What if... What if the only life you had ever known, wasn't the only life you had ever had? What if really you were just a figment of someone's imagination? What if everything you are wasn't real? Welcome to Eidolon City - where nothing is really what it seems, where events seem to happen around you and a face in the crowd is never just a face in the crowd. Where the world is just that little bit too real. A world of extremes - the wealth, the poverty, the corruption. Where mob families have their fingers in every pie and innocence is a rarity. Eidolon City is a noir world, set in the early twentieth century - or so it seems. To those observing, nothing is quite right, yet its citizens notice no difference. For them, this is the only world they have ever known - in all it's dark and seedy glory. A world where two major mob families hold sway, where crooked cops lurk on every corner and private investigators run their own show. Where nightclub singers use their talent to claw their way out of the gutters of homelessness and the underbelly of society live by their own rules. Eidolon City, where life is hard, harsh and dramatic. Where some people even seem to be living manifestations of old tales and myths. And that is because they are. That is because nothing in Eidolon City is what it seems. That is because the whole place, the entire world it is in, is an illusion. ~*~ Eidolon City ~*~ Premise ~*~ Application ~*~ ~*~ Game Information ~*~ Rules ~*~ Opening Soon!!! |

Title: A Blip in Time
Characters: Captain Jack, Eleventh Doctor, Ianto Jones
Rating: PG-13 for language
Disclaimer: The BBC and RTD own Torchwood and Doctor, although I'm not sure they deserve to
Warnings: angst, character death, slash, swearing
A/N: I actually wrote this just before Children of Earth aired, and I held it back in case the events of CoE affected the fates of any of the characters I have mentioned in this story. Well... *sigh* ...this fic has now become AU, and so I have not touched a word of it, as it hardly matters now. I'm just going to say that, for the purposes of this story, some of the events of Children of Earth did not occur.
I'd have died every day for the rest of eternity, just to have him with me for a little longer.
(Happy Birthday, Ianto Harkness-Jones)

It's probably because of this ST webcomic book. It is a parody of children's books which is most assuredly NOT for kids, omg. NSFW, slashy, hilarious crack: consider yourself warned.

Tug Tug. The thread of fate ties one person to the other, it may become tangled and pulled but in the end fate will bring them together. However, what if that string was cut? What if a new thread was spun and changed your destiny forever? You awaken to a string tied around your finger and that string running through the crack of a door, the door that was never there. Impatiently tugging, you have no choice but to approach it. A cool breeze washes across your feet, the hair on your neck stands as a child's whisper licks against your ear three distinctive words. And then, Things. ⊱TAKEN LIST⊰⊱RESERVATION⊰⊱WANTED⊰⊱APPLICATION⊰ |

“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on.”-Veronica Mars Seven years ago, the Dark Lord Voldemort fell, finally bringing an end to his vicious reign of power and terror. Yet, the war did not end with his death. For years, the Wizarding World has worked to repair the damages left during the aftermath of war. Emotional burdens have yet to fully heal, too many lives destroyed, families torn apart, and friends lost. Hogwarts was left in rubble, unable to reopen for years, the damage too great, endless sweat and tears shed as people worked to rebuild the foundations to give their children a future. Death Eaters still roam free, cunningly avoiding even the best Aurors, leaving many in fear that another war will be on the horizon. As things begin to resemble some semblance of normalcy, an old follower of Voldemort is in the wings, plotting his revenge, gathering the remaining Death Eaters and new followers, planning to unleash a new war, wanting to finish his master’s vision. In the Ministry, a serial killer is murdering powerful political figures, leaving everyone pointing fingers and letting things slip through the cracks. Fenrir Greyback has escaped from Azkaban, butchering countless individuals as he runs from Aurors, gathering and making new werewolves in his travels, building an army to strike against the Ministry. Vampires have demanded equality for their race, threatening to reveal themselves to Muggles if the Ministry does not comply with their wishes and their campaign has given life to Hermione Granger’s political ambitions for equality to all magical creatures. The Prophet, with it’s new Editor-In-Chief, Katie Bell, now reports real news and is angering people throughout the Ministry for it’s blunt facts, politics, and critique of the Ministry. All the while, the Muggle World is at war in the Middle East, affecting the Wizarding World as it heightens. The entire world is in complete chaos. Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt is determined to rebuild the Wizarding Community into a vision of peace and has called forth some of the best Aurors from around the world in an effort to clean up the United Kingdom, determined to capture and imprison the remaining Death Eaters and send a clear message of constant vigilance to those seeking to do more harm. Many are unhappy with the Minister’s plans, many seeking to replace him and other important individuals, some willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goals. The Wizarding World is torn between fully recovering and moving forward and taking two steps back, arriving right back where they left off seven years ago. A new war is on the brink. Which side will you choose? | ||

Everyone knows the story of James and Lily Potter and the story of their son, Harry, but until now, the story of what happened in between has been unknown. It is 1990, the year before Harry Potter will discover he is a Wizard. Professor Quirrell is off to Albania where he will become a vessel for the weakened Dark Lord, Charlie Weasley and his friends are in their seventh-year at Hogwarts, learning all about love, life, and Quidditch, and the foundation for the future is being paved. Everyone stands at a crossroads, the road behind them broken and wilting. The road ahead holds a mystery. Which paths in life will they chose? Who will they become? Only one thing is certain; they must choose. | ||
Most Wanted: Remus Lupin, Lucius Malfoy, Andromeda & Ted Tonks, Bill, Percy, & Charlie Weasley, Oliver Wood, Students, Teachers, & many others! | ||

| A beautiful utopia of nature greets you upon your arrival. Rich, lush forests, sparkling rivers and lakes, sweet, clean air and majestic, towering mountains. A little slice of heaven. What a pity that such a thing doesn't exist. When you come to, you find a pair of superficial wings attached to your back; you feel an ache that fades after a time, and if bychance you find a kind stranger or a mirror, you may discover the bar code on the back of your neck. You've been branded, little mouse. Just be glad it wasn't something worse. Yes, that comes later. Housing is free, everything is free. The villagers seem helpful, if completely lifeless. However, there are some villagers that appear different; like you, they speak freely. Claim to have been transported from their own worlds, dumped here, given wings and experimented on mercilessly. Occasionally some will go missing. Occasionally, some will end up dead; but in the end they all return, a little less than what they were before. Before long such a thing could happen to you, too. The people have tried their best to make life bearable here. It isn't difficult; aside from the experimentation and kidnapping, Luceti really would be a wonderful place to live. What a shame that the golden apple has to have a rotten spot, but so goes life. Or maybe...you can make a difference. Only one way to find out. |

Title: Hunter/Hunted, Chapter 9: Bargains
Authors:
vikingprincess
(chapters 1-8 by both
vikingprincess and
adarkershade_x)
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel and X-Men(Comics, main 616 universe)
Characters: Angelus/Rogue, ensemble from both X-Men and BtVS/AtS
Rating: Adult or NC-17 (nudity, language, violence, sexual situations, death)
Spoilers: Through Season 5 of Angel, final episode. None for X-men, though there are Mutant Registration Act and Civil War connections implied, never explicitly stated.
Updates: Every two weeks
Additional Warnings: NotAHappyFic ™ It's post-Apocalyptic in two senses, and that's never cheerful. There will be character deaths (multiple, in both flashbacks and as the story progresses). IMO, the story’s better if you don’t know ahead of time who has died, or how. If you really want to know so that it doesn’t shock you, you can click for deaths explicitly mentioned in this and other chapters.
Comments: Yes, please!
All chapters can be found here.
