Digital fully rendered illustration of Viktor Nikiforov from Yuri!!! On Ice, drawn from the waist up. It is set in a canon divergent AU, he is a child of 10 to 12 years old. He has a bob cut. He is wearing a green hoodie with a patch with the Russian flag on the left arm and a brown messenger bag. He is facing the viewer, clasping his hands together, smiling and looking up with huge bright eyes. Clear skies can be seen in the background, with three planets or moons of different sizes in the distance. On the top it says "They said you were a bright child" in big blue font and "A Yuri!!! On Ice space AU one shot" below it in smaller blue font. On the bottom left corner it says "cosmiclion on Tumblr" in white font, with "cosmiclion" witten all in lowercase, and below it "CosmicLion on AO3" also in white font, with the "C" and the "L" written in uppercase.

Cover art showing white text over a red cloudy sky (image credits link in following post). "But only one may stand at a given time" Amahisa x Sanada Sentinel/guide fantasy AU 5000 words, Rated E By solecist10

Screenshot of the work on Archive of our own of "But only one may stand at a given time". Notable text includes the Rape/Non-Con archive warning and the following summary: “You deserved to know what happened to them, before the end.” To stop the impending calamity, Seido has been capturing and forcing all sentinels into stasis. But for an unknown reason, Sanada was instead forced to be the medic there. Each day, the red sky burns, and Sanada is desperate to find out what happened to his team, who were manipulated into capturing the sentinel from Ichidaisan. And then they all disappeared. When that sentinel is suddenly captured, Sanada is prepared to do anything – trust anyone – to get his team back…!

Sharing my #ficwip5k work! I was surprised with all the little moments I ended up writing in this one. It was a pretty fun imagining Sanada's and Amahisa's different "slacker" personalities in a Sentinel/guide dark fantasy.

Please enjoy ~ archiveofourown.org/works/68991061

Title: between two worlds Series: Persona Series, Persona 5, Persona 3 Rating: M Characters: Akechi Goro, Sakaki Takaya, Ikutsuki Shuji Words: 4,297 Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Alternate Universe, Human Experimentation, Implied/Referenced Bullying, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm, Suicide, Suicide Ideation, Grooming, Pre-Canon, Persona 3 Spoilers, Persona 5 Spoilers Chapters: 2 Summary: “Good.” Takaya grins, a pleased grin, “Death is nothing to be afraid of. However…” Goro’s blood runs cold when Takaya’s grin turns upside down. “Attachment is. You need to forget about this woman." How could he do that? He doesn’t know why she left him alive, so until Goro has found that purpose, there is no way he could even attempt to forget her. She didn’t need to kill herself where Goro could see her—and yet she did. There has to be some kind of meaning behind this decision. His mother is dead, the orphanage is cruel—Goro just doesn’t see why he is still alive. Everything changes for the better the moment he gets kidnapped off the streets, needle injections and examinations now becoming a part of his life. He is special—the one with the highest Potential—that’s what he is told.

Title: [Clive] Summary: Throughout his life he has found himself drawing the profile of this person on the blank pages of his notebooks during school, on the edge of his books during college, and even in the sand during trips with family and friends. Even though this man is not someone he knows personally, he could easily say that he knows him as well as the back of his hand. Eyes full of hope, a smile that brings him peace, and a warm expression that softens every time he looks in his direction. More info: FFXVI. Roscest. 5k words. Rated T.
