Summary
She knows what it is to lack purpose.
The lack of other things—unconditional stability, benevolent guidance, a happy home—causes damage, but aimlessness.... She knows both sides of that equation too well.
But they are children. They have guardians that are not hopelessly incompetent, and they even have a chance for catharsis despite their father's death. Theirs is not an inevitable path.
[Elfnein and Carol reconcile. Resolution is the name of the game.] [Multiple POVs; short chapters.] [Should read "Counting Sheep" and "Alphabet Soup" first.]

Summary
Your time will come again. Catra will not last long as Hordak’s second in command, for the girl’s contrariness recklessly overrides her self-preservation. Very few can outlast Hordak’s games and whims, and fewer still can return from such a fall from Hordak’s grace. Perhaps, even, Hordak will deign to remember Adora’s existence and visit misery upon the one responsible for losing her.

Summary
Tactics, bias, and the value of life. Who can say what the She-Ras of old were like as warriors, as leaders, as living beings?
You do not know. Maybe they thought this, or that, or something else altogether. They could do this, or that, or other feats beyond mere mortals’ reach. You do not know.

Mayn't Change the World by Vertumn

Summary
A better outcome -- an alternate universe in which Homura isn't too messed up and almost everyone is alive. They may not be able to change the world, but they can change themselves and figure out life as best they can, hoping they won't die tomorrow.
[Very slow-moving plot, heavy introspection. Alternating 3rd person close POVs.]

Most people don't get asked before they're reincarnated into a whole new universe, but a little care really does make all the difference.

Summary
The odyssey of Rachel Gardner, who isn't actually as Quirkless as she once thought and has zero compunctions against using that to get what she wants.
Being stuck in Japan is a bit more of a hurdle than a death sentence and a high security institution, but she and Zack have dealt with steeper odds, she's pretty sure. Plus Ultra, as they say.
note: while the overall tone is intended to be humorous, this story will involve heavy themes of coming to terms with past abuse, maladaptive coping mechanisms, suicidal ideation, irresponsible divergence from medication schedules, depictions of gratuitous violence and gore, codependency withdrawal, and strong language, among othersBookmarked by Vertumn
