father would get very angry.”
“Oh. Okay.”

i think its time i conclude these tests (and begin the rest of my life) by carouselofrats

Summary
This was not mercy. This was not kindness or care or love. Before he met his palisman he wouldn’t have been able to tell, would have complied without a thought. But Flapjack had shown them happiness. For some ungodly reason, he had been deemed worthy of this bird’s companionship without being useful in return. Before meeting him, their life had been dull. He couldn’t go back to what it was like before. He couldn’t. Hunter spoke before they even realized what they were saying.
“No.”

(aka my take on your typical "Hunter leaves the Emperor's Coven and gets adopted by Eda" fic. It is canon compliant for everything before Follies at the Coven Day Parade.) -
5 Times Remus Helped the Others and 1 Time They Helped Him by carouselofrats
Fandoms: Sanders Sides (Web Series)

Summary
Remus would probably be the last side to be associated with anything normal, which was precisely why he found it easy to tell that something was decidedly not normal in the atmosphere of the mindscape after the wedding. Everybody just seemed so... down in the dumps.
But what did it matter anyways? None of the others had ever done anything for him, so it wasn’t like he really cared anyways. Obviously. Of course he didn't.
(he did.)

Nothing at All and I Resent the Question by carouselofrats

Summary
Deceit stood up, bringing out his hook and pulling Logan off of the screen. The logical side landed a bit roughly in his room, mirroring his usual position in Thomas’ living room.
“My apologies, Logan. I’m afraid my summoning abilities are a bit rusty and… unusual. Lovely room you have, by the way.”
aka my interpretation of what happened between Logan and Janus during POF when he was dragged off screen.

The Missing Hat (And What It Hides) by carouselofrats
Fandoms: Sanders Sides (Web Series)

Summary
Janus was panicking. His first movie night with the other Sides was in just a few minutes and he was missing his hat. He couldn’t let them see him without it, everybody had only just made up with each other and he’d lose all of the rapport he’d worked so hard to build up with the others if they did.
Janus felt like the mindscape had played a cruel trick on him. The others’ hair was all so beautiful… and yet he had gotten stuck with the mess he currently saw in the mirror. It was curly. Too curly; and ugly in comparison to the wonderful way that Patton’s curled. To add insult to injury, Janus’ hair just had to be blonde: a bright, platinum blonde.

Summary
“Nah, Shane would be a terrible Traitor,” Ilya said. Ilya took hold of Shane’s face, squishing his cheeks and making his lips puff out like a fish. “Everyone look at this face. You really think he can lie?” Ilya yanked Shane’s face closer to him, making Shane stumble. Some of his ginger ale sloshed out of the can. “You think he can lie to me? Please.”
Shane rubbed his cheeks with a frown once his husband released him. “Thanks, I guess.”
OR: Shane and Ilya go on the very first MLH edition of The Traitors and chaos ensues.
(Chapters will alternate between the full Traitors episode and the Twitter reaction)

Summary
In another life — or maybe the next one, or maybe the one before — Ilya Rozanov learns that some roads only lead to one place. No matter how you take them, the wolves are always waiting at the end.
Maybe that's why, in December 2008, Ilya wakes up with the distinct, inexplicable sense, that he has already lived this life before.
Some things, it turns out, are inevitable. The question is whether he is.

Summary
Akaashi hates the zeros on his wrist. They're just a constant reminder that the whole soulmate thing didn't work out for him. However, he'd rather have the zeros than have it reset. How will he break it to the person that he's just not interested?
