Summary
“So, your robot picked up on some weird space activity and you…” she squints. “Just decided to take a spaceship to see what’s up?”
“Well…yes,” Reed says. Again, like it’s obvious. “That’s what we do. We’re—” he stops and studies her. “You really don’t know who we are?”
Darcy glances around the lab, where half her monitors are filling with information being scanned and gathered from their docked ship, at the nervous interns who insist on wearing full hazmat suits clustered near the door. “I feel like it’s pretty obvious that no one here knows who you are,” she says after a moment.
“We’re the Fantastic Four.”
She stares at him for a moment. “Did you come up with that name yourselves?”

Summary
Percy Kincaid knew of three truths:
1- The sea was colder than any man cared to admit.
2 - His father was mad... or at least Edinburgh said he was.
3 - And some legends, no matter how ridiculous they sounded, refused to stay buried.
Percival Kincaid was certain of one more thing: he did not believe in mermaids. Not selkies, not sirens, not the stories whispered in the pubs near the docks. He was a scientist, a rational man, and a scholar’s assistant, devoted to microscopes and marine specimens; not to fairy tales.
Percival Kincaid was certain of such until the man in the tank spoke.
“I am called Mako Aqual,” he said, eyes steady, voice firm. “I am not a monster. I am a scientist. And I need your help.”
Caught between skepticism and fascination, Percy must decide: free the mysterious stranger, or let centuries of secrets remain buried beneath the sea.

The Journal of Aurelia Cassian by HoneySickle47
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls

Summary
She came to Skyrim with twenty septims, a dagger, and far too much confidence.
Aurelia Cassian is eighteen, stubborn, sarcastic, and completely unprepared for the blood-soaked chaos waiting beyond Cyrodiil’s border. She thought she’d find adventure. Instead, she finds wolves, frostbite, bandits, necromancers, unpaid labor, morally dubious bards, and a chair by the fire if she’s lucky. So...kind of the same!
These are her journal entries—recorded every day without skipping a beat—as she tries to survive a land that seems determined to break her. What begins as the overconfident ramblings of a would-be adventurer slowly becomes something more: a record of scars, choices, victories, and the uncomfortable, unstoppable process of becoming someone powerful.
She doesn’t know she’s the Dragonborn. She just wants to make it through the week without dying, crying, or punching a noble in the teeth.
She might fail on all three.
But at least she'll look damn good doing it. -

- It was like a knife twisting in my gut, watching the tears run down her face. "No more hiding, no more lies!" Harumi's voice was raw, and every word felt like a piece of my heart breaking. "Rumi? We can still fix this," I begged, desperate to pull her back from the edge.Her eyes burned into mine, filled with a pain I couldn't comprehend. "Don't you get it?! This is what I am! Look at me! Why can't you look at me and see the monster I've become? Why couldn't you love me for who I truly am?" Each word hit me like a physical blow. "I do!" I insisted, my voice cracking with emotion.
But she recoiled, her own heart aching with a pain that mirrored mine. "All of me," she whispered, a bitter lament that echoed in the space between us.
In another world, she survived.
Now, in this world, she's hidden herself, become someone else entirely. I found her, living a new life, and now I'm faced with a choice that could shatter everything: expose her and bring her to justice, or protect the secret of the girl I once loved, even if it means betraying everything I stand for.
