    Summary

    chaos theory
    noun
    the branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behaviour is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences.

    'Is this really worth it?' Seems to be a recurring thought throughout Noir's life.

    He remembers thinking it at nine years old after snapping Lewis Frankel's neck. He remembers thinking it after Soldier Boy ruined his chance of being in Beverly Hills Cop. He remembers thinking it as his skull was smashed in by the same man who had taken everything from him.

    Now, here he is, forty years later. Despite being broken, the same whispering self-doubt has managed to cling onto whatever husk that's still left of him, murmuring a tiny, ‘was stopping him worth it?’

    Noir shoves the thought down like every other time.

    He doubts that the whole ordeal with Starlight and The Deep will affect anything. It was just one awkward moment he stumbled into by accident. How much could that possibly change for him?

    OR

    A rewrite of The Boys from Black Noir's POV if he had accidentally interrupted Starlight and The Deep's first meeting.

    Summary

    Transmigration into any fictional universe seemed like sort of a raw deal - but she was glad not to be dead. Plus, out of all "The Boys" characters she could’ve been delt, Gecko was a pretty convenient pick in such a violent world.

    Self-insert fix-it (sort of) for my silliest hyperfixation.

    Summary

    Devi Chandran, a thirty year old doctor, dies suddenly in a hit-and-run… and wakes up sixteen again in 2004 Forks, Washington. Which was already bad enough. Except Forks is that Forks, the one from the Twilight books she devoured as a teenager.

    Devi decides immediately that the smartest thing she can do is stay out of it. Bella Swan will show up soon, Edward Cullen will fall hopelessly in love with her, and the entire messy supernatural drama will unfold exactly the way it’s supposed to. She wants absolutely no part in it.

    Unfortunately, Edward seems to disagree.

    For reasons she can’t understand, Edward becomes fascinated with the strange new girl in town whose mind doesn’t work the way everyone else’s does. The harder she tries to avoid him, the more their lives seem to collide. Soon Edward is laughing more than he has in decades, Devi is developing feelings she definitely isn’t supposed to have, and Bella is watching the boy she likes grow closer to someone else.

    Devi is determined not to interfere with the story. But the story might already be changing. And the more time she spends with Edward, the harder it becomes to pretend she doesn’t belong in it.
