Summary
This is not a happy ending. This is not the struggle until dawn. This is 10 years of falling further into darkness.
After bidding farewell to her twin brother, Reina Lucis Caelum is resigned to surviving ten long years of darkness awaiting his return, but with the rest of the royal line gone, all of Eos seems determined to dump Lucis in her lap: crown, ring, and all. It's a shame that no one thought to mention her estranged ancestor with an affinity for daemons who seems to know more about her than she does, herself.

Summary
THIS IS NOT A PODFIC in the usual sense. It is an audio dramatization of the original fic. The characters are voiced by talented volunteer voice actors, and the scenes are accented by sound effects and FFXV music. Call it the budget version of a movie adaptation... if movie adaptations were completely controlled by the author and actually came out true to the source material.

Summary
“A kid’s always going to want their mom.”
“In whatever form she comes in”John Hancock once spoke those words on a return trip from the Glowing Sea. Somehow Nora didn't think he truly meant them, not as she was now. Nuka World ripped everything away. With it, she lost every hope of getting to the institute and finding her son. From below her bedroom on top of Fizz-Top Mountain, she watched the dogs and vultures as they milled about the day below. They were all the same. Always picking apart the remains until nothing was left. Then they begged for more.

Summary
Shen Yuan, an Omega, wakes up in a fantasy world without second genders. Called a different name, in a body that is not his own, nothing makes sense except that in one world he was a barren Omega and in this new world he has an entire peak of children and years of aggression he’s willing to unleash on anyone who tries to hurt them.
It should be perfect, except that the Interface keeps harping at him to achieve “the Ending,” even subjecting him to Punishment Protocols when he doesn’t play his part. In the ultimate uno reverse card, Shen Yuan colludes with his best ally —the Author himself— and together they come up with.…a plan: to change Binghe’s fate, Shen Yuan will become Emperor.
In Shen Yuan’s mind he’s going to make Binghe his heir and protect him from the Abyss at all costs. In Binghe’s mind, he’s now the Empress and willing to shank anyone who even suggests adding to the Harem.
With an authoritative Interface breathing down his neck, mysterious monsters, multiple copyright infringements, the story wildly off-course, a new kingdom to run, and his omegan instincts only growing, Shen Yuan needs a drink and a nap— preferably with his good friend, Binghe.
